Just wondering.

Do you mean rock as in music or rock as in stones?

chalk, its so damn pourous!

i like it all
my favourite changes according to my mood

Igneous. Or alternatively, "Extreme" Power Metal. *does the horns, going "woooo!"*

Granite and/or industrial depending on what the actual question is.

bob dylan's hippie music??? :eek: :confused:

I picked heavy metal. While I prefer rock as a whole to metal as a whole, if I were to pick one genre of either it would be heavy metal, as exemplified in the poll.

:gundge: i like all types of rock music, heavy metal, soft, who cares. As long as it doesn't sound like crap. referring to good charlotte

Amen To That. They Don't ACUALLY play music.

Metal...and metallica isn't hair metal

Just a little confused by the examples given.

Billy Joel is rock?
Blink 182 are punk?

Perhaps I just have different concepts attached to these labels.

Anyway, my favourite is strongly Blues based rock, which, given the options translates as Classic (Led Zep).

Um... classic, metal (including industrial) and grunge-post grunge 90's stuff...

I listen mostly to industrial music, some electronica, and death metal..=) and maybe some alt. rock...

Finally somebody who understands

Duh. It's Protest music. :gundge:

hippies can't protest... they don't have it in them :D . god bless those fun-loving people... ahhh

Metal...and metallica isn't hair metal


WTF?!?!?!?!? Since when is Metallica NOT hair metal?
(make a poll; see what everyone else thinks.)

What is this :gundge: guy doing anyway?

Grunge, Alternative, Stoner, Blues or Punk rock. Depends on the mood, though overall I like them equally. Okay, maybe grunge is a *little* in front. :)

And who told you Blink 182 was punk? Do yourself a favour and go listen to the Dead Kennedys, Refused, The Partisans, etc..

I voted "classic rock", but I like "heavy metal" too, as broad a range as they both encompass...

None of the above. I'm into Indie Goth/GOA/Psytrance.

Chose heavy metal but my taste is fairly varied. Blues, soft, classic, old, progressive, grunge, indie, jazz influenced....

my favourite type of rock music is indie.

well, Blink 182 a) Sucks Balls, and b) Is kind of modern punk.

Personally, The kind of punk I like Includes the Ramones, etc.
I was trying to prove that modern sh** like Blink 182 is way overruled by good music.

I guess, but there's modern punk that still rules. Like Refused. :)

By the way, you have my respect- I loathe Blink 182.

Blues is the most fun to play, classic rock is the best to listen to, so I like them blended, like Led Zepp.

Kanabia, Melbourne is where AC/DC is from! Is it cool there? :rolleyes: :confused:

Since they've existed....Metallica was a thrash band reacting against the hair meral scene in LA...which is bands like Motley crue....they then became a main stream metal band with blues rock and even country influences on the new stuff..they were never a hair metal band..

Be fair, they did have the hair.

(I don't think you mean hair meral.)



Like I said, make a poll!

They had long hair...so did Slayer...and Iron Maiden...Judas Priest....Behemoth..Death....Megadeth.....Children of Bodom....Arch Enemy....Mayhem...none of those are hair metal bands. You make a poll. I know enough about the bay area thrash scene already.

First, Bob Dylan did Folk music, he is NOT a hippy and Blink 182 is NOT punk rock.

My taste runs from Classic rock, to 80s Metal, to 90s Grunge, to modern Metal and Gothic rock. I never could get into Death Metal and the like so I tend to draw the line just short of the REALLY heavy stuff.

I'm a hippie and I say Dylan is! :rolleyes: :)

sorry, I'm too lazy.

I like Linkin Park a lot. They're not classified as anything on the list. :|

They're kinda nu-metal. Or just bad. Either way, not really linked to rock.

I refuse to vote on the poll because of some inherent errors:

1. Metallica is/was heavy/thrash metal.

2. AC/DC is considered classic rock.

3. Blink 182 is NOT PUNK ROCK. *smack* (see: Misfits, Sex Pistols, et al.)

4. You forgot blues rock. (ZZ Top, et al.)

5. You forgot numetal (KoRn, et al.)

6. You forgot alt.metal (Tool, et al.)

7. You forgot doom/death metal. (Death, et al.)

8. You forgot industrial rock/metal (NIN, Rammstein, Ministry, et al.)

With that said, I listen to almost all forms of rock -- some of my favorites being David Bowie, The Doors, ZZ Top, Static-X, KoRn (old stuff), NIN, Rammstein, AC/DC and a whole buttload of other bands.

I like Industrial, Punk, Metal (not hair) and classic rock. I also like some 60's hippie music and soft rock. I guess I just can't choose.

Pink Floyd

Didn't vote either as how can Blink 182 be classed as PUNK, plus you had no INDIE section.

