    sum 41 eck how can you say that and RHCP in the same sentance. RHCP are gods and thus shouldn't be subjected to being around such riff raff like sum 41.

    Lately for me its all been about The Chemical Brothers and Nine Inch Nails, good stuff, techno and Industrial bands are becoming my liking lately.

    I have a massive playlist of a wide variety of music. So really whatever plays plays although I sometimes will re-arrange it to play some songs more often. I was reading darkfiction recently and found I liked gorillaz plus a few manson songs for that, with a few cold songs mixed in. I particularly like 'insane'.

    I've been listening to Blue October lately, specifically their third album "History for Sale". Beyond that though whatever is on the radio will generally do.

    I tend to listen to some uptune beats to get me into some fics mainly some of Blink 182's old shit as well as some Millincolin, but for fight/action scenes its always good to get into some Drowning pool, even a bit of Manson on the side. Adversity is always good...

    I only listen to music I REALLY like, if not, I just shut it down. I am extremely impatient, so I am constantly changing the order of my playlist to suit my needs.

    And when I listen to music, I get real involved. There is no such thing as "background" music for me, either I listen, or I don't.

    As such, listening to music for me is a very engaging job, so I can't read at the same time.

    The only exception is Mi Mancherai, by Josh Groban, the only classical song I'll ever admit to listening to, just because it's so damn good.

    Currently I'm into:

    Breakdown - Breaking Benjamin
    So Cold - Breaking Benjamin
    So Cold [Acoustic] - Breaking Benjamin
    Simple Design - Breaking Benjamin
    Toxicity - System of a Down
    Colors - Crossfade
    Enjoy the Silence - Depeche Mode
    Iris - Goo Goo Dolls
    Fireman - Lil' Wayne
    Henna - Cameron Cartio
    Savin' Me - Nickelback
    Remember the Name - Fort Minor
    Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon
    Wizards in Winter - Trans-Siberian Orchestra

    I never listen to music because I end up splitting my focus between the music and reading. I listen to music pretty much every other second of the day, so not listening to it while reading isn't a big deal.

    I don't listen to music all that often, and whenI do, it is all from songs I copy from my friend...Normally, I don't listen to music while reading anything, but I occassionally listen to some Greenday albums, Nimrod most recently, with a bit of the Killers and Weezer as well.

    Nonpoint, Pink Floyd, and now- thanks to Nonjon - The Smoking Popes.

    Bloc Party and Rage Against the Machine get a bit of play time, the above are the major ones played though.
