What type of music do you prefer?

I used to be the biggest metal fan I knew, until one day I listened to one too many newer metal acts, realized they all sound exactly the same, and got bored with the entire genre. It was crazy, because it was like somebody snapped their fingers, and I went "The guitars sound like crap, the drums are boring, the bass might as well not even be there, the singers are atrocious, etc...."

I think the only two metal albums on my mp3 player are Helmet's Meantime (which after 16 years, still sounds fantastic) and Tony Iommi's solo album. The rest is a pretty eclectic mix, Ryan Adams, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Pink Floyd, Shakira, Phish, the Beatles, Mars Volta, Ani DiFranco, Peter Gabriel, U2, Yes, Rodrigo y Gabriella....

I listen to just about anything (except country)...but do so in phases right now I am listening to Alternative Industrial Rock (Marilyn Manson, Buck Cherry, Seether, etc.)

I'll pretty much listen to anything except rap and hip-hop...which borderlines the 'noise" category, IMO.

I have the most eclectic mix of music you could imagine - titles from the 'genre' section (and I'm selecting randoms because I have the 160 gig) on my ipod at the moment: Accoustic, Alt rock, Alt Punk, Avantgarde, Blues, Brit Pop, Christian Gangsta Rap, Classical, Darkwave, Disco, Drum & Bass, Electronica, Emo, Emo/Screamo, Ethnic, Folk, General Rock, Gothic, Gothic metal, Hard rock, hardcore Punk, Indie, Indie/Dance, International, Instrumental, Oldies, Pop, Pop Punk, Post Hardcore, Progressive Rock, Punk Metal, Punk Rock, Reggae, Sould and R&B, Top 40, Trance

I included some of the ones that I thought were more contradictory and entertaining... "Christian Gangsta Rap"?!?!

Heck yes!!!! :gj: metal rules!!
I think its cool how the majority of people who love snakes also love rock in its different forms!

331 gigs of music. I have a 160 gig Ipod that I hate using because it only has half my collection. You didnt put folk on the list. Folk/country or folk/rock or my favorite genre. Followed close by Blue grass and indie rock. You think my music selection is huge. I just passed the 2tb mark for movies... All I do is download.

one well known musician thing for cockney rap, would have to be The Streets. (i think?)

I love the Streets! My boyfriend says their new album(s) aren't any good though.

I listen to rap and rock.
