What's Playin'?

[LTSJayce]

Due to no real progression in topics in our l'il ACT section(c'mon,face it:we're not really growing outta sight with new topics in the last 6 months...),I thought I'd throw this into the mix:

What's your fave' tunes being turned up on your home stereo/work radio/MP3 player(Ipod isn't the only brand,yes?)or car's stereo?What REALLY gets you amped/teary/thinking/working/mashing?I don't want or need anyone bagging other peoples' music/song selection:whatever you listen to is totally your call.I always like to see what other people are into;it usually jogs my memory of a song or album I need to revisit,or opens my eyes to new stuff that I otherwise wouldn't have listened to...

I know Ipods have that 'star rating' feature to keep your favorites in some sense of importance/priority of best/most listened to,down to 'meh...could care less'. What I'm curious about is what REALLY gets you lot out of the drone of everyday life,for,as we all know,music is one of the essentials for almost all of us!

So,maybe something like this:

Artist:Disturbed

Song/s: Voices,The Game

Album:The Sickness

C'mon people:LET'S GET IT ON!!

[supadan]

[Shell]

I like a bit of everything...but mostly rock I guess... Anything that's catchy really and isn't too boring or repetitive. Not a fan of rnb.

some bands of the top of my head are Linkin Park, Fort Minor, Hoobastank, Three Doors Down, The Offspring, Wolfmother, Arctic Monkeys, Audioslave, Ben Lee (his old stuff), Blink 182, Bon Jovi, Coldplay, Alex Lloyd, Eskimo Joe, Fuel, Gorillaz, Kelly Clarkson, Madonna, N.E.R.D., Paul Kelly, U2, not really into hip hop but i like a bit of the Hilltop Hoods stuff..

and I love HEAPS of old school 80's stuff

[SKYLVIA]

N.E.R.D are great, im sorta hoping pharrel will start doing some new stuff with them instead of all his solo stuff, i liked him much better in N.E.R.D

[JaiJai]

Really anything to be honest sometimes the engine will do just fine but as a short list

BHG - F>U>C>K, uhn tiss uhn tiss uhn tiss, anything to put a smile on ma face

Chemical Brothers - Galvanize is their best but so many others

Darude - sandstorm classic!

Gunners - makes me feel truker

Jay Z/Linkin Park - encore (ohh so miami vice)

Muse - everything

Audioslave - Shadow on the sun THE BEST NIGHTTIME MUSIC

Wolfmother - everything

enjoy also to those on RATM check out Audioslaves new album killer

[Frink]

IF IT AIN'T ELECTRONIC, I DONT LISTEN TO IT!!!!

Artist: many...

Album(s): Sessions 3, Club Work, Hard NRG 1>8, Hard Trance etc.... (you get the point!)

Songs: Too many too list....

[MIVEC]

Iron Maiden is where it's at baby yeah!!

Best thing to come out of Britain.

[Sinista32]

Individual artists isnt my thing, more into a few songs on most every hit album since the 60's but get over it quickly by Overkill (playin it over n over). I'm totaly comercial so if it aint been on the charts and recently I'm prolly not playing it.

There is quite a few that spool the turbs. Mainly RnB, Gangsta and rock from the 80's.

[GTR32GUS]

Celibrate Rifles are my fav band , best album would be "blind ear" they are a 80`s rock/punk band i think I`m there only fan aged under 40

NOFX would be #2 , another 80`s punk band , just get any album they are all pretty much the same (F@#KIN GOOD) had to ban NOFX from the car , made me speed too much

Music which isn`t over 10 years old i would rate Muph and Platonic as the best , go aussie hip hop

Also like Stone Roses , Mountain Goats and The Herd

Song/s: Before the Hangman's Noose, Grinf**ked

Optional,genre: Metal

Best thing to come out of Britain.

[MIVEC]

You should get down to JB Hi Fi man, they've got all their (bar the new one) Iron Maiden cd's on sale for TEN bucks man.

I'm going back to grab all the ones I don't have.

Their new CD (A Matter of Life and Death) is pretty cool.....so far it's a lot slower paced than their previous stuff but hey come on, the guy is like 50!!!
