What is your favorite Genre?

[Punisher2191]

I know a lot of people don't like this genre but I really like Metalcore

[Onslaught_fei]

Heavy Metal

[Gowienczyk]

I don't know if I could say. I really love hip-hop, alternative & indie hipster junk, power metal... eh... hard to say.

[Mystlyfe77]

Why do I have to pick just one? :(

[a21schizoidman]

Good music is my fav. genre :rolls eyes:

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

Psychedelia.

[SputnikDX]

[Lolicat]

I'll go with Gowie and say my indie hipster stuff, punk too.

[a21schizoidman]

Good music.

Edit: Damn, a21 you douche! :p

you're a douche!

[supernova1324]

And metalcore isn't that bad if you listen to better bands in the genre. It only sucks if you listen to stuff like A7X, Trivium, or BFMV.

[Gowienczyk]

Snap!

I thought you said good music!

[supernova1324]

[Alright_Computer]

Hipster garbage.

[Punisher2191]

[Gowienczyk]

errr..... actually A7X is my favorite band and BFMV is my 2nd favorite

I'm so sorry.

[supernova1324]

I'm so sorry.

May you're musical soul rest in peace.

[SputnikDX]

Hipster garbage.

It's cool man. Go your own way, that's all right.

[Alright_Computer]

It's cool man. Go your own way, that's all right.

I was just copying the last.fm motif, but some people probably would write off some of my music as hipster garbage. Which is a shame, because it's really not. :(

[Onslaught_fei]

errr..... actually A7X is my favorite band and BFMV is my 2nd favorite

Ouch man. Just... ouch. I dont believe in spreading my musical tastes like its gospel but maybe you should try some ****IN CORONER YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[onidragon]

Alternative digifolkpunkrap. It's the new genre that's taking Canada by storm, I hear.

[JerryBrudos]

Heavy Metal

This

[ArchangelZero]

Alternative Rock and Metal (My definition of alternative: any sound that has it's own unique style)

[Soror_YZBL]

Quirky Romantic Comedies.

[Gowienczyk]

Alternative Rock and Metal (My definition of alternative: any sound that has it's own unique style)

Well, that's wrong.

[Fizzeler]

Tie for me either Blues or well you can guess the other easily :D

[Nuff_Said]

i like music that appeals to my ears and makes them swoon for hawt ear sex.

[Runesmith]

Non-Generic Music is my favorite genre.

In all seriousness, it's probably New Wave, but you all knew that already.

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

Tie for me either Blues or well you can guess the other easily :D

Punk, right?:D

[Fizzeler]

Punk, right?:D

No obviously Funk :p

[ROCKBANDFANATIC7526]

No obviously Funk :p

::eek::D:p

[warthogdb]

The Ramones, the bands that influenced the Ramones, and bands that the Ramones influenced. In short, rock and roll music the way it was meant to be played.

[MrFruitLord]

Rock.

[Max2323232]

Rock.


Well, That took long enough.:rolleyes:

[Parodygm]

Well, if I have to be really specific... the genre I've got the most enjoyment from over the years is shoegazer.

[Insane3]

Hum. I like a little bit of everything except country (and I have no valuable reason for not liking it).

Outside of genres, what turns me off is uncreativeness.

[Gowienczyk]

".. I like music!!...

EXCEPT COUNTRY OR WRAP"

/facepalm

[FourstringOrion]

Hmm. This is hard.. I guess Metal, But lately I have been getting into alot of Punk. I also really enjoy Motown, Jazz, Prog, Grunge, and Funk quite a bit too. Lets just say all of the above :p

[dabears116]

Thrash Metal and death metal, mainly death/thrash and technical thrash metal.

I'm open to many genres though, from metal (thrash, death, black, doom, melodeath, power, NWOBHM, excluding grindcore) to fusion, to hardcore punk to psyechedelic rock, to progressive rock to grunge.

I like many other genres too such as blues, hip-hop, and jazz, although I only really scratched the surface in those genres.

[a21schizoidman]

i like music that appeals to my ears and makes them swoon for hawt ear sex.

just have some homeless guy breathe on your ear then

[ArmsAreLoud]

Grunge. Blues Rock is a very close second.

[MronoC]

blues :cool: (<-- not cool, just blind)

[samantharrgh]

Metal. :)

[Soror_YZBL]

Yacht Rock

[Jixzer]

I like a lot of different types of music, but my favorite is no secret around here:

/LooksAtCustomTitle

[Shibari]

I like everything except techno and mainstream pop crap. But my favorite will always be metal \m/ death, thrash, grind, power, heavy... I love 'em all.

[Mystlyfe77]

Everything? Really?

Who's your favorite adult contemporary artist?
You prefer Debussy or Satie?
What's your favorite Chieftains album?
What about Swing?
You a fan of No Wave?
List some of your favorite avant-garde artists.
Banco del Mutuo Soccorso or Le Orme?
What's the last screamo album you listened to?

