I love the harmonica intro to the song School by Supertramp, it just seems to be mesmerizing to me and extremely soothing, I almost wish the entire song was just the harmonica.

The keyboard work and interplay between the two soloists in the intro here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx1E1YzHLNI
I was in this audience the night this was recorded. It was even more incredible live.

I have never gotten into Classical music at all, and I am not saying it's not great music as I've known some, that in their opinions, there is no other music, Period!
We all have music that affects us and is probably got a lot to do with our upbringing and what we listened to in our early days on the radio, (at least for those that remember the radio!
) and then the music we discovered we loved, in our teen years and after.
I am seriously delinquent in my Classical music knowledge and listening, so I'm not ignoring those posts referring to it.
No Offense to anyone!

Lately I've been listening to this album and I think "The Spine" and "Paper Boats" are pretty cool.
I just love Ashely Barrett's vocals.
The tracks without her singing would make for good elevator music.

I doubt that anyone will agree with me, but extreme minimalist piano music by Erik Satie - the first Gnossieme. The best recording I ever heard was on a cassette tape played by - I forget whom. Much of the music is implied, in my opinion. Too much pedal ruins it for me, by making the harmony explicit instead of existing only inside my brain.
Beethoven's Violin Sonata, Op. 96., especially the first movement.
The second Brandenburg concerto, when played with the trumpet given priority over the other soloists. I will listen to it soaring over the rest of the beautiful music and be entranced. Unfortunately, my hearing is failing over 2 Khz (an octave over high C), and I lose a lot of the richness of the tone now.
Bach's sonatas and partitas for violin - the Preludio and Gavotte en Rondo from Partita no. 3 in E major (BWV 1006), the Fuga from Sonata no. 1 in g minor (BWV 1001). Bach's first suite for solo cello. The first movement is hypnotic.

There is way too much good music out there not to like. I'll personally listen to just about anything except modern country music. I prefer the older country (Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash,...).
At the top of my favorites is classic Jerry Garcia/Grateful Dead. Special treat in this video - Bruce Hornsby on piano.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFnNri15-4
A little known jazz band trio... well, little known outside the Seattle area anyhow, "Living Daylights"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6k4ZEG4DL2g
There is plenty more good stuff out there.

Even if you aren't a metal fan, at least listen until the first chorus. Absolutely amazing mix of musical influences and sounds in this band.

Old school metal head here and that's ok musically but that "singer" ....ouch. Sounds like Dark Angel or Sepultura. I could never get into that sound. I like speed and thrash best ( and really I like pretty much everything from thrash to classical and everything in between). If you want to hear a talented metal song ( group ) check this out.
I like to crank this up to 11. Every time I listen to it something falls off the wall!
Or metal to chill to. Yes it does exist!
Cliff Burton was such a badass on the bass.
Someone else likes UmmaGumma?
Heh "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" is amazing. Back in the days when Sid Barrett was going insane. -

@anort, honestly I quite enjoy Dark Angel. Not a fan of Sepultura though.. I personally lean more towards the speed/thrash/melodic metal than other sub-genres. Groove metal - Pantera, Lamb of God, Byzantine, Black Label Society, Pride and Glory, etc are all quite enjoyable as well. The song I posted was chosen to showcase a multitude of these styles, all within one seventeen minute long epic of a song.
If I was going to listen to metal to "chill" to, I would probably pick Ozzy, or Dio. Orion is an amazing Metallica song though, I do have to say - nice pick.
Edit: have you ever heard of Black Tide? I'm constantly playing these guys at work cause they pump me up so freakin much. Believe it or not, at the time of signing their record deal, the oldest member of the band was 17. Warriors of Time, and Live Fast Die Young are my favorite songs from them.

Nope never heard of them although that's no surprise if they are a fairly new band. Most of what I listen to is older. I was a big fan of Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Metal Church, Exodus etc. Pretty much what you would call speed metal. Pantera rocks. We partied with some friends of theirs on my senior cruise. That was interesting to say the least! Iron Maiden. Sabbath, Ozzy, GnR, Judas Priest, Diamond Head, Misfits and dozens of others. I started listening to metal in the mid 80s when I was 12 or 13 like all kids do.
I really like pretty much anything musically as long as they are talented. The last 10 years or so almost everything sounds the same. I can't remember the last album that I liked all of. Maybe a Lincoln Park album or Tool.

