Anyone? I wish judgement.

[Fishboy]

Nobody loves you and you will die old in a nursing home. You drive slower than you should and cry yourself to sleep most nights. You smoke a bit too much weed than you should, and this is detrimental to your relationships. You have been called weird in a good way by some.

[DarkAvenger]

Nobody loves you and you're going to die alone and cold. You drive a beat up car from the 80's and wear cheap, mostly second hand shirts, your jeans may be too tight. You are usually a nice person but can be a bit of a douche at times.

Burn.

That... Was... Entirely exact... Except I don't drive the crappy car anymore (1988 Oldsmobile, I think a Delta).

[Koremora]

I like how all of these have an arbitrary version of "you're going to die alone" or "you cry yourself to sleep at night".

[Swordfish]

You were raised by a dad who grew up in middle-class white America, that never quite fit in. Having picked up his love for the music he played for you when you were young (Zappa, King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd... Django Reinhardt, possibly?), you were also in a similar position as him, and over time you went your own way, both in terms of both music and mindset.

Not too bad, but I was raised by a single mom.  Hahaha.

[michaelicious]

Moms can't listen to Zappa?

[Swordfish]

I can't listen to Zappa without a middle-aged guy introducing him to me?

It is called the Sweeping Generalizations thread after all.

You are my Ladyfriend? Throw in iron maiden and some other classic metal and your tastes would be identical.

[Barmymoo]

Here is a list of the songs my MP3 player informs me are my Most Popular. Bear in mind that my MP3 player frequently plays entire albums, in order, whilst allegedly on the Random Track setting.

Jolene - Dolly Parton
If I Could Turn Back Time - Cher
Little Green - Joni Mitchell
Blue - Joni Mitchell
The Animals Were Gone - Damien Rice
Believe - Cher
Rootless Tree - Damien Rice
Awkward Annie - Kate Rusby
Just Like Jesse James - Cher
Who Knows Where the Time Goes - Sandy Denny

I wouldn't say those were my favourite songs though.

[the_pied_piper]

You are going to marry Emilio in a huge, lavish wedding ceremony after which he will swear never to listen to obscure music ever again and will in fact listen to anything you tell him to. He will also take up acoustic guitar and write songs about how much he loves you and how much you mean to him so that you will never forget.

[sorry, Emilio]

[Swordfish]

You are my Ladyfriend? Throw in iron maiden and some other classic metal and your tastes would be identical.

7. Kaiser Chiefs
8. Coldplay
9. Toad the Wet Sprocket
10. Keane

[the_pied_piper]

You have no interest in music at all and only listen to what is either played on the radio or deemed cool by pitchfork/nme. You are also the kind of person who goes to gigs and talks all the way through not bothering to pay attention to the bands because you don't care about them and a gig is just a social gathering anyway.

[Scrambled Egg Machine]

1.Rammstein
2.Dragonforce
3. The Ink Spots
4. System of a Down
5. Flobots
6. Drowning Pool
7. My Chemical Romance
8. Mindless Self Indulgence
9. Kaiser's Orchestra
10. Black Sabbath

Here comes the shitstorm...

[the_pied_piper]

You do not understand what it means to sing in tune and would rather that a vocalist screeched out their words. Also, you do not like music with guitars that cannot be played at insane speeds believing those who create riffs and melodies to be far inferior. Furthermore, you have painted your room black in a show of rebellion and go about claiming that cutting yourself is cool although you are too scared to do it.

[the_pied_piper]

So um, I wanna play!

Nina Simone
!!!
Battles
Micheal Franti
John Lee Hooker
 The Beatles
 Modest Mouse
 Musicals(hairspray, miss saigon, evita!, RENT, grease, My Fair Lady, Spring's awakenining, etc)
 Radiohead
Beach Boys
Gym class Heroes
 Sublime
Benny Benassi
 Of Montreal
 Queen
 Mika
 Cat Power
 Billie Holiday
 Beck

I um, yeah.

