Refreshing Crack Music!

This is off topic, but I was wondering what type of music you alt.nerd.obssesive guys like. Your favorite bands, etc. I'm just curious as to what style of music you avid Futurama posting junkies like...

They Might Be Giants Great Big Sea Moxy Fr�vous modern orchestra (John Williams, Carter Burwel, Nobuo Uematsu {sic?}, Etc..) Glenn Miller Wired "Al" Just to name a few. Find a pattern and you win Total Enlightenment*

Pink Floyd ZZ Top Led Zep The Who Joplin AC/DC Skynard The Doors Grateful Dead

Plus a few others. Also, the neighbors are currently pissed at me for playing Iron Butterfly so damn loud that the drum solo killed their goldfish.

Cool.

Here's a list of my favorite bands from old to new:

First the old from the 60's, 70's, and 80's

The Beatles Rolling Stones The Animals Peter, Paul, and Mary Zagar and Evans Led Zepplin Santana Steppenwolf The Monkees The Zombies The Bee Gees Jefferson Airplane (and Starship) Fleetwood Mac The Clash Sex Pistols Golden Earring Pink Floyd Culture Club (yes I do like them!) The Eruthymics ABC J. Giles Band Stray Cats Pet Shop Boys Hall and Oates The Go-Go's Bananarama Madness The Thompson Twins Human League Tears for Fears Squeeze Genesis The Police The Cars

And now for the music of the 90's:

Nirvana Smashing Pumpkins Green Day The Offspring Live Bush Soundgarden Weezer (Even though they were a one-trick pony) Blink 182

Well, that's all the music I listen to, anyone else?

Hey man, I have to disagree with you there about Weezer, they're STILL are a fully functional band with lots of hits under their guitar straps. I saw them this summer at the Warped Tour and they were headlining. They're still full of juice.

I like a lot of old punk, jazz, and classic rock: Black Flag Devo Bags X Misfits Minutemen Coltrane Davis Machito Black Sabbath Led Zepplin Pink Floyd Public Enemy Mudhoney Local H etc... I really hate all this new puthetic hardcore pop rock like Korn and Limp Bizkit, etc. I cringe whenever I hear it.

Let's look at the track listing on my MP3 player right now...

"Let's Go Crazy," Prince "The Sun and the Rain," Madness "Atomic," Blondie "White Light, White Heat," Velvet Underground "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)," The Icicle Works "Thank You For Sending Me An Angel," Talking Heads "Last Chance on the Stairway," Duran Duran "Where Do The Boys Go?," Men Without Hats "She Sells Sanctuary," The Cult "Dear God," XTC "The Promise," When in Rome "Just Like Heaven," the Cure "Dreadlock Holiday," 10cc "Guns of Navarone," the Specials "Electric Avenue," Eddy Grant "One Step Beyond," Madness "Rock Lobster," B-52s "Black Man's Cry," Fela Kuti "Sinnerman," Nina Simone

So there you go. Blondie, Talking Heads, Madness, the Specials, Prince, Duran Duran -- those are my favorites.

Wow a Men Without Hats song that's not "Safty Dance".

Believe it or not, there are even more. "Living in China," "I Got The Message," and "Pop Goes The World" are all included on the Greatest Hats album.
