Like, I've been listening to nothing but Coldplay songs in the train for the past week. >_>

I can't seem to listen to one band straight for a week...

I mean, unless I'm going through their entire discography for the first time, but that usually takes a couple of days max, depending on how large the discography is.

Edit: At least not these days. Used to be able to at least more so.

...I really do listen to too much if it took me a year and 3 months to get a band over 200 scrobbles.

weeeeak, I've got six bands over 200 and I've been on since January.

But yeah, I tend to concentrate on a smaller pool of artists while you seem to listen to just about everything, which spreads out the scrobbles.

Of 2014 or 2013? I started in December of 2012.

I have 605 bands Scrobbled at least once, and I just checked and I have 28 over 100.

Krautrock music listeners! I've listened to a lot of Neu!, some of Can, and all of Faust that was on Spotify (Not all of them but a lot). What else should I be giving a listen? Digging this genre.

I beat both of you

I have 1,738 artists with at least one scrobble. 21 bands with over two-hundred scrobbles and 66 with at least one-hundred. But then again, I've been on Last.fm for coming up on three years.

January 2014. I've got 21 bands above 100 scrobbles, with several likely to cross that soon.

Geez that's a lot of bands.

Though of course Anthony Fantano has 3,000+

Apparently you consistently listen to bands more then I do

It's not like I don't scrobble a lot. I do. Though I do have my periods with not much.

I still think it mainly has to do with the fact I jump around so much.

Rock. More specifically, experimental/noise rock.

It seems we have a WIKIPIPHANY

At video: The hell?
At band: Damn, this band really does change their sound around. This sounds NOTHING like the only album of theirs I've heard, the most recent one.

You should hear their first album then.

So, one of my favorite bands played a song in one of my favorite TV shows, playing the big important theme song for this major house in the show and for that particular episode, played for an important event.. And while I didn't watch the episode (Don't have HBO), they posted the song on their Facebook, and it's awesome.

They're also in the episode itself.

Excuse while I fan boy a little.

(Note: I knew they were playing in the episode and in the episode, as I posted before, it's just now official with tonight's episode)

Newbies, my account was created in 2010. It's just that I never went back once I had made it and I deleted it few months ago.

Damn, I have only 895 artists on my pc. Can't really compare scrobbles because it's something last.fm only stuff.

I really do listen too much if it took me half a week to get a band to over 200 scrobbles, too.

I'd willingly trade Mosquito for Fever to Tell and Brothers for El Camino.

Oh, trust me, if I tried, I could easily. It didn't take me long to get The Residents to 220.

I've heard 2 Can albums and a Faust album. I have a Neu! album and a Kraftwerk album that I haven't listened to yet and also plan on getting more Can and Faust stuff. Heard good things about Cluster, Tangerine Dream and Harmonia too.

One quick question for the music lovers here: What do you think of traditional music? (ex: bluegrass, enka, cumbia, and the like)

I have Tangerine Dream, but decided I didn't want to go through 300+ songs worth of material (and 39 hours), so I'd prefer to go by albums recommended instead of going through like 39 albums...

I had one recommended to me that I have on there, and I have all 4 parts to "Booster" just for the hell of it.

Don't know the others. I'll give them a listen.

Also, I did have Kraftwerk but got rid of them for some reason. Might get them back. Don't think I was in the mood for their style at the time.

You've got some great cd's man, but agree Brothers is not as great as El Camino by the Black Keys. Still, love some of the stuff in there (can't go wrong with Black Holes and Revelations).

For Kraftwerk check out:
Autobahn (1974)
Radio-Activity (1975)
Trans-Europe Express (1977)
The Man-Machine (1978)
Computer World (1981)

It's the progress of Krautrock turning into the first electronic music.
The early albums of Popul Vuh are very good I've heard, but I've only heard Hosianna Mantra.

Also Amon Düül II, Cluster and Tangerine Dream, but I've heard nothing of that myself.

I still need to check the rest, already checked The Man-Machine. It's essential for everyone into electronic music and for every music enthusiast in general

And this talk about collections... time update mine

CDs

Vinyls

Cassettes

So, listened to the new Triptykon album

It's awesome. Triptykon is still very distinctive at their style they do (Mixing various metal genres together), and they do it really well and always uniquely and interestingly. They're masters of their sound. I love it. I could see myself owning the last Celtic Frost album and both Triptykon albums easily someday. I don't really know what to specifically say about it other than that if you like a mix of many very dark metal genres (Doom metal, death metal, black metal, ect), I'd recommend to give it a listen easily.

Highlights: Demon Pact. This song is awesome. I might even go as far to say I'd give it a 10/10 if I was to rate songs.
Boleskine House is still one of my favorites on the album, as well. But I think my metal song of the year is now Demon Pact.

I'd rate the album a 8.5/10

(Yeah, I know I copied this directly from my post in the metal thread. Sue me)

Music that is neither estranged forms of Pop or Art music has a soft spot in my bloodied, squishy insides.
