Hey everyone
We had a thread like this in 2001 or 2002 or something, and I remember it being very interresting to see everyone's musical taste back then. So I thought it might be a fun idea to see what our musical taste is like now
I'll start this off! (some old board members might recognize some of the names as familiar, that is, if they remember the old thread )
#5: Marina and the Diamonds - The Family Jewels
I checked out the full record after seeing the video for the song "Hollywood". Lots of the songs are quite poppy, and that's normally not really the genre I'd go for, but this one surprised me.
#4: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack: The Shawshank Redemption, music by Thomas Newman
I just love Thomas Newman's work, and this soundtrack album is really haunting with its piano and strings. The opera track and 1930/1950 songs add perfectly to Thomas's songs. This is an album which I can put on and loop from start to finish over and over again, especially during UO sessions.
#3: Muse - Origin of Symmetry
Old album, but I still regulary put this one up. If I had to choose between Muse albums, it would be a hard choice between this one and Black Holes and Revelations. I picked this one though because I liked to play BH&R a lot during EVE online sessions and OoS during UO sessions. As you might know, I don't play EVE anymore
#2: 30 Seconds To Mars - A Beautiful Lie
I liked the song "From Yesterday", so I gave the whole album a listen and was immediately sold. An amazing vocal range and an even more amazing drummer! And extra kuddos for covering Björk
#1: Nirvana - Nevermind
I still play this one one every single day while on my way home from work. Even though Kurt said this was their worst album, I can't help but love the lyrics, the rawness and the - sometimes insane - drum skills on display by Dave Grohl. I just have to sing along to every single song... sorry Kurt
