well, Rob Zombie & Marylin Manson are both caps...

but what kind of music is particularly capricornyish? every other cap i've known personally has been **really** into classic rock. or dead heads. i think because it's old and comfy like a warm slipper. i like to listen to it on my commute because it's good driving/back ground music. but it's not something i listen to very often otherwise.

i think caps might swing from liking something comfortable to something totally new and hot depending on mood/personality.

I'll listen to just about anything, but it has to be smart or feel special somehow. Not necessarily complex always, but extremely thoughtful or incredibly sensual. In music with lyrics, I definitely admire an understated eloquence with hidden gravity. But I can dig being totally gauche and really laying it on thick as long as the overall feel is plush, like crawling through velvet. But yeah, my taste is everywhere and nowhere all at once. I'll listen to any genre. In that sense, I'm very broad. But I'm very discriminating within those genres. I think Madame has hit it on the head, really.

One important thing about my experience with music is that I love "secret" new finds. I absolutely revel in them and fully digest them before giving other junkies a heads up. I don't know where that little quirk comes from.

I personally listen to mostly bands like nickleback, avenged sevenfold, ozzy osbourne, etc however, my taste in variety changes i also love classical, jazz, reggae, techno/dance, bollywood, and european music doesnt matter the language as long as the lyrics and music add up thats all im into

I've been very into music for as long as I can remember. Used to play some instruments but wandered away from them for various reasons. My music collection is extensive and continuously expanding, though slowly (Caps don't like things to change do quickly, do we?). It ranges from Art of Noise to Mozart to Kiss to Sir Mix-A-Lot to Shania Twain to Godsmack to Berlin to Rush. I've been exploring a lot of Goth and Techno/House music of late. Interesting re-mixes or re-imaging have appeal but only if they bring something new to the table.

There is always some underlying characteristic that draws me in. Sometimes it's a voice that just gets under my skin (Terri Nunn of Berlin and Maynard Keenan from Tool are like that), sometimes it's lyrics, but mostly it's melody. The song has to GO somewhere, have some theme or purpose to it. Showing off how fast a guitarist can wiggle his/her fingers on the fretboard is just so much auditory masturbation: to me it's only really fun for the person doing it.

What music I listen to at any given moment is driven by my mood. Sometimes I want music to support the mood I'm in (winding down / mellowing out from work) or sometimes I want it to burn the feeling out of me (angry music). When I want background music I'll go for something well known or otherwise non-challenging. If I'm there to pay attention and really LISTEN then the music gets more complex and compelling, chosen for it's ability to evoke/invoke.

i only know 2 cap males and 1 cap female.

one of the male caps i know listens to mostly alt rock, punk, folk, and indie. some examples include smashing pumpkins (his favorite band), death cab for cutie, the fratellis, and the stars. the other one i know is a musician himself and his tastes are very similar except he's less of the emo persuasion. some of his tastes include the ramones, the misfits, murder city devils (RIP), and botch. i have seen some rap on his mp3 player as well.

the female cap i know is uber girly and listens to horribly cheesy pop and new country. she also likes classic rock too though.

this is off-topic but i noticed that a cap's gender really defines them. the men are manly and the women girly. hmph.
