Big music fan here, my taste varies from indie bands to electronica to movie/show scores and so on. I grew up on a lot of english stuff like Stone Roses and Blur, Oasis and The Lightning Seeds. I Finally got into Modest Mouse (still not sure how) and my taste really just started to expand from there. Some of my longstanding favorite bands/artist's are Iron & Wine, Magnolia Electric Co, Modest Mouse, Bill Callahan, Low, Joanna Newsom & J Tillman, The Black Keys and Fever Ray to name but a few. From more recent stuff I really like M83, James Blake, Twin Shadow, Broken Bells and Radical Face - I could go on and on but you get the idea. I play a little acoustic guitar myself, nothing fancy but I'm not too bad! Music and comics are my two real loves. edit: I also have last.fm which tracks my plays www.last.fm/user/MuddyHymnal

Yeah, I agree. Punk rock is where it's at! I really like Social D and Minor Threat. 7 Seconds and Fugazi are the shit too.
A kind of fun food for thought that I think of quite frequently; What music from this era will become "classics" 20 years from now? Will ANY of it? And will people continue to listen to the music that is considered great right now?

I think people will continue to listen to music that's considered great or classic now, the same as how people still listen to music from 20 years ago. As to what will become classics, I don't have a clue. Maybe the Foo Fighters? They are probably the only band that I can think of that has a sound that I don't think will age horribly.

Unfortunately, rock and roll is on the way out. I think in this millennium rock music will go more and more toward the way jazz has. That is to say: a small but fervent group of aficionados appreciating and continuing and evolving the popular forms of a bygone era. But who knows? There could be another Nirvana tomorrow and it could all break all over again.

I think that Mumford & Sons will be remembered for a long time to come. They have a huge fanbase and are swimming against the popular stream of electronic music at this point. They aren't my favorite but their songs are catchy and upbeat. I think there will only be songs that are remembered from this generation of music, since most popular artists release almost exclusively single tracks. It's kind of sad that we won't have any more Dark Side Of The Moon's or Led Zeppelin III's anymore... Oh well, times change, and music changes faster.

Meh. Popular music can do what it wants at this point. It and I have an understanding: I'll do my thing and it'll to its and everyone once in a great while, those two things will intersect. That's worked quite well for the both of us for the past couple of decades.

Oh well, times change, and music changes faster. Surely at some point that's all relative, to what you enjoy right. And who's to know that we don't already have it, and don't recognise it yet.

Oh yeah. That album is better than anything Miles Davis has ever done. Ke$ha is now the definition of cool.

Spyro Gyra, Rippingtons, Yellowjackets, Manhattan Transfer and Harry Connick Jr for enjoyment. For background sound anything pop from the 80's.

I grew up as a punk kid, now I love hip hop and hardcore. I also listen to a lot of funk, soul, classic country western, and thrash metal. I've never actually been to a real hip hop show though, closest I've ever been was seeing Turquoise Jeep. I go to hardcore and punk shows often.

I can't tell if we're being ironic anymore or not.
