Musical tastes

[Soma O))) 30]

So here's the Dealio and I'm sure there's already been threads like this and I'll probably be told that and this will end up referred to that.

Please, I'm not being a jerk.

What kind of music are you generally listening to. If you could have only that genre which includes it's specific subgenres.

Me I'd say ambient. Then I have everything from Brian Eno to scorn. Lull to Roger Eno. Etc etc

Country and classical.

[shy0wl 484]

I love ambient/post-rock music.  It's really all I listen to, but I know a huge variety of ambient artists.

[WokeSmeed 124]

I can stand to listen to just about anything, but I prefer metal. My favorite subgenres are probably doom, stoner, and power metal.

[Dreambiscuit 9,623]

I like classical but mostly movie soundtracks (especially John Williams) and Broadway stuff. 

[Le Trotteur Sauvage 13,051]

I Lksten tobpratically every king of music but I mostly listen to metal and hiphop (old school).

But I HATE the "new musics", you know, the kind of music that you can hear on the radio they're all the same and really poor in content.

[They call me Loyalty 1,948]

Despite having no bias towards a particular musical genre, I gravitate towards new age.

Inspiration is the substance of frequency, in my eyes.

[Randimaxis 8,652]

Oh dear, sweet Luna...

My father had an extremely broad musical palette, and he passed that along to me.

I prefer the ROCK genre, specifically anything from the Classic Rock/Oldies genre.

However, I also have scattered interests in Folk, Techno, Motown, Disco, Novelty, Punk, Metal, and even a touch of Dubstep.

Also, for the record, I absolutely adore a decent remix.

[Klaatu 28]

Oh boy...funk, jazz fusion, metal (funk, heavy, power, speed), new wave, rock (instrumental, prog, psychedelic), and also classical.

[Envy 6,143]

My favorite genres are various forms of rock - Soft rock (70s only - 80s soft rock is generally dull IMO), psychedelic rock, progressive rock, and of course brass rock- soul/r&b from the 60s and 70s, British Folk/Rock, Early Music (Medieval and Renaissance) and Classical (Baroque, Classic, and French Impressionism primarily).

[Megas 27,566]

Always been a fan of metal and rock, especially from the 80s, though I'm also fond of techno, jazz and 80s pop music

[Zyrael 1,471]

It's gotta be rock n' roll music, if you wanna dance with me. Just take those old records off the shelf, I'll sit and listen to them by myself. I love rock n' roll, so put another dime in the jukebox baby. Roll over beethoven, dig these rhythm and blues. 

[Kawaii Besu 28,011]

Iron Maiden, and only Iron Maiden.

Well, not really. But, yeah, I'm more of a heavy metal guy. Preferably classic, power, progressive, and trash. 

Also dig classic rock. c:

Ahh this is nice. See I myself adore hands/artists like CCR, The Animals, Joan Baez and The Doors. Pink Floyd has been my all time favorite for years. I also love indiepop and slowcore like the antlers or snowmine. Synthwave and vaporwave are nice. Really music is nice.

[Denim&Venöm 18,710]

99% of what I listen too is heavy metal. And it has many, many sub-genres:

• Thrash: Testament, Death Angel, Overkill, Kreator, Megadeth, 
• Post-Thrash/ Groove Metal: Machine Head, Fear Factory, Lamb Of God, Pantera, Soulfly
• Melodic Death Metal: Soilwork, Arch Enemy, Children Of Bodom, Amon Amarth, At The Gates 
• Power Metal: Sabaton, Stratovarius, Dragonforce, Iced Earth, Symphony X
• Metalcore/New Wave Of American Metal: Trivium, As I Lay Dying, 36 Crazyfists, Hatebreed, Shadows Fall
• New Wave Of British Heavy Metal: Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Grim Reaper

Although from time to time I do find myself listening to alt.rock, post punk, post hardcore, post grunge, and on rare occasions stuff like smooth jazz, fast techno/EDM, & ambient chill out. 

[honk friend 1,978]

'80s pop...

Spoiler

...that wasn't actually recorded and produced in the '80s

 

 

[Guac 25]

hip-hop / rap appeal to me the most but i can listen to pretty much anything. i tend to avoid country/rock but sometimes a song or 2 from those genres will pull me in. as long as it sounds good it's alright with me. i usually enjoy lyricists but i don't mind a couple of "mumble rappers" either unless the song is complete garbage. for example lil yachty actually has a couple of tracks i enjoy surprisingly after giving him a shot from a different perspective.

I like:

• Metal (especially Melodic Death and Progressive Metal)
• Rock (mostly Prog Rock and Alternative Rock)
• Melodic EDM (Uplifting Trance, Progressive House, Melodic D&B ...)
• Ethno, New Age, Chill Out (like Enigma, Schiller or Tangerine Dream)

Sometimes, I also listen other music, but these are the typical musical styles I hear.

[Rawzy 1,302]

I only listen to metal. Mostly melodic, prog, or black metal, and maybe some deathcore on the side. (Insomnium, Amon Amarth, Trivium, Be'lakor, Fallujah, Dream Theater, Persefone, Rings of Saturn, Thy Art is Murder, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Nile, Shade Emire, etc etc.)

[Techno Universal 2,575]

I really love calming ambient music but then I also really enjoy exiteing techno/trance music and it's more exciting for me when it's fast. I also play soundtracks that I've listened to before in my head to mach the environment around me. Also when I'm listening to music I imagine a music video in my head that is generated to perfectly sync with the music. I could literally create my own music videos if I had some sort of device that could read my thoughts and uploaded them to a computer in the format of a video file.  

[cmarston1 5,959]

I am mostly interested in pop music.

[RainbowBlast20 10]

I normally listen to all genres of rock and metal. I don't really listen to other genres that much but there are some songs I like from rap and pop. 

[TBD 17,254]

Rock, classical, Indie, jazz and blue.

[SeraphStar 398]

I'm partial to hip-hop / rap, most notably west coast beats (90's Dr. Dre, yessss) and trap music. There needs to be an infectious beat (preferably with a heavy baseline; Chief Keef and Drill music is a pretty good example. Although I do prefer good lyrics to accompany the instrumental I'm just a suckered for an artist that can evoke a feeling of (psuedo) invincibility) or a story-teller lyricist  (a la 'Bad Guy' by Eminem for example, and most all his other album transcending songs). If not a great story-teller, I can also get down with someone who can weave their lyrics expertly and who have a nice flow to go with it.

I really enjoy the Nerdcore subgenre (KtP! o.o)

Aside from the above mentioned, I do enjoy most genres of music (although I draw the line on many a country song (unless it's Johnny Cash or a song like "Fire On The Mountain")... except Garth Brooks, 'cause I'm basic like that (and my mom listened to his stuff while I was a young'un (along with Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith). I may or may not croon "Friends In Low Places" at work... purely sarcastically, of course...)).

Wait, what was I typing?
