What Kind of Music do You like?

I for one am very fond of System of a Down. Just love all of their songs. Also AC/DC, Metalica, sum 41, the beatles, pretty much everything except rap and country. I absolutley hate country, yet I live in Texas.

You?

Im more into classic and physiologic rock like Pink Floyd but also def leppard and stuff like that. I DESPISE country and classical stuff.

rap, hip hop.

I'm sooo tired of rap and hip hop. I'm a rock girl all the way. Seether, Godsmack, ACDC, Ozzy, NIN, tool. Love it all

I'm not too picky when it comes to music, as long as it's not country. :oops:
I absolutely love System of a Down, they're coming to SoCal in the next month or so and I'd kill to see them. :( I also love Tool, Korn, Incubus, Disturbed, Godsmack, the list goes on and on..

I can't tell you how much I hate country. It's SO ANNOYING. The freaking songs are always about tractors, honkey tonks (what the HELL is a honky tonk anyway?!) beer, and a bunch of other stupid crap. I HATE IT HATE IT HATE IT.

Hip Hop

Mainly Canibus. his lyrics arent about money, cars and women. Instead he uses multi-syllable words and insane metaphors to portray a picture of the story he is telling (to people who can actually understand him..)

for example. Canibus raps about things that you wouldn't even believe existed. Thats because he talks about real issues, while other rap artists are just putting out a bunch of crap

Lyrical example:

"Ooh how I miss my nautilus
i was told faren goat and mcdotilus did not exist
you have a modest case of scaphocephalous
I prescribe some neo gothic anti-biotics"

And THATS what seperates my "rap/hip-hop" from others :)

Actually, they're not. While beer & honkey tonks (i.e. a country bar) do arise as frequent subjects of country songs, that's not what they're limited to along with tractors. I'd venture to say that most country songs, especially the newer stuff, are about every day people dealing with everyday situations that come up in every day life. Or as it's often put, "country music is three chords and real life." :)

Just to clear up any misconceptions...you know, since you don't actually listen to it. ;)

In addition to country, my tastes include everything except hard-core rap & extreme heavy metal (anything ridiculously obscene or blasphemous is a HUGE turnoff).

My iPod has a mix of everything from Beethoven to Garth Brooks, Miles Davis to Leonard Cohen, Tori Amos to Sepultura, and just about everything in between. Country, blues, metal, jazz, showtunes, gospel, folk, techno, R&B, classic rock, celtic music, Spanish guitar, good ol' rock & roll, bluegrass, big band....it just goes on & on. We'd be here all day if I tried to list them all...the soundtrack of my life is together eclectic & colorful. ;)

I'll pass rap, hip hop, all that pop stuff....and others like that. Also can't stand almost all of the crap that's out on the radio.
I do love metal (most kinds), rock, swing, 40s, 50s, 60s, big band, rockabilly, psychobilly....I'm sure I could keep going on forever. I really love music.
And I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Slayer yet!!

I like it all. Even country and classical, it depends on my mood.

I listen to a lot of different stuff, my tastes are all over the place. The Beatles, Gary Numan, Beethoven, Waylon Jennings/Johnny Cash/Willie Nelson/Patsy Cline/Hank Williams (old skool country), Leonard Cohen, Metallica, The National, The Clash, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Airborne Toxic Event, Civil Twilight, Placebo, The Cure, Radiohead, David Bowie...

I like 90's metal for sure (Tool, Megadeth, Primus, etc...) though I'm really not a fan of Metallica (they were good in their early days, but after the black album everything went downhill). I like classic rock (Zeppelin, Floyd, the Doors, the Beatles), a couple newer metal bands with that classic feel (the Sword, Mastodon, Priestess) and I like classical when it's on, though I don't listen to it on my own if you know what I mean. I'm actually like that with most music, except for pop/rap/country.

Oh no, trust me, I listen to country. Forcefully anyway.

I like a little bit of country and rock and roll, no rap or hip hop.

I don't like country... but everybody in my family seems to.

Most of what I have is assorted indie... silversun pickups, alexi murdoch, temper trap, etc.

