A bit of everything.
I would think there’d be more Rush fans among Austrians:
“You can choose a ready guide in some celestial voice.
If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.
You can choose from phantom fears and kindness that can kill;
I will choose a path that’s clear
I will choose freewill…”
Edit: I just noticed that jay (above) mentioned Rush. Sorry I missed that originally! :^)
Tell me this hip hop song from KRS ONE isn’t libertarian (here’s a youtube link):
Now here’s a likkle truth
Open up your eye
While you’re checking out the boom-bap, check the exercise
Take the word “overseer,” like a sample
Repeat it very quickly in a crew for example
Overseer
Overseer
Overseer
Overseer
Officer, Officer, Officer, Officer!
Yeah, officer from overseer
You need a little clarity?
Check the similarity!
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off patroling all the nation
The overseer could stop you what you’re doing
The officer will pull you over just when he’s pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest!
(Woop!) They both ride horses
After 400 years, I’ve got no choices!
The police them have a little gun
So when I’m on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one
(Woop-woop!) I hear it all day
Just so they can run the light and be upon their way
reggae, post-punk, jazz fusion, funk, hip-hop, krautrock, idm, drone doom, prog rock
lately, i’ve really been into the canadian drone band nadja.
i’ve also re-discovered the fall, a band i had listened to almost religiously since high school, after neglecting them for some months.
you gotta love a punk/post-punk band that lampoons left-wing collegians and coined the phrase “killer civil servants”.
I like my rugged 90s hip-hop with a side of Buckethead. I mix in a little Vai, classic rock, and the Beatles as well.
I’m ordering one this week =)
Post Punk was definitely without a doubt the best era of punk.
I grew up listening to punk, its still my favorite. My all time favorite band is the Ramones.
Other bands I like: Rancid (1993-2000 era), Operation Ivy, Misfits, Minor Threat, Black Flag, The Specials, The Queers, Screeching Weasel, Choking Victim, Leftover Crack, Star Fucking Hipsters, Propagandhi, old Greenday, Nofx
I have very odd music tastes. The main ones are:
Touhou Music (EG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHFYORrFp8U)
Newgrounds techno music, generally by Cornandbeans or Dimrain47 (EG. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYhgJ3gKKc4&feature=related)
Obscure techno (EG.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVBalxt3NEU)
And, oddly enough, Soviet music (I don’t like communism obviously, but my great-grandfather was a communist in Russia and the music passed down, though my Russian is very bad and I can’t find the best of it) eg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7_lF2qZmC0&feature=related
Oh yeah. My music tastes are unusual. Oh well. I also like REM.
Was this humor lost on everyone else but me?

I love Radiohead. They’re fantasic. Since their lryics are dark, yet ambiguous, I like to take in the songs from an anti-statist perspective - espically “2 + 2 = 5” which has lines like “all hail to the thief!”.

But in reality Thom Yorke is just another uninspired lefty. 
His arguement is that poor countries have basically been fucked over by imperialistic entities like the IMF and the World Bank (debt slavery) and western Governments (corporate subsidies, intellectual monopoly “rights”, tariffs) and this is the fault of “free unfettered trade”… WTF! I just don’t get it. Why can’t people tell the difference between political-capitalism and the free market…
never go to artists for political opinions

i cant get this quoting thing to work right, but anyways this is pretty much me. i would probably not include Tool and would add the Pixies, Frank Black and the Breeders and would also add Lou Reed and Velvet Underground. Its funny, i thought i had esoteric tastes but this looks like bubblegum pop compared to what some of you guys listen to.
edit: oh yeah, add Outkast in the hip hop category
i love music threads. an earlier one turned me onto joy division/new order.
if you’re looking for a band that blends whiskey town era ryan adams, drive by truckers, and bruce springsteen then check out AMERICAN AQUARIUM!

These are actually their older songs (2007). But they’re also my favorite. 
So I think they’re the best to get into them.
Though I had heard of Last.fm previously it was not until these two events happened that I bothered to go there: a) you mentioned it b) I had a rather lengthy discussion with a local drummer notably about how to actually find new music other than random chance.
Anyhow, between him and Last.fm I discovered this band/song that I now would like to learn more about:
[ View : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7B1OKdpTJo : 640 : 480 ]
I can’t guarantee it’s to the taste of anyone here but I was rather impressed and it was strange that they are also (fairly) local.

Why, yodeling, of course! A bit old school, but doesn’t get any more Austrian than that.
I love yodeling!:
Yeah my taste in music is pretty much a result of me trying to figure out what the big deal was about all of these legendary bands/artists and I got really into them. I listen to a lot of other stuff too but those are the bands I would pick if I was going to live on a desert island or something. Although I forgot The Clash. The Pixies and OutKast are good but I’ve never heard of Frank Black.
And to quote someone:
(quote user=“USERNAME”)Text.(/quote) <--------- This, but use brackets instead of parentheses.
thanks for the quote help, now the only problem i have is an unexpandable text window that is too small to see all of the text i am typing at one time. just really clunky stuff here or else i am just not getting the system… anyways, Frank Black is another pseudonym of Charles Thompson, the lead man for the Pixies. his most accessible album is his first, Frank Black/Frank Black, I highly recommend it, also, while talking about the Pixies, the Breeders are the band of the bassist of the Pixies, Kim Deal, their first album, Pod, is pretty much pure genius, IMO. This reply gives me a chance to throw a few more names out like Primus and Yes, that have in common fantastic bassists, Public Enemy, whose stuff is very Libertarian to my mind, old Black Sabbath, old Blue Oyster Cult… i think a lot of my intellectual ascendance to Libertarian thought was through the primal truths that are expressed by these artists in their music. Like I implied above, I rarely find their conclusions about politics appealing but their perceptions of the injustice and the pathologies of society tend to reinforce and be echoed and make, and keep, one sensitized to the injustices of our society, if that makes sense.
