Well, they say 'steampunk is what happened when goths discovered brown...'
And in that sense of the word, I'm a goth, too. ^^

The Myst soundtracks are good. Enter Spire in particular is awesome.
I have yet to hear a John Williams soundtrack that wasn't superb. If you read a fic about Twilight Sparkle and Shining Armor, I'd recommend "Luke and Leia".
Oh, and the Lord of the Rings soundtrack is excellent, as are the Doctor Who soundtracks (classic and new).
I'd never heard of Heather Dale before deciding to check her out on your recommendation, and now I'm a fan too.
You got any other artists that I might never have heard of before?
I'm not an agent yet, but here are a few recommendations. Lindsey Stirling has some really good techno/violin music, and journey and Kansas are good 80's music. Owl city, The civil wars, Simon and Garfunkel, Train, the script, survivor, foriener, evanessence, within temptation, Regina Spektor, and Kate Nash. Most of these are pretty common, but I like them. You should give them a try.
You'll never be an agent. You'll always stay a boarder, but if you're good enough, you'll get Permission and be allowed to write about agents. :)
That's fine. I don't really want to be a boarder either now, so I doubt that I could ever be an agent.
Considering that agents are, y'know. Fictional. We are, however, all boarders. Pretty much anyone who posts here for any length of time is considered a boarder.
We're rough around the edges, and we (or at least I) do actually expect people to read, but we're not intentionally trying to run you off, for the record.
Ever hear of Two Steps from Hell? They do this great orchestral-type music, mainly for movies. Speaking of which, composers like Zach Hemesy and John Williams have some pretty good stuff too..
...some excellent French artists? I'd suggest listening to the band "Les Trois Accords" (try their Youri and Grand Champion International de Course. Just know that their music videos have absolutely nothing to do with what they're singing about), Edith Piaf (her Amants d'un jour is particularly beautiful), and anything by Alain Bashung.
Basically anything in which the characters die.
And recently I've got into Abney Park. Yay for steampunk!
Well, I'd recommend a lot of things. The Protomen, Powerglove, The Raconteurs, HammerFall, Neil Young, Iron Maiden, and Rush.
Here's some awesome to start off with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQEgZNqa8jE&list=FLjy6SNIx675ppG4oLX1nSA&index=15&feature=plppvideo
Hehe, I got y'favourites~ ^^ *sticks them on to listen to*
And yes, Iron Maiden are amazing. ^^
I have to say, those songs are awesome!
I love them... *goes to try and get them on my iPod*
I think I went through as many by Angelspit as I could find, haha~ They seriously are amazing...
...any good ones from deadmau5... and Yeah Yeah Yeahs...?
...which is funny, because I country skipped and went shopping in England yesterday, and there was this amazing music shop that had a whole pile of CDs by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and I was like "OMIGODDESS THIS SHOP IS AWESOME!"
But I didn't have enough money to buy them... *pouts*
Ah, that's okay, I tend to prefer the lyrics videos anyway, because they'll have less of the long beginnings/endings that aren't actual music. ^^
And... So many songs~ 8D It's like heaven without the sheep! *dances*
...ohonhon... You aren't the only one who saw that in a sexual way... I blame... THE FRENCH! Darn frogs... ((No offence to the French, I really blame Hetalia))
Hope you enjoy the songs! *releases sheep at you*
I just blame my mind. :)
I listen to video game soundtracks, like those from Super Robot Wars and/or Touhou Project.
Other than that, I like Queen and JAM Project.
...Queen~ :3 *hums Bohemian Rhapsody*
Video game soundtracks~ ^^ They're almost always good... Even back when they were beeps~
I mean, Duck Tales - The Moon, anyone?
But seriously... some game music... is just awesome~ ^^
Everywhere You Go is an awesome song from the SRW OG Soundtrack.
That is pretty cool~
I feel compelled to mention VVVVVV - Positive Force.
I have no clue what the game is, but it really is amazing. I can blame TV Tropes' 'Awesome Music/Video Games' page for it~
I get most of awesome music from Tvtropes.
Lots of people.
Ah, I see.
Everything from Dvorak and Saint-Saens to Nightwish, Taylor Swift, and Owl City. Ooh! Beethoven, too. And sometimes just for fun I listen to the different versions of "Marukaite Chikyuu" and "Hatafutte Parade".
