What Is Your Favorite Genre Of Music

What is your favorite genre of music? Who is your favorite artist? What is your favorite song? This is basically my attempt in seeing how many people like what type of music and if rap is becoming more popular than anything else (it's all I see on TV anymore). Please answer these questions or ask more about music in general here. This will also help me get to know you all better and hopefully cause more people to join this group.

MKohen in reply to astrozombies138Jul 31, 2008. 7:31 PM
Yes, original ska is so much better, especially the English Beat. I also like GodspeedYou! Black Emperor, Radiohead, Fleet Foxes, Neutral Milk Hotel, F*ck Buttons, My Morning Jacket, other varied bands and genres...

British pop. And yes, I do like rap and the hippity hop. I particulary like Kanye, and Timbaland. Right now, my favorite british pop artist is mika. Here's a clip (if I can get it to work).




guyfrom7up says: Feb 4, 2008. 6:06 PM
electric, hiphop, lite rap (none of that dark 50-cent stuff, more like kanye west or outkast, Korean rap is the best) Pretty much anything by Outkast and Kanye west
guyfrom7up in reply to guyfrom7upFeb 4, 2008. 7:18 PM
and gorillaz
Dr.Paj (author) in reply to guyfrom7upFeb 4, 2008. 7:51 PM
The Gorillaz newest album doesn't sound like their old album at all, it's too much like a lullaby like their song stop the dams or something.
jessyratfink says: Feb 4, 2008. 7:17 PM
Hmm. I don't know that I have a favorite genre, honestly. I can tell you want I don't listen to, though. ;) As for favorite artists (can't pick just one, probably leaving some out.) - Tom Petty, Old 97s, Neko Case, Fiona Apple, David Bowie, Jack Johnson, Regina Spektor, Elliot Smith, KT Tunstall, The Clash, Flamng Lips, The Smiths, etc... this entire list used to be punk rock. I've changed a bit. And my favorite song of the moment is probably "I Don't Want You Now" by KT Tunstall. But this changes weekly.
LinuxH4x0r says: Feb 4, 2008. 6:49 PM
Hendrix, SOAD, Immortal technique, lots of others
Goodhart says: Feb 4, 2008. 4:41 PM
Favorite type of music actually involves a lot of different types: I listen to Classical music mostly, but that involves things from chamber music and symphonies to blasting Beethoven and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.

But I like most types of music, from way back up until now. I am not much for Rap, but have a fondness for one "song".



Dr.Paj (author) in reply to GoodhartFeb 4, 2008. 5:18 PM
Just a heads up, your first clip will not play, and I doubt it will.
Goodhart in reply to Dr.PajFeb 4, 2008. 5:35 PM
Dr.Paj (author) in reply to GoodhartFeb 4, 2008. 5:39 PM
Yup the link works, I like one of the comments right under the clip. It says "F%#%$'n Great!" I believe. I wonder why his comment is scored -1?
Goodhart in reply to Dr.PajFeb 4, 2008. 5:43 PM
I don't know. I do know if you know the story the music on the album (CD) is woven around, that video makes a lot more sense (all the young ladies are Muses, except the first one to enter: that is FATE).
Pat Sowers says: Feb 4, 2008. 1:56 PM

Pat Sowers in reply to astrozombies138Feb 4, 2008. 4:53 PM
i dont have any black metal so i had to go to google............. i do listen to it but i dont own the music so i have no idea who it is by.......................
astrozombies138 in reply to Pat SowersFeb 4, 2008. 5:00 PM
ah, just be careful saying who you listen to, alot of black metal fans and bands are a bit... erm extremist , such as when burzum and his crew ran around norway burning churches, as well as killing the guitarist in his band mayhem.... Alot of other black metal bands have a great sound but some of them are very anti human to the point where they incorporate many upside down crosses and swastikas into their their logo
Pat Sowers in reply to astrozombies138Feb 4, 2008. 5:14 PM
Have you heard of the band called deathstares? I think they are good! to my eyes............. whipslasher is dressed as a Hitler most of the time. and most of their songs are about killing and death.
astrozombies138 in reply to Pat SowersFeb 4, 2008. 5:25 PM
thats industrial, my ex listened to alot of that stuff, its not my thing, but i remember her liking acumen nation and dj acucrack never really like it. but if you want black metal check out these bands

I listen to a lot of power metal. I don't know if it would be considered my favorite, but here lately it has been about 70% of the stuff I have listened to.
Dr.Paj (author) in reply to its a lionFeb 4, 2008. 3:40 PM
Power metal? You mean the stuff in rechargeable batteries? Lithium (Li)?

Symphonic Game Music :)


trebuchet03 says: Feb 4, 2008. 1:56 PM
...if rap is becoming more popular than anything else (it's all I see on TV anymore).

I'm willing to bet it's what you watch rather than one genre taking over ;) I, for one, have not noticed this... But my TV is usually on for background noise and is on either the Discovery, History or Food Networks :p


I listen to a few genre's - I can tolerate most.

Currently, I have a Queen CD playing (currently on "Play the Game") :p
CyrusII says: Feb 4, 2008. 1:52 PM
anything from 1920's to 1970's, wasnt a fan of the 80's or 90's
NachoMahma says: Feb 4, 2008. 1:43 PM
. I like most genres. I guess if I have to pick one it would be Rock. . Favorite artist and song? Depends on what mood I'm in. . . I like some Rap (eg, Tone Loc, Everclear, &c), but I just can't get into "gansta."
whatsisface says: Feb 4, 2008. 1:21 PM
