I like this thread. As someone who has suffered depression, music is very therapeutic to me. As such, I like a lot of variety. But my main genres are indie, drone, and old jazz. I'm not terribly knowledgable about any of them, but I know it when I hear it, and I love it.

So:

Drone: Stars of the Lid - "Austin Texas Mental Hospital, Part III"

Indie (which probably has a lot of subgenres I don't know or understand): The Fitness - "Analog Synths"

Old jazz: The Glenn Miller Orchestra - "In The Mood"

[Hydra009]

My playlist is almost entirely Alternative Rock and Alt-Metal.



My personal favorite atm:

Pretty much anything except for country, rap, hip-hop, pop, or any music made after 2000 aimed at teens and preteens. Yuck. I also like very very sad, and very very angry stuff.

[on New Kids on the Block, Rick Astley, George Michaels, et al] People say to me, "Oh, Bill, leave them alone. They're so good, and so clean-cut, and they're such a good image for the children." Fuck that! When did mediocrity and banality become a good image for your children? I want my children listening to people who fucking rocked! I don't care if they died in pools of their own vomit! I want someone who plays from his fucking heart! "Mommy, the man Bill told me to listen to has a blood bubble on his nose." SHUT UP AND LISTEN TO HIM PLAY!

There was once a band called Cheetah Chrome and the Motherfuckers.

[Aroura33]

Showtunes and Disney songs.  :-$

(Also some 80's rock because that was what imprinted on me in my teens, I cannot help it. And some Metal, ala Metalica, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, etc).

So shoot me.

Edited to add:  Ohhh, I almost forgot classic rock and other oldies.  From the Andrews Sisters to Sinatra to the Beatles and on.  All good shit.
