I've been on this forum for a few years now and I can't recall ever seeing a discussion about the music everyone is listening to. By posting this thread I am aiming to change that.
This is just a thread where you can tell all about the music you're listening too at the moment; be it a band or just a single song in particular.
I'll start off with Elbow. I'm sure how big they are outside of the UK as they've only just really took off here. They're probably one of the most beautiful modern bands that I've heard. Particularly in their latest album: The Seldom Seen Kid. I'm also listening to Leaders of the Free World from their last album quite a bit too. It's brilliantly dramatic.
What's everyone else listening to then?

I happen to enjoy classical music lots. Currently learning a little bit of Italian by listening to Mr. Andrea Bocelli.

Duran Duran are also really good. I like the post punk too. I recently started listening to a bit of Joy Division.

I've been listening to the back catalogue of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds (albums in no particular order) when commuting to work. Murder Ballads was probably not the best choice yesterday... but O'Malley's Bar on the way home sure brought a smile to my face! Onto No More Shall We Part Today... so plenty to look forward to...

Well, I listen to different types of music. I enjoy Bullet for my Valentine, but I like Craig David as well, it is odd, but I always thought it is odd to listen and enjoy only one type of music. Classical music is wonderful, relaxing and intense, you can let go of your imagination while listening to some, but to my shame I did not have much contact to classical music in my childhood. Over 40 years of communism left their mark on my country, but I am thankful that I was born one year after this regime fell.

Ah... Leonard Cohen, anyone? Almost 75, currently on Tour around a large part of the world, and still sounding as good as he did in his 40s. I went to one of the concerts last September, the venue was packed, and very many of the audience were young people. Check out the link in my sig...
Currently listening to Love Itself.

Currently listening to Love Itself. | Mmmm... That man could sing me bedtime lullabies *any* time 
Honestly.... He has the kind of voice that makes me go weak at the knees... 
And, I'm not normally one to even be affected by singers and the like!

Metal and rock... Won't start with the genre crap, though.

I listen to Leonard Cohen so that I can impress girls, which I feel is a reason he would be pleased by. I need to get Flowers for Hitler on my bookshelf, posthaste.

Mark Knopfler, both his solo and and his work with Dire Straits. I am perfectly comfortable listening to classical music. For more modern faster music Dreamtheater. Leanard Cohen is pretty darn good too.

Right now Winamp is playing the whole production of Ensiferum. Nice band which combine some heavy metal, death metal and folk music.

Actually below are couple of their tracks from youtube, gives better picture of their music. And btw, many of their tracks contains very long instrumental intro (longest one IIRC is 3,5 minutes long), so don't wonder. Ensiferum - Victory Songs Ensiferum - Lai Lai Hei Ensiferum - One More Magic Potion
