I got my yahoo customized radio on right now,jammin' to some SRV:thumbup:

It beats the monotony & silence,especially when they're playing good music.

Now they're playing Alice in chains:D off "jar of flies"

I got a helluva playlist,if I don't mind saying so myself:D

Anyway thought I'd throw this out there.Sure a lot of you young guys already know about this.:o
 
Occasionally I do,sometimes I stream a radio station out of Scranton,PA,sometimes a Yahoo station,if they are playing music that you don't like,just hit the "don't ever play that again" button,after a day or 2 of that,and rating some songs that you like,it'll be playing mostly songs that you like.
 
Listening to Offspring right now.:thumbup:
Mostly a variety of metal normally; old Metallica, Megadeth, Fear Factory, White Zombie and others, with an occasional smattering of "alternative" thrown in(hey, I had my teen years during the 90's:)).
Think I've found about 9 rap songs that are neat---no country though.
Pretty much never from the radio though; I'm a CD/MP3 kinda guy.
 
I've been fooling with a relatively new service called Pandora:

http://www.pandora.com/

Seems to work very well; plug in the name of an artist or song and the thing not only plays cuts by your artist but by similar artists in the same genre.
I put in "Tom Russell" and the thing puts up a playlist of most all my favorite singer-songwriters.
You can easily create different "stations" with different artists, or mix 'em up for a custom radio station.

I couldn't figure out how the hell they were making any money doing this; there's no flash advertising. However, if you click on the album-icon for any artist, you get an option to buy.
 
I ain't exactly young, but I generally have Winamp running through my playlist, which tends to drive other people nuts. Personally, I don't see anything wrong with having Bach and Anthrax in the same list. :D
 
I listen to www.accuradio.com and I like to switch off between very different channels. They have a lot of variety. I think I'll try that Pandora, it sounds like an interesting way to do about the same thing.
 
My music preference is definately in a wide spectrum.It depends on the mood I'm in.It could be anything from Dido to Pantera to Mozart.:)

The only type of music(if you want to call it that) that makes me physically ill & mentally repulsed is Rap

I feel the same way about Johnny Cash and Bob Marley even if hardly any of my friends get it. But then, I also like some (very selectively) rap music. Go figure, I think it is a byproduct of being a mongrel. :eek:

Yeah, and a lot of us old guys too.

I use Live365. At the moment, the Gene Krupa Trio playing Limehouse Blues. Haven't used dialup in years.
 
I usually listen to either some streaming country or the stuff my daughter got for me that i've loaded on my computer. talk about varied it's everything from nwa to carly simon.

Is what I listen to most every day at work. 98.9theRock (on the radio) for the morning show; and then I switch on the internet radio. I like it because it plays something different, or versions of US songs in other languages or with cover bands.
 
iTunes or my iPod (yes, Mac products that I actually like, I know it is hard to believe)
Generally it's Bon Jovi. Old or new.
Also some Rush.
The BBC is also always blaring in the background from my XM.
 
Wow, I don't listen to music at all while cruisin' the net. . . or cruisin' here. My wife has me so convinced that the 'puter will blow up that I don't do anything with something else going on at the same time. (I don't get these new fangled gizmos, though.) My son, however, seems to play music 24/7 on his. The ol' lady seems o.k. with that, however. Go figure. Maybe I should check into it. . . I'd like to crank some Zep, Elmore James, G'n'R, NIN, etc. while doing something else. (My tastes are as varied as probably most of y'alls as well.)
