Favorite Music Genre

[Renton Whitetail]

The title explains it all. :P

My faves are classical, some pop, some new age, and stage musicals.

[codewolf]

i like a lot of stuff.... really into my old rock atm while doing revision, things like the police, eagles, fleetwood mac, genesis :D

[Darksilver]

New age, Rock, Punk Rock...and you missed METAL! nn/

[brokenfox]

WTH!?!? You don't have Metal on there! Old school rock like the Acid Rock and Anthem Rock from the 60's and 70's is good but the best is Metal. Esspecially Heavy, Speed and Power Metal. Some 80's pop metal and glam rock is good too.

[capthavoc123]

Rock, electronic, and punk rock for me.

Also, yes where the hell is the metal, please? nn/ *w* nn/

[DavidN]

I'd also like to add my lack-of-metal complaint... Rock/Melodic/Other just about covered it, but surely Melodic is a modifier rather than a genre?

[Option7]

I like anything that's good. Simple as that. Although my favourites so to speak are metal (plus some sub-genres) and Hip-Hop.

[Renton Whitetail]

Oops, sorry if I forgot to put in Metal. :oops:

[Itreyu]

Emo, hardcore, screamo, post-hardcore, emocore. Im good with anything cept ALOT of the metal genre.

[jellyhurwit]

I voted Classical, Jazz, Electronic, Funk, Rock, Punk Rock (referring to "classical" Punk, not modern mainstream "Punk") New Age, and Other. Others: [Harsh] Noise, No Wave (I don't really know if these two fit into any of the genres).

"Melodic" music?

[Renton Whitetail]

"Melodic" music?


That's what I found from Wikipedia. :P

[jellyhurwit]

"Melodic" music?


That's what I found from Wikipedia. :P



Melodic music is a term that covers various genres of non-classical music which are primarily characterised by the dominance of a single strong melody line. Rhythm, tempo and beat are subordinate to the melody line or tune, which is generally easily memorable, and followed without great difficulty. Melodic music is found in all parts of the world, overlapping many genres, and may be performed by a singer or orchestra, or a combination of the two.


That seems really vague...
...if a great deal of songs and entire styles (and many of the other genres) of music follow the same concept, why would this be a seperate genre?

[VictusDraconis]

METAL o.o (and industrial)

[Vgm22]

I like a lot of music. Dance/Techno/Rave being my all time favorite and Country being way at the bottom of the list. Dance/Techno/Rave those aren't on the list either.

[Horrorshow]

mathxcore. Not on that list.

[evil_ed667]

I would go with gothic rock if it were on the list. And no, I'm not talking about AFI of HIM because they're not gothic rock! >,..,< I'm talking about '79-83 greats like Bauhaus, Christian Death, Virgin Prunes, Specimen, etc. I actually rarely enjoy modern gothic rock bands because they have none of the energy and creativity of their forefathers. Cinema Strange are one great exception though. But that's the main reason I've formed a gothic rock band of my own; I can give the genre what it needs to be renewed.

Yup, I just HAD to piss off a few people today. xD

[codewolf]

....... Dance/Techno/Rave being my all time favorite ...

agreed
paul oakenfold.... scooter...tangerine dream

and jut to top it off Sash! and pendulum will be playing at my uni on friday
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
(hmm maybe a bit overkil on the emoticons :P)

[Aden]

I'm sure it's been said, but you. Missed. Metal.

You are dead to me.

/Kidding
//Maybe

[Renton Whitetail]

Really, I'm sorry if I forgot to put "Metal" up there. :P *bops himself on the head for being stupid in forgetting to put up "Metal"* :P

[kamunt]

So yes, we've said it thrice+ before, but it bares repeating now: "Metal" get, definitely, and get rid of "Melodic". "Contemporary" could probably be better labeled, but if anything, "Alternative" needs to be added!! Rock or not, 'tis a HUGE category missed. Industrial, too, needs a category of its own. What's also unfair, however, is grouping all electronic music into "Electronic", yet keeping "Punk Rock" separate but equal from "Rock". Surely thou jest? :P If anything, add a "Dance" genre to cover Techno, House, Trance, and potentially IDM & Rave, and then "Electronic(a)" could be used for Drum 'n' Bass/Jungle, Hardcore, IDM, and experimental, et al. Also...I'm not sure, but where exactly would the subgenres Ambient and Trip-Hop fall? Trip-Hop could technically fall under Hip-Hop, but that's not very fair. Would Ambient and Trip-Hop be "Easy Listening"? But...no, no, that doesn't seem right, either. Maybe...maybe add a "Downtempo" category? This could then potentially include crossover genres like Dub and Acid Jazz and Fusion Jazz, as well. In closing, why exactly the hell are "Hip-Hop" and "Rap" split up? :evil: The two are basically used interchangeably nowadays, but last time I checked "Rap" is merely the vocals and "Hip-Hop" is merely the beat, and the two are almost always together. :?

