Poll: What Genre/'s do you listen to?

[Trotgar]

Progressive Rock/Metal mostly, but I don't really care what genre is it in, as long as it's good.

My favourite bands are:

1. Porcupine Tree
2. Opeth
3. Dream Theater (this would be tied with Porcupine Tree if I didn't hate DT's newest albums (Systematic Chaos and Black Clouds & Silver Linings).

 

[Guttural Engagement]

Hey everyone; I'm making this thread cause I was wondering what kind of music people on the escapist listen to.

Myself; I listen to Black Metal, Death Metal, Grindcore, and Dubstep; and the occasional Rap/Hip-Hop.

Oh, I forgot to mention; I also listen to a lot of 60's 70's and 80's classic rock. Most of it being phycadellic.

Oh, and one of my favorite bands that I completely forgot about because I wasn't stoned when I created this topic - is... PINK FLOYD!

ALL HAIL PINK FLOYD!

and Strawberry Alarmclock; and last but not least Jimmy Hendrix

 

[WhoaItsBrett]

Punk, Hard Rock, Rock, Alternative, Oldies, Groove Metal, Death Metal, Thrash, Rap, Hip-Hop, Heavy Metal, Industrial, Techno.
Just about every Genre of music, except Country, for some reason I've never been able to get in to that.

 

[Assassin Xaero]

Fail poll. Why the hell is metal split up, especially when a ton of genres are missing (like country)? And rap/pop are the same option? Yeah, they both suck, but they are a lot more different than metal sub genres are. And speaking of sub genres, extreme metal is a sub genre itself, and typically includes thrash metal, which you put as a different option.

Anyway... I listen to pretty much any kind of metal, except that poor excuse for metal shit on the radio (like Disturbed). Also listen to rock, punk (not even the poll either), and other stuff...

 

[DreadfulSorry]

There should be an "all of the above" category!

But if I had to choose one, it's probably electronic. I've been listening to mostly ambient and drill & bass stuff right now, although some trip hop has been finding its way into my Pandora stations, and that's pretty intriguing too...

 

[Distorted Stu]

Hardcore Techno, Gabber (Anything int he techno genre really ranging from minimal trance to speedcore), punk, industrial rock, nu-metal, metal, rap, hop hop and chill out. I have a broad style. Anythign aslogn as its not RnB or mainstream shit.

I figured il add this. Its the song that got me into gabber/hardcore techno:

 

[Xeros]

Primarily I listen to Industrial Metal, but in some form I listen to everything.

 

[electronictiger]

Metal, techno and industrial are the only genres I listen to anymore.

 

[Lemon Of Life]

Everything except metal. What is industrial??

you really cant claim to like everything accept metal when you dont know whats industrial.

I didn't know what it was, so I might listen to it, as I listen to a massive variety of music, so I didn't want to rule it out. You could have given a more helpful reply instead of being snobbish.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

you dont have emo or screamo :0 those are the best ever or punk D:

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Anything with a good vocalist. ex- I don't listen to death/black metal or techno. Which rarely, if ever have good vocalists or even vocalists. The instruments come second.

 

[Deadlock Radium]

I mostly listen to Melodic Death Metal, like In Flames, Soilwork, Scar Symmetry, Opeth and things like that. I also listen a lot to classic rock bands, like Guns N' Roses, Zeppelin, Dire Straits etc.

 

[Koganesaga]

Honestly I like Jrock, the music is so chaotic and evil sounding without the excessive effort that metal seems to put in. It probably helps that I usually can't understand what they're saying but the Japanese voices seem to add to the harmony of the music itself. In particular, Janne de arc, is a great artist, found one of his songs attached to a youtube fan video and it was love at first string.

Other than that, alternative isn't bad, but rap, I dunno if it's the people singing it or the music itself, but it makes me want to kill the people who listen too it, and then I could say gansta rap made me do it.

