Poll: How Hard/Heavy do you like your music?

[TeeBs]

I like it all up until 7-ish, then I pretty much stop. Currently, the hardest song I listen to is this one:
That's the exception though, though I do bloody love that song.

Anything harder then Miles Davis makes me cry.

Woah, so even John Coltrane?! Sonny Rollins? Howard Silver? Freddie Hubbard? I mean sure Miles is...well, he's Miles, but still.

*Bawls*
And it was meant as a joke, though I don't really think we should be judging music based on how heavy it is.

Spoiler: Depends on what mood I am in. Sometimes I feel like listening to some Children of Bodom, sometimes Dio.

 

[LoFr3Eq]

Maiden is my fav, but I do love painkiller ^^^

So about 7-9 or so.

 

[Something Amyss]

I'll go anywhere up to 9, maybe dabble in 10. After that, I might as well listen to a trash compactor swallow someone with a severe cold.

 

[Guttural Engagement]

Billions of metric tonnes of 10. A few trillion imperial tonnes of 11.

 

[CrashBang]

I'm at about 9/10 but this is difficult cos there are different types of heavy
For example, I love metalcore and even within this sub-genre there are different levels of heavy. Same with deathcore; I love Suicide Silence but Whitechapel are a bit too heavy for me. I like a lot of stuff that's heavier than Slayer and Anthrax but I don't like Cannibal Corpse so yeah... rant over

 

[rockyoumonkeys]

I like some Slayer, so I can go as high as 9, though my preference will fall a bit lower.

10 and 11 are unlistenable and barely qualify as music.

 

[SaintMorose]

I'd go 1-9.5

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Well I like all of those bands bar the last so I'd say I am willing to go to 10. 10 is my cut off point for heaviness in music. Although I do listen to non heavy music like say BeeGees and Blondie and what not if it comes on.

 

[CarpathianMuffin]

For the most part, 4-10. Carpathian Forest and Bloodbath being about the heaviest that I listen to, though my absolute favorite is still Iron Maiden.
I'd say on average, I listen around the 6-8 range, though it's not rare to see me go beyond that.

 

[Guttural Engagement]

10 and 11 are unlistenable and barely qualify as music.

Lies, all lies. Your opinion on music, and EVERYONE's opinion on music are ENTIRELY subjective.

Rap and Hip-Hop for example, in my opinion, are unlistenable and barely qualify as music.

 

[chaplin]

My music is between 3 and 8, though do like Mastodon's Leviathan which is probably a 9, but that's a rare case.

 

[RanD00M]

I go beyond 11. If 11 is Anal ****, which isn't a serious band, then I go beyond it.

Spoiler: Some examples of the music that I enjoy.

Spoiler: Slaughter of Dreams by Mayhem.

Spoiler: Zombie Nation by Bad Acid Trip

Spoiler: S.B.S.R by Belphegor

Spoiler: Eaten by Bloodbath

 

[PAGEToap44]

5 to about 9.5, because I like SlipKnot. Any heavier than that is a bit too far. but I also like Led Zeppelin.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Well, I like this:


and this:


Take from that what you will, I guess.

 

[blankedboy]

Depends on my mood. Sometimes I like stuff like Smash Mouth, sometimes Shelter Red, and right now, Mundtot... look them up, they are BADASS.

 

[Naheal]

I prefer anything from 8 and below. Some of Nightwish's stuff might end up at about a 9 and, were it not for the lyrics, some of Skillet's stuff could end up being there, too. However, as a Christian band, I have a hard time categorizing Skillet above 8.

Spoiler: Skillet, Monster

Just as an example.

Edit: Fixed it to the better version of Monster.

 

[Andantil]

This scale's only for use with rock/metal genres.

That said, 6-10, though there are exceptions below 6. Anything over 10 is just annoying.
