I like Rock but I have a thing for Jazz too.

I like Rock but I have a thing for Jazz too.
exactly the same here. wide ranging taste in rock (used to be mostly metal), and i like jazz. recently getting into classical a bit, and tolerating hip-hop (a bit). also kinda like drum n bass, too...

edit: oh yeah and blues :)

Rock.

Specifically (My top 4):
The Beatles (Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds)
The Clash (London Calling)
The Cure (Jumping Someone Else's Train)
The Ramones (I Wanna Live)

Electro-Techno-Downbeat-Ambient-Goth-Goa.

I think there is one label that carries my stuff....

Currently listening to Boot Party's Working Class Thug.

I still like Oi!

"We're not the redskins or the elite, just poor kids from the streets
We don't believe in your new world order, do our best to cause disorder!"

Rock.

Specifically (My top 4):
The Beatles
The Clash
The Cure
The Ramones

Those are Good. I like:
The Beatles
The Greatful Dead
Jimi
Eric Clapton

But I like it all.

Rock (classic, punk, modern, etc.), Ska, Jazz (classic and Modern), blues, some hip-hop, Metal (Death, Thrash, Power), Classical.

Yeah, I think that covers it.

The Beatles

Both Layla's are awesome songs, though my favorite is 'London Calling'.

Rock is too broad a category for me to vote for it, even though all of my favorite bands fall under that unimaginably broad category.

I guess I forgot to mention I love Ska and listen to a lot of Punk as well.

Ramones were brilliant. White Riot isn't bad at all, but Clash isn't really my cup of homebrewed vodka.

How about Laurel Aitkin, Sham69, The Specials & The Business? Any of you know/like?

Rock. My favorite bands are as follows:

The Professionals (I Ain't Gonna Be A Kamikaze)
The Sex Pistols (No Future For You)
The Ramones (I Wanna Be Sedated)
Husker Du (Whas This Your Celebrated Summer)
Glen Matlock and the Philistines (Don't You Wish That You Were On Something)

White Riot isn't bad at all

You're damn right it wasn't "bad at all". It was fucking great, and it still is!

No, for The Ramones, it's 'I Wanna Live' or, cliche-er, 'Blitzkrieg Bop'.

You're damn right it wasn't "bad at all". It was fucking great, and it still is!

Damn straight!

Notice I did say is ;)

Anyway, the best Ramones songs, in order, is:
Too Tough To Die
Psycho Therapy
I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
Hey Daddy-o (or whatever the fuck it's called)

There's only one really good Sex Pistols song (well I think so anyway):
Friggin' in The Riggin'

Hüsker Dü isn't much better than SP in my opinion, but they can play. I guess that's always good.

Still, Oi! Bands blows most of the old '77 stuff away.
If you guys dig the old UK 82' scene, check out
Disorder (this band kicks so much ass it's unbelievable)
External Menace
The 4 Skins
Abrasive Wheels
The Adicts
Angelic Upstarts
Anti NoWhere League
The Blitz
The Cockney Rejects
.... Whew, this could become a long list! I think I better stop now. The old UK 82' bands are much heavier and faster than the 77' stuff. Like a cross between the 77' sound, NYHC and Oi! Not bad at all.

I'll call you "Mr. Strangetaste" from now on.

Violin techno! :D

I'll call you "Mr. Strangetaste" from now on.
Err... Why?

Err... Why?

I have my reasons.

*continues listening to These Important Years by Husker Du*

I like pretty much anything except country. So I like Metallica, the Beach Boys, Blink 182, and Relient K. I also really like Gregorian chant and Enya, and Celtic music in general. So, yeah. Pretty much everything. Although come to think of it, I'm not really into much hip-hop. Although it's not all bad. I even heard a country song the other day I actually kind of like.

Any genre as long as I like the song.

Yet again, I cannot choose just one! I don't know how anyone can! :p

Come on, you've got to have a favorite!

This isn't just choosing one genre to listen to. It's about which one you like best.

My new favorite band is Fireball Ministry. Some sort of stoner rock, the singers voice even vaguely resembles Ozzy's.

there are these people who likes "whatever's on the radio at the moment".

