A fast steady rhythm, plenty of texture, and maybe some vocals.
This means that I like techno, gothic, symphonic metal, and quite a bunch of other songs that fit my needs.
I don't listen to genre's because of the genre.

I love all music except Twangy country. Otherwise, I like it all. I'm very ecclectic when it comes to music.

Almost anything metal.
Rammsteinburg
19-08-2005, 03:51
I like rock and metal (as my nation's name makes obvious), and a few country songs aren't too bad. I'm not really into electronic music, but I like Kraftwerk. I've never had much of a taste for rap.

If I had to pick a favourite kind of music, it'd be German music. :D

Rammstein is considered partly electronic.

Rammstein is considered indie rock.


Rammstein is also considered industrial metal, though they like to call themselves "tanzmetal". I prefer calling them industrial metal. It's more specific than saying indie rock.

I used to have a really narrow taste in music (rock, and metal), but now days if something has a funky beat and isnt too slow, or too country I probably like it, from Middle Eastern beladi, to slightly pop 'club remixes'.

It's quite good liking lots of music types, since it means at any one time there is more music I am likely to like. ;)

(Echo Image, Apoptygma Berserk, VNV Nation, Beborn Beton, Deine Lakaien, T.O.Y. [AKA Evil's Toy], Wolfsheim, Cut.Rate.Box., :::Wumpscut:::, Funker Vogt, Rollergirl, Icon of Coil, etc.)

It really suks that I like this kind of music since it's practically impossible to get it here in the states without paying a fortune in shipping :( I personally can't stand the top 40 poop that's on the radio everywhere.

Various kinds of metal (my favourite being progressive), various kinds of rock, blues, latin-american, industrial, gothic, soul, jazz, classical, punk, funk, some pop (old and new), virtuoso stuff, disco music, acoustic guitar vocalists, experimental... I'll listen to most things.

Pretty much anything classed as rock, any rock genre really, with the exception of a few band, and the really heavy stuuf, although I do like a bit of really heavy stuff. Favourite bands are Led Zep, Black Sabbath, the Beatles, the Hives (so so so very good!), Metallica, SOAD, Althlete, Zutons.

I like to think I'm pretty open minded, I'll listen to anything, apart from rap, hip hop, dance, trance, manufactured pop, the fake r'n'b (Real rhthmn(sp?) and Blues is far better)

On a side note...How are Rammstein classed as Indie rock? Indie is more Oasis, Stone Roses, Kaiser Chiefs, Killers etc...Rammstein are Industrial if anything, not that I care too much about labels and genres, just that seemed rather unusual.

Ever notice how real indie (read=independent label music) never calls itself "indie"...and how a lot of "indie" bands are usually major-label acts?

its the latter crap i don't like - the stuff that is apparently, by grace of the media, "indie"
i don't mind in the least real indie (though i couldn't actually name any "real indie" bands, though a friend of mine at uni is really quite into his indipendent/unsigned indie bands so i hear a fair bit...)

Well, if you take the broad definition of "independent label" (ie. not under Epic, Sony, etc...), you probably listen to a lot of "indie" stuff without realising it. Indie doesn't make sense as a genre.

DJ Tiesto has got to be one of the best DJs I've heard in a long time. My only exposure to Ferry Corsten was a very, very nice much more trancey vesion of Apoptygma Berserk's "Kathy's Song". I happen to love that song. I'm not sure what you can get in your area, but if pure trance really moves you try Lasgo and/or Ian Van Dahl.

Rock as a whole, really, though my favorite subgenre is Punk Rock. I'm actually listening to the Dead Kennedys right now.

...And for the last time: "Indie" is NOT a genre, people. It's a label used to denote bands that are on independent record labels.

70's and 60's rock, some metal, jazz (contemporary, not all that acid jazz stuff), Blues, Hard Blues, Latin Rock, a bit of Classical (from driving in my grandma's car :rolleyes: ), and some electronica stuff as well (pretty interesting)!

I love Led Zeppelin, AC DC, Pink Floyd, Miles Davis, Van Morrison, Charles Mingus, The Clash, Black Sabbath, Santana, Audioslave, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Niel Young, and, ofcourse, Ja Rule (just kidding :p )

Rammstein, Enya, Adiemus, FF, 'The Black Mages' and about everything that an AMV has been done to. Don't forget Queen and the other rock music, I love those to.

Most of the modern music I like is local, like DeVotchka and Dressy Bessy. Oh, and I like Ben Folds Five, but not Ben Folds.

I think most modern music is crap.

Personally, I don't think the overall quality of music has changed much. There was plenty of crap released during the 60's, 70's, and 80's too, and a lot of the good stuff went relatively unnoticed until well after their time. The only difference is that we don't have any super-bands and artists since Nirvana died.

"Alternative rock" I'd say would be bands such as Muse....indie is more whiney and crap (sorry... :p ) eg Travis, Coldplay...

Heh, either way, when you go to a shop and buy the cd it all comes under "rock" anyway.

Hmm. I didn't think Travis and Coldplay came under "indie". I thought it applied more to stuff like Franz Ferdinand...and..um, I saw a band live once that sucked...they were supposedly indie. I forget the name, but they were British. But anyway, see? "Indie" is like emo, nobody can really explain what it is. :p

And yeah, you're right...
