What kind of music do you like?

[tigerlily46514]

SOUL is my favorite.  And all it's cousins, R& B, blues, jazz,   Oh yeah, jazz.  mmm mmmm.
I love EVERY kinda music, except heavy metal, but honestly, if i tried, i might could find something in that genre i do like.  
i love SOUL, classical,  jazz, R& B, country, (i'm no hick-phobe!  country took me a while, but i listened and found there are a LOTTA kinds of country music, and some of it i LOVE) rap, (yeah, i'm old.  i liked way back when too)  hip hop, REGGAE, new age, big band, even disco (good for workouts) and music from other countries.... but soul music, can't sit still.....

MUSIC IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE!!!!!!!!

I like some of every kind of music (except country, somehow), and hate other parts of the same genre. I like certain songs in rock, for example, and hate others. For the most part, I describe my favorite song styles like this:

"I listen to music. If I like it, it's my style. If it's not, it's not."

While I was a massive head-banger in my younger days, I'm afraid I'm not so much into it now.  I always said I'd never grow out of it, and while I still appreciate it as a music form, I just can't listen to it.  I might have the desire to but after one song, I'm ready to change the tune.

I love Chick Indie Rock/Folk (Joan Jett, Indigo Girls, Sarah MacLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Mellisa Etheridge, Heart, Ani DeFranco, Dixie Chicks--my lone Country favorite, Pink, etc.) as well as Celtic mood music.  I love classic rock (70s country-rock, big hair 80s rock, etc.) and other stuff, like Van Halen, Boston, Styx, Journey, REO Speedwagon, etc.  

I also love just about anything that was played on the TV shows "Ed" and "Scrubs."

If it was released in the past 10 years, chances are I don't like it.  I don't care for country as a rule, nor do I care for Rap at all.  I don't even really appreciate Rap as a genre... except for Beastie Boys.  LOL!

I do declare, Rose, you are a woman after mah own heart!

I love Chick Indie/folk. Especially Ani DeFranco, Joan Jett(What? I have a thing for a women who could kick my ass ) and Sarah MacLachlan. Also, Tori Amos, Dave Matthews Band, and a few others, I listen to too relax.


Also, I absolutely love Punk, both old and new, Sex Pistols Iggy Pop, G.G., Ramones, Rise against, (Old) AFI, Bayside, Dropkick Murphys, Flogging Molly, Pogues, and Bad Religion, to name a few.


Metal, I love. Smart lyrics with dark tones, like Tool, APC (yes, i know, Maynard is the front man for both), Deftones, Atreyu, Mudvayne, and Coheed and Cambria.

Alternative, like Incubus, hoobastank, RHCP (more the old stuff than anything), Everclear, Foo Fighters ( LOVE!) and Smashing Pumpkins.

I also love my old school, like Billy Idol, Johnny Cash, and the man I consider to be quite possibly the most amazing artist to date, John Lennon.

I also love Tori Amos and Dave Matthews!  And Punk was a pre-occupation when I was in college.  I experimented, let's just leave it at that.  LOL!

...and the man I consider to be quite possibly the most amazing artist to date, John Lennon.

Wow... while I'd leave the metal to you, we meet on every other point, especially this one.  Lennon was god.  

[Churchworker]

My favorites are "For whom the bells troll"
and "Dog bless America."

Okay, for all you metal fans out there,


Atreyu, a band that is still on the underground (I really recommend that you check out some of their older works, anything before The Curse, my favorite song is Ain't Love Grand) is putting out a new album. I don't know the name, but one of the songs is Becoming The Bull. It is amazing. They have really outdone themselves this time. All teh fury and passion and torment that they let out is both cathartic and electric.


Thrice, one of my all time favorties, also are putting out a dual-disk release.  It is based off of the two elements, Fire and Water. For fans of more mellow, but still emotionally charged music, Water is a definite must, along with their last album, Vheissu. For fans of hard hitting, loud, fast, Kick your door down and punch you in the face style music, Fire, along with the OLD Thrice CD, Identity Crisis, is a must. I warn you in advance. Thrice had some serious Christian meanings in their old stuff, but if you can appreciate it for the music and the passion behind the music, then you will absolutely adore this band.

How do you get someone into Melodic Death Metal?  Introduce them to one of the best bands in that genre I've ever heard:

Mercenary:

This block on military internet is really pissin me off. You tube, Myspace, along with random ass sites are simply blocked on all government systems.

Metal seems to be popular here. I liked NIN & Tool at one point (when I was 13/14, so years ago now) and I'm good friends with a couple of metal bands which are quite well known here in the Bristol but you guys wont have heard of them, but I've never really been into it.

My taste is extremely broad, so I won't be able to delve that far into it:

I like a bit of electronica (Jean Michel Jarre, Kraftwerk & some others).

1950s and early 60s pop music, before the influence of the Beatles really set in (Helen Shapiro, Sinatra, Dusty Springfield, Lesley Gore, Gale Garnett and so on).

Rock and roll & folk (Duane Eddy, Johnny & The Hurricanes et cetera).

Punk & emotional punk. And I don't mean modern 'punk' (yeah we're rebelling against the system maaan. 'Cept we're not, we're just going by a really old, really repetitive formula to con gullible bovine fools) or 'emo' (waaa it's hard being a spoilt brat). I mean the original British stuff of the 70s & 80s before it caught on in the States, excessive commercialism took over and it was made into the kind of insufferable whiny formulaic crap MTV has to offer.

Having said that though, initially the influence punk had on American music was good. I see Blondie as an American answer to punk & I adore the woman.

I'm too lazy to list any more.