I think I made my point.

[Gowienczyk]

You forgot noise, Myst. ;)

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso > Le Orme

[Mystlyfe77]

Banco del Mutuo Soccorso > Le Orme

Agreed.

[Cubecubed]

Progressive i guess.....Wikipedia says New Prog is my favorite genre,because apparently my two favorite bands are new prog.

[Mystlyfe77]

Progressive i guess.....Wikipedia says New Prog is my favorite genre,because apparently my two favorite bands are new prog.

Yeah, don't listen to wikipedia. :rolleyes:

[Lizard_King]

dance rock and classic rock are my two favorites.

[Mystlyfe77]

classic rock

Radio station, not genre.

[a21schizoidman]

Agreed.

Darwin!

[Bloodstorm101]

it would have to be Power Metal

[franticfish]

Doom metal!!! or Tech Death.

[Lizard_King]

Radio station, not genre.

change to 60's psychadelic rock.

[Cubecubed]

Yeah, don't listen to wikipedia. :rolleyes:

but its so Convenient!

[Tank9088]

Thrash metal.

[Fizzeler]

Doom metal!!! or Tech Death.

Tech Death is in my top 5 (1 being Prog. and 2 Blues :D)

[Fizzeler]

Yeah, don't listen to wikipedia. :rolleyes:

This since your 2 favorite bands are barely Progressive (Muse is going in that direction though)

[Cubecubed]

This since your 2 favorite bands are barely Progressive (Muse is going in that direction though)

In my Opinion Good Apollo 1 by Coheed and Cambria is far more Progressive than anything Muse has ever released.

[Fizzeler]

In my Opinion Good Apollo 1 by Coheed and Cambria is far more Progressive than anything Muse has ever released.

:rolleyes:

C&C is not Prog. a band having a Prog. album does not make them Prog. (Chicago is a good example). Muse is heading in the Progressive direction which some Alt. fans don't like (Neckermanjk) while others do so they may be labeled as Prog. soon......

[Cubecubed]

i love muse but i see nothing from them that is even close to Progressive.

[Alright_Computer]

i love muse but i see nothing from them that is even close to Progressive.

Um, Citizen Erased says hi.

[Fizzeler]

Um, Citizen Erased says hi.
I love that song and Map Of The Problematique :D

Um, Citizen Erased says hi.

i know that song....still dont hear it.

I may have missed the point. Was it that you have a rod stuck up your ass?

[Alright_Computer]

i know that song....still dont hear it.

Then what about Space Dementia? Those are both pretty prog, not sure why you don't hear it.

[Cubecubed]

I love that song and Map Of The Problematique :D

also i love how somehow an entire album isnt proof of progressive leanings,but two songs apparently are.

[Fizzeler]

Then what about Space Dementia? Those are both pretty prog, not sure why you don't hear it.

I don't think he knows what Prog. is makes sense to me

[Cubecubed]

Then what about Space Dementia? Those are both pretty prog, not sure why you don't hear it.

ok i hear it in that one. In my opinion Both Bands are headed in a decidedly Progressive Direction.

[Cubecubed]

I guess prog isnt well defined enough for me to Emphatically state "this band is/isn't Prog".

[Fizzeler]

ok i hear it in that one. In my opinion Both Bands are headed in a decidedly Progressive Direction.

Muse seems to be C&C need to hear their album they are releasing soon to decide

[Alright_Computer]

ok i hear it in that one. In my opinion Both Bands are headed in a decidedly Progressive Direction.

Like Fizzeler, I'll have to hear their new stuff to actually determine this, but I do know that Origin of Symmetry was probably their proggiest work. Some songs from their new album, like Knights of Cydonia, Map of the Problematique, and Take a Bow are pretty prog as well, but Origin of Symmetry is much proggier as a whole, in my opinion. /formerMusefan

[Cubecubed]

Muse seems to be C&C need to hear their album they are releasing soon to decide

Well Good Apollo 1 was realy Proggy,No world for tomorrow less so(Cept "on the brink"),but Chris Pennie Said that "More Technical drum parts"will be on the next album sooo........idk.

[Cubecubed]

Yeah Origin of symmetry is really proggy,but i cant say i think any others are.

[Alright_Computer]

Yeah Origin of symmetry is really proggy,but i cant say i think any others are.

Knights of Cydonia is pretty in-your-face prog. But that's it from their other albums, really. Some have proggier tendencies (Map of the Problematique, Take a Bow) but they aren't too proggy outside that.

[Mystlyfe77]

I may have missed the point. Was it that you have a rod stuck up your ass?

Nope, it was that he doesn't listen to "everything." Rock, Hip-hop, Techno, and Country are not the only four genres of music.
Thanks for your valuable contribution to this thread. I'm glad that you can add such wonderful discussion and thoughts.

[Mystlyfe77]

Classic rock.

Not a genre.

[Alright_Computer]

Not a genre.

