Some people are music snobs and will only listen to things from certain genres, while others will judge each track/artist individually.

I tend to be more of the second one, but I find that most "pop" is crap and I prefer things from the "metal" genre.

I listen to a lot of different music. Though I do tend to avoid 'pop' and 'dance' 'music'.

ditto.

i don't like music that has no soul, no power, no feeling or energy... so that rules out most pop. i also don't like most techno/dance/club music as a rule, largely cos i find the music & lyrics banal, repetitive and boring. music thats designed purely to be danced to is idiotic imho and misses much of the point about music - the power and energy, not to mention stories and ideas it can convey.
also i think there are too many songs about love, especially in pop. as Ronnie James Dio once said "its so easy to write a song that says 'i love you baby', but its hard to express other emotions"

i like most types of rock (except realy light stuff, unless its a ballad) and range from Cream & Yesca to Sepultura and Morbid Angel. i also like a bit of Jazz, but i don't know where to start in getting some:(

This is where we all talk about how we like all music because we're so accepting, right?

I'll tolerate anything except rap/hip-hop, boy bands, and whatever Britney Spears is classified as (slut-pop?). Those are just.. ugh. Some pop is ok, but most is just barely tolerable.

I hold a particular fondness for rock, pretty much the whole genre is acceptable.
Well, except for some of more stupid pop-rock. (Good Charlotte, Simple Plan.)

I'd prefer honesty, actually.

I hate pop and sex-brag-burble (AKA rap). Real Rap tends to be OK with me.

Otherwise I like everything from the Beatles through Genesis and the Buzzcocks up to Franz Ferdinand and Oasis.

Of course there are exceptions, everything Busted did for example :mp5:

Yeah, that's true.

I avoid classic and jazz. I prefer rock.

Anything that's interesting, really.

I like Mozart, Beethoven and Mussorgski just as much as Dido, Red Hot Chili Pepers and System of a Down...

I don't like techno/dance music, I find hip hop rather boring and I somehow can't find anything interesting about most RMB songs...

I mostly like rock. I've got hundreds of CDs ranging from Judas Priest to Luciano Pavarotti. I love Metallica, but Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennet too.
Pink Floyd,Van Halen.
Kitaro. Dave Matthews.Led Zeppelin. Silverchair. Jimmy Buffet. Pantera
Maybe its the multiple personalities....I dont know.


I dont like rap or hip-hop or anything in that vein.

There is even some country I like. I'm liking Toby Keith lately after a trip out west and not much else on the radio.

I like (the best of):

Pop (there's a reason it's on the radio... 1/4/5 sounds good)
Rock (better rock is also on the radio... 1/4/5 again)
Metal
Country (howl at the moon!)
Classical/Baroque/Romantic (old music) -- the masters!
Rap/Hip-Hop

so... i'll listen to pretty much all popular genres. of course whether or not i like it depends on the music, EG, I'd much rather listen to a good metal song than a crappy pop song.. it's all about the music, imo.

At our hotel in Cancun, all they played was Bob Marley... I came to appreciate his music.

I like most types of rock ranging from Metallica, Ministry, and Marilyn Manson to light stuff by Paul Simon and Suzanne Vega. I like some folk and bluegrass, I like a very limited ammount of jazz, and I don't listen to rap, R&B, or classical.

Depending upon my mood I like just about any kind of music except for Opera and Rap. They both grate on my nerves as bad as someone running their fingernails down a chalk board.

*snarl*grumble*sneer* Hey, I MAKE dance music (Techno n' Eleectro) Actually you're opinion doesn't bother me. But the point of Techno is to get you moving and induce euphoria...thats a pretty powerful pair things to do. Just wanted to point that out. I also make plain old music...genres are straight jackets and having a vocalist singing meaningful lyrics is a powerful tool. Something about me loves just going full speed ahead, non-stop. Techno is supreme for this, as is DnB.

With that said, I judge music on an individual song/tracks meritsI love techno, but I also love stoner rock like The Melvins and Kyuss, punk both old and new (underground), folk music, hippy fluff, hip hop, jazz, prog rock, classical, opera and even some country (especially earlier stuff like Hank Williams) If its good its good. Period. I prefer music of the underground variety, but I also love mainstream acts like Outkast (geniuses!) and the Balck Eyed Peas. I find it ironic that the people who make the music usually have a very wide range musical taste and love a lot of music that their own fans would hate. Drummers for some reason are prone to terrible taste in music...some weird quirk of evolution I suppose.

For me, as a general rule, the darker, the angrier, the harder, the heavier, the better. I Love Metal, like punk, dislike Pop and FUCKING HATE country music with every fibre of my being. Rap sucks but Eminem has some fucked up and hilarious lyrics.
But there is a sub-set of music I like which diverges from this rule completely:
I love Radiohead and classic works from Beethoven and Tchicovsky(sp?).
This music just totally relaxes me and makes me feel at peace. I can feel the slow malanky lizards crawling all up and down me spine, as it were.
Ahhhhhh! :)

I have a very wide taste. I won't rule out anything. (That does not mean I like everytihng; it means I won't generalise about genres.)

Well, I'd say my tastes are pretty damn broad. (Baroque/Romantic) Classical through Latin Jazz, Big Band, Swing, Modern Jazz, Reggae (Dub especially), Heavy Metal, Rock and Roll, Blues, Hard Rock, House, Disco, Garage Rock, Early 90's Britrock, and Bjork.

I have a very wide taste. I won't rule out anything. (That does not mean I like everytihng; it means I won't generalise about genres.)

Stop posting that! :p

I have a very wide taste. I won't rule out anything. (That does not mean I like everytihng; it means I won't generalise about genres.)

My CD collection

--snip--

Total: 226 albums.

Thats just gratuitous. If you want to get into a pissing contest about how many albums you own, I could just post the insurance adjusters list of my record collection, 3000 strong and growing...with pricing estimates for all of them too. Nobody except yourself and your friends really cares THAT much about your music collection, though a fair number of trainspotters DO care about mine. But nobody HERE gives a toss about my collection, or yours. Not enough to read through some giant list. People find it annoying. I don't, but then again I have to restrain myself from doing the same thing. You might want to cool it a bit.

Some people are music snobs and will only listen to things from certain genres, while others will judge each track/artist individually.

I tend to be more of the second one, but I find that most "pop" is crap and I prefer things from the "metal" genre.

Metallica to Mozart. Miles Davis to Bob Marley. :)

A little Raggae here and there, classical, and rock. LOTS of rock. The Beatles, Van Halen, and some of the new stuff. I hate Rap with a passion. It makes me want to kill whoever wrote it.

I listen to heavy metal and rap music, classical music and what I consider the soundtrack of the 60s and 70s. 50s Rock'n'Roll is great, so is the 40s big bands. And yes, I even like listening to March music (usually when cleaning my apartment including windows, vacuuming, and mopping the floor, though ;))

Stop posting that! :p

Actually, it's easier to just copy and paste that list than to type out a list of genres I like. I'm not trying to show off, I'm just giving people information about what music I like.