[shetira]

I tend toward classical, melodic and new age, though I'm not really averse to anything... except maybe country.

[Sentient36]

When I was younger, I used to like hip-hop and rap more often. But as soon as I got "MAGIX Music Maker Generation 5" for the PC, I started getting interested into electronic music even more. That's the reason why I tend to kick the ARPEG_E.WAV file up a notch. ;D

For quite some time, I used to have this phobia of electronic music, which includes NFS3: HP for PSX, probably because of its acid and analogue samples. Man, I used to have more fears back in the day... =P Anyway, I sometimes listen to smooth jazz (my mother likes that along with gospel) and rock.

[Ak-Nolij]

I like anything that appeals to me. Whether it be Metal, Classical, Country or even Reggae, if it sounds good, I won't mind listening to it. ^.^

But since I have to really choose..... Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae, Soul, Jazz. What the.... where's Reggaeton!!?? >=o

Anyways, thats just me. And another thing, I think there are way too many sub-genres. It's so confusing trying to figure out if Linkin Park is Alternative, Rock or "Nu Metal". :?

[Starburst]

I like punk, old pop (like, The Monkees kinda pop), and altrock~!

[TwilightFox]

I like Metal, Emo, Punk, Screamo, and Hardcore.

[Aikon]

Other:metal

[Ittan]

... last time I checked "Rap" is merely the vocals and "Hip-Hop" is merely the beat, and the two are almost always together. :?


Well...I like to think that hip-hop has a much larger emphasis on ryming than rap, while rap is...hardcore lets-talk-about-how-gangsta-I-am stuff. Hip-hop = Beastie Boys -- Rap = 50 cent.

I think that'll do.

I love everything up there, my musical taste is more dependant on artist, and my mood.

[InnocentSoulOnFire]

Heavy metal, some country and rap,Punk rock, 80's rock, and anything loud

[InnocentSoulOnFire]

I think its rock and thats it but not sure

[Starburst]

Easy thing to figure out; if you don't know -what- genre of rock something is, you can generally lump it in alternative and it works.

[caguaswolf]

punk Reggaeton and Hip hop are mine!

[dz]

Drum n Bass/jungle is my favorite!

I also like Hardcore Gabber and Chicago Hard House [Jumpstyle]. I like Dutch stuff x3

I like rock [basically any subgenre of rock too], ambient, intelligent hip-hop, breakbeat, and a bunch of other genres as well.

[1-2-Blame]

I listun to rap but smh @ the person who mentioned 50 cent.. he got no lyrical skillz whatsoever

real rap is Cassidy, Jadakiss, Nas, some JayZ etc.

theres very little rappers with talent out there... lil wayne iz just a homo. Diddy? all he got is money T.I. is my fav but lately he's lackin big time

[Rilvor]

Rock, Metal, Techno, Trance, and even known to like Classical :P

[kamunt]

Ah, that's right, I never said what genres I like. :oops: Well, I voted for
R&B, Soul, Rock, Electronic, Hip-Hop, Rap, Contemporary, & Other, but I admittedly also like Punk Rock and Pop. Not ALL Pop, though! I'm embarrassed to say Pop sometimes because of what's often associated with it, and I really shouldn't even say I "like" Pop. It's really more "fairly tolerable" than "likable" to me.
Like, I cannot and hopefully never will stand garbage like Cherish, Paris Hilton (B.A.R.F.), Dem Franchise Boyz, D4L (UUUGGHHH!), Generic Emo Bands #022-134, 142-167 & 177, Akon.... Now, Akon, I'll respect his production history. But he's a phony R&B artist. He's got pitch control and a voice to make them galz go "EEEE~!" with glee--that's it, nothing more, nothing less. His voice isn't good and he usually doesn't sing good, either. The only song by him I can tolerate is "Lonely", because the message is pretty decent. :) The Generic Emo Bands, I'll give them -slightly- more credit than Generic Female Pop Singer or Generic 1-Hit Wonder Rap "Artist" (because, my GOD, there isn't enough of them already, gawdammit...YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE), because they at least have to know how to play an instrument. That takes SOME talent, yes. But talent otherwise seems to leave these bands as the churn out more maximum 3:30-short singles than you can shake an old, moldy, furry green stick at. The lyrics are ALWAYS about the EXACT SAME FRICKING THINGS!!. Oh my God, it's so pathetic. It's always about girls, girls and suicide, or just suicide in general, or maybe a good new-fashioned /cutwrist, or perhaps even *gasp* the social problems associated with rich, white-as-snow teenagers!
Rrr, ahem *clears his throat* brr-hrrhem. Sorry about that, I go off the handle at random points in times sometimes. ^v^;

[Ittan]

Just the first thing that came to my mind, my mom listens to him, and I definately agree with that statement!