I also love me some house/progressive house (mmm skrillex), and I enjoy some hip hop, more for the sound less for the lyrics.

I'm sorry, but Skrillex is the one "artist" I can not stand. Lol
Disgrace to dubstep. :hmm:

I listen to just about anything. It all depends on my mood....:D

Hip Hop, Mostly Mobb Deep(my cuzin is best friends with p),biggie,Birdgang etc

i like a wide variety of music and what i listen to REALLY depends on my mood.
if im angry and cleaning i put on loud angry stuff, helps me get my anger out quicker by doing something constructive like cleaning.
when im depressed i listen to somber, sad stuff like adams song by blink 182...oh my god i play that song to death when i'm in a mood. dont know how but listening to that kinda eases me out of a really bad down moment.

I enjoy everything except country. I've been to see AC/DC, Ozzy, Journey, ZZTop, REO Speedwagon concerts, etc back in the day. Those were fun!! :D

I never listened much to the newer stuff until recently when my daughter got me listening to it. I'm ashamed to say I was stuck on a top 40 type station :O

I LOVE Avenged Sevenfold (yea they are pretty-I said it! :D), Three Days Grace, etc...too many good ones to name. I have never been a fan of Metallica though. My daughter laughs at me sometimes but I think is more proud than embarrassed that I listen to the same type music she does :P

Listening right now to.....

KSE
Underoath
Times of Grace

Catherine wheel, celldweller, eels, Therapy?, Oomph, Seeed. I kinda listen to everything very erratic mixes german industrial, next to pop and punk. I guess I like lyrical music any thing that has a story...

I can't tell the difference between music genres to save my life, but I do like most kinds of music. Listening to Skillet at the moment, as well as Thousand Foot Krutch, Hawk Nelson, and FM Static. Really depends on my mood, and I have to agree with the person who said they can't stand today's music. I'm a traitor to my generation.:P

I like anything but rap/hip-hop and pop. Classical is great when I want to relax. When I'm walking, I listen to a mix of country/comedy/rock. Preferred artists:

Frank Zappa
Poison
Garth Brooks
Stephen Lynch
KISS

There are others but too numerous to list :)

I am a HUGE Nine Inch Nails fan :D I really don't know what I'd do without Reznor's music. My taste is pretty varied too, and I'll listen to anything with an alternative rock/metal sound. My other top bands are Tool, System Of A Down, Slipknot, At The Drive-In, Lamb Of God, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, Queens Of The Stone Age, Nirvana, Muse and Metallica. I love pretty much every song by any of them.

I absolutely can't stand country (and it's nice to see so many other people who feel the same on here haha) The "popular" contrived music of today gets on my nerves as well... there aren't too many radio stations that I enjoy listening to anymore.

I’m a huge music fan! I listen to all sorts of genres of rock n roll. Despise the ever so trendy musical styles out today. I also listen to very old country like Johnny Cash and Hank Williams’s senior which to me rock n roll is. I look for music that is sincere, and has no boundaries. I could never get into hip hop and rap.

Just to name a few bands.

AC/DC
Anti-Flag
Alice Cooper
AFI (old)
Black Sabbath
The Beatles
Bad Brains

I like metal, rock, rap.... absolutely can not stand "pop" music.

Pantera is my fav metal band of all time.

I like Slayer, Iron Maiden, Nirvana, Metallica, Sublime, Bob Marley (who doesn't like Bob Marley?), The Beatles... not really very picky if there is some sort of talent that I can appreciate.

I grew up with Eminem, Dre, Ice Cube (older stuff mostly), etc.. but I've recently been introduced to Vinnie Paz (Jedi Mind Tricks, Heavy Metal Kings) and I can't get enough of him. Love his voice and his lyrics. Really started to listen to underground anti-political stuff in the past couple of months. Block McCloud is another I like. Check out "End of Days" Vinnie Paz ft. Block McCloud if you think you might like to hear something like that - awesome song.

