My iPod

[Velea]

Ok, so been a while since anyone has started a totally new thread, so I thought I'd dive in with a relatively simple question...

What's on your iPod? (And if you don't have an iPod, the real question is "what sort of music do you listen to"?)

To make it a bit more interesting, though, what band is on your iPod that perhaps no one has ever heard of before?

For me it would be a Celtic Rock band called Coyote Run. (http://www.coyoterun.com/)

First fell in love with their music many years ago when they came to the Renn Faire near me, but it's gotten even better over the years because I now count their members among those I call "friend".

[C`gan]

I don't have an mp3 player (iPods are just brand name overpriced ones).

Stuff I listen to: Linkin Park, Backstreet Boys, Big n Rich, Bette Midler (and who doesn't like "The Rose"????), Evanesence, Nightwish, ABBA, Kenny Chesney, Cyndi Lauper, O Town, N'Sync, Blackhawk, John Michael Montgomery, La Bouche, Real McCoy, Clannad, Enya, Michael and Jeff Danna, David Arkenstone, Pearl Jam, Soul Collective, Unwritten Law, Simple Plan

Just to name a few.

[AmonGwareth]

Hmm... 16gb worth on mine. So lets see. Music nobody has heard of.

Andy Gregory

The rest is 80s or 90s music plus a mix of soundtracks (movie and game) and classical.

[Mahja]

The Feelers and FFXI soundtracks mostly.

I also got an older ipod refurb cuz I did not like the design of the newer ones at the time.

Edit: Forgot the german language tapes too.

[Malaquion]

Well, let's see...I have a lot of songs on my iPod that I like, but don't listen to the artist in general...Besides those, though:

Cascada
Dragonforce (excellent to listen to while playing HZ. It just fits.)
Enya
Evanescence
Jonathan Coulton
Linkin Park
Mindless Self Indulgence
Nickelback
Oingo Boingo
P!nk
Panic! At The Disco
Rihanna
Three Days Grace
Weird Al


I also like System of a Down, Slipknot, Plumb, and various tracks from anime, but I don't have them on my iPod.


Yep, I have a lot of gloomy metal

[Charys Stormchild]

Don't have an i-pod or mp3 player, but CD's currently in favour are the new ones from Alice Cooper and Fish, aside from those a selection of Ramones, GnR, Steeleye Span, Fairport Convention, Motorhead, Bon Jovi and numerous others.

Something no one's heard of? Has to be Silly Sisters

Mostly listen to PlanetRock.com, 24/7 classic and new rock.

[Favoran]

No iPod here. I won't buy an iPod.

I do have Zen though. As for what no one else would have heard before... Hmm. I've got the music from Idaho's 2007 All-State Honors Orchestra, Band, Treble Choir, and Mixed Choir on there. I'm sure no one's heard them, cause you can't get those tracks unless you performed there.
