That would suit Equestria I think.

I can imagine Twilight liking symphonic metal. And Kamelot (called Kanterlot in Equestria obviously). And similar "epic"-sounding music.

Pinkie Pie likes.... everything. Fluttershy likes relaxing music. And surprisingly, Folk Metal. Rarity likes classical, AJ likes bluegrass and southern-sounding rock, and Rainbow Dash is a metalhead.

Okay, I couldn't find the whole thing, but I did find transcripts of some questions from the early supposed leak (which Sibsy and Nayuki have both stated is most likely fake).

It called Discord a pony, which is only true about his head.

Applelight, are you sure you aren't confusing this with the other early leak◊, which was very detailed and pretty much completely accurate?

Fluttershy likes silence I see.

Yeah I must have mixed it up.

Ahh, old rumors...anyone else remember George Lopez as the voice of Discord?

That's wikipedia though. I can trust wikipedia, but only if there's citations and external links.

I suspect Fluttershy would like cool, calming music. Nujabes comes to mind.

Emancipator.

Heh might as well get a word in on the Mane cast music taste. So. . .

Applejack? Something like this. . .

Rainbow Dash? Definitely this. . .

Twilight? I guess this. . .

Rarity? Ummm. . .this?

Pinkie Pie? Yeah, I don't think she would care as long as you can dance. . .

I'm not even going to look for something for Fluttershy.

Some good stuff, postman. I think I might look up more of this Emancipator.

Thanks!

Can I just say that I really loved the ending part of the most recent song?

The way it builds up a triumphant-sounding crecendo, making you think that she's going to manage to get everything done, only for it to fade out sadly as she collapses. I'm not sure if "powerful" is the right word for that. Maybe "expressive", but it certainly works.

I wonder if Twilight would like educational songs, such as Schoolhouse Rock and that Tom Lehrer song where he lists all the elements? Only Equestria's equivalent would be songs that explain spells and that kind of thing.

In "Sweet and Elite, " what do you think happened when the others eventually found out that Opal wasn't sick? Or do you think they would have just assumed she got better and never found out she was sick in the first place? I think some of them (especially Applejack) would have been at least a little annoyed at her for lying but also there could have been some relief that her cat was okay and understanding that she got distracted (since they all know the kind of things Rarity likes would be all the fancy events she went to).

I feel like Twilight would like Progressive Rock; lots of musical complexity to analyze and such. Like maybe Yes, Rush, or Porcupine Tree.

Pinkie obviously listens to "Weird Al" Yankovic and They Might Be Giants.

They'd probably be a bit miffed at worst; I think they'd probably understand the stress that Rarity was under. Especially given that Twilight has done much worse for smaller reasons.

I know its been hours since I commented (the equivalent of a lifetime in this thread) but I can't get off the whole idea of Ponies and Resident Evil

So I present to you the following brainfart:

Resident Ponyvil

"whew!" said Rarity. "I'm glad we made it to this mansion!"

Then Applejack looked around. "Hey, where's Pinkie?"

Twilight shook her head. "It's hard to say, but she's probably..."

Then they hear the distinct sound of a Party Cannon off in the distance.

"What was that?" Rarity asked.

Twilight said "Rarity, you go and check."

Applejack said "Ahm goin' too! Pinkie's our old partner ya know!"

* * *

Applejack handed Rarity a lockpick and said "Here, take this. It might be better for you, the Master of Unlocking, to have this."

"And how exactly does a pony pick locks?"

"With Friendship!"

"Friendship?"

"Yeah. Friendship is magic, ya know!"

* * *

Suddenly Rarity turned and fired. A dog whimpered just offscreen.

Applejack wanted to know "How did ya'll know it was there? I can't see anything from this camera angle!"

"Oh Applejack. After awhile, you start to get a sense for it." then Rarity fired another shot, the dog whimpered once more, and never rose again.

Applejack could only complain "Man, whah couldn't this be a parody of the newfangled Resident Evils with the over-the-shoulder camera..."

"Oh, you're just unskilled!" Rarity claimed right before she headed through a door. Applejack heard her fire more shots in the next room.

* * *

"Twilight Sparkle! So YOU'RE behind all of this!"

"Yes!" Twilight said, "This whole thing was a plot so I could steal the T-Virus and sell it on the black market!"

Rarity rolled her eyes. "Twi, you're the student of a goddess and you personally know someone whose talent is digging up diamonds. Why pray tell would you need to make money on the black market."

That stumped Twilight. "Umm... well... because Friendship is Magic! That's why!"

"I suppose you wouldn't believe me if I said Tyrant was going to impale you at any moment."

Now it was Twilight's turn to roll her eyes. "Oh Rarity, you're so naive."

"So you don't believe me."

"No, it's just that I know I'll come back inexplicably alive a few games from now. Also I have a picture of Rainbow Dash in a basketball uniform in my desk at the police station."

That got Rarity to raise her eyebrows.

Then Tyrant impaled Twilight Sparkle. But it was okay, because she'd be alive again a few games from now.

... Yeah, I'm done posting fanfiction in the wrong thread. Continue your regularly scheduled discussion. (and anyone who would honestly like to see me try to turn this into a real 'fic, raise your hoof)

I suspect this would be Twilight's favourite song.

Hey storyyeller, how did you compile your data exactly? Do you have access to the database or something? Because that's just too inhuman to be done manually. Dang man.

@Count Dorku: I mentioned that song as being one Twilight might like too.

How come most of the residents of Canterlot appear to be unicorns with some earth ponies mixed in? Do pegasi typically not care for high society?

I would imagine Pegasi love high society. Just, ya know, they love the kind that's... high.

I wrote a Python script which downloads and parses each page of the thread.

Most of their population is focused in Cloudsdale, which leaves Earth Ponies and Unicorns in greater percentages elsewhere.

edited 7th Dec '11 9:05:04 PM by JapaneseTeeth

Yeah, that's what I said. Pegasi prefer high society.

Pegausii seem like they would often be high.

@Rainbow: I've kind of got into the habit of skimming the thread rather than reading each post. (I skip most pages since I know if I stop to read them I'll never catch up again.) So I probably just skimmed over yours, sorry.

Well, there was... a pegasus in the last episode, during the song.