Someone had to say it...

[Fizzeler]

Classic rock.

This is a radio format and not a genre

/musical elitist

[General Lein979]

grunge

[Soratar]

alt. rock by far. If I were to choose a second, it would probably be pop. But, many people who know me probably think that pop is my favorite...

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

I don't think I have to say what it is. I'm sure 99.98% of the people on here can guess it.

[tridentgum0]

I don't think I have to say what it is. I'm sure 99.98% of the people on here can guess it.
Pornocore?

[Alright_Computer]

I don't think I have to say what it is. I'm sure 99.98% of the people on here can guess it.

Twee pop? Free jazz? It's one of those two, I just know it.

[Fizzeler]

Twee pop? Free jazz? It's one of those two, I just know it.

no it is obviously bubblegum pop

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

Post-music

[NormanCoxwell]

Classic Rock would have to be mine. Second would probably be Punk. Than Blues. Than Grunge. Than... Alternative? Why the hell not?

[Mystlyfe77]

I don't think I have to say what it is. I'm sure 99.98% of the people on here can guess it.

Ambient Irish NSBM?


Classic Rock

See previous pages.

[a21schizoidman]

Twee pop? Free jazz? It's one of those two, I just know it.

no no, it's acoustic computer rock

[sonicnerd23]

Progressive Rock.

[Fizzeler]

Progressive Rock.

Oh really?

Actually if I wanted to be specific mine would be 4th Wave Progressive Rock :D

[Alright_Computer]

In all honesty, my favorite genre would have to be alternative. More specifically, shoegaze. But jazz is a very close second. Like, *this* close.

[tridentgum0]

Death Metal/Deathcore

[Mystlyfe77]

Deathcore

The only way to describe my reaction would be to see the face I made when I read this. It was somewhere between a cross of these:
:eek: :confused: :(

[TheClashTheClashTheClash]

no it is obviously bubblegum pop

You were the .02% that I knew would get it wrong


no no, it's acoustic computer rock

This be it

Yeah. I know. I like it. Sue me, rape me, whatever.

[Idiostock]

My favorite band is Nu Metal, as are several runner ups.

Overall, though; Heavy Metal a la Maiden and Priest.

[neckermanncj]

Indie Hipster Garbage

[Mystlyfe77]

Sue me.

I'm going to need your name and home address.

[macamatic]

Lol, this wasn't meant as a shot at your musical taste (though that would be a definite improvement). You told me to sue you, so I'm taking my shot at getting $$$. :p

It's more of a commentary on a phrase that I find mildly strange. What if someone really did find a reason to sue you over your statements?

Ah. Well, I imagine I would win because I can't imagine what their case would be. :p

[dabears116]

Melodic metalcore. Yeah, the current wave of bands that are currently oversaturating the market. Sue me. After that is melodeath.

If you like melodeath I recommend you listen to it, currently I only see three melodeath bands in your last.fm library (In Flames, DT, and At The Gates) I recommend the great melodeath bands, such as early Arch Enemy (not stuff with Angela), early At The Gates (TRitSiO and With Fear I Kiss The Burning Darkness), Gates of Ishtar, Nightrage, Carcass's "Heartwork", to name a few popular ones.

edit: lol irony @ your post a few above

[FlyGuyLXI]

My Favorite of the Favorite Genre would probably be Power Metal

I like all punk (except pop punk), goth, industrial (all kinds. EBM, Aggrotech) indie pop/rock, New Wave, Rockabilly.

Of the metals: Industrial Metal, Folk Metal, Gothic Metal

outside of rock: Big Band/Swing, Smooth Jazz, House/Techno, Ambient New Age, Traditional Japanese.

[DeadPhoenix223]

Thrash all day, Punk all night!

[dabears116]

Thrash all day, Punk all night!

You (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtRDX9gBeRc) don't (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSKd6qDUCqs) know (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtmNOaG1KBA) thrash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PDYE1ho_jY), this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KKZ4Y1Whnk) is (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7dPiiEnFM4) thrash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z69OEfF15FU) metal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsSTh0UNu1o)!

[Sonic_Snowman]

I like lots of varied genres.

If I had to pick a favorite genre it would be classic Heavy Metal (esp. NWOBHM bands), with Southern Rock and Grunge coming in right behind. I also like 80's New Wave and Hair Metal, and even some Progressive Rock and (gasp!) Nu-Metal*.






*But not Nickelback. ;)

edit: lol irony @ your post a few above
I like a lot of that stuff, actually - it's just not in my library. I'll also admit that I'm not a fan of stuff like the ATG albums you listed (also, I see no ATG in my library...?). Further, I don't have to like everything to like a genre.

By the way, I have Soilwork, early ATR, and Sonic Syndicate in there as well.

Where, exactly, is the irony by the way? Yes, TRITSIO is one of the most prominent examples of melodeath, but I don't have to like it. I much prefer what the bands did once they lost their black metal sound a bit.