But movie music is pretty badass too. "Mind Heist" by Zack Hemsey and "Unstoppable" by E.S. Posthumus are so awesome that if you play them while watching/listening to anything, that anything will automatically become badass.
...who likes everything~
Seriously, people hear me listening to my Eurodance and my Nightcore, then get surprised when they borrow (read: steal) my iPod and find the Goregrind and Classical music. ^^'
And... another Hetalia fan~ *dances*
'Songs that are so badass they make everything badass when listened to' should be, like, a genre or something.
Then I'd be able to find it more easily, haha~
...is your favorite?
Me, I like England and Chibitalia's Marukaites best, and Turkey, America, and England's Hattafuttes.
I like Holy Rome, China, America, and Chibitalia's Marukaites, and both Italies' Hatafuttes. Also I like Russia's everything. Oh! And Sweden's Hatafutte. He has one of those awesomely deep voices.
Holy Rome's Marukaite is so awesome... in general.
But I, unfortunately, can't listen to anything America sings (or even most of what he just says) without my ears bleeding~ ^^'
Maybe it's because I'm British?
...Swwweeeedddeeeen voooiiicceeee...
So deep and amazing. >7
To be fair, the rapping and guitar are kind of annoying, so I usually skip through those parts.
...annoying America~ But then again, his VA is also Canada, and Canada's voice is okay... ^^'
I've often said that Canada's basically a male bipedal Fluttershy (he even has a snarky white animal sidekick). His voice is just... oh God, so moe. I wish he had his own versions of Hatafutte Parade and Marukaite Chikyuu.
...MALE BIPEDAL FLUTTERSHY!
MLP:FiM FTW.
But yeah, he really should... I wanna hear a Marukaite/Hattefutte by that VA that doesn't burst my eardrums!
I shall excuse your self-pluggage for two reasons.
ONE! That. Is. AWESOME!
AND TWO! I can now stalk you on deviantArt~ ^^
Holy Rome looks and sounds JUST like my little brother did when he was that age. :3 It's so cute.
Ohhh, I *like* America's voice! (America = TOTALLY NOT one of my LO's I SWEAR)
Heh. Sweden kinda scares me.
My little sister looks like a mini Belarus with curls. She even has the glare down perfectly. To be honest it's a little creepy sometimes. Also, I love listening to the character songs. My favorites are Pub and Go, Buona Tomato, and whatever Russia's is called (Light Up My Heart maybe?). I like Sweden because he doesn't mean to be scary and he's confused as to why everyone is afraid of him.
*pats your face* Kindred spirit...
Though it's kind of hard to tell with me, considering that I keep abusing him in my fics.
They call me 'England' for a reason. Large eyebrows, loud mouth, fondness for tea, America, and Doctor Who...
...Awww~ That's adorable~ ...mine just looks and acts like Estonia. ._.
Ah, depends which... his dubbed voice is kinda... iffy, but his Japanese one just makes my ears bleed... Or maybe it's the huge amounts of Engrish? In Iggy's songs, there's less of it, so... ^^'
Aw, Sweden's one of my faves, 'cause I kinda feel sorry for him a little, 'cause he scares everyone off...
Pubba-pubba-pubba-to-GO! xD *dies laughing*
I like his Japanese voice, it's his American voice that makes mine bleed. x3 I like the Engrish, it makes me laugh.
Ehhhh... I guess. He's just... not my type? XD I dunno. Part of it is that I don't really like any of the Nordics because they kidnapped England when he was a baby and they were not nice to him- *cuts off long history-majorish-fangirl rant*
Taylor Swift is one of those artists that cause people to give me odds looks when I say I like her, apparently cos of the amount of metal I listen to - I never really understood the whole 'I listen to certain genres of music so therefore I can't enjoy others' mentality that some people have.
I agree with your comments about movie music, particulalry 'Unstoppable'
...why do people assume we can only like one kind of music?
People get so... amazed at the sheer amount of music genres I like.
Because it is all of them. I have yet to find a genre I don't like.
Because 'Justin Bieber' is apparently not a genre.
(No offence to any Beliebers out there - Please don't kill me.)
One of my guilty pleasures is DragonForce. I don't care if it's wrong.
Although a lot of it can get a little dull quickly, as I do find their stuff to be quite 'samey'.
I tend to be all over the spectrum when listening to music. Recently I've been really into Vocaloid songs, but those don't stick to a single style or genre. Other than that my favorite bands would probably be The Fray, OneRepublic, and Five for Fighting.
