    Guess I'm the odd man out! I love me some salsa, cumbia, merengue and bachata - You can catch me dancing to any of these tunes at any given time!

    I go through phases where I either don't listen to much music at all, or else I spend days at a time obsessing over finding recent releases and obscure gems. The only thing I consistently dislike is Nashville Country. If it's contemporary Country, it's Outlaw or nothing as far as I'm concerned. Other than that, I like essentially everything from Bach to NWA, and a lot of what I stumble across outside of the Western tradition.

    A few perennial favorites are Tom Waits (of course), Felice Bros, Bowie, Beethoven, Dre, Townes Van Zandt, The Eels, AC/DC, The Who, Titus Andronicus, and Arctic Monkeys.

    Most recently, I've been on a 90's kick and then revisiting Kate Tempest, a poet turned rapper who released what to me was the best album of 2016: Let Them Eat Chaos.

    I listen to absolutely everything . I can go from rapping Cardi B in my car to vibing to Nirvana. Some of my favorite artists of all time now are Beyonce because is she the queen, Coldplay, Kendrick Lamar, J Cole, Lana Del Rey, Rihanna, Eminem, Maroon 5 etc. As a Torontonian I will always include Drake and The Weeknd in my mix.

    Classical music and concert band music. Some of my favorite works include Symphonie fantastique, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, and Perthshire Majesty.

    When I need to do some intense studying, I usually listen to the sound of rain. If not, I am a huge fan of soundtracks in general. Everything from films, games, and TV shows. They're normally designed for background/ambiance settings and I have always enjoyed listening to them while being able to focus on studying at the same time. Something I would recommend would probably be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon's soundtrack as it is an unusual blend of Western and Eastern musical styles. I also really enjoy Desplat's work all around (Harry Potter, The Grand Budapest Hotel, etc.) and our local favorite Hans Zimmer.

    It was interesting seeing what everyone likes to listen to! I never post on here but I had to contribute to this forum lol

    I'm always listening to R&B (especially 90's R&B) :D My favorite artists are Jon B., Tamia, Kehlani, SZA, Groove Theory, Ella Mai, and Princess Nokia (I really like her new mixtape). Also like Z-Ro, E.S.G.,and D.J. Screw. When I'm studying, I listen to Spanish music (Natalia Lafourcade, Julieta Venegas, and Mercedes Sosa are some of my favorite artists). Other bands/artists I like; Alice in Chains, Gorillaz, Aretha Frankin, Nina Simone :) I can't ever narrow down my music taste and I really like listening to a little bit of everything. I can relate to Leah on that

    For R&B artists, I'm surprised Frank Ocean hasn't been mentioned on this thread--that is, if I haven't missed mention of him. Beyond Frank, you should look into Moses Sumney's new album, Aromanticism, which draws on R&B and neo-soul influences. James Blake's The Color in Everything album is also phenomenal, and it features a more electronic-focused R&B sound. There's also Sampha, whose Process album is similarly an electronic approach to R&B, though with more soul influence. Sampha collaborated with some big-name artists in the industry as a producer before embarking on a solo career. Oh, and I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Anderson .Paak, whose Malibu album I couldn't stop playing for a year.

    For indie-pop artists, I'd recommend Rainbow Kitten Surprise's new album, How to: Friend, Love, Freefall, which flirts with indie-pop and hip-hop genres. Along the same lines, in that they have a similar sound, I'd also encourage you to listen to Magic City Hippies' EP, Hippie Castle EP. (I am not kidding about those names.)

    If you listen to folk and alternative, my favorite artists, by far, are Bon Iver--who also, in a tangential but somewhat related note, collaborated with James Blake on his The Color in Everything album and has other collaborative projects in Volcano Choir and The Shouting Matches--the Fleet Foxes, and Andrew Bird. I'd recommend everything by these artists, though the Fleet Foxes' Helplessness Blues and Bon Iver's Bon Iver album were, and remain, particularly important to me. They both grapple with how to make meaning and sense of the world, and I listened to those albums at a time where that exploration resonated with me.

    lol

    Favorite R& B and alternative music or artists rn??

    I'm an old man so I listen to a lot of older stuff, but right now I like The Weeknd, Khalid, Drake, Post Malone, ZAYN. I enjoy a lot of the newer pop/hip-hop female artists. I really like Demi, Ariana, Bebe Rexha. Cardi B is alright sometimes lol.

    Wow, what an interesting mix on here! It's cliche, but I really do listen to a little of everything. Granted, a lot more podcasts than music these days. But, I'm a sucker for anything 90s dance/pop, alternative, indie pop, straight up top 40 pop, Broadway soundtracks and some artier things. Lately have been listening to a lot of Sigur Ros in the background while I study. Kinda perfect background music like that, but also you guys got me inspired to rotate in some soundtracks too.

    The assorted list of what gets played the most in my spotify: Carly Rae Jepsen, Sigur Ros, Tegan and Sara, Chvrches, Jimmy Eat World, John Mayer, Matt and Kim, Death Cab for Cutie, Hamilton soundtrack, Dear Evan Hansen soundtrack, Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, Copeland, Bon Iver, and an assortment of standup comedy albums (but that's not music, I know haha).

    I love Sigur Ros as well! I've been listening to them a lot lately. Incredibly ethereal sounding music -- it has quite the calming effect. Hoppipolla and Sæglópur are my favorites.

    Would you (or anyone else) happen to know of similar-ish post-rock/indie pop bands/artists? I haven't had much success in looking for bands that play music of the same genre...

    Hmm... I don't know a lot in that genre, and I think Sigur Ros are in a class of their own. (3 But maybe check out Explosions in the Sky? I also think Bon Iver and Volcano Choir fit into that genre for me too, more or less. English lyrics, but nearly as difficult to understand as Icelandic haha.(/p)

    @leahbeuk911 That's difficult... I never tried to rank composers. The three that come to my mind at the moment are Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, and Tchaikovsky.

    The new Arctic Monkeys came out today. So, that's what I'm listening to. But during BR and meditating, I really like this--

    @jacquestoupin470 , completely agreed. He’s every bit on par with Dylan or Simon, yet remains relatively obscure. I bought a record player just so that I could listen to Old Quarter on vinyl. To really experience it right, crank the heat up and grab a few cheap beers to stay cool!

    @leahbeuk911 Sigur Ros is definitely good study music. I LOVE CHVRCHES, and most all of the other newer synth pop bands with a girl vocalist e.g. Broods, Sylvan Esso, Prutiy Ring

    @roystanator440 I like that a lot. Its bringing me back to my days in eve online. Have you ever tried listening to straight binaural beats?
