Poll: Music. What do YOU like?

[-Orgasmatron-]

Epic fail.

OP puts like 4 different types of metal and no hip-hop. What a joker.

EDIT: I've changed a few things to account for genres that i didn't think were very popular, but i guess are. I.E. Rap has been removed, for uber shittiness,

You know, I think you can quite possibly go get fucked. "Uber shittiness"... You seem to have no clue what the hell you are talking about, and with a closed mind like that you shouldn't even be asking the damn question. Personally I find "heavy" metal (I don't get this whole "power/death/black/dark/plated" metal... I've yet to meet someone who can tell me the difference between Black, Dark and Death.) a load of rubbish, seeming to consist mostly of screaming at the mic. But you know what? I don't condemn it. Why? Because there's a chance I might be listening to the wrong track.

Seriously man, not all rap is guns, bitches and bling, in the same way that not all metal is flailing wildly at a guitar whilst reciting the lords prayer backwards.

 

[FightThePower]

Only 6% like Electronic music?

You disappoint me.

 

[bcponpcp27]

Classic rock. I love it so much.

My favorite band would have to be Queen. Everything that they did was amazing. Freddie Mercury FOREVER!

 

[Nouw]

Symphonic Power Metal.

Emerald Sword. Nuff said

[Gene O]

Since there wasn't a catagory for 'satire' or 'witty and bitter women with ungodly sexy voices' I went with punk rock.

 

[Mozared]

I listen to anything on your poll except for classical (unless the occasional movie soundtrack goes). Also, ska and reggae are missing.

 

[Earthbound Engineer]

This poll is slightly biased is favor of rock, however I don't care because it doesn't affect me.

My favorite genre is Grunge, which is technically considered punk. My favorite bands are Foo Fighters, Puddle of Mudd, The Offspring, Three Days Grace, and of course, my personal favorite, the first and best grunge band in existence: NIRVANA.

Grunge has little to do with punk. It is best described as Alternative Rock.

It has it's roots in hard rock or heavy metal at the time. It progressed from wanting to retain the feel of angsty metal but cutting the excess.

Alternative Rock was formed, and the term 'grunge' coined by Mark Arm of Mudhoney, (but before he formed them) and it was used to describe most of the similar sounding bands that came from Seattle... Nirvana (who most certainly did not start grunge, they merely became the largest commercially), Alice in Chains, Mother Love Bone (later became Pearl Jam), Mudhoney and Sound Garden.

Yes, I'm quite aware of this. Perhaps I stated my post incorrectly when I said Nirvana was the "first" Grunge band, while what I meant was they were one of the grandfathers of the Grunge movement. But yes, Grunge was around before the grunge movement, however was not popular, and probably would be known today as "indie" if it were not for bands such as Nirvana and Pearl Jam who were commercially successful.

And although grunge is technically a sub-genre of alternative rock, it was largely inspired by punk rock with bands such as the Vaselines, Sonic Youth, and R.E.M. The entire "grunge sound" has traces of punk in it.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

I said other, there's no Alternative or Folk on the list. Fleet Foxes, The Tallest Man On Earth, Johnny Flynn, TV On The Radio, so on and so forth.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I listen to literally everything. Examples?

Disturbed
Nightwish
Evanscence
Within Temptation
Avril Lavigne
Nickelback
Il Divo
Josh Groban
Three Days Grace
Celine Dion
The Pussycat Dolls
Eminem
Taylor Swift
Rob Zombie

And the list goes on. I have about sixty rap CDs however I rarely listen to rap these days. Additionally I have been spamming video game themes more frequently, specifically Final Fantasy X, Chrono Cross and Valkyria Cronicles. I have select favorites from Xenogears, Suikoden II, FFX-2, FFVIII and a few other games and currently have the two opening themes to the anime Higurashi and have played them relentlessly.

My top played song as of this day is "Suteki da Ne" from Final Fantasy X, which I have played over nine hundred times. Disturbed ranks has my most played band; having been played well in excess of twenty thousand times by now.

 

[A Satanic Panda]

Heavy metal and some a little punk rock too, like the sex pistols.

 

[The Eaten Cake]

A lot of stuff, really. I love rock and metal, but I'm also rather into blues and jazz. I'm listening to some Iron Maiden right now.
