Random Music!

[PMJ]

We have Random Films and Random Books, now Random Music!

What kind of music do you like? I like Eminem, 50 Cent, The Game, Queen...

My favourite Eminem songs are: Without Me, Stan, Hailie's Song, My Dad's Gone Crazy, Lose Yourself, Mosh, Just Lose It, Mockingbird and Ass Like That.
But my ABSOLUTE favourite is Like Toy Soldiers.

I also like In Da Club, 21 Questions and Candy Shop by 50 Cent.
My favourite The Game songs are Dreams and Like Father, Like Son (featuring Busta Rhymes)

Two of my other favourite songs are 50 Cent/The Game colabirations, Hate It or Love It and How We Do.

The Queen songs I like are We Will Rock You, Another One Bites The Dust, Bohemian Rhapsody, Somebody To Love, We Are The Champions, A Kind Of Magic, Radio Ga Ga, I Want It All, I Want To Break Free, but my favourite is Don't Stop Me Now.

I have also been listening to a lot of Michael Jackson songs recently, especially ABC (Jackson 5), I Want You Back (Jackson 5), Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground) (The Jacksons), Blame It On The Boogie (The Jacksons), Billie Jean, Thriller, Way You Make Me Feel, Smooth Criminal, Rockin' Robin, You Rock My World, Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough and Beat It.
There is also a song I had never heard by Michael Jackson before, that one of my best friends, Sarah, introduced me to, which is Earth Song, and now I listen to it A LOT, because it reminds me of her, and she calms me down, so I always listen to it when 'm mad, to calm me down.

My favourite ever song is Proud by Heather Small. I loved it even before it became the offficial Olympics song. It has great meaning and my whole year group performed it when we left our junior school, so it brings back good memories of 'little' school.

Ah, little school. The memories...

My favourite song at the moment would have to be You're Beautiful by James Blunt, because honestly, it's such a brilliant song! I also like The Dare by the Gorillaz, because the video rocks. It always gets me dancing, or at least singing along to the goofy head. Other than that, I don't really know, because I'm heavily influenced by radio and tv to which music I listen to, which is why another favourite of mine is We Believe by Good Charlotte... It's a good song about war, etc, and the chorus just fills me up with all kinds of emotions, and the first time I watched it (On Kerrang music channel) it made me cry... So yeah. That about covers it.

I like a lot of different styles of music but my favourites are undoubtedly video game and Anime music. Most anything by Uemastu (main FF composer), Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger, Xenogears, Xenosaga), and Sakimoto (Final Fantasy Tactics) is amazing, and Michiko Naruke (Wild ARMs 1 and 2) also has some downright beautiful pieces. There are lot of other great VGM composers, such as the genius(es) behind Pokemon or The Legend of Zelda series', but those four I named are definitely my favourites at the moment. Not to be left out is the Black Mages, ie. the rock band Uematsu is part of that revamps various FF songs. Utterly awesome they are. I can't get enough of them and hope they keep on making more CDs ^^

Then we have Anime music... I say "Anime" because while I'd probably love most J-pop, Anime intros/endings are the majority of my downloads because they're easy to locate. Favourites of mine are probably anything from Pokemon (Japanese and dubbed), Inuyasha, and the Slayers. I have lots of random songs that I love, though... "True" from Dragon Drive, "Cruel Angel Thesis" from Neon Genesis, anything from Ranma 1/2, "Wind" from Naruto, anything from Angelic Layer or CCS, "Wild Flowers" from Zoids, anything from Digimon ("Biggest Dreamer" and "Fire!!" standing out most), and... and... About 30 others. I tell ya I could live off the things ;p
Slayers is particularly notable because I own the "Best of the Slayers" CD, a 2-disc collection that encompasses everything from intros/endings, to songs inspired by the show, to songs from the radio play, and love pretty much everything on it. Megumi Hayashibara, the main singer, is just awesome. Pretty much any other songs she's done for other Anime ("Infinity" from Lost Universe; "Over Soul" and "Northern Lights" from Shaman King) I fall instantly in love with ^^

Moving on... I listen to a variety of other styles of music but ballads of any kind are probably my favourite style. Still, I love the Barenaked Ladies and Great Big Sea, as well as Phil Collins and Brian Adams. Then I have random songs I love here and there... a few by U2, the Tea Party, Savage Garden, Googoo Dolls, Evanescence, yadda yaddda... Even Avril and Hilary Duff. I'm getting away from the whole "I can't like them/her/him because they're fake and everyone else hates them" kinda thinking on music and instead simply listening to what I like. If that includes Hilary Duff, so be it
Note that I dislike most all rap. Most rap music has degrading lyrics or is just plan annoying, but there are exceptions. There always is. Same goes for heavy metal. If I'm in the right mood I'm sure I could enjoy it but I'm definitely no "punk". I like being able to understand the lyrics and hear the instrumentals over ear-damaging drums plzkthx.

And that just about sums it up... There are lots of songs I hear off the radio or on my sister's PC that I like yet don't actually know the title of or who sings it.

That "Goofy head" is Sean Ryder from the happy mondays, and is a legend, anyway, moving on, I'm currently listening to the new Nine inch nails album. It owns you. I love it, and its great. seriously.

[Prof. Cinders]

lol, I knew it was someone I should be able to remember, but I'm not good with names. Unless it's a nickname. Or a username. Anyway! I got the James Blunt CD a few days ago, and I've been listening to it for ages while i do my homework. It got me hooked on No Bravery, which so rocks! ;D

[PMJ]

I can't stand that "You're Beautiful" ****e! It drives me mad!

[Hana-san]

I love Dare by the Gorillaz, wait, I just like the Gorillaz full stop I've got Demon Days (ya know their album) and it ROCKS!

I also like anything by evenescence (or however you spell it) and a few of the songs by Good Charlotte like We Believe.

Oh and Josh is gonna hate me for saying this but McFly ROCK!

[PMJ]

They actually DON'T! They SUCK!

[Linkachu]

Well, way to make me look like I typed to much with your short replies guys! I guess I just put to much thought into certain things

Anyways, got a new favourite song today. Well, sorta. I've loved it ever since I heard it but had no access to it aside from a DVD. Now I've got a rip of it "Make a Wish" from the 6th dubbed Pokemon movie! ^^
That song seriously brings tears to my eyes ^^;;;

Thats True. I' ve Just bought THe Beastie Boys Anthology, Which I'm listening to right now, It seems good. The other CD's I've bought recently are Once More With a Feeling by Placebo, which is totally addictive, I can't stop listening to it, Ian brown the greatest and nine inch nails the downward spiral. My friend from schools borrowed me The Cribs and THe Strokes CD's, which I'll copy in amintute, and my other mate made me a copy of Marilyn Mansons Greatest hits, so I best go get listening!
