Music from movie's or series you like, because you already have a emotional connection with it. I love listening to the GOT soundtracks, such haunting and powerful music.

You can listen to classic metal: Megadeth, Metallica, AC/DC, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden (let's not forget Slayer, but you can find them a bit disturbing). Other bands that I like: Black Label Society, Paradise Lost, Rammstein, Motor Head, Machine Head. You can try some folk metal: Eluveitie or some thematic metal like viking metal (Amon Amarth) and war metal (Sabaton, Manowar). Hard Rock/alternative rock (Drowning Pool, Foo Fighters) is pretty cool sometimes.
These are the genres that I listen often with some examples of bands.
You can try some kind of movie trailer music/soundtrack. Two steps from hell and Audiomachine are pretty popular.

I agree with a lot of the users in here! I listen to all kinds of genres, too, to so my suggestions are pretty varied. For more calming, instrumental music, I like Hans Zimmer (the Inception OST is awesome), Helen Jane Long, and Ludovico Einaudi. For more indie stuff, I love Vampire Weekend, Broods, Phoenix, The Neighbourhood, Daughter, and alt-j, to name a few. On the contemporary folk side, I adore Bon Iver, Ben Howard, Ry X, Laura Marling, and people like them. I recommend trying 8tracks, too -- it is a site of user-created playlists that fit any genre, mood, or artist you can think of. It's great when I need a quick selection of music. :)

It really is! You can make your own playlists there, too. I like to gather all my songs in there for easy listening. The only thing that is annoying is that there can only be two tracks by the same artist on any given playlist due to copyright reasons, but it's not much of a bother if you're just browsing. The recommendations 8tracks gives are also pretty accurate. :)

As someone who listen's to pretty much everything but not knowing much about your tastes I'd recommend Leonard Cohen (especially his older stuff like I'm Your Man), Panic! At the Disco (All their albums are pretty good; If you like the other suggestions I recommend their newer stuff mostly), Fitz & The Tantrums, Cage The Elephant, Twenty-One Pilots, Grouplove, Foster The People, Frank Sinatra (Always a classic!), Jack White (both Solo and his bands), and Florence and The Machine.

Hi there, it's a shame you don't listen to music much, it's great. Ever tried playing an instrument? If so what genre did you like to play? Maybe that could influence what you want to hear yourself. As for me, I listen to mainly alternative rock and the Seattle sound, which includes Soundgarden, Silver Chair, Nirvana and Babes in Toyland and that kind of thing. It's all pretty decent, there are lots of older bands that are forgotten, Marilyn Manson for example have just released an album which is amazing, and even Mark Knophler has done some pretty amazing solo work if you're into stuff similar to Hendrix?

I do actually play an instrument. I play the bass intermittently. It leans against the wall, and a couple of times a day, I'll have an overpowering urge to pick it up and play Killing in the Name. Aside from that, I can play a tiny bit of Californication and a few Nirvana songs. I do like Hendrix, a fair bit actually. So anything that is similar to that, I'll be more than happy to check out.

Haha each to their own I say. But yeah, Mark knophler has a kinda slow, bluesy sound, reminds me of Hendrix because of that and because he puts in no effort and makes this beautiful sound like it just comes so naturally to him. And let's be honest, who doesn't love abit of Rage, I was listening to them the other day! You should keep up with the instrument, it can be your party trick.