You think that you are too cool for the mainstream and so go looking for something that will make you stand out instead. You only pretend to like The Beatles and The Beach Boys to make it seem like you have some musical knowledge and instead listen to mainly tuneless musicals. In the modern era you listen to music that is deemed unsanitary by others [Cat Power, Gym Class Heroes, benny Benassi] and are big on queer power.

[Fishboy]

Judge not lest ye be judged.

Rachmaninov.
Prokofiev.

J. Strauss.
Leonard Cohen.
Bach (mostly his solo works).

[the_pied_piper]

You don't understand why people use vocals in music as you think they are a waste of time. If you had your way, everybody would communicate through musical scales. You think that you have a varied musical taste but actually only listen to music in which the artists don't have the talent to come up with good song endings and so let them go on forever. You enjoy walking around in elizabethan costume and wear a powdered wig at all times while declaring 'bah' on any arguments which fail to resemble your own.

[Mr. Skawronska]

All right, I'll play, for no other reason than sheer morbid entertainment.

1) Genesis
2) Phil Collins
3) Peter Gabriel
4) Absurd Minds
5) Metallica
6) Rush
7) Golden Earring
8) Old Van Halen (1984 and before)
9) Boston Pops Orchestra doing John Williams, John Philip Sousa, Robert Wagner, and Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture
10) Gregorian Chants
11) Brian Eno
12) The Doors
13) Bryan Adams
14) Frank Klepacki, C&C Soundtrack
15) Soundtrack, Phantom of the Opera
16) Soundtrack/Album, Chess

Whaddya make of THEM apples, sparky?

[the_pied_piper]

You make a point of listening to pretentious music to try and make your wankery seem ironic. You possess a large mullet which you fashion into a powdered wig on occasion and the rest of the time swing around as you headbang pathetically. Additionally, you possess little to no musical intellect as you listen only to famous bands and their derivatives and are constantly snotty and uptight around all people, family included.

[Weaselon]

Oooh. Can I play?

3. Duffy  // Amy Winehouse // Dido // Shakira // Katy Perry // The Killers * // Ok Go // One Republic *

You are a hippie white guy with a huge afro. You have musical taste when it suits you but generally decide to ignore it and end up listening to mostly jarring noise.

You understand the need for varied musical taste yet do not quite understand the intricacies never veering from the mainstream. You are always the person who is wrong suited for a certain party; dancing at dark, moody venues and sitting in the corner looking dejected at a club. You want to grow a mullet but are too concerned with other people's images of you and so are often happy on the outside but miserable within.

[KickThatBathProf]

Do you want a hug, pied piper?  It's okay to feel things again!

In case you didn't read back in the thread, hugs are in fact my personal currency so yes, i wouldn't mind.

[the_pied_piper]

Well, seeing as you asked.

You see little need to bring instruments into music, instead relying on computers for the majority of your preference. When you do listen to bands it has to be someone who is seen as progressive and a leader as this is how you feel about yourself being excessively vain. You occasionally throw in some more unsanitary music to try to deflate your ego a little but always fail as you once again rise to airhead #1.

[Ballard]

Hey it has come to my understanding that several people have gotten offended at your generalizations regarding their taste. I believe that a bunch of folks asked/implied that you should lay off this thread for a while or, at the very least, tone it down. After all, the point of the thread is to make people laugh and not legitimately hurt their feelings, right?

But having read some of your replies I see what the problem is here. You're just not that funny, but you post with the air of someone who thinks they are fucking hilarious. Maybe you should re-evaluate how likely you are to make people laugh, realize that posting ten of these in a row is perhaps a little more than is necessary, and focus on quality over quantity. I guarantee you it'll be valuable in the long run.

You actually think the Dandy Warhols are a good band.

