The Leaving Cert "What are you listening to?" Thread

Eathrin · 03-11-2011 2:14am #1

LC'ers come here and share what music you're listening to at the moment, old stuff from your collection that you can't get enough of, new albums you're listening to, stuff that gets you through homework/study and stuff that you're just relaxing to.

So, what are you listening to?

Manic2 · 03-11-2011 2:22am

Heyyyyyyy. :P

Yeah so Jonny Lang. I recommend Turn Around, Goodbye Letter, It's Not Over and Red Light. All excellent.

Strangely, Deadmau5 gets me through homework/study more than anything.

And I LOVE Kanye West. He's a god.

EmptyWithMe · 03-11-2011 2:25am

Can't beat a bit of Sam Tsui.

Eathrin · 03-11-2011 2:29am

It's not strange, it's meant to be. Deadmau5 is pure class to work to and any electronic music really, less lyrics so you're thinking less about it.:p

I've got Kanye's album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" so I'll listen to that soon enough. One of few rappers I actually like is professor Green, just listened to his second album and it's very good like his first.:cool:

Canard · 03-11-2011 2:30am

Anybody ever heard of/like Say Anything? :P

No really into British rappers too much for some reason. I do like Professer Green's new song with Emeli Sande.
Emeli Sande is an absolute goddess by the way.

I also love Beyonce and Rihanna. Seen Rihanna in the O2 there. She looked at me, like proper. I died slightly.

Kid Cudi is another genius.

:cool:
Legend, I love his music.

Manic2 · 03-11-2011 2:43am

He's amazing I love him so much.

Eminem's over-rated. Just sayin'.
Ed Sheeran. Also over-rated.

Currently listening to Outkast.

Eathrin · 03-11-2011 2:45am

Kid Cudi hasn't hugely impressed me since Day n' Night but then again I haven't really took much notice of him either.

Eathrin · 03-11-2011 2:48am

Just listened to Example's 3rd album and it's only alright to say the best.

Example don't really do it for me. They're ok, but nothing special.
Did you check out Jonny Lang?

Fighting through the mid-term homework blues with 'Smile', the newly released mythical Beach Boys album from 1967.

I can certainly see why it drove Brian Wilson insane. Perfection.

I'm sorry, I should have clarified. I meant good Swedish music, not random crap from youtube

Luno · 03-11-2011 3:10pm

It's not actually random it was the only Swedish music I knew, it's a friends cousins band so you'd want to leave em off! :P

I couldn't see anyone having a problem with this!

Yes.
Can't decide if I like Justice's new album or not though. On the other hand M83's (also French, should be way more popular) new album is shweeet...

My favorite too, not only that but I know all the lyrics to Taibhse nó laoch, éist a ghrá and Chomh saor also.:o

Indie and alternative really dominates all (that and electronic of course:D), florence is amazing as well.

I know it too! xD Actually put it on a cd when I first found it and started singing along to it whilst in the car and my mother was like wtf. Ah well. xD
And electronic. Actually used to hate it! Only recently started to actually like it. (: Although I'm unsure what exactly the electronic genre is. I call everything that sounds dance type music dance. XD

Agreed, I've listened to a good fee of TG Lurgans stuff and while most of it gets an A for effort only a few are actually good.

Irish songs yeh? Some good ones are
Roisin, Ba mhaith liom bruion le d'athair
Cailin na Gaillimhe
Gra na dtochaí
