What kind of music do y'all like to listen to?

interesting that so many of us like metal! i thought it would only be me. your reason is probably part of why, repressed anger/feelings.

I know I function with a (apparently) surprising background level of rage and as one of my best friends once said, "metal is the sandpaper that smoothes out my rough edges \m/ "

There's actually studies showing that people who listen to metal are happier on average, probably because of it helping release repressed emotions.

There's a lot more men that make it in the music industry than women, maybe that's why its so common for most of people's favorite artists to be men. I find it sad that women can't really succeed without having romance or sexuality as their main theme. Of course there's nothing wrong with these topics in themselves, but it seems to be the standard for female artists.

The ME suicide theme makes me emotional 😭 just remembered why i was so obsessed with that game.

If you can sing the The Siren I am so jealous! you must be so talented. And being able to play piano, I am jealous. Meadows of Heaven sounds so celtic/irish, I love those types of songs by nightwish. Last of the wilds and Elan have a similar sound. Another band I know like that is Eluvetie, they're less opera and more celtic ifyou enjoy that type of thing.

I love that song by Type O Negative! havent listened to that in years. What a perfect vibe for this season you've inspired me to listen to them again! They had another song I liked from that album.

Your music taste is very similar to my ex actually, he introduced me to nightwish and liked things like two steps from hell. He also introduced me to powermetal bands like Powerwolf, Avantasia and Beast In Black (i didnt like the album covers of that band though). We both loved Sonata Arctica, you might like that band. You also might like Sirenia and Dream Threater :)

I love the ME themes, and I agree that they make me emotional too. I loved that game. A Future for the Krogan is another favorite of mine, so hopeful! Pretty much all of those game's themes are in my playlist, but the suicide mission theme is above and beyond with the orchestra.

I've been singing since I was a kid, my family thought I would end up in the industry but I left once I got a taste of what it was really like ..... so I decided to do something else with my life. But I was a growler before it was much of a thing, and I was one of the only women in the scene here so I became a target for epic levels of scrotery. Probably why I like Floor so much, she sings like I do. But I prefer playing my instruments.

I love celtic sounds in music. My mother's family is all Celts, I grew up with gaelic lullabies from her side and just love hearing that in music. Probably one of the reasons I like Nightwish so much, especially the stuff they produced once Troy became a full member of the band. Have you listened to their newest album yet? Shoemaker made me cry!

I love the drab four even though they get weird at times. Peter Steele is what I am looking for in a man, physically. As a person, not so much, but he at least liked women and respected them which is more than I can say for the majority of men I've known.

I love pretty much all the bands that you've mentioned. Music is a big part of my life still, even though I don't do much more than compose and play with family/friends anymore. If you don't already know them you'd probably love Kamelot - Ghost Opera. He's got an insane voice too, and it's very theatrical.

The cheesiness is absolutely part of the charm. It's just utter shred madness and fun as hell to play, which is why I love it. Great for workouts too! I take my friends along to metal concerts, we're all absolutely unapproachable and all but the worst of the scrotes tend to give us a wide berth.

The tin can effect you mention is hit or miss for me. Sometimes it sounds great, sometimes it's really irritating it just depends. I know all that you mentioned, love Ensiferum - In My Sword I Trust because well, the lyrics.