Urgh.

I would vote for rock, but that encompasses so many of these "sub-genres" that its really difficult.

The band I listen to is bluesy rock mixed in with punk. That's as specific as I can get (short of naming the band).

YAY! Anothere RK fan (they're my fave band) :D

I've been trying to get some of their stuff off the internet but it won't let me. I hate technology when it doesn't work. :headbang:

Classical all the way! Long live the essence of Western music. If classical music disappeared then a lot of the scores from epic films or RTS games would sound queer asa gay bar!

I like music that ranges from Rock, (primarily crust, emo and hardcore, but a wide range of it), Electronica, (mostly industrial and gabber, detroit techno and jungle too) orchestral music, jazz, noise, ska, funk and I must admit an undying (and recently aquired)love for gangsta rap. :D

Techno and gangsta rap....

*shakes head* the rest is mainly fine with me.... :D

Rock is my favorite genre. That's hard rock, punk, metal, whatever. Just as long as it isn't soft rock. *Cringes in pain.*
I also like SOME R&B and hip-hop.
I will listen to very specific pop subgenres, artists, and songs, but if it gets to bubblegummy, I will turn my nose up in disgust.
I also like reggae, reggaeton, and classical, but only when I'm in the mood for it.

I tend to avoid religious music, unless it is especially good.

I HATE 99.9% of all country, bluegrass, etc., especially country posing as rock. *Shudders.*

*hands you a cookie*

*hands you a cookie*
*Accepts graciously.*

70's and 80's metal.
70's and 80's hard rock,
60's,70's classic rock
Classical stuff like paganini

*Accepts graciously.*

I figured that would happen :P.

By the way... Have you ever listened to Husker Du?

Currently my favorite genre is Psychedelic Trance.

I figured that would happen :P.

Nope. I'm pretty set in my ways musically. *Shrugs, scolds self.*

Hahaha, I'm the same way. It takes a really good song to get me into a band I've never heard before.

I really do recommend Husker Du. Their music stands the test of time... It's still as fresh as it was back in the 80's. Listen to "Newest Industry" and "Celebrated Summer", and you'll see what I mean.

I like a genre that's hard to define. Find some folk, alt.country, surf music, psychedelic rock. Mix it together, shake it, ignite... voila!

Bands: Mojave 3, Neil Halstead, Wilco (but only the late albums)


I also like strange mixed styles, such as Dread Zeppelin (some Led Zeppelin songs, a Elvis impersonator, and a Jamaïcan reggae band. Wow.)


Oh, and add some shoegazer (ambiant pop) music from the 1990s.

Bands: Lush (best show ever!!!), Curve, Slowdive, Auburn Lull, ...

Sure, I'll try to bring myself to give it a try. :p

metal, mainly black and thrash metal, classical, and old style jazz.

Oh, I forgot the best genre of all: PARODY! :D

Husker Du are better.

NO one surpasses the power of Weird Al!

Heh. A funny thing happened back when I was in 1st grade... It was such a boring day, and when the bell rang, I was very glad. I rushed out into the hall with everyone else, and I ended up next to my friend (he was three years older than me, and his class was in a different building... weird). Anyway, he started singing "Like A Surgeon". Everyone around him started cracking up.

Good stuff.

I can't believe you did that: You include Rap but leave out Heavy Metal?!?

Booooh!!! :p

I'm deeply disappointed. :(

Other than HM, I also listen to 70s Rock, Classical music (yes, Beethoven rocks! Mozart does too. Can't get enough of Bach either).

Well, actually I listen to songs, not bands or genres. :D

"Audible" is my favourite music genre.

Mostly Metal and Hard Rock, some Punk, some Folk

Lay some groovy funk/rock on me brother

Though im not surprised at all that rock is OWNing the other categories, i am surprised that Rap so far has gotten 0 votes, I feel very proud of people right now.....but maybe its just that some people that listen to rap arent very intelligent, and have no clue about this website or how to use it. >.<

punk rock. should be its own catagory.

punk rock and hardcore based stuff is my favorite

I don't have a favorite type of music but i have a favorite band

casting crowns!
