Simon and Garfunkel are music legends.

Absolutely agreed.

@Thy man i used to love Hotel California when i wasn't into vocaloid yet.

I Know right? The composition and the guitar rift are what makes the song so good. If I ever do get the money and the time to learn VOCALOID it would be the first song I'd cover to be sure.

 

[Fukase]

I seem to have a big list of favorites. It includes Fukase (Sekai No Owari), PSY, G-Dragon, T.O.P and more. At times, I do become fans of some of the voice providers too.

Favorite Bands/Musicians:
Breaking Benjamin (I have 2 CDS of this band, but I want to get the others later on)
Evanescence (Only 1 CD, but I do love Amy's voice and her others songs that are not in the CD of Fallen
Starset - No CDs owned, but I found this band almost similar to Breaking Benjamin and I do like some of their songs. : D


I like these Bands/Musicians:
Taylor Swift (I only have 1 CD of hers, but I think there was another one or two more that I want. I may not like all her songs, but she does have a nice voice. But not her 'rapping voice' oh dear god, no. I also don't really listen to her new songs much, but I love almost most of her older songs and few recent songs)
One Ok Rock -- I don't own any CDs of this band and don't listen to all his songs, but I do like how he makes JPN/ENG songs combine (like mostly ENG but there is some JPN in there)
Thousand Foot Krutch -- No CDs, but I do like some of his songs. : )
Linkin Park -- No CDs, but I do like some of their songs. (RIP to the singer : ( )
Within Temptation -- No CDs, but I do like her voice and some of her songs.
Skillet -- I haven't heard from this band for a while, but I used to love some of their songs a few years ago. (No CD owned from them)
Red -- I only listened to a few of his songs, but man, *Clutches chest* those feels from those songs. (No CD owned from them too)

Well, I'll end it here.

Studio Killers have never released a song I don't like. Love that band.

 

[Herrscher of the Void]

ZUN (Junya Oota), creator of the Touhou series, does such great music I can't quite describe what genre, but I guess classic? And I'm not alone with this since his music has a lot of arrangements...

Daisuke Ishiwatari, creator of Guilty Gear series, Does either rock or metal. I find being original kind of hard day by day, but he manages to be quite original... Like every creator has their equilavent of "Amen Break" so It gets same-y after a while, But his music always feels different.

I also love the Hardcore Techno scene. Especially the Japanese scene. I think moro nails Hardcore Techno pretty hardcore. While Hardcore Techno and Techno in general are made to be same-y since that's kind of the knack of it, I think moro manages to be as unique as possible. Other artists I love from the Hardcore Techno scene are Kobaryo, Coakira, t+pazolite, ozigiri, RedOgre and H.U.T Gigar.

I've reminded myself how much I love Parov Stelar recently

Older rock: Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and 'prog-rock' like Yes
Jazz/Fusion: Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Allan Holdsworth, some Frank Zappa
.. and also very much: Bjork
And these days I listen a lot to Jpop like in Anime openings, and the sountracks (OST) - and of course vocaloid stuff.
But I also like a lot of metal, and classical - especially the late 19th and early 20th century composers
