Who are you guys' favorite musicians?

Mine are Fracus & Darwin and DJ Noriken for hardcore. For drum and bass, it's Bachelors of Science, Mob Tactics, Krakota, and Reso.

My favourite band is Finntroll.

However, my favourite album is Twilight by Bôa, favourite song is Superman by Goldfinger, and favourite composer is Nobuo Uematsu.

And as my avatar might suggest, I also like Hatsune Miku, especially with Techno/Trance.

Rock/metal:

Tool, Disturbed

Trance:

Dave 202, Tiesto (when it isn't House)

Dubstep:

Bulletproof, Optimus Gryme, Ital Tek

Drum and Bass:

Black Sun Empire, State of Mind, The Upbeats, Concord Dawn, Bulletproof, NZ Shapeshifter, Seba, Logistics, Netsky and pretty much everything I find on the Liquicity channel. In fact I could talk for a century on this subject.

I based this on how many songs I have from each artist and how many more I would probably get from them in the future.

Right now the bands I listen to the most are:
Fall Out Boy
Paramore
Panic at the Disco
Gorillaz
The Fall of Troy
Motion City Soundtrack
Celldweller
He is Legend
From First to Last
Creature Feature
Dance, Gavin, Dance
Get Scared
Destroy the Runner
Pendulum
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

But really, I've almost exclusively been listening the Fall Out Boy lately. Their discography has basically been the soundtrack of my summer, I'm just on a kick that won't stop. Most likely my music interests will broaden again once the semester starts and I listen to music more often while I'm working. I hope that's the case cus I'm just embarrassing myself at this point.


True patrician music of course.

But in all seriousness my favorite artists, in no particular order, are
Radiohead
Megadeth
The Mars Volta
Kanye West
Kendrick Lamar
Death Grips
Tyler, the Creator
Earl Sweatshirt
Frank Ocean
Neutral Milk Hotel
Deafheaven
Madvillain
The Fall of Troy
At the Drive-In
Converge
Every Time I Die
Protest the Hero
The Velvet Underground
Swans
Nick Drake
The Strokes

Bring Me the Horizon
Pierce the Veil (I unironically like these two bands, so much for being patrician)

St. Vincent
Death From Above, 1979
Aphex Twin

@Crimson Locks
It's most likely because they became associated with Hot Topic and scene girls. Considering scene girls' most of the time listen to bands, because the singer is cute or anything based on looks. But honestly, Pierce the Veil is different compared to other scene bands. They seem to be getting better and ditching their scene influences, in favor of a more prog influenced post-hardcore. Meanwhile, a band such as Falling in Reverse went from mediocre to cringeworthy in just one album period. They also haven't had their fame get to them, unlike say Sleeping with Sirens (I liked their first two albums, but Feel is just a trainwreck, with songs being way more generic than usual and with Kellin's inflated ego, the lyrics took an awful nosedive.) They also seem like some nice people to hang around and chat with.

Most of the music I listen to is mostly electronic, though there are a few artists that aren't electronic:

Knife Party
Jack Beats
Porter Robinson (totally recommend checking out Worlds)
Hundred Waters
Daft Punk
Seven Lions
Dog Blood
KOAN Sound
Audeka
Alesia
Kill Paris
Haywyre
Area 11
Snails
Moody Good
The M Machine
deadmau5
Zedd
Tri Angles/SMILETRON
MitiS
Disclosure
Isqa
Imagine Dragons
Madeon
Above & Beyond
Justice
Astronaut
The xx
Au5
Fractal
Anamanaguchi
Galantis
Noisia
I Fight Dragons
ZHU
Ninth Parallel
Cash Cash
Barely Alive
Studio Killers
Virtual Riot
Pendulum

There were much more I could list, but I l decided to leave it at that.

Two mentions of Pendulum. Good to see that their old label is still remembered over their newer house-oriented one

I should add myself for a third mention of them for a favorite. Although I didn't count them earlier because I was trying to keep my list of favorites to the topmost.

Pendulum should get back together and continue what they used to do great.

This list is just off the top of my head, as there is probably too much to list anyway.
Black Sabbath
Ozzy Osbourne
Dio
Queen
Judas Priest
Led Zeppelin
Motorhead
Pink Floyd
AC/DC
Creedence Clearwater Revival
Nirvana
Foo Fighters
Gorillaz
Mastodon
White Zombie/Rob Zombie
The Beatles
Johnny Cash
Nine Inch Nails
Alice in Chains
Rage Against the Machine
Beck
Hideki Naganuma
Weezer
Blue Oyster Cult
Pink Floyd
Tool
Brocas Helm
They Might be Giants
Oingo Boingo
Weird Al Yankovic
The Aquabats
Ninja Sex Party/Starbomb
