Poll: Music. What do YOU like?

[NoNameMcgee]

I will listen to anything really but most of my favorite music ends up being mainstream stuff.

Pop, Dance and R&B would be my favourite genres

I'm going to see Lady Gaga in concert next year in March

Yeah, I don't have much in common with people on this forum except for enjoying video games... hah

 

[UltraParanoia]

Metal.

As long as it isn't rocks in a blender vocals or screaming douche preteens trying to pass off as metal. So I pretty much hate: Most modern "metal".

Well, that was simple.

 

[Deleted]

OMG hitting enter while entering stuff in poll = making the poll = FAIL.

Hate it when that happens hah.

I like a lot of different songs, mostly old rap (when it wasn't about chicks, money, and guns. Or just the rapper himself.) and metal like Metallica.

I'm a big fan of Jpop, little known fact, I hide that as my secret pleasure.

 

[Ancientgamer]

There's no "all of the above" option so I'm going with classical

 

[Dr. Gorgenflex]

All of the above would be nice, cause I listen to everything from The Pixies, to Jefferson Airplane, to MSTRKRFT, to Chuck Berry, to Billy Holiday. The one thing I hate is the new stuff that everybody seems to listen to. Its BS and every song sounds the same.

I listen to alot of metal from widespread sub-genres. I also enjoy Jazz, Classical, Blues, Rock and hardcore punk.

But, really? You don't perceive a difference between Death metal and Screamo? They both have different vocal styles and instrument skill requirements. I could understand the lack of ability to tell the difference between death and black metal(Black metal uses mostly shrieks and lacks a good deal of the growls that death metal uses*. Black metal bands often focus on the drums where-as Death metal is on the Bass and drums).

* Death metal also uses conventional vocals more often than their black metal counterpart due to differing vocal styles of the originators of the genres:Chuck Schuldiner/Growls and shrieks(Death) and King Diamond/ Clean falsetto(Mercyful Fate).

I like a little bit of every music genre, primarily my interests revolve around Jazz and all of its sub genres, Experimental/Avant-Garde music, and other genres incorporating such elements. Though, I do indeed listen to a bit of everything, from Hip Hop to Indian Classical, Celtic to Post Rock, Dream Pop to Funk... I just dig it all. Jazz will always be my one true love, however.

 

[knottingam]

My top favorite artists are Between the Buried and Me (progressive metal), Thrice (alternative rock?), Nickel Creek (technical folk/alternative), Al di Meola (flamenco jazz), mewithoutYou (experimental rock; not counting their fourth album), and Queen (opera-pop-rock who knows).

Some genres that I like, with favorite bands from each one:
Metalcore - The Devil Wears Prada, August Burns Red, Norma Jean
Hardcore - Underoath, Maylene and the Sons of Disaster, Showbread, Sleeping Giant
Post-Hardcore - Emery, Dead Poetic
Indie Pop - The Hush Sound
Classic Rock - Journey, The Eagles
Alternative Rock - Thrice, The Almost, Death Cab for Cutie

I also like a little bit of country, with no particular favorite artists. I guess I like at least a little of everything, except j-pop, "fluff" pop (Miley Cyrus, etc.), trance, techno, rap, and hip-hop. Classical music has piqued my interest, but I haven't really checked it out much.

I also want to share this awesome quote that I found on the side of a Starbucks cup that expresses part of my opinion on music:
"Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears -- it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more -- it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity."
--Oliver Sacks, neurologist

 

[knottingam]

metalcore, screamocore, emocore, post-hardcore, where you've got the -core, i'll probably be listening to it.
I especially love the welsh bands, things like funeral for a friend, and bullet for my valentine, yourcodenameis: milo, other great non-welsh bands, i don't know, alesana, emarosa, aiden, drop dead gorgeous, devil wears prada, silverstein, ..tons more.
I'll sometimes listen to the older system of a down stuff. I'll also listen to some pop punk, (alkaline trio).
I always have some metal, and for that in that i listen to Heaven Shall Burn.

Just what are emocore and screamocore?

 

[New York Patrick]

Queen needs it's own catagory.

 

[quack35]

Folk and pop, mostly.

 

[JBarracudaL]

This guy knows what he's talkin' about.
[sub]Have to look up Whitesnake now.[/sub]

The poll has three separate kinds of metal but only one for everything else? Biased much?

No Jazz, Hip Hop, Funk, or Soul options probably confused me more.
Heck, no Pop or Singer/Songwriter options... fuck me.

Sorry, it is a little biased. I started out with only one metal option but there was a bit of complaining on the first page. I changed the options in regard to what people were saying, and nobody chose/said anything about pop, so i replaced it. Also, given the fact that i decided to let my thread take it's own path after i watched it for some odd 10 minutes, I didn't see any feedback on options etc. after that. And another reason it's biased is because i like metal XD.

 

[McGee]

Definitely screamo, hardcore, and grindcore.

 

[Mcface]

Punk Rock.
real punk rock, not that blink 182 crap.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

Varied, but mostly metal, especially melodic death metal, such as In Flames, Children of Bodom, Soilwork, etc. But I listen to most genres.

 

[Mcface]

Punk was cool when the Sex Pistols and the Ramones were doing it

Sex Pistols and Ramones are nothing compared to bands like Jerrys Kids or DOA.

Check out 80's punk, its normally called Hardcore or Hardcore punk, but it has miles more energy than any of the 70s junk.
