We all have that one band you like, even though it goes against the rest of your taste in music. What is it for you?

For me... I've got to say it's Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. I'm not a big folk fan at all, except for "Country Roads, Take me Home" but that's for sentimental reasons, but give me almost any of their songs and I love it...

So, what is it for you?

A local punk rock band called Stuck With Arthur, who I saw play and picked up their first CD about halfway through the term. Other than the occasional Green Day, I don't listen to punk music at all, and actually dislike it, compared to the stuff I usually listen to, which is generally in the experimental and electronic ranges.

Enya and Loreena McKennitt.

I usually listen to black metal and death metal, groups like Bathory, Rotting Christ, The Crown, and Dark Tranquillity. Occasionally I need to mellow out, and those are what I go with. Off topic: the oddball band that I like that nobody else I know seems to care for is Godflesh(at least where I live).

Eminem and the Beastie Boys.

ABBA. Needless to say, WTF?

I normally listen to anime soundtracks, death metal, weird chanting, and gothy music. How did ABBA sneak in there?

No clue.

I pick Kraftwerk. I find them pretty amazing, and yet haven't found anything particularly similar that I like.

Runrig - scottish folk/rock band. A guilty and nostalgic pleasure.

Hey Seed Dixie, very very strange, yet very funny

Supertramp

Supreme Beings of Leisure. For some reason, I really enjoy their self-titled album even though I usually can't stand stuff from that genre.

Man or ......Astroman? Love that weird surf vibe.

Mindless self indulgence, off the wall? weird? nothing like anything else? yep, and i like em for it.

Thanks to Bohemian Fey for introducing me to them.

*looks around*

t.A.T.u. And not just because of the former Hot Lesbian Chicks thing. I liked them even before I found the intarweb. Although that part is nice too.

I hate pop music. I have no idea why I like them, since everybody apparantly thinks they're screechy.

*runs away*

The Bloodhound Gang, they often mix rap with pop punk (which I hate) and yet I still love them to bits.

I also like some scally music, though I have no idea why. I don't "love" it, like I do with TBG, but I enjoy it on some level. I also find myself inexplicably drawn to "Tupac and Dr Dre - California Love," along with most of Run DMC's stuff. Oh, Gorillaz, too, way not what i normally listen to, but oddly addictive.

I don't really like them except for the chorus of "money, money, money" which I find to be intimidating and impressive for whatever reason. It's almost doomy.

Oh, and for those that enjoy some death metal, well, I may as well use this chance to pimp my band. Listen to Buried, it's our most recent song and has an addictive as hell riff to it, though the recording quality is shit. If you have myspace, feel free to add us.

Jeffrey Lewis - If You Shoot The Head You Kill The Ghoul. Fantastic song, great stylings.

And I forget the name of the Hobart group who did: "the love whose name must remain unspoken" (iirc) all about loving Daleks.

Robyn

For my fellow americans they probably remember her first album which was the first taste of the young female pop mixed with R&B album however it didn't take off and her susbsequent releases I've had to consistnely buy as imports. Her sound has matured a LOT in the intervening years (6-7 now) but I just enjoy the combination of songwriting and rythm she has. So yeah, I'd say that's my quirky like since I've had to pay 30 bucks plus shipping or more for each of the last three albums.

Erasure. My entire CD collection is made of of mostly metal, nu-metal and Rock. Hidding in the corner of the rack is a Pop by Erasure. I just love their sound.

Kid Loco.
I normally like Punk and Ska and hate electro, techno and what ever they´re all called. Kid Loco is some sort of electronic music and it´s damn cool.

Bands that I like that other people tend to hate or at least elicit a strong reaction:

Blood Hound Gang.
Reel Big Fish.
Mighty Mighty Bosstones.
