i listen to pulsradio as much as i can. s' at www.pulsradio.com. and if you cant read french, just click on the english flag next to "PULS RADIO" and a bunch of other french stuff. otherwise go to 'encounter' and select your connection and your media player. i use wmp which is puls-64.aspx. (not that anyone cares.)
Very off-topic :lol:, but anyway, I usually listen to jazz from ClearChannel Music. A station I regularly listen to is Dayton's Smooth Jazz. Pretty good for the most part (if you are a jazz freak like me :wink:).

ABSOLUTELY LOVE Classic Rock, and therefore, find myself listening to Q107 whereEVER I am.
It`s out or Toronto, but can be picked up on satellite T.V., or over the internet. It`s usually hosted by Classic Rock guitarist, Kim Mitchell.

I listen to Christian music only. I listen to mostly hard rock/pop punk.

cowthink 'Dude, why are you staring at me.'
I listen to a bit of everything, but I have a lot of the contemporary Christian music as well...do you listen to Kutless, Pillar or Family Force 5 at all??
The developer formerly known as ZGitRDun8705
I enjoy Christian music as well but for me, I enjoy the heavier genre variety. Groups that get a lot of play on my iPod are: Beloved, Living Sacrifice, P.O.D., Project 86, Demon Hunter, Dead Poetic, Haste the Day, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster. Aw yeah.\m/
I listen to Pillar. Kutless is too soft and FF5 is too hip-hoppy. I listen to bands like Skillet, Dead Poetic, Anberlin, Fireflight, etc.

cowthink 'Dude, why are you staring at me.'
Good mix....just don't say you like Blindside lol...I don't mind most of the heavier stuff but i can't stand Blindside, they played at ALIVE 2 yrs ago on the main stage and after 2 songs the crowd went from around 10,000 to 1,000

I have never heard them, but if they are too much on the screamo side I probably wouldn't like it.

well NSF files are better but oh well
is ok. The problem with most Christian bands is that they are a Christian band because they aren't good enough to make it on the so-called secular circuit. I actually have a Christian band and we struggle with that stereotype ALL the time.
But as for music I like, anything with good guitar and singing is cool.
Clapton, Creed, Chanticleer, McFerrin, Hedges, Dave Matthews, U2, etc.

It is not your audience's responsibility to puzzle out what you intended to say; it is your responsibility to express yourself so clearly that no one with a modicum of intelligence and good will could possibly mistake your meaning.
...that said stereotype exists in the first place.
This stereotype is not only dead wrong, but it doesn't even make logical sense:
1) It implies that a band of unbelievers could go out into the broader music marketplace, have little or no success, and decide one day "Hey guys, I know how we can make a successful living in the music biz, despite our limited talent - Let's just make Christian music from now on, because it's not as demanding on our meager talents as mainstream music is"
This won't and couldn't happen. No group of unbeleiving folk could create Christian music and have any success in the Christian genre, because audiences would see thru their facade fairly quickly.
2) That said, only an artist/group who is (are) Christian(s) would bother creating Christian music in the first place, not a bunch of unbeleivers.
3) If such an entity decided - despite their faith - that they wanted to "go mainstream" with their music, they are perfectly able to do so. U2 would be a good example of this. They have had huge success in the mainstream world, and yet 3/4 of them are believers. No one questions THEIR musical 'chops' and success, yet they are essentially a Christian band who has chosen to put their music into the secualr realm instead of the sacred.
4) Factually, Christian music is - if anything - MORE demanding than is secular music, and here's why:
With secular music, you can write songs on any topic, from any point of view, and if there's a market for it, it'll sell
With Christian music, you are constrained to write lyrics that glorify Christ and the things of God, or else it doesn't fit within the constraints of the genre (and therefore it won't sell in the Christian marketplace because there's no demand for it). Also, Christian artists must deal with the stereotype we are talking about, which secular bands don't have to cope with.
5) There are any number of Christian artists whose musical talents and skills, and also showmanship, I would put up against ANYone in the secular music pantheon:
Third Day, MercyMe, Casting Crowns, Newsboys, Steven Curtis Chapman, just to name a few.
All of these - even despite being "Christian" artists - have seen their Christian tunes hit varying levels of success and airplay in the secular market.
The Moral of the story?:
You can't kill a stereotype, but you certainly can be victorious over it by using the talents God gave you to

You can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter".
....check it out:
Audio A is currently touring with Mercy Me. Just thought you'd like to know.
As for me, it's Casting Crowns (C-squared), Mercy Me (M-squared), Third Day (3-D), Salvador, The Katinas, Mutemath, Marcos Witt (Mexican Christian artist whose stuff is mainly in Spanish), PK7, and Maranantha Promise Band (those last 2 are the bands who've produced all the music for Promisekeepers), mostly.
Others' stuff that I like, but don't really have any of in my collection (aside from the few odd tunes on a compilation album or two), are:
Lincoln Brewster, Chris Tomlin, Jeremy Camp, Newsboys, and various others...

...My bad on the Audio A thing, they're touring until April 30 or something like that. I saw them in their first show of their farewell tour at the ALIVE music festival last summer.
Newsboys, Jeremy Camp and Chris Tomlin are good too, i don't have much by them though

I listen mainly to progressive metal like Dream Theater, Threshold, & Porcupine Tree. I do love a good dose of Classic Rock as well. Groups like Zep, VH, Kansas, Queen, Scorps, and the like.

Here's a taste of what I mean with "Mexican music". It's literally Mexican, you will not hear this genre of music made in other countries. Mariachi is also very Mexican. La cucaracha is a good example, but that song is quite a few decades old (Like 50+ years old).

