What type of music do you listen to?

Ill set up a poll later until I gather enough genres for now help me out with posting a few genres(if its no problem) and the one you choose.
There is most likely another thread about this but just wondering.
I can't put in all music types so general stuff. You can get all specific in your post. Its okay if you post bands that you like too.
Put combinations
Metal + Punk = Thrash
Metal + Classical + Some Other stuff = Power Metal
Metal + Rap = A combonation of Metal and Rap
Come up with your own this took me a lot of time.

 

Heheh... I listen to a bunch of stuff that no one has probably even heard of (not just artists, entire genres that people will be scratching their heads over, lol)... and I am going to "label" myself here... almost always industrial, but also: terror, EBM, elektro, darkwave/grindcore, some rock, a tonne of punk and ska, an ennsey bit of thrash, almost any classic classical and quite a bit of contemporary classical, futurepop, electropunk, a hint of rap/hip-hop, a smidge of grunge, metal as long as it's industrial metal. Also am a closet J-Rock fan. (Yep, I'm a complete audiophile!) ;D

 

Well I'll give the usual answer...all kinds. You should see my ipod. You couldn't pin one genre on me. In the car if I have the radio on its strictly Country, probably one of the top genres I listen to. If its the ipod then its anything from Country, to rap, to classic rock, to reggae, to dance/trance club type.

The only stuff I won't listen to is Emo/Screamo and like heavy death metal.

 

Classic Rock (Led Zeppelin, The Who, The Doors), Blues (Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters), and of course, people who played in both such as JimI Hendrix, Eric Clapton, etc.

 

rock rap metal pop

 

Classical, and contemporary piano (not keyboard)

A capella anything, Classic Lieder (german songs) and Arias (italian songs)

Basically anything written before the USA was founded

 

Everything from the very classical to some rap and hard rock. I mostly stick to light rock and easy listening, but it just depends on the mood. When I am really annoyed/angry I go for fast beat songs that play into that mood, and the opposite is true for when the mellow feelings are there.

Some of my favorites are:

Melissa Ethridge
Tracy Chapman
Nickelcreek
U2
Uncle Kracker
Josh Groban
Weird Al
Queen
Hinder
Allison Kraus
Kid Rock
TI'm Mcgraw's song with Nelli, I think it was? (That's a good one)
I like a few of Dolly Parton's songs.
Cathy Ryan (Irish folk artist)
Cathy Mattea

... well the list could keep going for hours, so I will call this a very abbreviated list and stop there.

 

I listen to a wide range of music. I enjoy the 70s and 80s as much as I enjoy the music today. I'm a pretty big fan of rap but lately ive been into Seether and AlterBridge.. I like the ICP.. but I also enjoy a good garth brooks tune..

 

Too much Coldplay, a bit of Guellimots, Newton faulkner, John butler trio and soemtimes Dragonforce... IE lots of indie, a bit of rock and not much else!

 

ska, punk...skunk? haha. sometimes swing and dixie, the 'classic' emo (screamo drives me nuts, it's like drowning cats!), and even a little electronic music like the postal service.

 

Everything. And I mean it. My friends listen to a very eclectic bunch of genres which I pick up on. So one day you might hear Chris Thile and his mandolin the next KMFDM. I make room for popular music so I don't get too old or become that music snob. I sold CD's at a certain blue and yellow retailer thru college so it fed my habit.

Note: Two exceptions. I can't take party rap or noise-music, they are both brainless.

 

I use to listen to music a lot when I was younger. I can't remember the last time I even liked a song. I usually choose rock, alternative or punk over everything else. Most music gets on my nerves. Gangsta rap has got to go.

 

Yes...
...
...
...
What, that wasn't a yes or no question? I thought it was.
My iTunes account (before I lost all my songs) had every genre of music in it. I listen to them all. Two of the least listened to are country and blues.

Metal figures in heavy on my list, as does goth (I'm old enough that "goth" covers most of the oddities in Devon's list ), rave (mostly happy hardcore, with a little trance, and I'm old enough that "rave" covers a few more oddities from Devon's list), techno/electronica (and, yes, I'm old enough that this covers most of the rest from Devon's list ;p), pop-ska (I was more into early No Doubt and Reel Big Fish than the hardcore ska bands), rap (old-school and intelligent. Most of today's rappers are lazy ), industrial, and, because they deserve their own genre: Dragonforce. ;D

 

Country.....I like oldies and rock too.....Can't stand rap but open to most anything else....

Chief......I LOVE Allison Kraus too! I have every CD she ever did including the song with Brad Paisley "Whiskey Lullabye" which is one of my favorite songs..

