Overall a softer sound would be nice, or the ability to split MMOBugs Radio into different channels for different genres.

Very cool idea. Type of music at the moment is our biggest problem, It's hard to please everyone since people have different tastes of music. Adding another stream is do'able. The only main problem we have though is splitting our already small audience between different stations but on that note having a clean cut genre for a station would bring in more people. I will research this a bit.

[fjman]

1. Around what generation were you born? (ex: Early 70’s, Late 80’s)

1978


2. What would you describe as your style of music that you enjoy?

All. I appreciate Chopin's finest work, the latest Cannibal Corpse, and much between. I will say that I've got a distaste for most things on the radio, they tend to be bland.

3. What are some of your all time favorite songs?

Karl Orff's - O Fortunana
NIN - Someplace in time
Van Halen - Eruption (it's wanker music, but damnit it rocks)
ZZ Top - La Grange
Suicidal Tendancies - How will I laugh tommorrow
Lamb of god - 11th hour
and so on.. rather varied.


4. What were the 3 last CD’s you bought/downloaded?

NIN - Still
Otep - The Ascension
Chopin, performed by Van Kliburn, Op. 47


5. How do you listen to music normally? (ex: Radio, CD’s, Streaming Media)

MP3, winamp, from storage on another comp

6. What year was the majority of the music you listen to made? (ex: 70’s, 80’s, 90’s 2000’s)

Few recordings before 1990 have any real quality. Not the music itself, which can rock ass (i.e., Black Sabbath), but the actual technology used in recording has advanced SO FAR... pre-90 stuff tends to be thin sounding unless you've got a VERY high end setup. (I do! Yet, newer recordings have more depth generally.) Don't get me started on the joy that is old EPI speakers, and the upper end brilliance of the late 70's Mission speakers...


7. What sort of music would you like MMOBugs radio to play?

Variety. If I wanted radio music, I'd turn on the radio.


8. Do you enjoy music from the following eras?
a. 70’s
b. 80’s
c. 90’s

Old songs can be great, but see the above rant on recordings. I'd kill babies for the ability to go back in time, and record Black Sabbath's first album with modern techniques.
d. Latest chart songs?

No. Not as a rule, there's exceptions.

9. Do you enjoy the following music styles?
a. Alternative Rock (Cold Play, Incubus, Cake, No Doubt)
b. Heavy Metal (Metallica, Papa Roach, Drowning Pool, Iron Maiden)
c. Hip Hop/Rap (50 Cent, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Outkast)
d. Pop (Rod Stewart, Roxette, Robbie Williams, Beyonce)
e. Punk (Greenday, The Living End, Blink-182, Rancid)
f. Rock (U2, Radiohead, Oasis, The Beatles, Foo Fighters)

Yes. Much pop is very sterile, but there's some incredible performers out there. I tend towards the extremes. I can't listen to much of it, but I've actually played a jazz show (I'm a drummer, or was moreso at the time, fallen out of practice), and comfortably the most fun show I've ever played was a country set at a wedding reception. It had an interesting twist. My probable favorite to play and listen to is what I'd call dance metal: think Ministry from the Psalm 69 era, but with a subtle swing to make it bounce.


9. Anything else you’d like to add?

I'm either a snob or a whore. I listen to nearly anything that is a good recording, and a brilliant performance.

For example, the best female vocalists that I can find recorded are probably Amy Lee (Evanescence), Sarah Brightman (solo, known best for Phatom of the Opera, she was part of the original London cast), and Enya (new age).

For male vocalists? Aaron Lewis (Staind), Peter Steele (type O Negative), and King Diamond (solo, Mercyful Fate... such incredible range and timbre).

Best rhythm sounds (drums, bass, guitar where applicable)? Rammstein (such a WALL of sound!), Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Grip Inc <-- dumb name, great music), and Pantera (the guy's name escapes me currently).

Best guitar work? It's not about soloing, it's about making good noises! Randy Rhodes (Ozzy in the early 80's), Metallica (anything from Master of Puppets, the rest is sorta blah), and Children of Bodom (names escaping me, must be the beer).

To me, music exists to elicit emotion. That might be love, it might be hate, it might be dreams, it can be anything. Music is not there to tell me who to vote for, to tell me how much money you have, or that crap.

I think that a lot of folks would be really impressed with genres that they'd never otherwise listen to (i.e., opera) if they really heard good examples of it. For example, Vivaldi's Four Seasons symphony was quite probably the equivalent of heavy metal when it was written... it takes you on an emotional roller coaster. By the same token, the dichotomy of sounds in something like Cradle of Filth is something that you can really appreciate, if you can get past preexisting notions that it's just noise.
