I thought this was part of the introduction thread. Anyway...

Band: Aerosmith

Male Artist: Cristopher Franke

Female Artist: Faye Wong

Genre: Eurobeat

Analyze that.

And what about yours?

Everybody should listen to Muse, They're like if Freddie Mercury were still around and had gotten really into Metallica and Radiohead.

They don't release albums in the US, so it's all imports, but they're floating around on the intarweb. In addition to their albums, they've got a badass cover of Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You* you can find on the Napster (or whatever the hell it is you kids use nowadays... young punks with your ITunes and your 'paying for music'... and if one of you little bastards so much as thinks the word Bittorrent I'll cane the lot of you...).

*Totally fucking serious.

I don't know her name but the girl that does some of the singing for the songs in the .//hack show is amazing.

Favorite Genre:
Metal but really anything except for most pop and county.

Sorry for the long post but I could not pick just one band or artist.

Correction. Muse has released one album in the states, Absolution. Kick ass album it is, too.

Anyway, at the moment my favorite artist is They Might Be Giants. In fact, I'm listening to thier newest album, The Spine, and it's companion EP, The Spine Surfs Alone, right now. It's a return to thier older style, while still retaining the full band and full sounds of thier more recent outings. Much more consistant in sound than thier recent albums as well. Quite good. Plus, I was able to buy it in mp3 format directly from the John's themselves. They've opened up a little mp3 shop at http://www.theymightbegiants.com/, and although it's a bit risky giving the mp3s directly to the people, it's still really cool to bypass the record industry entirely and give my money to the band. I got the package deal, and hey, $13 isn't bad for that much music.

Oh, and by the way, you all can see thier newest music video too. Check out Experemental Film over at Homestar Runner ^^

These might not fit, but I love rap, so basically all these people are rappers

Hmm... This is difficult:

Favorite band: What the hell? It's not the band that counts, it's the players.
Favorite male artist: To save time, I'll say Gerry Mulligan, but next time, start breaking things into instruments, please!
Favorite female artist: Can't think of any. Sorry.
Favorite Genre: Jazz, except for the new "smooth jazz" crap, all styles foolishly dubbed "classical."

Well then. Please realize there's no way in hell I can narrow it down to only one per category.

Favorite Genre: None I like all music, its just I can' t stand some of the stuff that passes for it

Favorite Band: um... if i had to pick one... Senses Fail...

Favorite Genre: TECHNO!!!! WHOOO!!!!

Well I enjoy the older music like Styx, The Who, Pink Floyd. Then while I will get into the newer metal such as System of a Down, and Linkin Park, but nothing settels like the classic.

Favorite Band: Muse (Truly awesome) Lacuna Coil, Iron Maiden, Green Day

Favorite Male Artist: Matt Bellamy, Chester Bennington, Martin Grech

Favorite Female Artist: Amy Lee, Cristina Scabbia

Favorite Genre: Rock/Metal/Punk....

Favorite Bands: AC/DC, Metallica, At The Gates, Eppu Normaali(Finnish), The Beatles, Slayer...

Favorite Male Artist: John Lennon...

Favorite Female Artist: Virve 'Vicky' Rosti...I don't really listen to many female artists.

Favorite Genre: Everything goes...To a certain limit offcourse.

I've got nothing more to say besides... :D You know what Eläkeläiset and Kumikameli mean? Or did we discuss this allready on one of my threads when I asked what people listen to?

I guess I'll do a more official version of this now, as my last one was pretty much an ad for They Might Be Giants... heh....

Favorite Band(s): They Might Be Giants, Velvet Revolver, Blues Traveller, Tool

Favorite Male Artist(s): Maynard James Keenan (Tool, A Perfect Circle), Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots, Velvet Revolver), Slash (Guns 'N Roses, Slash's Snake Pit, Velvet Revolver)

Favorite Female Artist: Amy Lee (Evanescence)

Favorite Genre: I don't really have one, I just don't like individual songs/artists/groups.

Hehe... we did discuss this, but I knew it long ago. Actually, that was partly why they appealed to me so much. :D

For the Finnish impaired, Eläkeläiset means The Pensioners, and Kumikameli means Rubber Camel. Both of these bands are batshit insane in a very good way.

I've never had the 'pleasure' of listening to Kumikameli, but Eläkeläiset does rockzor!!! :D

Don't they? And Kumikameli have a good number of mp3s up on their website (www.kumikameli.com), so if you want to give 'em a try, head over there. It's basically punk influenced by nearly every other music style there is, which shows. Also, I hear the lyrics are rather... particular.

Favorite Band: Toy-Box, Aqua, Freezepop, Queen, Tool, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, That Dog, Minus the Bear, Puffy AmiYumi, The Queers, The Pixies, Ween, Godspeed you! Black Emperor, Wilco, The Flaming Lips, Sonata Arctica and Splashdown

I'm thinking of changing my favorite zeppelin song to either "no quarter" or "hey hey what can I do." And tool is going to hell for their cover of no quarter.

You visit the site? But it's in finnish...How do you understand?

Actually, I recommend just getting the whole CD, The Spine. It was released just a couple of days ago, and it's thier best CD since Flood. It's great.

Simple. I don't. :) I came across the site when I googled for the band name, so "visit" would be saying a little too much... I just went to see if there was info in English, which wasn't the case, but I could just about gather the meaning of "musiikia" (MUSIC DUH), and "mp3-files" was pretty self-explanatory.

Band: Do As Infinity, SoaD, Green Day, NESkimos

Male Artist: Daron Malakian, Dave Mustaine, Barry White, Ryo Owatari, Sir Mix Alot

Female Artist: Van Tomiko, Amy Lee

Genre: Arg... All minus country, pop, and rap, I suppose..

There must be something in english somewhere. But mp3 is not hard to understand...international language. And, by the way...it's musiikkia. With two K's... :D

Is there some reason people started listin multiple for each catagory? I mean, I don't see any "s"es anywhere.

They all did it just to make you mad, Otaku. We had a meeting about it. It's a conspiracy. I promise.

Favorite Band: The Dresden Dolls
Favorite Male Artist: James Mercer of The Shins.
Favorite Female Artist: Amanda Palmer of The Dresden Dolls
