What kind of music do you listen to?

As you can probably guess from the username, I love Muse. I've seen them several times live and they just blow my socks off. My love for Matt Bellamy shows no bounds.

I also really like Biffy Clyro, Elbow, 30 Seconds to Mars, Foo Fighters.... I enjoy rock music probably above all other genres

I quite like Plan B right now too, along with Example. I guess they're more hip-hop?

I haven't bought the album yet, but probably will, Strike! by the Baseballs. I have no idea why it appeals. It just does!

I've loved Gorillaz since Demon Days, so I bought Plastic Beach with much anticipation but I really dislike it. Stylo is a genius track but everything else just doesn't seem to fit. I feel like I shouldn't call myself a fan, but I really really do not like their new stuff and their headline at Glasto felt really uncomfortable to watch :(

Thankfully Muse rocked the joint! :D

Its not hard if you learn to appreciate the differences.
Exactly.. If you take things for what they are its hard not to like most music IMO.. Obviously if your listening to 50 your not looking for much content.. but thats ok if you can just accept that.. I don't get why people hate on pop music either.. Ya its written by like 50 people... over produced, over marketed, and the artist usually have little to do with the actual album.. but put that aside a lot of its catchy and nice if your in the right mood.

I'm mostly into rock of many genres, but can and will listen to anything except jazz. I just don't get jazz. At all.

Fave bands; Thunder (now split up, sadly :( ) Thin Lizzy, AC/DC, Gun, Little Angels... then the other stuff I like, such as Spin Doctors, Hootie & The Blowfish, Mark Germino, Storm Large and 70s/80s soul like Sam & Dave, Otis Redding and such like.

My main 3 favorite types of music are
kpop
dance
hiphop/r&b

I love pop groups...lol. korea has THE best pop groups EVER. At least right now, nobody can touch them. I mean, they have at least 3 or 4 WEEKLY tv shows dedicated to music performances. America has NONE.

Hip hop and r&b I kind of only really got into when I started DJing for my high school about 7 or 8 years ago. But now I like it a lot. I think of r&b and those rare r&b/rap groups as Pop groups because lets face it, in america this type of music IS pop.

As for dance music, I've always been a fiend as far as I can remember. Maybe it started with the group Aqua, but later I started like house and trance and all that good stuff. I'm more of a fan of the radio side of dance, like radio edits and vocal dance.

I like all kinds of music though. I used to be really into rock back in like 2000-2002 when rock was ACE. Lately I have not really heard anything good.
Some of my favorte rock bands are like The Stills, Funeral For A Friend, Silverchair, A Day To Remember..

I used to really follow urban/reggae japanese music as well as jpop. The sites and blogs I used to go to that would update often and frequently about this type of music are now gone though, so for maybe about 3 years or so I have not been able to find any new music related to this genre :(

It is easy for me to follow kpop because there are many blogs especially allkpop.com that update LIKE CRAZY. Not to mention again the very frequent tv performances they do.

With dance music, for the past year or so I have been mainly hearing about stuff from online radio. I listen to Energy 98 like every day. Hip hop/R&B I listen to HOT108.

ugh not to ramble on and on but I guess here is a short list of some of my favorite artists:

KPOP:
Wonder Girls
2PM
F.cuz
2NE1
f(x)
BoA (also i have listened to her since Amazing Kiss her debut japanese single. she is international)

Hiphop:
The Pack
Keyshia Cole
i cant really think of anyone else right now lmfao

Dance:
Inna
Milk Inc.
Sylver
Novaspace (original singer only :(! )

Japanese:
MINMI
NANJAMAN
Yui
RYO the SKYWALKER
Suzuki Ami
Amuro Namie
Hikaru Utada
BoA (she fits in everywhere lol)
Kimura Kaela
