Very few things on the internet make me actually laugh, but that did.

Okay here are the last ten bands I've listened to now judge me you jerks.

Shellac
Silkworm
The Jesus Lizard
Bedhead
The Shins
The Afghan Whigs
The Flaming Lips
Lungfish
Bitch Magnet
Rapeman

You listen to generally good bands that are popular with the more stylish forumites in the music board, the influence of which may be a certain variable affecting this selection. However, you also listen to the Shins, which leads me to believe that you cannot select a good tie to save your life. Additionally, you fabricated a band by the name of 'Rapeman,' which I simultaneously refuse to believe exists and want with all my heart to listen to.

Andrew Bird
Final Fantasy
Metric
Feist
Shearwater
Rilo Kiley
of Montreal
Spoon
Stars
That Wind Waker boy
Johnny C's band

The generalization is that I listen to music made only by sexy and attractive people

MrSteevo · « **Reply #255 on:** 06 Feb 2009, 00:13 »

I agree, Owen Pallett may be the only man I've ever been slightly attracted to. Stars on the other hand... they're great, but they're an odd bunch.

Fishboy · « **Reply #256 on:** 06 Feb 2009, 02:21 »

Do me, if you please.

Of late, mostly album wise:
Rachmaninov, Piano concerto number three., as performed by Vladmir Ashkenazy.
The Velvet Underground, the Velvet Underground & Nico.
Daft Punk, various songs.
Jefferson Airplane, surrealistic pillow era music.
My Bloody Valentine, Loveless.
Arvo Part (forgive the mis-spelling), Orient and Occident.
Mozart, Requiem, by the Vienna philharmonic.
The lucky star theme song, Take It! Sailor uniform, (the truth will set you free.)
R. Strauss, Alpine Symphony, as performed by the Berlin Philharmonic.
Radiohead, Kid A.
Godspeed you! Black emperor, Slow Riot for Zero Kaneda.
Some of Tchaikovsky's piano works.
All of Hendrix's studio work.
Prokiev's Prokofiev Sonata in C major.
Finally a lot of Joy Division, probably too much.

That is what is on my common rotation at the moment.

You are the kind of person who would listen to Avril Lavigne a lot, despite not enjoying her music at all, just to throw people off. You enjoy doing things just to be a dick sometimes, because in your mind, someone's gonna have to do it eventually, so it might as well be you. You are not necessarily a dick because of this, you just have dick-like tendencies. dick

This has nothing to do with my musical taste.

Also, I like Avril Lavigne.

You intentionally try to have contradictory music taste, while failing to fall on the extreme of either side. This is done to try and be seen as "open-minded", because you fear other people's judgments subconsciously.

Correct Musical Taste™

telling someone whether or not they listen to good music is not the same thing as associating them with a stereotype! we already have an entire music forum for judgments.

Here's my top 12 from the last 12 months:

1. Regina Spektor – Samson
2. Bif Naked – Lucky
3. Rilo Kiley – Does He Love You?
3. Rilo Kiley – The Absence of God
5. Rasputina – Sign of the Zodiac
5. Sarah McLachlan – Do What You Have to Do
7. Ellen Wondra – The Prom Song (this is actually a song by a non-famous but still amazing friend of mine)
8. Rasputina – AntiqueHighHeelRedDollShoes
8. The Sundays – Wild Horses
8. Regina Spektor – Poor Little Rich Boy
8. Rilo Kiley – Portions for Foxes
8. Bif Naked – Moment of Weakness

You want more than anything to play in an all girl band. You wish you had been old enough to go to a Lilith Fair when they were still running. You might enjoy kissing girls, or think you would if you have not tried it yet. You sometimes fantasize about getting a crew cut just to freak people out, but always decide against it.

you listen to music in order to put yourself into a good mood. when you are not listening to music, you'll still have a song or a few songs in your head for a large part of the day and may even start singing along without realizing it. you probably spend a lot of time daydreaming and staring off into space but usually it's about good stuff because you're a pretty optimistic person. you always smile at strangers when you make eye contact with them. you probably like romantic comedies, but only clever ones.

John! That is AWESOME. So few marks on the picture, and soooo creeepppyyyyy.

Tommy! I was a little disappointed you didn't comment on what I thought was a perfect "burn" stereotype of you. I almost wrote "oh snap" after it or maybe "oooooohh buuuuurrrn". Also (unrelatedly) since you posted that instead of taking it to PM, I will assume you were kidding too.

Last! I thought it would be fun to stereotype myself based on my last three months of last.fm listening, which is:

1   Okkervil River 78
2    Wolf Parade 27
3    Hüsker Dü 23
4    Jeffrey Lewis 20
5    Page France 19
6    David Bowie 18
7    Liars 12
8    Pernice Brothers   11
9    Kimya Dawson 9
10    Cass County Uglies 8 (local country punk band, Lucero style)
11    Townes Van Zandt 7
11    Kris Kristofferson   7
11    Johnny Cash 7
14    Jimmie Rodgers 6
14    Merle Haggard

CLEARLY I am a bumpkin who likes drinking cheap beer and whiskey in small town bars with nearly empty jukeboxes and also I can drive a stick shift but whatever, it's not even a thing. I don't care for the finer things in life. That is from the bottom half of the list. The top half of the list indicates that I am a person who gets fixated easily on one thing and can never ever stop being fixated on that thing and maybe I should diversify my music more because that is a lot of Okkervil River.

But here, there's obviously more but this is essentially the thesis of the song

well moving swiftly on, I didn't know anyone listened to Green day, then again i started listening to music properly at age 17 so I may have a slight disadvantage that I was out of the premier age group for them.