For just relaxing, harpsichord music (e.g. Bach) is good. I also enjoy the sound tracks from Guild Wars for a variety of moods (idyllic to kick-butt).
Artie Shaw's "Begin the Beguine" builds up to a nice chill-inducing passage, as does Boston's "Don't Look Back" but for somewhat different reasons.
Branching into Metal (and similar), I've particularly enjoyed the USMC version of The Warrior Song. The final "OoRAH! Marine Corps, GET SOME!" is a good KITA to get moving on something. The Army version also has a motivating relentless quality to it that I enjoy.

WK thanks for redirecting some of us here.
Sorry for all the jargon but here it goes...
In regards to Metallica, I cannot respect musicians (Kirk Hammet) pulling "a bag of tricks" after "a bag of tricks" after "a bag of tricks" when its just a really fast pentatonic scale. His guitar playing really bothers me, I will take a slow melodic George Harrison solo over Kirk's garbage any day. I do enjoy metal guitar soloing but when its tastefully done. On another note Lars is one of the worst drummers of all time, haha
As far as old school metal goes one of my favorites is, "Circle the Drain" by 36 Crazyfists.
Personally I am huge into the jamband scene: Phish, Umphreys, Lotus and the likes, also really love downbeat electronic music like Pretty Lights. Overall I have an eclectic musical taste. I attending a recording school in NAshville Tennessee in my earlier years which help build my affinity for high quality audio and production.
Joe, I like your reference to Boston's "Don't Look Back"...
I have scaled back in a large way regarding threads relating to technology, I think this music thread is great!!!

There are other jam bands than Widespread?
Not here in Georgia! I've only been to about 10 shows so I'm just a minor Spreadhead.
Also love electronica. My IPod would confuse the hell out of most people. Everything from Carmina Burana to Slayer, Pink Floyd to Cypress Hill, Mazzy Star to Enya. You get the idea.
And Justice For All and earlier were all great albums. The Black album was OK and everything newer you can keep. Starting with the Black album they attracted a significantly broader audience. Going to a Justice or before show and everyone in the audience looked like a stereotypical headbanger. When the Black tour came everyone looked clean cut like what you would see at a pop show.
But hell like Jason Newsted said when asked if Metallica sold out " Yeah we sell out, we sell out every seat of every venue we play. So we are doing something right." Not a direct quote but he said something very similar.
]
I love the Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3 soundtracks. The music from Deus Ex HR is also amazing.
Prime example of the ME3 soundtrack as well as one of the coolest scenes in gaming here where the fleets arrive to try and retake Earth.

I'm probably one of the few people here that is into Hip-Hop, Illmatic by Nas being a favorite of mine. Great if you enjoy deep internal rhymes and Jazz/Soul samples. I recommend reading the lyrics as you listen, especially for tracks like "One Love". I'd also throw in albums like '93 Till Infinity by Souls of Mischief and Moment of Truth by Gang Starr. Also if you don't want to hear any lyrics and wants some really great instrumental sounds, i'd definitly go with Entroducing... By DJ Shadow.
I actually have interests in other genres as well so:
With jazz, i say throw on some Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck and you'll be set. Even if you aren't much of a jazz person i'm sure you'll find something you like from one of them. The Beatles are great obviously and i personally enjoy some good punk music as well such as the debut album of Against Me!. Reinventing Axl Rose.

Since this is a thread about mesmerizing music, I have an upcoming experience to share. America's favorite jam-band Phish will be doing 3 nights at MGM Grand in Vegas over Halloween weekend. There is a lot of lore surrounding their Halloween shows and in the past they have done an entire cover album. I am greatly anticipating seeing them for 2 of the nights. I hope to take some pictures of the insane lights and other happenings that I can share in this thread eventually.