 

Some of this music makes me a little mental in the face.
Metal(almost all kinds not death and black)
Classic Rock
Classical(such as Beethoven)
The old rap when the freaks came out at night(still do) and when there was rap machines and rage against the machine.
(I wanted to bring out extreme metal which is kind of hard to understand but then you read the lyrics but Power Metal would have to be my the only one I listen to and it falls under metal)
That's one weird looking list.

 

listen to mostly rap

fav artist: lil' wayne

Maybe its just me but I liked Wayne's older stuff personally. And i'd rather have him as a featured artist on a song rather then the main artist on the song.

Whiskey Lullabye is one of my most listened to songs on my mp3 player. (It is so nice to get lost in the mp3 player while spending that hour or more on the treadmill. )

 

I really like Robert Plant and Allison Krauss' CD. It gets a solid 8/10 for me

 

I like Jazz, Classical, and progged metal.

 

I like it all..as long as I can understand the words...I'm a huge 80's freak but now I'm mostly a "country belle"

cant ya see me twirling my umbrella and batting my eyelashes? ;D

:;kmg You gotta be specific!!

Shawnie, you forgot to mention sipping a Mint Julep!

 

No need to be specific, when I listen to all of it.

Oh, yeah, and there's another two genres (specific this time) that I can't believe I forgot.

The first is Scandinavian metal: Sirenia, Nightwish, etc... Being a gamer geek, the fantasy elements of these groups makes them that much greater.

The second is Danish Pop: Aqua, Lene (sans Rene et al), Daze, and Toy Box. These groups may have some of the most insipid songs in existence (Yay for Barbie Girl!!!), but I absolutely love them. Lene is likely my favorite singer, never mind just how wrong It's Your Duty is.

 

What??? No classical?

 

Classical, mainly pipe organ, string orchestras, violin, and piano.
but I laso like any song that can tell a good story, like a new age ballad.

 

I usually listen to a mix of metal and classic rock like AC/DC Ozzy and Aerosmith. Some of my favorite bands include the following:
Dethklok
Dragonforce
Disturbed
Slipknot
Killswitch Engage
Guns and Roses
Lamb of God
Korn
Lordi
Metalica
Megadeath
Pantera
Rage against the Machine
Shadows Fall
Ozzy
AC/DC
Aerosmith
Buckethead
and so on and so on and so on........

 

You forgot country!

 

Loves country also , you should see my cd collection , its unreal, keith urban, james otto!

 

classic rock
classical music
buckethead

 

I've always loved big band/swing and crooners since I was a kid. I love the easy going, charismatic feel of it. Fav crooner - ol' blue eyes! Also like listening to Ella and Michael Buble. At the mo' though I'm into a 90's swing band called, The W's.

 

<--- punk

 

I'm a HUGE music fan!
My favorite genre is progressive rock. I also love classic rock and pretty much rock of any form, metal and many of its subgenres, jazz and many of its subgenres (jazz fusion, etc), blues.
I don't like rap, hip hop, country, or techno/electronica. I also don't like music that is nothing more than a medium of entertainment and moneymaking, rather than a form of art.
Basically, to me music is more than just something to listen to, it's an art to enjoy and contemplate. ;D

EDIT: whoops, I forgot to mention I love classical and folk as well. I've played instruments most of my life, and the basis of music as we know it was in classical!

 

essentially anything that's not rap, pop, emo or country

I despise the whole much music type stuff or pretty much anything on mainstream radio

I'm a metalhead at heart though but don't get me wrong I like softer stuff too you know stuff that's really mellow:nopity:

 

We obviously have a lot more in common than just Pink Floyd, goggles2

 

we sure do its rare I find someone with similar taste in music

 

Same here. It's a shame

 

truly

 

and the basis of music as we know it was in classical!

I disagree. The basis of music as we know it began at least a century before classical music became formalized (and that's only what we have record of. Because music was passed on person-to-person rather than on paper, we have spotty records of it). Gregorian chant is potentially a millennium old or more. Relatively organized secular music (think wandering minstrels) is traceable back to the beginning of the Renaissance (1400). Some secular music is traced back to 1300.
Even sheet music is traceable further back than the beginning of the Renaissance.
Modern music more follows these older modes of music (vocals supported by a small number of instruments) than it does classical (large number of instruments that may, or may not, have vocals included.

None of this means I have anything against classical music. Just that I have a very strong appreciation for the older forms of music.

I thought someone was gonna catch me on that. I should have said, it's the archetype of music that I know well.

Ah, can't argue with that, then. ;D
As I said above (somewhere or another), I listen to everything. There are, of course, genres that I like better than others, but I listen to so much that I've ended up learning about the very basics of music (back to the point where music was simply rhythm and nothing else. It still exists, albeit in an incredibly refined form, in taiko drumming. There are also African tribal drum groups)