I cant see the page from school, but "Mexican music" is not a type of music
like what you could mean is music that is from Mexico, but its not Mexican music. Its like if I were to say I like Paul McCartney music. I would not say I listen to "British" music i would say i listen to Rock. "Mariachi" is also very Mexican" lol becuase that is music from there like
i listen to Rap i dont say i listen to American Music i say i listen to Rap. I could but no many people do that. You will not hear this genre of music made in other countries." yea but it has its own distinct name, music is usually not classified by country? That is just ignorant.

Maybe what I should have said is "I listen to Norteño music." Although there are certain music that you could classify by country, and not others. For example Rap, Rock, Pop, would not be "Mexican", it will simply be Spanish Rap or Chinese Rock. But what is the genre name of the "typical" Chinese music? Sure it has one, but if someone says that they listen to that particular genre, you would have no idea of the type of music that it is. But if they say they listen to Chinese, then you would understand. Norteño music is 100% Mexican, therefore it's Mexican music. Mariachi music is probably 95% Mexican, so I would not call it true Mexican music. Rancheras are also 100% Mexican. So once again, instead of me saying "I listen to Rancheras and Norteñas", I simply say "I listen to Mexican music", oh, and spanish rock and spanish pop.

...has a new album due out 8/28 - "The Altar And The Door".
Being in radio as I am, I have an advance copy of it, and all I can say is, it's superb. Can't wait till folks start bein' able to get their hands on it.
EDIT:
Now the same can be said for MercyMe and their new album
"All That Is Within Me" (released 10 days ago)
My preview copy of the disc has 6 songs on it, and if the remainder of the tunes on the full album are as good as *these* 6, they have a monster hit on their hands!!...
"I don't hate cats...as long as they stay on the freeway, where they belong."
- Brad Stine
I am waiting for those also. Casting Crowns and MercyMe are a couple of my favourites.
Trance/Techo- Armin van Buuren's cool
I've heard groups/people like Eric Rolo, Kaki King, Calfornia Guitair trio, SleepThief. I thought they were cool.
Tangerine Dreams
Scorpions- at least for a little bit
Battle for evermore/Stariway to Heaven a little of Led Zepplin
Journey at least when Teve Perry was singing
Alan Parsons Project- Turn of a Friendly Card, Tales of Mystery and Imagination (second realease with the guitars/drums). I've got Stereotomy on vinyl- now to get it into my computer
A gob of other stuff- Linkin Park's Numb, Built this City on Rock and Roll by Jefferson Starship
Asia
Styx
Genesis/Phil Collins
Can't forget the best of all- Boston- Walk on Album and the Third Stage Album.
Evanescence- not the new album- Fallen is okay.

Scopions aren't bad.
ZEPPELIN RULES! Speaking of which, anyone going to the concert by chance?
Journet also rules.
Alan Parsons Project rox my sox. (I love Tales of Mystery and Imagination :D)
Asia's alright.
Styx are too much for me.
Genesis it great, specially Phil Collins.
BOSTON! I went to Rock the Park in London, Ontario this summer, and Boston was s'posed to play there before they made the final list, but then there was Brad Delp's incident.
Chicago? Although I like Boston more.

The soundtrack of the game Boom Boom Rocket: http://www.emusic.com/album/Ian-Livingstone-Boom-Boom-Rocket-MP3-Downloa...
My favorite music, right now, is opera metal, or symphonic metal, specifically Nightwish, but since they fired their vocalist and went downhill (which actually began with "Once", their last album with Tarja) I've been looking into similar bands. Through Wikipedia and various forums I found Within Temptation; later, through the Rock Band Network, I discovered Amberian Dawn. (All links go to their titled Wikipedia pages.)
But I was raised on classic rock, so I love stuff like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Boston, Journey, The Eagles, Steve Miller Band, The Moody Blues, etc., etc. I also like a good selection of popular music, from pop to country to rock to metal to hip-hop (not so much gangsta rap) and appreciate, but seldom listen to jazz and classical. I even like an album that gets classed as J-pop, though I wouldn't call it such: "Fiction" by Yuki Kajiura (as well as her work on the .hack//SIGN anime).
Most of what I listen to day to day though, is my custom mixes. I take the best songs from the radio that my wife and her brother tell me should "go/be on the next mix", listen to them, and if they sound good, I put 'em in a temp folder. Once I get 20 I mix 'em up using criteria I can't really explain, it just comes to me, and I make a mix, listen to it for a few weeks, drop what doesn't fit, or mix it around. When I'm happy with it, I call it finalized, and start working on the next mix. I don't publish these for legal reasons, but my wife and I listen to them in the car. They're mostly rock, hard rock, pop rock, country, and hip-hop, with a strong focus on rock.
Also, my wife and I play Rock Band (2), and have 562 songs for it currently. A lot of them we didn't pick, but if you look at the manifest (Google Docs/Spreadsheet link) you can see to the right, the column that says where we got it. RB1 and RB2 means it came from the numbered Rock Band releases; COUNTRY came from the Country pack, and LEGO came from the Lego game. Anything that says DLC we picked and paid $2 for, with little exception. So I'd say anything we paid $2 for, safe bet we like it. (The DISTURBED two came with Disturbed's last album and were free, and AC/DC came on the AC/DC pack, but we stand by all of those choices.) And yes, I've sang nearly all of them... including "Any Man of Mine" by Shania Twain, "Gay Bar" by Electric Six, and "Ghostbusters" by Ray Parker, Jr. (For some reason the vocalist gets heat for playing them, but nobody else does.)
Dimmu Borgir, Lacuna Coil, and Leave's Eyes.
Oh also look into an album called Zero Order Phase by Jeff Loomis. it is an all instrumental album with no lyrics. Jeff Loomis is part of a band called Nevermore.
AYA HIRANO~!
