I like the original more:
I can’t believe that no-one has mentioned ‘Anthem’ by Rush??
If this isn’t the worldwide theme song for Libertarians, there isn’t one!
(Oh, & is there are better band in history? Alex Lifeson - Guitar God…Geddy Lee - world’s best bass player…And Neil Peart - hands down the greatest drummer ever.)
'Well I know they’ve always told ya
Selfishness was wrong.
Yet it was for me, not you, that I came
To write this song!’

1) What genres of music do you typically prefer?
Loosely defined post-punk forms, a lot of contemporary or modern classical music ranging from minimalism to serialism, a good amount of classical music encompassing a broad spectrum of late 18th century to 20th century forms, a lot of continental progressive rock (though nothing so much recent as the last twenty years) ranging from Kraut Rock to Zeuhl to Rock in Opposition and stuff that grew out of psychedelic rock like a lot of the bands in the Canterbury scene, psychedelic rock, a lot of vintage electronic… real synthy stuff, an almost crippling bias tilted towards a broad range of ambient and drone musics, a great smattering of ethnographic and folk musics, a lot of glam (I can listen to stuff like Bowie, Cockney Rebel, and Sparks all day if permitted), jazz, library music, indie rock, older sekou and highlife recordings, good dancier rock (most of it’s lame) and by that I mean stuff like Cut Copy or !!! or Cold Cave, reggae and dub (for some reason, Jamaica generally stopped releasing good music after about 1983… I guess because Africa wasn’t free or something), Tropicalia, I’m real big on shoegaze, I grew up mostly on punk and metal… I dunno. All kinds of shit.
2) What have you been listening to this week?
I fell asleep to Gabriel Fauré’s “Requiem” last night. I’ve been listening to a lot of comedy records to keep inspired while writing… Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and The Mighty Boosh radio series mostly. I’ve got a 160gb iPod and I’m of a mind that the thing was delivered by God. A lot of Ingram Marshall (minimalist) and Expo '70 (guitar drones) this week. My brother-in-law wanted me to put music on his Xbox and we listened to a lot of it thereafter, a lot of Bowie, Lou Reed, Sparks, and the Kinks.
3) What are you listening to right now?
“Empire State Human” by the Human League. Sue me.
I don’t usually respond to forum posts that much, but I do read them. I dig seeing Austrians digging arts and music, in particular. That’s where the battle for ideas begin for a lot of people… strangely or not so strangely enough.
It’s nice to see some reference to Faust and Amon Düül II on here.
Also listened to this week was the Can bootleg “Horror Trip in the Paperhouse”, which I break out with regularity. It features a 27 minute jam of “Spoon” that defies belief. I listened to it something like five times in succession. I also spent time with Cluster this week.

Nothing.
Ho hum, what else do I like? Some trance, some pop, some classical music. Here’s one I love that isn’t metal (omgwut):
Yes, it is in French. Why? Coz french is ossum. Learn it.
1) What genres of music do you typically prefer?
I prefer the heavier rock genres, such as heavy metal. Hardcore is great too, as is classic rock. I do have some softer rock stuff such as The Strokes, Muse, Blindside, and King Crimson.
2) What have you been listening to this week?
I recently got into The Devin Townsend Project (I saw zefreak posted a video by Strapping Young Lad, which is one of Devin Townsend’s past bands) through a friend. Basically, I’ve been consumed by that.
3) What are you listening to right now?
Right now I’m not listening to anything, but I am downloading Ki by The Devin Townsend Project.
1.) 80’s Glam
2.) Wolfe Tones
3.) Rebel Son - 666 Pack of Beer
I brought up Anthem by Rush on Best Libertarian Lyrics.
-
Chemical Breaks, Trance, Acid, Some Hard Rock, Hardcore (Happy), Metal (CoF and such), For listening but don’t care enough to know anyone’s name ( Funk, Jazz, Classical).
-
Classical of sorts, mostly the sound track to Empire: Total War. The Crystal Method.
-
N/A. I suggest Orbital to anyone who like electronic music.
Be careful, RUSH stands for, R.uled U.nder S.atan’s H.and
Either way, they still kick ass. Try some Yes, and Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Oh yeah, and the guy from Budgie looks and sounds just like Geddy.
Oh yeah, now we’re talking! The French are where it’s at in regards to the continental prog. Try Mona Lisa and Arachnoid, if you haven’t already. As far as the Germans go, Rockpommel’s land by Grobschnitt is pretty good, as is Brainticket, and Toad (although they are technically Swiss). And the Italians, beside PFM and BMS, I would look into Balletto Di Bronzo, Allusa Fallax, or Osanna.
+1 for Zeuhl, and RIO, Magma is definitely one of my favorite bands. I would look into Moving Gelatine plates, Area, Bubu, for some psychotic jazz rock.
+1 for Canterbury, not a group in the bunch that doesn’t kick ass.
For the proto-ambient, I would try Isao Tomita, and be sure not to miss Jean-Michel Jarre.
King Crimson, Soft??? Listen to 21st Century Schizoid Man, or Lark’s tongues in Aspic Parts 1 and 2, and tell me it’s soft!
I like every song on In The Court of The Crimson King EXCEPT 21st Century Schizoid Man. Seems to throw the album off, doesn’t fit in with the other tracks.
Some anti-establishment stuff:
Softer than what I usually listen to. Eventually you go from thinking Elephant Talk is really heavy, then you listen to something like this:
…and you start thinking stuff like Elephant Talk is pretty soft. In comparison, of course.
I feel the exact same way; I can’t stand it. The four other tracks still make it one of my favorite albums, though.
