You have GOT to be kidding me. If I like it ... I like it. My taste tends to run a bit drum heavy, but it's not very limited ... King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, Rush, George Antheil, Kronos Quartet, The Who, Erik Satie, Frank Zappa, The Police, Bad Religion, Kittie, Abandoned Pools, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Tony Levin, NOFX, Iron Maiden ... crap ... I hate this question. Just go listen to the band I'm in and tell me what YOU think I like ... www.scardsanity.com

Movies:

Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, Serenity, Dogma, Spatacus, Leon, Yojimbo, The Endless Summer, Gods and Monsters, Big Trouble in Little China, Blazing Saddles, Lord of the Rings (all three), Unbreakable

Television:

On now? 24 and Teen Titans. On before? Homicide, Millennium, X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, FireFly, and MASH. God, I heart MASH!
