Poll: Music

[Cobra Dude]

I like all music.
but to narrow it down I think that new music is good but I like the clasics better

 

[Yudas]

I will listen to any genre as long as it sounds good, but I largely listen to rock.

This to an extent. I find that most genres have songs that are worth listening to, though I listen to rock n' roll 95% of the time. There are a few genres that I haven't seen the anything likeable (yet?) about though, that being hip-hop and death/grind/hard/whatever core metal.

But I try to keep an open mind and give every band a chance to impress.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Metal, rock, punk, ska, reggae, jazz, blues and whatever the hell Ratatat are.

 

[mattydude68]

mainly rock, i also like a bit of electro and punk is quite good too

 

[WafflesandBacon]

some classic but mostly hip hop

 

[suhlEap]

i like most music to be honest. but the majority of my music library is metal!

 

[Xyphon]

no one seems to be into hip hop these days

What fucking planet are you living on?

OT: I mainly listen to Techno and Horrorcore.

Example:

 

[velcthulhu]

Classical, with a little symphonic metal once in a while.

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

You missing Country, Soft Rock, Techno, and a lot of others, all of those that i stated are what i like.

 

[Legion]

Other: Gothic Rock, Industrial, EBM, Synthpop, Future Pop, Darkwave and Noize.

 

[Artorius]

hmm i have been listening to Punk and metal rock lately.
along the lines of Drowning Pool etc..
but Electro Trance Music always appealed to me along the lines of Bonobo,The Prodigy etc..

 

[Xvito]

The music I listen to the most is probably some kind of mix of all those alternatives. Although I also listen to classical music, mainly Ludwig Van.

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

It's funny, you made a poll about music on the Escapist but there is no Metal option. Anyway(if it werent obvious already) I usually listen to metal among a few other genres. I'm a big fan of Folk Metal, and Thrash/Speed Metal.

 

[Kill the messenger721]

I Like Everything, but my favorite is Progressive Rock (Rush,Yes Dream Theater, King Crimson) all parts of the songs are complex and different.

 

[Takoto]

Japanese music.

You can laugh at me if you want.

 

[EscapeGoat_v1legacy]

Mostly metal, in all it's wonderful ear-wrenching forms.

Still, I also enjoy a lot of rock and punk, while I do like listening to a little bit of light jazz as well, although I don;t listen to jazz that often.

Also, classical and symphonic music is wonderful, and it really helps calm me down and destress me.

Also,

Japanese music.

You can laugh at me if you want.

I'm not laughing - I'm going to agree instead, since I like listening to Japanese music as well.

And if you think that a general Black Metal tag could go on just any band, that just shows me how little you know about metal.

Oh, an "unholier than thou" elitist. Take that shit to Youtube where it belongs.

Awesome! Someone who knows nothing about metal, but attempts to criticize me anyway!

Calling me an elitist isn't going to change the fact that you're wrong, bud.

I think he was going on at the fact that metalheads often act all elitess about obscure bands and look down on anyone who likes popular bands who they view as having sold out. I gathered all this from some thread yesterday.


But to the OP I listen mostly to Classic Rock and punk, also country and musical soundtracks (I don't know why), I'm quite open to most other types of music though I find metal and rap to often be hard to listen to with much of it sounding too similar to me (could be I just don't quite get it or don't have the right ear for it).

Yeah, I gathered that that was what he was going on. However, if you look at the genres I listed as my favorites, you'll see that I'm far from an elitist. I may have been like that when I was 15, but I've since learned the joy of multi-genre listening.

Spoiler: Would an elitist have this in his Top Ten?

 

[MortisLegio]

I like most music except Pop