[pwhodges]

From my last week's listening:

Beat Furrer
Rebecca Saunders
Harrison Birtwistle
Earle Brown
Earnest Cox
Konrad Boehmer
Salvatore Sciarrino
George Antheil
Richard Wagner
Maurice Durufle

Before you can judge me, you must answer the following questions:

Which of those wrote a piece for accordion, piano, choir (wordless) and orchestra?
Which of those used to be followed by the secret service when visiting the UK?
Which of those is an indie rock group?

[valley_parade]

Paul, I can't even generalize that. If anyone else posted that, I would have to say "you're likely cloned from Paul Hodges".

Also, I'm guessing Beat Furrer is the band.

[benji]

I'm going to guess Boehmer was followed around by the Secret Service. He was an East German Marxist, right?

PS. I cheated and Googled it. Rebbecca Saunders wrote a piece for Accordion, Piano, Choir, and Orchestra.

Oh and Beat Furrer isn't several people. He's just Swiss (I think).

PPS. After some more cheating, I've hit on what should have been painfully obvious. Earnest Cox is the name of an Indie Rock band.

This was fun. I still can't make any generalizations about Paul's taste in music though, besides "you know a lot more about music then most of the rest of us."

[pwhodges]

Isn't Google wonderful? 

I'm going to guess Boehmer was followed around by the Secret Service. He was an East German Marxist, right?

From West  Berlin, I think.  But he lives in Holland now, because he hates Germany.  He is also one of the funniest people I know (through my son playing his music) - you should just hear  him on the secret services!  The notes to one of the pieces my son plays on a record of his music describe one of the sounds on the tape of effects that go with it as "pissing on the floor behind a pillar in St Peter's, Rome at night".  Konrad Boehmer with my son at his wedding.

Beat Furrer isn't several people. He's just Swiss (I think).

Swiss birth, Austrian nationality.

Here's some Earnest Cox which I uploaded when I first came here.  I wouldn't say it's particularly notable, though.  I think they've pretty much stopped playing, preferring to give their time to their motorcycle training business.

Interesting interpretation, but not very accurate. I suspect that part of the reason you guessed so poorly is that you were assuming I'm male. (Which is curious in and of itself - does that mean my musical taste clocks as male or is this just the 'no girls on the internet'/'assume male unless otherwise indicated' bias?) Also: Mullets are abomination that should not have been allowed to continue.

[Gemmwah]

Protip: Mullets are not just for men.

[Ballard]

You actually think the Dandy Warhols are a good band.

Well played.

[Scandanavian War Machine]

Protip: Mullets are not just for men.

i have seen some hot lady-mullets in my day.


i have also seem some terrifying and trashy ones but i try not to think about them.

[Zingoleb]

Most of my most played is like...Marilyn Manson, due ot my short burst of obsession with him. I have no shame (but a little guilt).

However, if my library didn't routinely crash every year or so, Pink Floyd, Beatles, and Bob Dylan would be dominating the top played.

(I don't have last.fm, no)

So in that spirit, I'll just rattle off a few things:

Things I used to listen to way too much:

Beatles
Queen
Led Zeppelin
Heart
Moody Blues
Pink Floyd
Jethro Tull
Melanie
Nickelback (I have no shame, only guilt)
Paul Simon
Emerson, Lake and Palmer
The Who

Things I have recently (past year or so) ended up listening to far too much of:

Ministry
Pearl Jam
White/Rob Zombie
Apocalyptica
The Flaming Lips
Metallica
Black Sabbath
Marilyn Manson
Traffic
The Books
Rush
Guns 'n' Roses

Recently been listening to a lot of:

Franz Ferdinand
Muse
Billy Joe Shaver
Iron & Wine
Daft Punk
You Say Party! We Say Die!
Cat Stevens
Mogwai
Explosions in the Sky
Grizzly Bear


So, er, try to judge me.

You can sort of see the phases I went through. It's amusing...to me, anyways.

Edit: Also put Bob Dylan into all of those categories, and Tom Waits onto the last one.
