I'll answer them too to get everyone started.

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?

Mainly rock, heavy metal, gothic rock, pop rock, etc.

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?

Evanescence.

How has music affected your life?

Quite a lot. It's been able to lift my mood many times, and I can't imagine what life would be like without it. It's also brought me closer to certain people who now mean a great deal to me.

Have any musical talents?

People say I can sing, though I highly disagree. I'm learning guitar though. I have two guitars, one acoustic and one electric. I love both of them ^^.

What's your favourite song at the moment?

Hmm...I'd say either Waking The Demon or Say Goodnight, both by Bullet For My Valentine.

Thanks for reading.

[Darkwolf]

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?

Rock/Metal of different kinds lol

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?

most likely Trivium. They have a lot of good songs

How has music affected your life?

Keeps me sane, and alive

Have any musical talents?

Guitar Hero3 on expert, oh, and I might be able to sing. Does Guitar Hero count?

What's your favourite song at the moment?

Hell, by Disturbed

So...what shall we talk about, well for anyone intrested Disturbed is coming out with a new album soon, can't wait lol. We need more members. >.>

[Polk]

Hey! I might as well submit an application.

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?
I like anything from ska to metal, rock to jazz (of all types), noise, avant garde, world, some rap, hip hop if the mood suits me, blues, folk, acoustic, reggae, blah blah blah.
But if I have to pick ALL TIME favorites: I'd go with ska, avant garde/noise, and metal (stoner, black, drone, doom and thrash).
Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?
Gah. That's a difficult question. My all time favorite band is most likely The Aquabats. I went through a phase in I believe my sophomore year in high school where I only listened to The Return of/The Fury of The Aquabats. But here are what I consider my top 5 list:

1. The Aquabats
2. John Zorn
3. Mr. Bungle
4. Frank Zappa
5. Clutch/Reel Big Fish/Primus

Yeah, I cheated. I guess I need discipline? (Hint hint).

How has music affected your life?
I went through a bad break-up in my Junior year of High School. One of the things that helped me get through it was to make drone metal and play shitty basement shows.

Otherwise, I can't imagine life without music.

Have any musical talents?
I play guitar, bass, and saxophone, all pretty well. I can sort of play the trumpet, but not very well.

What's your favourite song at the moment?
Another hard one. The song I'm most obsessed with at the moment is Steve Reich's "Piano Phase". Amazing song, that's kind of a condensed version, just so you get the idea.

My favorite songs at the moment are probably:
Clutch- Cypress Grove
Frank Zappa- Titties and Beer
The Forces of Evil- Go to Hell

Okay. I'll stop now.

[Fishie]

Awesome idea.

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?
I don't have a particular favorite genre, I like things like industrial, rock, some rap, metal, and stuff.

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?
At the moment it would be Disturbed, Lacuna Coil, and Mandragora Scream. I'm counting down them days till the new Disturbed CD and Mandragora Scream has been on my top playlist for a while now. Oh, and we all know why I like Lacuna Coil. Cristina's my wife of course.

How has music affected your life?
**** yeah!!! [Sorry about my vulgarness. ><] Music just sets in the mood yo!! Musique iz lyfe.

Have any musical talents?
Haha. I can't sing that's for sure. I'd probably blow out my vocal or something if I were to attempt it. I'm pretty good at GH but I consider that a gaming skill if anything. Only instruments I've ever played was an acoustic guitar. Hopefully one day I'll pick it up again.

What's your favourite song at the moment?
Listening to nothing at the moment. But earlier, I would say Apocalyptica's "Ion".

[Lucid]

I guess I'm going to end up as the black sheep of the group.


What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?

Enka, Country, Rock, Metal, Instrumental, lots of other random stuff

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?

Ayako Fuji, Fuyumi Sakamoto, Jero, Rimi Natsukawa, Yoko Nagayama, Yoshi Ikuzo, Miyuki Nakajima, George Jones, Randy Travis, er...too many more to list... x_x

How has music affected your life?

It calms and inspires me. I think I would die without my music. XD
Also, it may sound a bit cheesy, but I love the teary and soulful sound of Enka music.
Sadly I don't really know anyone else who shows the same love I have for it...

Have any musical talents?

I can sing alright I guess. Guess I got some singing talent from my Dad.

What's your favourite song at the moment?

I have too many favorite songs, but right now I guess for now it's Hitomi Ayase - "Michinoku Banka"

[Silver]

I also want in.

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?

I tend to like a lot of rock bands, and a few metal bands, but a lot of my favourite music is either grunge, or has a grunge sound.

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?

My favourite song is an older one by Pearl Jam. The song 'Corduroy'. Bands-wise I have several dozen. But take a look for yourselves.

How has music affected your life?

I listen to it almost if not every day and have spent a good deal on my music as I prefer the original CDs to copies or downloaded music. I'm also an audiophile of sorts. Despite some nearly lossless formats taking up a good deal less room, I'm more fond of RAW itself. Even if it does takes up a good deal of the harddrive per CD. And because of that, I only have my faves stored like that and the rest are just higher quality MP3s.

Have any musical talents?

I can play a triangle if I have to. And I used to be able to play a harmonica, but it's been that long I don't know if I still can...
EDIT: After reading Froggie's post, yeah, I too am a lyricist. LITERATURE FORUM PEOPLES!

What's your favourite song at the moment?

