What Are You Currently Listening To?

[Mike]

Billy Joel - We didn't start the fire. Its stuck in my head all day long and not in a bad way.

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

LOTRO background music... playing again :D

[Alex]

Don't know why, but I have an unquenchable habit of listening to supertramp ATM.

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

Gogol Bordello

So good live!

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

Charlemagne by Blossoms - because it's been on the radio recently, and also Queen Of Peace by Florence + the Machine.

[Gary]

The score to A Gathering of Eagles by Jerry Goldsmith

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Music from De Efteling... stuck in my head.

Nice!

[Mike]

@Rinn, from which attraction? Because I can dream most of them.

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Indische waterlelies :P

[Mike]

I'm more a fan of Fata Morgana ;) .

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

We didn't go on that one! Sad I missed it.

[Gary]

Listening to the score to Fedora by Miklos Rozsa.

[Vinca]

I picked up a Jean Michel Jarre album called 'Téo and Téa' at the weekend and am loving it. When the library sells off old cds at 5 for £1 it's hard to resist picking up something new and this one is definitely a winner.

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

The new Ed Sheeran album. On repeat. For days. <3

[Mike]

Last Saturday, I bought three albums on CD to listen to in the car. Its the singles collection by Gorillaz, El Camino by the Black Keys and the first album of Chef' Special, which is a Dutch band.

[Gary]

Listening to the score of the movie Wizards composed by Andrew Belling.

[Maximum]

Listening to Stormborn by Bloodbound, brilliant GoT inspired song!

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

Gonna throw a question out to all of you D and J enthusiasts.

What is your favorite OST of all times? (whether from a movie or game or really any medium that would have one)

This is a very easy answer for me. The OST of Final Fantasy VI (or III depending on how/where you played it) is my favorite. Possibly my favorite music of all time period. I will freely admit that nostalgia plays alot into this, but I cannot listen to it without getting emotional, and I am not a very emotional fellow. It is powerful enough listening to it on a super nintendo sound chip, but now that there are things like Video Games Live and Games in Concert doing full blown orchestral versions it is exquisite.

Hopefully I am not the only one to have experienced/enjoyed this game and OST.

So what are some of your favorites?

also, some runner ups:
- star wars (of course)
- Indiana Jones
- Jurassic Park
- Super Castlevania IV

they don't top FFVI because while I like most songs from them with FFVI I love every single second.

[Veronica]

I'd have to say The Lord of the Rings - all three movies. I don't generally buy movie soundtracks but I own these. I love that Howard Shore gave all the cultures of Middle Earth their own sound.

I find myself buying the soundtrack to movies quite often. I enjoy listening to them.

Favorite would definitely have to be Lord of the Rings though.

[Sarah]

As for the more general what I'm listening to.

I'm on a serious Lindsey Stirling kick right now. Check her out, she rocks!

Lots of John Williams and James Horner -- Jurassic Park, Field of Dreams, Apollo 13, Schindler's List, Hook, Prisoner of Azkaban, etc. Jerry Goldsmith is highly diverse and talented.

Definitely Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who. Inception is interesting.

My orchestra kids are learning the Star Wars theme and "In Dreams" for their end-of-year concert. I have a clarinet student obsessed with Jurassic Park, so I wrote us a duet for the concert.

Lesser-known favorites are Cowboys and Aliens, Ender's Game, The Truman Show, The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain.

I recently discovered the Outlander TV series soundtrack, and that's good. Never seen the show.

Sometimes a bad movie has good music, like Star Trek 5. It's hard to narrow down a favorite.

It's true that Truman Show is a really good soundtrack.

I like a lot Doctor Who (I went to a music concert of that show and it was great).

Inception and Interstellar also.

Life is beautiful for something more calm.

Agreed. I started listening to her a few months ago, and I'm really enjoying her work.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Doctor Who live in concert would be so awesome.

[Wayland, Ernest Scribbler]

Audrey wrote: "Doctor Who live in concert would be so awesome."

I think they've sort of done that with the various Doctor Who at the Proms specials, haven't they?

Yes, I've seen those on the DVDs or PBS or somewhere. But being there live takes it to a whole new level. Like when last year I heard The Planets Suite played live, it gave me chills even though I'd heard it dozens of time on CD.

[Fannie]

Audrey wrote: "Doctor Who live in concert would be so awesome."

It was. It's a local orchestra and they are playing music from movies and video games only.

The crowd was great and there was also a real size Tardis and Dalek. My son was so happy.

Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oplwK...

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Fun. The local professional orchestra has started showing movies where they play the whole soundtrack live. I haven't been to one of those, but they seem popular.

[Mike]

At the moment listening to songs of the new Gorillaz album Humanz.

[Lancer, Warden of the Slums]

Gorillaz are fantastic. That first (I think first) album like fifteen years ago still gets tons of play in my circle of friends.

[Lel]

At the moment im listening to a lot of Apocalyptica (a string quartet that plays rock/metal). I love their metallica covers and the duets they do. I even had them playing in the hospital when I gave birth. Not sure what the midwife thought......

They've probably seen everything. My husband's been listening to string rock groups lately.

[Freya, Dragon Rider]

I've started watching Enterprise from the beginning (rather than odds and ends of episodes part way through), so I have the theme tune to that stuck in my head randomly when I am at work!

[Sean]

Got it playing myself

[Sean]

Wanted something more somber so I have some acoustic songs playing. Currently it's the acoustic version of Home by Goo Goo Dolls.

[Jessica]

I'm currently listening to the ringing in my ears. Just back from reliving my youth at the U2 concert and it was AMAZING!!!
I have loved them for 33 years, since I was gifted their Live Under a Blood Red Sky record album for my 12th birthday. Never did I ever think I'd hear Sunday Bloody Sunday, and New Years Day LIVE. Just amazing and the songs are still so relevant today.
They still sound so great, I don't know how they've managed to do it!!

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

They were hugely popular in my high school. That must have been a blast.

[Jessica]

It really was so much fun, Audrey! I definitely felt like I was back in high school! Apparently so did everyone around me...we were all roughly the same age

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

The other popular group was Depeche Mode -- I still listen to their stuff.

[Jessica]

Oh yes, Depeche Mode. I liked them a lot, too. And INXS was another favorite. Their Shabooh Shoobah album is still an all-time favorite of mine.
I love to listen the 80's/New Wave station on Pandora.

[Audrey, Queen of the Potato People]

Oh yeah -- INXS was big, too. I'd forgotten about them.

[Sean]

Got in a mood for some electronic stuff. Found out there's something called Metalstep. I think I'm gonna download a lot.

I thought Nero's last release sounds a lot like what Lords of Acid did 25 years earlier with "I Sit on Acid" (warning: mature lyrics).

Everything old is new again.

It is Johnny Rotten's band after leaving the Sex Pistols. A Little more like post-punk but love the guitar in it.

[Sarah]

There is a station I think they still call them on Amazon music called "Pop Classical". Its where I first heard Lindsey Stirling. I love her stuff so I decided to check out some of the other artists I've heard on the station/channel/whatever they are calling it.

I'm really enjoying The Piano Guys.

I find that happens when I watch that too! Drives me crazy.

[Rinn, (Retired mod) Captain of the SSV Normandy]

Oooh I like Lindsey Stirling :) First found her on YouTube I think.
