As any fairly new astrology student, I've been having lots of fun exploring all these stars. The other day I was going asteroid crazy and thought it was kind of cool that I was finding a ton of musician, composer and conductor asteroids conjunct my Chiron. Chiron always sounds like the spinach you have to eat. BUT isn't it a healing place too? Music always soothes my soul. I was listening to music and came upon a song (and artist) I've consequently always identified with and felt comforted by - for better or worse. I gotta say. At least right now, it's my jam. Hejira by Joni Mitchell. Unfortunately, there's no Joni or Mitchell asteroid to check out. Just Majoni & Mitchella. So, I think those are a bit of a stretch.But anyway, what about you? Is there an artist who makes a connection with you/your chart? What's your jam? Post it! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AfPR_B8s-A

I have such a wide variety of music that moves me. Music is probably the #1 most important thing in my life other than family/love..It tends to be the melody or sounds in music that move me, rather than lyrics..although lyrics are important to me too. Im just more into the sound. Cant pick just one jam lol..but the bands/artists that move and heal me are.. Deftones
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Puscifer
Type O Negative
Nine Inch Nails
Alice in Chains
Glass Animals
The Weeknd
Thievery Corporation
Garbage
Metronomy
Manu Chao
Led Zeppelin The list goes on forever lol IP: Logged |

Cap sun/asc/venus.I usually like saxophone or flute. Other than those two I also enjoy other types of music, it really depends on my moods. I don't have a favourite artist. Recently, I've been in love with these two songs: Kurage no uta - Jellyfish song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8c_A_EeVsY
Siren's call:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rDv7q6JG7k

Love the diversity! I agree that there are different times for various songs and artists. Pet Sounds is definitely an album where the music probably moves me more than the lyrics. Brian Wilson experimented with so many sounds. It's a tapestry.IP: Logged |

My fav album of theirs is Victorialand. It's weird because I could have sworn that I grew up with them playing in the house when my mom would paint, and the first time I heard them on my own, the songs sounded so familiar. But when I put this album on last the time I was home, she said she'd never even heard it before. IP: Logged |

Interesting! I used to listen to them back in the late 90s but forget most of it. I only sought out that one song, Tishbite, because I loved it so much. Did you listen to other alternative rock from that era...for me these all go together like a string of pearls: Luna
Stereolab
Magnetic Fields
Jesus and Mary Chain
Jawbreaker
Poole
Sense Field
Many others that might be too obscure, like Samiam ---> you must listen to that song. You would like that song. Very "noisy, sarcastic, rebellious, depressing."  Oh god and I have to hear Superchunk's Watery Hands  Thanks for the flashbacks.... IP: Logged |

OMG, Luna! Yes, I grew up with that around the house for sure. I was born in 94.. Never heard of the others, except for Jesus and Mary Chain, who I like.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'm so excited, I love so much stuff that came out in the 90's.. Holy crap, that Luna song is like listening to a dream I had when I was an infant. IP: Logged |

Aw! You're so young You're lucky to have grown up with great music...I'm still kinda stuck in that era...well it was a musical gold mine, and most of it went unrecognized. Sorry to pile on the links but you really must hear You Have a Light and this underground classic: 100,000 Fireflies. I was a radio DJ at my college in the late 90's. School's out though, I won't make you do any more homework... IP: Logged |

No no, thank you, I'm thoroughly enjoying listening to all of it. I like Jawbreaker a lot. I think this band Taking Back Sunday must have been hugely influenced by Samiam..

Haha, I wish I had been around for mixtapes. Though we did make each other CDs, even in 2010. Taking Back Sunday is one of the few bands I'm not totally embarrassed about listening to when I was like 14. That and Mindless Self Indulgence, Lol.... I would definitely still pay to see them live

Lmao
Wow, I don't think I'm any less angsty than I was then. I might actually be way more angsty now I feel like Mindless Self Indulgence all the time.

Yes. 90's was a fun time for alt rock Radiohead! Cocteau Twins and Bjork for sure www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKufCp8NnMk LOL about "depressing" music. My mom used to say, "Oh, my poor baby. She always listens to such depressing music." But I love the downtempo stuff too. <3 IP: Logged |

My list is similar, anything rock and especially anything with heavy guitars and/or screaming in it. Linkin park, flyleaf, rise against and so many more as well. I've got alot of squares in my chart as well as alot of Pluto aspects and I've definitely got some rage deep down even though it's not quite so obvious on the surface. Other people don't understand why rock is soothing to me but for some reason more mellow music doesn't calm me down. I'd much rather fall asleep with some screamo playing in the background.

Everything from Classical Music to pop, power pop, punk rock, pop rock and ballads.
I'm currently listening to 30 Seconds to Mars, Bowling for Soup, Korn, the Click Five, the All American Rejects, Limp Bizkit, My chemical romance... I also listen to indie music, and what is more alternative than listening to music in a different language such as Chinese and Japanese, so I listen to Jay Chou (for some years now), I love his ballads.
Isn't it weird and cool when you make a connection with a singer who doesn't even speak your language but you still feel like he is singing for you? IP: Logged |
