Music and the gods

I do so envy those people who have come up with music playlists for their gods. It always seemed like a really good idea, but try as I might I've just not been able to do it myself ( Read more... )

All the music that I like could be classified somewhere between hard rock and metal; I honestly can't remember all the hundreds of little distinctions in sub genres within. Since the 90s was when I was listening to music a lot more than I am now, a good deal of what I do like probably comes out of there.

But anyway:

Sleepytime Gorrilla Museum: Ha, awesome name. I liked this, will listen to more. :-)

Disturbed's Want - I have their first album so I've heard that one. You're right, that does work.

Counting Bodies Like Sheep - This one not so much. (WTF video? gods, I hate how everyone on Youtube thinks they can make a music video)

More Human Than Human - I like that song, but could never have it on a spiritual playlist. I've seen it use so often on movie previews and commercials that my mind will only associate it with John Woo-esque action films. :-P

Return of the Phantom Stranger - I fucking love this song, it was my favorite off Hellbilly Delux. As a general rule I love music that sounds like it came out of a horror movie, like most of Rob Zombie's stuff, or Cradle of Filth which has been my favorite band for the last year or so. :-)

System of a Down - Spiders is a great song. And anything off Toxicity.

For some reason, I didn't think to look at Tool. Now that I am thinking about it, I bet there is a ton of appropriate stuff there.

Btw, looking at Renee's playlist, you two have got to have the most divergent musical tastes I've ever seen in a couple. :)

No kidding, huh? We probably have about five songs we like in common and other than that we don't listen to music together.

I know her mother made a very big deal out of that after meeting me, like our divergent music and movie (though there is more in common there) tastes meant we had nothing in common at all. I don't get it, not a very big deal to me. :-p
