Music Preferences

A ton amount of electronic music - techno, house, big beat, trip hop, downtempo, Goa trance, industrial, and more. No Eurodance or pop country (i.e. Hank Williams and Johnny Cash are good, Garth Brooks and Taylor Swift are not).

Also; rock (No hair bands, thanks) classic rock, new wave, alternative, jazz, rockabilly, blues, zydeco, ska, a little bit of early rap and hip hop (e.g. Arrested Development, Africa Bambaata, Beastie Boys), reggae, classical (particularly Holst, Wagner, and Beethoven), a little bit of classic vocal pop

Some of my current favorites are Aphex Twin, Björk, Orbital, Underworld, Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack, the Orb, Tycho, Bonobo, Trentmoller, Boards of Canada, Carl Craig, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, DJ Food, Juno Reactor, Kraftwerk, Brazilian Girls, the Beatles, Cream, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Talking Heads, the B-52's, the Clash, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, the Cure, Blue Oyster Cult, Sam Cooke, Louis Prima, Nine Inch Nails, Bauhaus, Smashing Pumpkins, the Cranberries, Taj Mahal, Traffic, and more than I can really list here.
