What kind of music do you listen to?

[ToastPwnz]

If I listed everything I listened to, I'm sure many would come after me with torches and pitchforks for having "bad musical taste"

In my eyes, only people who listen to Justin Beiber have bad musical taste.

 

[Leonne]

For the most part, I am a metalhead, but my taste is quite eclectic. I'm very open minded with music since I love it.

 

[mrqs]

I listen across the spectrum except metal and anything very similar. I can't stand the "singers" (what do you call them because they don't sing) screaming at me and sounding like they're on their death bed.

you shouldn't dismiss a genre that vast just because you don't like growled vocals - there's more to metal than that:

I have been a headbanger since the late 70's/early 80's. Kinda gives you a clue as to my age. As I have gotten older I have opened up to other genre's such as SOME Country, classic rock, and some others.

To name a few of my fav bands I like to listen to are: Freedom Call (Love this band. And great singing Vihzel)), Sonata Arctica, Gamma Ray, Scorpions, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Fates Warning, Ronnie James Dio (R.I.P), and so many more. Never been much into grunge, thrash metal, or the death bands.

Vihzel there are some really good singers in metal. You just have to listen to the right bands. I always have preferred bands with guys that have a talent for singing. And good lead guitar work (R.I.P Randy Rhoads). Just my preference.

I happen to like Justin Beiber, think the kid is going to go far. He's good with the ESL students as well, for getting them to sing.

 

[gallandof]

one of my more recent musically favorites is Porcupine Tree.

 

[NYCHitman1]

These days I find myself not listening to much of anything. However, when I do.. it's a bunch of techno/house/trance or Incubus.

 

[(No Subject)]

I listen to a lot of different genres of music, Recently I've been really getting into the Star Wars soundtracks simply for the orchestral part of it. Not to mention I am a huge Star Wars nerd.

 

[mona88]

I love country and soul music. My favorite artists are Taylor Swift and Adele.

Well there are a few musical genres I listen to. Female vocals are preferred in most cases but male voices are not excluded. Any language is fine. If not understood, the voice becomes another instrument. So here we go: <3 symphonic metal / rock, various other metal, all forms of goth, industrial, techno, other electronic music, trance, punk, post punk, no wave, new wave, classical, <3 medieval and Celtic and Irish, country, bluegrass, Caribbean, reggae, Afro pop, traditional Chinese and Thai, South American, other world music, new age (a hated tag), some pop but female vocals are mandatory (luv Laura Branigan and not very poppy Polly Scattergood), individual instruments in various styles - harp, piano, <3 flute and violin, percussion (xylophones, marimbas, drums, etc.), guitars, <3 cellos and Irish bagpipes and hammered dulcimers, oboes, some classic rock but I'm kinda tired of it since bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, etc. were new bands when I first heard them, a lot of indie / alternative from the '80s and '90s and some from this century. Have CDs, cassette tapes, and LPs of all the above.

Take away the music, better put me in a padded cell. Last.fm was the first app installed on the Esteem. And thanks to Last.fm I've developed a fondness for various genres of music by Russian artists.

 

[RingKing]

Alternative rock, classical and jazz.

I go through phases with music. My first music love was nineties rock of course, given my age.
Everclear
Red Hot Chili Peppers
STP
Tool
(old) Green Day
Pearl Jam
Counting Crows

When I was a teenager and discovered metal, I listened to little else. Bands like these occupied all my time:
Iced Earth
In Flames
Dark Tranquility
In Extremo
Blind Guardian
Dimmu Borgir
Type O Negative

Then I started getting into jam bands. The Dead, Rusted Root, String Cheese Incident, I would lose myself.

A bit more recently, I started downloading assorted jrock, wanting more music like the excellent Bleach theme songs. I somehow discovered my current obsession, Dir en Grey, an amazing Japanese metal band that takes my mind on epic journeys. I have been buying up their music like crazy on Google Music.

If I had to pick one kind of music only for the rest of my life though, it would have to be metal. Nothing else makes me feel as good.

 

[FlatWoodsM]

I'm a dancer so I like to rock out to a lot of different styles.

House (all types), Jazz (all types), Underground Hip Hop (cant stand the radio stuff), Trip hop, 2-step, Metal, Grindcore, DnB (all types), Trance, Hard House/ Hard Style, Super Euro Beat (some of it is pretty catchy), J-pop/J-rock, 40's (I hate 50's music) 60's 70's 80's, Gabber, Rotterdam, Gopstyle, Soul/R&B, Classic, and yes Country (Boot scootin boogie is my ish.).

 

[schwenger]

Mostly weird death metal, grindcore and powerviolence. But I always throw on some older hardcore, some screamo, some sludge, hip hop and some idm. I like to mix it up.

 

[Leonne]

I listen to almost everything but mostly to metal. I don't call myself a "Metalhead" though. I just enjoy it. A hell of a lot.

 

[stauren1203]

anything musical... sounds too general, but its true. I dont KNOW a lot of music, I'm not one of those guys that can name every sub-genre of every genre, but I can appreciate pretty much everything for its musicality.

 

[kelmer34]

Well i stick with you. I like pretty much everything from R&B, pop, rock to Reggaeton and salsa and latin rythms. Even country i like it som much as loong as the lyrics are about happy stuff.
