What are your captain's musical tastes?

I wrote my Character Captain Nathan Valdez to enjoy late 20th and early 21st century 'classical music'

Stuff like Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and plenty of classic rock and metal.

    "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
    -Lord Commander Solar Macharius

      Nice.

      A lot of my characters fancy jazz, classical - like Strauss, Beethoven and those sort of folks - big band such as Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey and those sort of folks. 1970s pop, and heavy metal/1980s cheese rock. In fact, I have a playlist I had just for playing STO, with it's fair share of 80s hair metal - nothing like blasting vaudwaar to Leatherwolf! XD
      Resident TOS, G.I. Joe, Transformers and hair metal fangirl.

      And knowing is half the battle!

      My main, Krystal Jade, kinda prefers late 20th, Early 21st Century Country, with some movie and video game soundtracks mixed in. So it wouldn't be uncommon to hear everything from Rascal Flatts to John Williams coming from her ready room. Hell... even some songs from RWBY and the theme to Ghostbusters!

      I had Kanril Eleya taking a liking to alba ra (Talarian heavy metal; see TNG: "Suddenly Human") in her first appearance, in large part to reinforce her identity as an anti-Picard (Picard HATED alba ra when he heard a snippet of it). More generally I've settled on her main genre as female-voiced hard rock and metal: Halestorm, Nightwish, In This Moment, Lita Ford, etc.

      Generally speaking, Black Metal and Death Metal. However, there is also plenty of room for grand orchestral music.

      I like that General D'ellian (of Orion extraction) would insist up and down traditional Klingon war chants but has some John Coltrane hidden in her classified data storage.

      Byron Taggart likes medieval music performed on traditional instruments as well as haunting choral works.

      Magdalena Dalton likes music from the 1980s.

      Ruavu Deruno absolutely adores ragtime music and 20th century Earth composers.

      As a Reman, Karatek is still exploring musical styles to find what she likes.

      Misryath likes soft music played on strings.

      Tolata likes the Romulan and Bajoran equivalents of bluegrass and operas from many different species.

      Stebanyir likes Klingon War Chants.

      Zeus just tells Apollo to play something and Apollo instinctively knows what to play.

      Algernop Krieger is, of course, a fan of rock music from the 1960s through 1980s, especially Rush.

      Things I want in STO:

      1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
      2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
      3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
      4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
      5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
      6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
      7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
      8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

      Krysti like country music mostly from the '80s, mostly Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Hank Williams Jr. a lot of the "outlaw" country. she also like a few of the hair bans, like Bon jovi, G&R. "welcome to the Jungle" by Guns an Roses is her theme fighting the borg.

      Capt. K'tang, a rogue Klingon with Starfleet, has an inexplicable fondness for ancient Earth prog rock - all of his ships have been named for classical pieces from Rush (his current command, a Risian corvette, is the Red Barchetta; when next I upgrade to his final ship, whatever class is chosen, it will be the USS Rocinante).

      For that matter, the only other Fed Klingon in my entire roster, Grunt's science officer Commander Roclak, is a devotee of another ancient Earth musical style, rap. It was at Roclak's insistence that Grunt's brand-new Nandi-class be named USS Mixalot; whenever anyone asks why, he just smiles and starts singing something about liking big butts.​​

      In a previous assignment, during the Iconian Wars, Sa'Sogh Crell, of the House of Jev was assigned TDY to Terra. As part of the Klingon Defense Force's 'Coordination and Liasion Mission'. He endured a planet filled with soft weather and dead food. Which was cooked. These trials tested him to his very limits. At the point where he seriously considered resigning his commission and returning to his ancestral lands on Qo'noS, he discovered an ancient Terran composer. His music spoke to the warrior within all tlh'Ingans. Crell decided a people who have such music within them cannot be all bad. In time, Terrans may live up to the standards of glory and honor which the music of this composer say resides hidden within the single heart of all Terrans. Bear McCreary! Had you been born the child of warriors within the Empire, you would be accorded the title 'Master Loresinger'!

      Variants on metal, rock, punk rock, pop rock, any of Queen's undefinable music, rap metal. Oh, and some pop, standard pop, :(, I'm letting the side down :blush:.

      Basically anything from Johnny Cash to Black Sabbath and anything inbetween.

      They're basically me.
      Just looking at my playlist and I've got Linkin Park, Airborne, Johnny Cash, Take That, Beastie Boys, Imagine Dragons, Queen, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Fall Out Boy, and a bunch of Italian and German ones introduced to me that I can't even spell.​​

      Gregs as a refugee alien doesn't remember much of his own life, so he enjoys Earth classical music of the 18-19th centuries, and also the 20th and 21st modern equivalents, though he is more select about some composers over others. He also spent time in his youth on Vulcan, so traditional Vulcan music has definitely impacted him, and he favors the Vulcan Lute as well as other stringed instruments. Edit: Also loves Phantom of the Opera the Musical/Movie-music adaptation.

      My Human Captain Drake Storm is from the 'City of X' universe, enjoys twentieth century classics in Rock, Synth-Techno (Think Tron) occasionally Metal, definitely Country, as well as a penchant for whatever passes for 'Disney' songs in the STO universe. He's a sucker for romantic songs for sure.

      Would have to think about my other Captains for sure...

      Edit: Hazel, my TOS recruit, would adore Ragtime, Johnny Cash and Elvis, as well as Orchestral music. Musicians like Reba McEntire and Trisha Yearwood would also suite her fancy.
