ohboy watchout we're in special interest territory now. here's ten of the 'gateway drug' albums that started to get me really interested in music: also here's my Bandcamp fan page which contains some of the stuff i've been into more recently tl;dr: pretty much everything but primarily post-rock and post-metal, ambient/drone/downtempo, electronica, indie pop/rock, math rock, black/sludge/doom metal, (i like my black metal with horrible screeching and existential despair rather than horrible screeching and satan tho) etc etc etc e: shit i tried to make it so that clicking on the album art up there would link to a youtube playlist but it didnt seem to work. that's Animals by TTNG, EP7 by Autechre, Wavering Radiant by Isis, Music Has The Right To Children by Boards of Canada, Amnesiac by Radiohead, And Their Refinement of the Decline by Stars of the Lid, Takk... by Sigur Ros, The Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place by Explosions in the Sky, Happiness by Fridge, and Wincing the Night Away by The Shins.
@SpruceZeus You are permanently tagged in my head as "the music skeleton". I just thought you should know that. :)
A smattering of music taken from my phone: Doomtree, Pink, The Mountain Goats, Of Monsters and Men, The Black Keys, VNV Nation, My Chemical Romance, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Lupe Fiasco, Studio Killers, Dessa, Miles Davis, Enter the Haggis, Muse, symphonies by several German Romantic composers, the Hamilton soundtrack, and the Supercos.
Went to visit friends over the weekend and now I've started school. I'll get around to checking out all this awesome music eventually @.@

I am mostly a slow/mellow blues fan (as you can probably tell from what I put in "Current Music") but I am also a HUGE David Bowie fangirl. He was the first guy I ever saw that I wanted to kiss (up until he croaked - I'm not into cold dead lips no matter how pretty). A lot of 50s/60s classic rock& roll. Pink Floyd, Alan Parsons Project, Led Zeppelin. The Rolling Stones (even their early blues tunes - or maybe especially). Lots of classical music, particularly "Quartet For The End Of Time".
-wanders into the thread with his wide lizard mouth filled with albums- The Decemberists - Picaresque and Crane Wife got me into these folksy motherfuckers, especially because I am a sucker for lyrics that tell a story. They were the first I encountered to seriously do this, and definitely the only to really devote themselves thusly. I hear they've moved away from that recently, though, and that makes me sad. (Hazards of Love is also pretty damn good if you're into concept albums centered around ageless stories about lovers and faery queens and certain awful rakes - unfortunately I couldn't find the whole album on youtube to listen to in the UK, but it might work for US viewers :P) Of Monsters and Men - My Head Is An Animal. Dirty Paws, My Bones, and King & Lionheart. 'nuff said. Also, I really like their new album, Beneath the Skin, but I haven't yet listened to enough of it to really recc it as a whole. ( Wolves without Teeth, Black Water and Crystals in that order so far :P) I just really love their sound, you know? For a change of pace, though, I also rec Icon for Hire, a lesser-known female-led rock band that I stumbled over when looking at Steven Universe MVs (Hope of Morning is their's, if you've seen that vid) -places Scripted down gently- Rough punky rock with a bitter edge re: subjects like being ill (Iodeine and the aforementioned Hope of Morning, which isn't actually part of that recced album) and truly fantastic pitch ballad in the form of Up In Flames. (No seriously I want to sink my teeth into someone after hearing this, it's so... unf) OH ALSO FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE. No, seriously, literally everything this woman has ever done. Florence Welch can sing no wrong, IMHO. There are others but I will come back with them :D
