Lizard_King Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 I voted for other, because it's just to hard to pick one style of music. I listen to a wide variety of music, though I have to say it's mainly classic rock, blues, 80's rock, and metal. But sometimes I like just sitting down and jamming on the acoustic for hours upon end . I lean more towards blues and classic rock though. EDIT----What about country, and disco?

Lizard_King ← That depends... do Jamiroquai and P-Funk count as disco? Heh. I already voted for blues, but I'll donate a half a vote to disco if they count .

Drak Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 You'd be hard-pressed to name a type of music I DON'T like, I like music like people like food. You eat only cheesburgers your whole life? I probably like almost -every- -single- type of music out there, past and present, that you could possibly throw at me. It would take me more than a page or two to list them all, and I know I would leave something out, so I won't even bother trying. Music just runs thru my soul like water covers the Earth, it doesn't matter what form or variety, I like it and listen to it. I certainly don't like every BAND out there, but I probably like every form of music GENRE you could possibly name. The expression of music, taken at it's most basic primitive level, just resonates within me, no matter what the source, country, or instrument. If I listen to it long enough, I will find some part of it that I like. I love music as a whole, as an entire dinner from entre to every item on the main course to dessert to the after-dessert apartife, I enjoy it all. A lot of people classify who they 'are' thru the music they like, like a metalhead will identify themselves with other metalheads and become physically ill if taken to an opera. Not me. I can easily switch from the deepest oldest Appalachian Bluegrass to the most ecclectic French synthesizer-based Space music to the funkiest Mexican siesta music to Australian Indie music to ad inifinitum ad nauseum...Man, I just loves me some day-um music!

stiggz Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 i like most kinds of music, the exception being METAL. i hate it!! the heavy distortion and constant lack of vocal talent really makes me want to punch someone. however i do like (in moderation) some static x and SOAD (phsycing up for rugby) and some mainstream like fatboy slim (he has some funny songs). i like most things from the eagles to santana to Guns 'n roses. most old rock type stuff i like, led zeppelin, deep purple etc. dont mind a bit of the old banjo either. thats all from me luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MzI Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I like mainly thrash metal, MetallicA and Megadeth. At the same time I like dream theater and symphony x as well as classic rock like zeppelin and sabbath. I also enjoy classical and romantic MzI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dangerouso Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I voted metal, but I suppose I could sub-class to shred. I don't know if he really counts as shred in my book, but my favorite player is Eric Johnson. I guess he really wouldn't be metal either. I like Satriani, Joe Stump, Vinnie Moore, Steve Morse, several other "shred" type guys. Band-wise I'd have to say my favorite bands are mostly '80s/early '90s era hair bands. VH, White Lion, Motley, Poison etc. I also like Monte Montgomery, Tommy Emmanuel, Charlie Hunter, KWS, Joe Bonamassa, Acoustic Alchemy, etc. Anything with some guitar that catches my ear for whatever reason. Hell, I even like the Indigo Girls. As far as the new stuff, I like Magic Elf, Shadows Fall, Lamb of God. Reminds me of the good old Metallica/Death Angel/Megadeth/Exodus/Anthrax days.

antique_dream Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I'm mostly listening to jazz and classical right now, (that's what I'm studying), but I have a huge collection of music, indian music, classical, blues, rock, acoustic, lots of music from south america, mexico, the carribean, funk, country. I've listened to some metal but haven't delved into it as much as I should. I do appreciate the creativity, though. Some of the stuff I've heard has had really crazy time signatures and is WAY fast. I can definitely respect that, even if I don't listen to it as much. I used to play Latin Folk- I can sing like a mariachi BEFORE beer. RIght now I'm working on playing underneath spoken word stuff with a vocalist. I'm doing something similar to charlie hunter (soloing in the bass while keeping the chords going), but all acoustic. I like to play (and listen to) all kinds of stuff. THe only music I can't really get into is techno, but I have heard some interesting stuff integrated into it. Straight techno is a little dry, though. All I can say is, keep your mind (and your ears) open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sepultura999 Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 other: Heavy slow metal (my dying bride) Dark acoustic styles (Anathema) I like to incorrporate and try ANY instrument with my music, especially violins and piano. I can't really describe my lyrical style though but its not nu-metal, emo, nu-punk or stuff like that. -Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJPUC Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 no classic country fans here? bluegrass? hmmm... Roy Nichols, Chet Atkins, Albert Lee, Jerry Reed? I like everything. Merle and Waylon to Mr. Bungle and Supafuzz to JD Crowe and the new south. And some of the new guys in country are amazing players. Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Vince Gill(not really new anymore) Steve Wariner etc. Give me a TELE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalefish Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Ok, I voted blues but I'd have had a hard time if reggae was there.. And punk.. Yeah, I realise blues, reggae and punk aren't really the sort of genres you see all lumped together (more so for blues and punk) but hey, to each his own, eh?

GregP Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Man... A lot of people like Metal. I find most Death Metal insanely contrived. Although, I suppose thankfully so. If those guys really believed in a rain of blood and sacrificing themselves to demons, it would be even scarier. I like certain Metal, though... the ol' Metallica, Testament, Megadeth, Anthrax thing was great for a while. Nowadays, I'll take Louis Armstrong, Chet Atkins, Norah Jones, or Neil Finn over any of them. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzocchi705 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 METAL! The faster the better. Metallica are probibly my fave band, altho St.Anger sucked big time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syndromet Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 Progrock.... Specialy the Canterburry scene. Love bands like Egg, Kahn and Caravan. I'm also into Classic rock and Metal. To check out my noise-prog project, listen to Mesopotamian prophet or Native noises This music is not for everybody, though. All music made with guitar and samples. Sounds realy dull but is realy complex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezik Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 i voted blues cause i need my stevie and my jimi and my buddy and my muddy. but i like funk and alternative and folk and a little bit of G love and the special and i'm the worlds biggest beatles fan (thats to say i enjoy there music immensely not that i'm immense). so if beatles would have been up there or 60's pop/rock(which is how there classified) i would of had to of voted for that.

Sobot Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 I put metal, because it's the closest thing to Tool I guess. Tool has their own genre. I also like The Mars Volta... now what genre might that be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedoctor Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 (edited) Old standards for me. They can be played any way you want. Rock-style, metal, jazz or any other treatment as long as the old standard stands out as the song it was written to be. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Bessie Smith doing a song axactly as it was written for her but you can do SRV's Telephone Song in a jug-band style and have another old-standard. Black Betty is a good one. How many of you can remember String of Pearls? Van Halen or Pearl Jam could do a take that would KILL! Minnie the Moocher by Cab Calloway was almost as good as Commander Cody's version. Etc., etc. Almost forgot, SRV's Riviera Paradise! Edited June 15, 2005 by thedoctor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmrentis Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 I put metal, because it's the closest thing to Tool I guess. Tool has their own genre. I also like The Mars Volta... now what genre might that be? Wew! I just read everyones list and didn't see Tool anywhere. I think you are right they are hard to catagorize. At stores I've seen them under rock, hard rock, metal, and others, kinda crazy. I really thought that more people here would like Tool, I find Adam Jones to be a great guitarist and the band as a whole pretty versatile. They are definately my vote. And my buddy introduced me to Mars Volta. I was very impressed with the music, but lyrically is wasn't my bag. I felt that it had a strong theme though, which always makes a good record better. I have yet to hear the new stuff, I'd be willing to give a good couple listens through and see what I think. Other than Tool there are many bands I like but I can't think of many off hand, I like Pearl Jam a lot, especially the older albums.