Haha very cool :gj: Oh yeah, and I realized later that I forgot Incubus, I love all of their stuff too. I used CDs for the longest time too and had waaayyy too many mixes to even count... but it started to become a hassle with them piled up and sliding around all over the place :oops: So for christmas I got a nice new CD player that has a USB port and I just hook up my iPod now... one of the best things to happen in my life lol I couldn't live without my music!!

End Of Days is an amazing song. Check out "Channel Zero" by Canibus if you like those types of songs. SO MUCH INFO to be learnt in those two songs alone, its crazy.

Once youve started listening to Vinnie Paz, and you can enjoy that type of music.. well its not long until you move on to Canibus LOL

For me I started listening to music in this order:

Tupac
Big L
Spice 1
Vinnie Paz
K-Reno
(some) Eminem
Canibus

MEANINGFUL Hip Hop is great to listen to, because if you are interested in lyrically talented artists, you can learn SO MUCH from just listening to their music.

Like I said, if you listen to ANY Canibus or Vinnie Paz/ K-Reno, you will learn things that you didnt even know existed :)

Glad to see somebody else interested in Hip Hop.

old rock like deep purple, judas priest, black sabbath, stones, the who, ramones, and some things old but not as much, like guns n roses, nirvana, joe satriani, alice in chains, a little metallica, pearl jam, red hot chilli peppers, i really love the smashing pumpkins and radiohead; so little newer music like yeah yeah yeahs ( i love'em), garbage and white stripes. and a lot really a lot of rock in spanish.

Rock.
Classic Rock.
Metal.
European Metal.
Alternative.
Industrial.
Techno industrial (club music).
Some 60 & 70's singer/songwriters and story tellers.

80's Retro.
Crossover rap/rock like Linkin Park and the newer Cypress Hill.
Classical.
Ambient.

Etc etc..

I have a fairly wide range of musical interests. Just no ghetto rap, hip hop, or new country.

Metal! Anything progressive, technical or melancholy. As long as its rock/metal based I am pretty open. The occasional classical or classic rock is ok too. I cannot stand modern R&B/Hip Hop/Rap. Basically all that crap they have on MTV that is deemed "popular".

Here are some bands I've been listening to lately:

Turbid North
Opeth
Soulfallen
Omnium Gatherum
Kalmah
Daylight Dies
Necrophagist
Nevermore
Edge Of Sanity
Tool
Disturbed
Joe Satriani
Agolloch
Between The Buried And Me

To answer the person's question about playing instruments, I've played guitar and bass for 14 years and I'm learning drums.

Anything but hillbillie cowboy music...I don't care about your damn tractor.

Lol!! Or your truck, your wife, your dog, or your fishing trip... ;)

As long as it's not rap, I can generally find something to like.

My favorite is hard rock. Blues is another type I enjoy.

i listen to static x, system of a down, disturbed, avenged sevenfold, skillet, cannibal corpse, carnifex, as i lay dying, bring me the horizon, the black dahlia murder, breaking benjamin, bullet for my valentine, cradle of filth, dethklok, the devil wears prada, escape the fate, drowning pool, eyes set to kill, nine inch nails, seether, tool, 30 seconds to mars, well thats just to name a few :) yes looks dont match addiction nor music type but oh well :P

I have everything from balinese gamelan to Dragon Force. I play the saxes and flute (music degree). I like older rap and hip-hop. I will listen to country (older stuff) and I hate pop. My favorites are:

Wagner
Berlioz
Franz Liszt
Charles Mingus
Stan Kenton
Zappa
Edgar Winter Group
The Clash
David Bowie
Malice Mizer (Japanese)
Miyavi (Japanese)
X Japan (Japanese)
Nightwish
Papa Roach
Radio Head
Tool
Scissor Sisters
Silversun Pickups
Anything by Nobuo Uematsu
Weird Al Yankovic
(And much much more)

Thats by no means a complete list.
I also have a soft spot for metal (all):)

Yes,that's what I'm talking about!

Neue deutsche todeskunst; neoclassical darkwave; funeral doom; electro in small dosages, first-early second wave gothic rock, and if I am in the right mood shoegaze or synthpop.