[CommodoreKitty]

I picked classical and rock, as those are the only types of music I can stand to listen too. I despise rap, hip hop, punk, blues, country *sigh* jazz, soul, techno, etc. And even then I only listen to a few songs over and over again.Very limited music exposure. Moonlight sonata ftw!

[umdie80weiss]

Well i voted other ( Heavy Metal, Gothic, Trash metal,Power metal)

[Starburst]

When I say I like pop, I mean, I like power pop, which is stuff like The Click Five and Fountains of Wayne

[mrchris]

How the hell could you forget METAL??

Death metal is my predominant listening pleasure, followed by folk metal and thrash metal.

None of this pussyass shit you see on TV or hear on Clear Channel controlled radio.

[Annodam]

I Like All Danceble Music Genres.

[Corbenik]

Electronic and Others.

[wolfspartner]

Rap and R&B

[wolfspartner]

Goth/Industrial for me.

[reddeath909]

Um... Whatever catches my inner beat :P

[RatchetSly]

My favorite music artists are, in no real order:

Radiohead, White Stripes, REM, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Paul Oakenfold, Meat Beat Manifesto, Chemical Brothers, Moby, Orbital, No Doubt, k-os, The Box, Talking Heads, Barenaked Ladies, and... well, my brain isn't functionning that well right now. I'll list the rest later when I remember them. xD

[Chi_Mangetsu]

Well, the current cds in my car's 4 disc cd player are: S.C.I.E.N.C.E. - Incubus, Costello Music - The Fratellis, Make Yourself - Incubus, and Stereo Type A - Cibo Matto.
So by far, rock music. Although I might pull one of my Incubus cds if I buy the new White Stripes cd. "Icky Thump" is ridiculously dancible/rock-outable.

[Nyte the Kingcheetah]

Progressive, Shred, Power, Thrash, Black and Heavy Metal ^.^

[Krakajack]

Siouxsie and the banshees
Sisters of Mercy
Bauhaus
The Cure
Type O Negative

My mum listenes to these bands, I suppose they transferred themselves to me, turning into my parents already. :roll:
As for my own uninfluenced taste:

Muse
VNV Nation
Art Of Fighters
Iron Maiden
Gorillaz
Cruxshadows

Not many but if I had too many it would be too expensive to buy all the albums, especially since some have released so many, I'm looking at you Iron Maiden.

[Angrhiel]

I am fond of both pop and rock...
Well... I can actually listen to anything as long as it has a decent beat to it.
But I like pop the most *gets shot*

[Spinal]

Rap and hip hop are listed as two different genres, someone needs to fix that

[Jake]

It would have to be Ska! or...wait..no...hard rock!! no...D=
Can't decide whether it's Ska or Hard Rock x.x so both! =P

[Nollix]

Classic rock, thrash metal, groove metal, speed metal, just plain metal basically, blues, blues-rock, hard rock, some glam metal, shock rock (Like Alice Cooper or King Diamond), some shred stuff, jazz, rap/hip hop, techno, prog rock/metal, and whatever genre Buckethead falls into.

[Wolfguy]

Oldies rock (Buddy Holly, Beach Boys, etc) mainly, but I do like some new(er) rock like Linkin Park and Metallica. I like a little bit of Pink Floyd.

[coffinberry]

I mostly listen to EBM/synthpop/industrial/noise, but I ADORE classic rock! Oh and I've been loving this website: pandora.com
It'll match what type of music you like and play it as streaming radio.

[Jake]

To bad it's States only =(

Upset me when that happened, now i'm stuck with Last.FM interwebz radio

[coffinberry]

Aw, have you tried shoutcast.com?

[Sean Cross]

I'm really into all of the mainstream stuff + anything that has a good beat (I like to dance lots) and anything that has extraordinary singing (I like American idol), so pop, hip-hop, R&B, a bit of soul, a bit of classical, some techno, some dance, some rock... but mostly the first three. (I don't know why, but I like Fergie lots... hehe... go men who listen to fergie!)

[Poink]

Everything that's loud and that could annoy my neighbours.