 

[sean.A7x]

Metal Avenged sevenfold mainly and journey

 

[robinkom]

I chose None of the Above/Other so that I can be specific. I have a very broad taste in music and this all might not sound like it goes together... but this is me after all. My preferred genres are as follows in no particular order:

Heavy Metal - (Saxon, Iron Maiden, Armored Saint, etc.)
Speed/Thrash Metal - (Anthrax, Metal Church, Sanctuary, etc.)
Power Metal - (Helloween, Gamma Ray, Yngwie Malmsteen, etc.)
True Metal - (Manowar, Sacred Steel, etc.)
Death Metal - (Random bands. Because it's funny to me, it sounds like a parody of other Metal sub-genres.)
"Rock Opera" style Metal - (Savatage, Avantasia, Shadow Gallery, etc.)
Progressive Metal - (Fates Warning, Queensryche, Dream Theater, etc.)
Christian Metal - (Stryper, Bloodgood, etc.)
Hair Metal - (Aldo Nova, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake, etc.)

Classic Rock - (Led Zeppelin, Uriah Heep, Fleetwood Mac, etc.)
Shock Rock - (Alice Cooper, W.A.S.P., Lizzy Borden, etc.)

Classic Grunge - (Early Soundgarden and Pearl Jam.)

Old-School Hip-Hop - (Sugarhill Gang, Run DMC, The Fatboys, etc.)
Old-School Hardcore Rap - (NWA, Body Count, Public Enemy, etc.)
Late 70s-80s Pop/Rock Music - (Teena Marie, Stevie Nicks, Michael Jackson, etc.)
New Wave - (Psuedo Echo, The Cars, To the Power of 3, etc.)
Disco - (Bee Gees, Vicky Sue Robinson, Christopher Cross, etc.)

...

Absolutely NO Country Music! I'm open to a lot of styles... BUT THAT.

No Emo/Screamo either. If you're gonna kill yourselves, get on with it already so I don't have to hear you whine anymore.

 

[mbourgon]

Progressive rock/metal of any type. Anything from 1970's Italian Symphonic (RDM, PFM, Banco) to technical death (Meshuggah, Cynic, Ephel Duath)

 

[Nigh Invulnerable]

In the metal spectrum:

Industrial Metal (Godflesh, Killing Joke, Biogeek)

Stoner/Doom Metal (Electric Wizard, early Black Sabbath, Kyuss)

Folk Metal, some of it. (Alestorm, Korpiklaani, Flogging Molly.FM are punk really, but there isn't really a folk-punk so I'm including them here)

Grindcore (Napalm Death, SOB, Extreme Noise Terror)

Ambient Metal (Jesu)

In the punk spectrum:

Some classic punk (The Stiff Little Fingers, Metal Urbain)

Post Punk (The Birthday Party, Gang Of Four, Wire)

Noise Punk (Big Black, Scratch Acid, Pussy Galore, Boredoms)

And otherwise, things like

Industrial Electronic (Cabaret Voltaire, Skinny Puppy, Chrome)

Dub influence punk and metal (Public Image Limited, late Godflesh)

Dark Ambient (Whitehouse, Final)

I listen to plenty of other stuff, but these are the big ones.

If I'm ever on the Emerald Isle I'll have to meet up with you and talk random music and games, you fiendish devil of a man. Likewise, if you're ever headed to the Emerald City here in he states feel free to drop me a line. We will rock!

OT: I'm definitely into metal as my primary genre, but there are tons of subgenres withing metal, so I'm not going to cover those specifically. Here's what I've been listening to recently:
High on Fire-Snakes for the Divine
Clutch-entire discography
Mastodon-Crack the Skye+ rest of discography
Jonas Hellborg-Octave of the Holy Innocents
Stanton Moore Trio-Emphasis on the Parenthesis
Strapping Young Lad-Alien
Amon Amarth-Twilight of the Thunder God
Kalmah-The Black Waltz
Pig Destroyer-Terrifyer
Ministry-Complete discography

 

[TheEarlOfGrey]

I like how regular rock isn't even a genre now. Anyway I listen to a lot of 'love metal'...which basicaly means HIM...because they created the genre themselves and no other band has seemingly took the genre up too.
