RenlyIsNotRight Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Another more light hearted topic, but as a musician myself one that's been on my mind for a bit - if for whatever weird reason the characters in ASOIAF had access to real world music, what type of music do you think they would be listening to? I have a few thoughts on ths myself...Ned Stark - For whatever reason Ned just seems to me like the guy who'd have every Zeppelin album on vinyl. Maybe because he reminds me of my father who turned me onto Led Zeppelin.Jon Snow - We're all aware that "Jon is emo" is a thing, but I'm not sure I could see Jon listening to emo so much as 90s pop punk stuff like old Green Day, The Offspring, etc...the real emo would be...Theon Greyjoy - All the daddy issues, stuff like Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, Hawthorne Heights etc would be tailor made for him.Robert Baratheon - Would definitely be a metalhead, along with all of House Baratheon in general. I mean "Ours Is The Fury", what is more metal than that? and I'd think he'd have a particular affinity for power metal, used to get himself pumped for battles. His favorite band...Hammerfall.Stannis Baratheon - Would also be into metal, but more the progressive stuff - introspective lyrics and emphasis on technical proficiency would appeal to him. Dream Theater, Tool, Opeth, stuff like that.Renly Baratheon - Continuing the metal theme here...Renly is the one who'd be listening to Avenged Sevenfold and stuff like that lol.Joffrey Lannister - Definitely the absolute douchiest music on the planet - Lil Wayne, Drake, 2Chainz, anyone in Young Money.Oberyn Martell - Actually, I could see Oberyn being the character most likely to appreciate some good jazz, and I don't mean Kenny G elevator music crap. Oberyn would probably have Kind of Blue by Miles or Love Supreme on repeat on his iPod.Roose Bolton - Classical music. Unquestionably. He'd listen to Vivaldi's Four Seasons or Beethoven's 5th during flaying sessions.Gerold "Darkstar" Dayne - Would posture himself as some kind of Hot Topic "gothic rock" type of guy or whatever, but would secretly go home and listen to NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys while staring at himself in a mirror for hours.Of course, this isn't every character in the series, just some ideas I've thought of. Anyone else have any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARYa_Nym Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 There is the idea that Arya completely doesn't like songs which I admit has some basis but the men in Braavos teach her filthy songs.I'm thinking NIN Closer, a lot of Janet Jackson, Madonna, Prince, some Christina Aguilera songs, some '90s R&B, and rap music.I associate Sansa with Taylor Swift.Jon is melancholic and gets called emo. I don't know exactly what they listen to since I don't listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogLover Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ned Stark - Pink FloydJon Snow - Black AngelsTheon - Jay-Z, Lil' WayneRobert - yep, total metalheadRenly - progressive jazzJoffrey - Justin Bieber and the likeOberyn Martell - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and possibly King Crimson Roose - Agree classicalDarkstar - Bauhaus, Skinny Puppy, The Cure, Nine Inch NailsI'd place Sandor and Arya in the stoner, sludge metal category: Elder, Gemini, Red FangDaenerys makes me think of Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord (Baby's On Fire)ETA: Agree with ARYa_Nym, Sansa would totally be a Taylor Swift fan.

Naathi Prince Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Ned Stark listens to classic rock, the stones, the beatles, all of it.Robert Baratheon also listens to classic rock, he used to go to concerts with Ned...Ned droveTheon Greyjoy-listens to club music, because thats what the biddies listen toJon Snow-probably listens to a lot of different stuff, but he's probably most into singer-songwriters like Elliott SmithRenly-Madonna, Lady GagaStannis-Romantic era classicalJoffrey-People without souls don't listen to music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARYa_Nym Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Arya would also like reggae and Major Lazer. Maybe even dubstep haha!I wonder who would like electronic music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenlyIsNotRight Posted March 5, 2013 Author Share Posted March 5, 2013 I wonder who would like electronic music.Hmmm...which character would be a raver? My moneys on Littlefinger for this one.And yeah agreed on Sansa being a Taylor Swift fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyacinthGirl Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Stannis would definitely listen to Beethoven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion of Judah Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Classic Rock, Led Zeppelin!?! I feel like I'm in a time machine. Which character would listen to R&B? I think Ned would be more of a RadioHead type of guy, like my mom. Robb Stark more into Foster the People like me. Sandor Clegane would be into Rage Against the Machine like my older sister. Dolorous Edd would be into hip-hop or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Winter Roses Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 What about Tyrion? He would probably listen to anything good I guess, from classical to jazz to rock... so long as it is good music. I can also imagine him enjoying something light-hearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sullen Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I honestly really don't see Stannis being into music at all. He strikes me as someone who would abhor culture in general due to its lack of concrete, practical use.Ned Stark - Pink FloydJon Snow - Black AngelsTheon - Jay-Z, Lil' WayneRobert - yep, total metalheadRenly - progressive jazzJoffrey - Justin Bieber and the likeOberyn Martell - John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, and possibly King Crimson Roose - Agree classicalDarkstar - Bauhaus, Skinny Puppy, The Cure, Nine Inch NailsI'd place Sandor and Arya in the stoner, sludge metal category: Elder, Gemini, Red FangDaenerys makes me think of Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord (Baby's On Fire)ETA: Agree with ARYa_Nym, Sansa would totally be a Taylor Swift fan.Otherwise this seems accurate enough, although I would put Dany in Pop.Also, all of the Ironborn (save Theon) are massive metalheads.

Nerolunar Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Sansa and Jeyne poole would totally listen to One Direction and Justin Bieber.Varys would listen to "castrati" or what ever it is named.. Nah, just made a connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes No Sansa Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Sansa - Justin BieberArya - Dragonforce, Iron Maiden...Joffrey - I agree with the OP here, Lil' Wayne and those lame rappers... but he'd probably listen to something more gangsta since he wants to look tough... maybe N.W.A. (Dr. Dre, Ice Cube...)Theon - He likes the same type of music as girls (in parties), since he's a player and gets them in clubsJaime - He doesn't like music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