[Anachlirium]

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?
--Yeesh, so many. To be honest, a lot of what I listen to gets chucked in the "Gothic" bin, even though much of it is very different. [Think - Victoriandustrial, Fantasy rock, Darkwave, goth Cabaret, gothic metal, medievil-theme, pagan rock, horror etc etc..]. But I'll give a lot of things ago. I'll try out any new Avant Garde band, and I'll listen to some metal [although gone vaguely off it at the moment, so much of it just feels so formulaic, like a pop song in disguise], a fair bit of neoclassical and classical [especially violin, and lately harpsichord], little bits of jazz, and a capella music of a lot of genres is a love.

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?
--It is and probably will be for a long time, Emilie Autumn. I got into her music when she released "Enchant", a fantasy rock album, back in 2002. She deals with a lot of different types of music, such as medievil, 40's inspired, industrial, victoriandustrial, other victorian-inspired, classical, neoclassical, Shakespearean-inspired and metal. She covers such a wide variety of musical styles I enjoy, and she tends to have very similar interests to me. Historically relevent music is somewhat hard to find now, especially applied in the way she does it. Along with this, she does delve into more personally deeply emotional things. It's not often she does, but she touches on somewhat 'taboo' subjects such as suicide, manic depression and rape in an evidently unusual and graceful way, which is something not many people tend to do. What I especially love is that she doesn't glamourise suicide and mental illness as so many other bands tend to do. In fact she's even made fun of the glamourisation of suicide in both the Victorian era and present times in her song "The Art of Suicide", which is completely and totally sarcastic, portraying how all too many people seem to see suicide.

The art of suicide, nightgowns and hair
Curls flying every which-way
The fate too pure to hide
Ridges of size
Meant to conceal lovers lies

Under the arches of moonlight and sky
Suddenly easy to contemplate why
Why
Why live a life
That's painted with pity and sadness and strife
Why dream a dream
That's tainted with trouble and less than it seems
Why bother bothering
Just for a poem or another sad song to sing
Why live a lie
Why live a lie

The art of suicide, gritty and clean
Conveys a theatrical scene
Alas, I've gone she cried
Veins displayed
Melodramatically laid

Under the arches of moonlight and sky
Suddenly easy to contemplate why
Why
Why live a life
That's painted with pity and sadness and strife
Why dream a dream
That's tainted with trouble and less than it seems
Why bother bothering
Just for a poem or another sad song to sing
Why live a lie
Why live a lie

Why live a life
That's painted with pity and sadness and strife
Why dream a dream
That's tainted with trouble and less than it seems
Why bother bothering
Just for a poem or another sad song to sing
Why live a lie
Why live a lie
Why live a lie
Why live a lie

Life is not like a gloomy Sunday
With a second ending where the people are disturbed
Well they should be disturbed
Because there's a story that ought to be heard

Life is not like a gloomy Sunday
With a second ending where the people are disturbed
Well they should be disturbed
Because there's a lesson that really ought to be learned

The world is full of poets
We don't need any more
The world is full of singers
We don't need any more
The world is full of lovers
We don't need any more

It somewhat amuses me. Her most famous song which seriously deals with suicide, "306" doesn't portray it in a beautiful way, but rather as an ugly escape.. Even the song makes you somewhat disgusted.

But that's off track. What I was originally going to say was that she touches on these subjects, and I find it oddly empowering how she does it in the way she does. I love the girl, purely.

Other singers and bands? I could write this much on each and every one of my favourites. But I'll settle for a baby list of my extreme current favourites - The Cruxshadows, Hannah Fury, Rasputina, ThouShaltNot, Voltaire.

How has music affected your life?
--It effects and enhances my mood every single day. There's not much else I can say here.

Have any musical talents?
--Not really. I can sing, but I have quite an unpleasant voice. I'm a lyricist, really.

What's your favourite song at the moment?
--I could never choose a favourite song. Currently.. Perhaps it's "Ever" by Emilie Autumn. Maybe. There's so many.

[Omega Weapon]

I totally agree with Fishie! Amazing idea!

What are/is your favourite type(s) of music?
Rock is by far my favorite genre but I like a little of almost everything except country, rap and jazz. I've tried, but I just do not like them.

Do you have a particular favourite artist/band? If so, who?
Godsmack! There is a lot of Alice in Chains in the sound of this killer band. Anyone who listens can hear the other inspirations in the music as well. Godsmack supplies the world with the much needed sounds of a heavy guitar/catchy vocal hooks/and a pounding drum/bass guitar. Nowdays people want to hear about how cool people are, Excellent music to listen, and perfect for the late night work-out session. Godsmack gives what the starving rock n roll/metal fan needs!

Evanescence! The element that really separates this band from the pack is Amy Lee's voice. Evanescence is a tremendously talented band, but one has to focus on lead singer Amy Lee. Lee is one of those rarest of musical performers, an artist whose voice transcends words and music to reach down and tap into your very soul, holding you mesmerized by the power - intense yet gracefully restrained - of her voice. A voice such as this does not lend itself to analysis, for it is, at its very core, a wholly spiritual device capable of the most emotional and soul-moving rapport with the human heart of the listener.

- Other great bands:

Metallica
Disturbed
Backstreet Boys
Alice In Chains

How has music affected your life?
It relieves me somewhat when I'm stressed and just makes me feel better really. Some music opens your mind about certain issues you hadn't previously thought of too and It seems to always express what I can't.

Have any musical talents?
Unfortunately no!

What's your favourite song at the moment?
Bring Me To Life by Evanescence.