But my favourite rock music types are classic (e.g Led Zep), punk (e.g The Clash), mod (The Jam, The Who) and indie (e.g Bloc Party, The Libertines)

This one needs to be a multi-option poll, so I can vote for Hippy music, Hairbands, Punk and Classic!

I guess, but there's modern punk that still rules. Like Refused.

Refused Are Fuckin' Dead.

Metamorphic dude...not quite sedimentary, not quite igneous....best of both worlds

seriously though...I love metal in most forms....classic rock....death metal....industrial....alt. rock....you name it, I probably enjoy it :p

grunge, post-grunge, alternative, post-rock, alt.metal, industrial rock

I'd say Punk rock for me, but not Blink 182, just the good stuff like Sex Pistols, Distillers, Rancid, the Buzzcocks etc. But if rock's good then it's good, theres no specific genre of it that better, I don't think. As long as it's rock, it's cool :) (exceptions: Green day, Good Charlotte etc)

i like it all
my favourite changes according to my mood

Same here, so didn't vote on poll.

I find it funny that you call Blink 182 "Punk Rock". This is why I shall not participate in this sham of a poll.

my favourite type of rock music is indie.

Ugh. Indie means the band is on an independent label. It isn't a fricking genre!

I voted punk but it made me queasy that you provided blink 182 as the example of punk music. That is bubblegum pop music for tweens, not punk. More specifically I like Psychobilly, which is really its own form of music, but probably falls under the umbrella of punk music.

Classic Rock/Hair Metal/60s Hippy Music...

They rule, but only one vote. Dang it. Regardless, mine went to Classic Rock.

ditto that man's comment

Well here in Britain it is classed as a genre by some. Most of the modern Indie takes its influences from Britpop of the 90s and bands like the Smiths in the 80s. Examples of "Indie" bands are Bloc Party :) , The Coral, The Futureheads.

your poll is to small

my favorite type of music is by far metal
broken down by catagory
1.power metal:
.blind guardian
.edguy
.nightwish
.iced earth
.helloween
.rhapsody
etc..
2.heavy metal:
.iron maiden
.saxon
.judas priest
.manOwar
etc..
3.speed/thrash metal:
.pre-load era metallica
.megadeth
.the crown
.exodus
.manuipulated slaves
etc..
4.gothic metal
.tristania
.sirenia
.battle lore
.tvangeste
.aesma daeva
etc..
5.melodic death metal:
.arch enemy
.dark tranquility
.children of bodom
etc..
6.black
.immortal
.dimmu borgir
etc..
:cool:


P.S.
all these bands feature members with long hair, that doesn't make them so called 80's "hair bands" I.E. glam like poison, fire house, stryper etc...

Punk rock: BLINK 182!?!?!?
GOI#O@!#)%

If that is what you think punk is, I pity you, sir. I like many kinds of rock, punk being one of them. Listen to the Clash. Listen to the Buzzcocks. Listen to Stiff Little Fingers. Listen to Against Me!. Do not ever, ever listen to Blink 182. If you think that is representative of punk music and you think punk sucks, give it another chance. I missed out on punk for years by judging it by modern, mainstream "punk" bands. That's like judging metal by the Darkness or classic rock by Boston or rap by Lil' Bow Wow.

I'm also a fan of psychedelic rock, classic rock and very, very small amount of New Wave (you can't deny Talking Heads.)

"Punk Rock (i.e. Blink 182)"
I will kick your teeth in and make you gum on them then I will rip out your eyes and skull fuck you and then stab you and rape the wounds. jk, but seriously blink 182 is not the leat bit representative of punk music in general. Additionaly the chick from the distillers could kill them all with her bare hands all at once and still have the energy to rock all the blink fans into tinitic oblivion.

Well fuck, he said it better.

Kanabia, Melbourne is where AC/DC is from! Is it cool there? :rolleyes: :confused:

The local rock scene revolves around emo. mostly.

So the answer is no. :p

I guess my Favourite is HAir MEtal but really Ealy 90's Rock is my Fav!

I'venever even heard of 'hair metal' :/
I also think it's amusing how lots of people chastise you for not creating a diverse selection, then list loads of slightly different genres which all follow similar 'loud and noisy' trends and completely ignore the fact there are otehr forms of rock such as folk-rock, alternative, etc :P
Anyway, my vote's for whatever you want to call Pink Floyd, with modern British indie in second place.

chalk, its so damn pourous!

So obvious, but it made me laugh :)

I definitely don't know which to vote. I love punk (a genre of which I do NOT consider Blink 182 to belong), but I'm also hugely into the underground scene and local music in my area. THERE'S NO SELECTION FOR THIS!

So I just didn't vote, haha haha.....take that!