I love power metal and symphonic metal (Nightwish, Kamelot, Sonata Arctica, Apocalyptica, Lordi, and the first half of the stuff Irish Samurai just mentioned), and have a strange addiction to metal remixes of Touhou music (e.g., http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8B4JfbnqSGw). I also like Celtic (like the aforementioned Blackmore's Night or, um, more Touhou remixes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q9geGcGVBk) and a lot of game soundtracks (Castlevaniaaa... Umineko no Naku Koro Ni and anything written by Yoko Kanno or Yuki Kajiura.
So you like Touhou music in general, then~ :3
Metal is awesome... Especially symphonic metal~
And of course, game soundtracks can be so amazing it's unbelievable~
How could I forget them!?
On the subject of power metal, I should have mentioned Blind Guardian and Dragonforce. Also, Godsmack and Lacuna Coil (both of which are some other sub-genre of metal, possible gothic metal?)
And as for metal remixes, one of my personal favourites is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLo02AquUCs
(A metal version of Boney M's 'Rasputin' from the 70s)
Dragonforce is a lot of fun, but I get a little tired of how similar so many of their songs sound and consequently prefer them in small doses. ;)
I have fairly eclectic (read: random) tastes in music, although I do mostly consider myself a metalhead.
Stuff I'm enjoying at the minute includes; Metallica, Iron Maiden, Nightwish, Van Canto (deserving a special mention for inventing [to the best of my knowledge] the sub-genre of a cappella metal), Hammerfall, Lordi, Dragonforce, Led Zep, Meatloaf, Santana, Dire Straits, Queen, Pendulum, Turisas, and I have recently developed a fondness for 'nightcore' remixes thanks to youtube.
Yeah, Propane Nightmare is a pretty cool track, although my favourite (and the one that got me into them as a band) is still Watercolour.
As for Nightcore, I find it to be the same as fanfic; there's a lot out there, made by a lot of different people with... differeing levels of ability.
Definitely~ :B
And yeah... I can suddenly imagine a group like the PPC, but for music, destroying bad remixes and the like. XD
Maybe, I don't know though... it was more just a random thought caused by sugar rush, but...
It would be ridiculously hard to do... :|
I certainly wasn't expecting this to happen... but it works! Ahaha~
Such terrible puns... but still interesting... and it makes a good brainteaser to try and guess the song, too~ ^^
Nice to see I'm not the only fan of Celtic music~ Blackmore's Night... I must... HEAR ALL THE SONGS!
Classic! *sends you a 'you are awesome' sheep*
And of course, soundtracks~ Why must they (almost) always be so awesome? ;7;
Haha~ So many people, so many different tastes in music, but I love 'em all~ ^^
Ooh, sheep.
-Puts the sheep on his shelf, next to the T. Rex, the orca, the Knight and Bob-
I'm mostly a ska, techno, and rap guy myself. Thus, my recommendations are Adam WarRock (who raps about comic books and Firefly), MicTheMicrophone (who raps about MLP), Reel Big Fish (Awesome ska band), Pain (Awesome geeky ska band. Think They Might Be Giants, only ska), and the entirety of this channel.
I also have a fondness for Rockleetist, who does awesome English dubs of Vocaloid songs.
Natually, all of this can be found on youtube.
Derision, by Pain, which is one of my favorites. Also, they did the Jabberjaw bit from Cartoon Network Groovies.
Flippin' awesome! Everyone is awesome, that's why!
Y-you like a-ha? :'D And heck to the yes! *punches the air and starts eating the award*
Hehehe... Nicely done. Mine is the same way. ...What's goregrind? And nightcore? *is stupid*
J-Poppu, huh? You like Vocaloid, I'm guessing?
I'm suckier!
Heh. It is in my book. :3
I do the same thing. XD Only with fifties music and punk rock.
Ehhh...
Oh, right! I can second the recommendation for Voltaire. In fact, if you watched the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy back in the day, you almost certainly heard his music. Dude is really good, and tends to be really funny. Doesn't hurt that he's also just kind of an awesome person.
It looks really good, but I've never seen it.
Voltaire is kind of just... awesome. There's no other word for it. Sarcastic, ironic, hilarious... and steampunk. Don't forget steampunk.
Oh Harvest Goddess, I loved that show! *smiles* those were the days... So many TV shows suck these days... ^^'
