I mostly find myself listnening to heavy melodic metal

And right now my playlist has a lot of mixed stuff from Tristania, Anathema and Children of Bodom

Nightwish was good too before it got too repetitive

[faustgfx]

extreme ends and opposites to each others that i actually have would be eric clapton, front line assembly, meshuggah, autechre, future sound of london, sepultura, all saints, earth crisis, ministry, astral projection, haujobb, moonspell, stratovarious, dream theater, arena, yadda dadda...

I find my self listening to stuff like FSOL,
Aphex Twin, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, and the Doors........when i draw. Otherwise I listen
to a pretty weird mix.......usually my mp3 player on random.......

I think my two most favorite bands are, like, N'Sync and GWAR.

[faustgfx]

you got something against GWAR? :P

[A.Buttle]

Absolutely not! I love Gwar. Seen them twice, in fact. Both times for free.

I just thought the contrast of liking N'Sync and Gwar at the same time would be funny.

Heya..

Over the years I've noticed that music holds a place in the heart of an artist that seems to be much greater than that of someone who doesn't appreciate the arts. My question is, what do you listen to?

More importantly, what really inspires you? Often, they are two different things. I listen to hip-hop for the most part, but it's alternative music that really inspires my art. I love listening to Pearl Jam/Creed/Lifehouse/Hendrix/etc.. when I work, but I love to listen to Redman/D12/Em/Capone 'N Noreaga/etc.. when I'm out with friends. Two completely different styles.. but I love them both. Enlighten me people..

and the contrast between all saints and anal cun't isn't?

[dr . bang]

I listen to any thing that sounds good, but mostly from the 80, 70, and some 60.

[DRAGooN of deranged]

hmm.. blood axis, isengard, falkenbach, blackmore's night, absurd (please don't kill me, i only like the music, okay?), burzum (same), red hot chili peppers, offspring, guano apes, loreena mckennit, apoptygma berzerk, welle erdball, nena, rammstein, in extremo, subway to sally, schandmaul, corvus corax, ozzy osbourne, ultima thule, hagalaz runedance.. umm.. can't figure out any more at the moment ,)

I recently picked up some albums by Godspeed You Black Emperor, it's a montreal-based semi-classical band. I usually play them when I paint. I also listen to some Brian Eno, Mogwai, and Portishead.
