Well, in my case I just love 70`s and 80's rock/heavy metal and british pop from that same period. My favorite band is Queen, and also love Mike Oldfield, Nightwish, Blind Guardian, AC/DC, Within Temptation, Sonata Arctica, KISS, The Who, Pretenders, Bonnie Tyler, HIM, Texas (In demand, yay! ), The Offspring, Eurythmics, The Bangles, The Communards/Jimmy Sommerville, Jean Michel Jarre, Avalanch (a spanish heavy band), Warcry (the same as Avalanch), Duran Duran, Billy Idol, Alice Cooper....
Pwew! I like almost all musical stiles, but I can't stand the music we have here in Spain right now....

I'm more into rock and metal, sometimes a bit of pop, but rarely. if you look at my cds though you'll find a bit of everything 8D;

my fav band is u2, right behind is system of a down and audioslave!

am also listening to bands like rammstein (some might know them), PUR (german band as well), the rolling stones, the eagles, marilyn manson, johnny cash, die fantastischen 4 (the only hip hop music I like. their lyrics are awesomely deep!), koRn, depeche mode, the foo fighters and I -love- soundtracks :]

so yeah.. this is quite mixed, however, I prefer it loud. Very Happy

I prefer it loud, too!
And I love Rammstein, though I don't understand a single bit of german!

I'm listening toa bit of everything, too. Classic french singers, rock - I love Queen, and U2 - classical music too. And I really like Mylène Farmer, and Peter Gabriel.

I especially listen to soundtracks, I love to hear music from the movies I loved Very Happy

My favorites composers are Danny Elfman and Hans Zimmer.
( and others like John Williams, James Horner, Patrick Doyle, James Newton Howard, Michael Kamen, Joe Hisaishi, Howard Shore... Etc. )
I think my favorite is Titanic. And Edward Scissorhands is probably the most beautiful soundtrack ever. But it's too sad D:

And the singer I love above all is Loreena McKennitt ( Canadian world-music singer, for those who don't know ). I'm a totally rabid fan of her and I worship her even more than Alan ( it's her birthday, by the way 8D )
She's got the most amazing voice I've ever heard, and her music is so rich - lots of celtic, arab, oriental inspirations.

Joe Hishiashi is one of my favorites, too. I think the OS from Kaze no tani no Nausicaa is just a masterpiece, I love it!
I also like Vocjiek Killar, the composer from Bram Stoker's Dracula and The ninth gate, and Basil Poledouris. And the LOTR soundtracks are superb..

Aaaw I've never seen Nausicaa D:
And I didn't pay much attention to Dracula's soundtrack, I saw it two weeks ago and I hated it...
Basil Poledouris, I think I just know Red October - and it's gorgeous. As for the LoTR... well, i'm a great great fan ;)

now we're talking about fav soundtracks:

the perfume.

I tell you, I haven't heard a better soundtrack so far. the music floats over the entire movie like a perfume's scent :] it's awesome, it's touching, it's making you catch your breath while you watch the film. throughout you could always say: yes, this is the 'the perfume' soundtrack.
others I listened to I wouldn't always reckognize as the same.
the HP GOF soundtrack for example is such a soundtrack imo, perhaps because they changed the guy who wrote the music before...

Nausicaa is a great movie, an anime classic.
Basil Poledouris is the composer of one of the best soundtracks in history: Conan the barbarian. And of course, Conan the destroyer Wink

About Dracula...well, it's one of my favorite books, and the first time I saw the movie, I was really angry at it, absolutely hate it! But right now I consider it a great movie, I just overlook the fact that it's a story that has nothing to do with the book, and just enjoy the great actors in it Razz

I like its soundtrack because I love instrumental pieces with chorus, that's why I like Disney's The hunchback of Notre Dame (Alan Menken, another one of my favorites) and absolutely love the theme "The bridge of Khazad Dûm" from LOTR...

Dracula is my favorite book, and that's why I didn't like the movie, though I usually like most of these actors... But I don't think I would have liked it even if I didn't have read the book. The atmosphere is too surrealist and exaggerated for me :/

My favorite part of LoTR is the Rohan's theme, and I really love 'Forth Eorlingas', when they charge down the hill.

I don't really remember the soundtrack for The Perfume, but I know I liked it... It's the director who composed it, didn't he ?

Yeah, the director is Tom Tykwer. I think I've read in a magazine that he also composed the score with his band, or something like that.

I think the better question may be what I'm not into. I mostly listen to metal (Kittie, Job For A Cowboy, etc.), hardcore (Norma Jean, Evergreen Terrace, He Is Legend, Walls of Jericho, etc.), punk (Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash, Toy Dolls, Distillers) garage and indie rock (Shiny Toy Guns, The Postal Service, hellogoodbye, The Faint, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, British Sea Power,etc.) and rockabilly/psychobilly (Johnny Cash, Social D, Tiger Army, Nekromantix). On top of that I listen to a lot of classical, opera, musical theater (Phantom and Les Mis are the favorites) - pretty much anything. Lot of classic rock too and new wave.

Oh right, and then there's Elvis Costello. I can't really put him in any category, but suffice it to say that he's my favorite musician...ever. Dresden Dolls are another favorite. Rilo Kiley is awesome. Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson...alright I need to stop! Laughing
