Things which will NEVER be found in my playlists:
(c)rap (makes me want to kill things)
New country (This stuff's shit, if I want to hear someone complaining about their F.O.R.D. and their wife, I'll watch springer)
Opera (sounds like shit, can't understand it, hurts my ears)
Jazz/blues (drives me insane and makes me want to kill things)
Hip-hop/varients thereof (see (c)rap)
A good deal of rock and metal (if it sounds like shit, i.e. hendrix, nirvana, etc.)
Indie (drum circle with another name. 'nuff said)
Drum 'n bass (drum circle with (c)rap influence. 'nuff said)
Bad techno (American crap)
Classical (puts me to sleep and shuts off my brain)
And anything with less than 180bpm base-line when I'm in the car, and we wonder why I average 10-25 over limit... lol... "More power to the engines!"
Excellent taste my man....excellent taste....
Top of my list has to be :-
Blind Guardian
Manowar
Metallica
Iced Earth
Apocalyptica
Type O Negative
Eagles
Rhapsody
Therion
Nightwish
Demons & Wizards
Dimmu Borgir
Assatru
And a whole load more....but I think that sets the basic tone....
