Haha, sweet. Are they still together?

I believe so. Every time I shuffle the songs on my iPod and one of them songs comes on, I get ready to groooove. I just really enjoy their songs.

[GiantBaba]

• David Sylvian

Holy shit, I love David Sylvian! Secrets of the Beehive is one of my all-time favorite albums, and Japan is my favorite band. Mick Karn (fretless bassist who was in Japan) is the reason I even play music.

 

[OzzyC]

about the only truely un-metal thing ive listened to lately was Fort Minor

other then that i listen to is a little bit of rock and then a lot of prog, power, symphonic, thrash, death, goth, etc.(or any combination of the above ) metal

 

[Scott]

The Rankin's

 

[metalfiend666]

John Williams
Scott Joplin
Sousa

I like a lot of those kind of guys from my brass band days.

VNV Nation

Cool stuff, I've spent many a night dancing away to VNV Nation, Combichrist and the like. I like "bleepy goth".

 

[Chris]

pantera!!!!

Yes, you'd never expect anyone on this site to like Pantera. Nevermind the fact that the front page was a Dime memorial for a week when he was killed.

Tina Turner

Some of the 70s funk bands have some shredding guitarists. It shocked the hell out of me.

There's some musicals that I really enjoy - Fiddler on the Roof, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, West Side Story, Rocky Horror... and some others I can't think of at the moment.
