PUNK, punk, PuNk, PUnk, ska, punk, PUNk, metal, PUnK, pUnk, small-art (literal translation) aaaaaand......punk

seconded, my good twin

Hard Rock: Late 60s to early 70s.

Alternative Rock, Punk, Hardcore, Ska, Reggae, Jazz, Pop, Classic, Country.

Almost everything actually. As long as it's good.

Classic Rock, I also like some Country because that is what my parents listened to my whole childhood.

My Favourite Band is quite obviously Led Zeppelin.

My Favourite Country singer is Garth Brooks.

I'll listen to any genre if I find a song I like well enough, but I tend to lean towards alternative.

For every genre of music that exists, you can probably find me at least one song in their that I'll like, or can learn to like. (Seriously, I'll hear a song, be all 'eh...' then a week later it'll be OMGMustlistentosong! Eyup)

I don't even have a specific genre that I usually stick to. I go in phases.

Grunge, old school punk, stoner rock, the blues, and certain types of metal. I picked metal.

I'm also partial to spanish folk music...though I can't say my knowledge in that field is particularly dense.

Metal storm. All kinds of metal. Except the ones that are a] not real metal, and b] inaudible over the buzzing.

hey i done a poll! :D
With some GIANT holes...jazz? classical (Countdown to the music nerds going on about the name)? Blues?

Dammit man, I know you can't get everything but sheesh...

Dammit man, I know you can't get everything but sheesh...

yeah i know but you have no idea how many polls ive tried to make that have gone wrong.

Prog rock! Woo!

if your music isnt there mention it, also say your favourite band/ song etc.
I tend to favor "World" music, although I listen to every sort, with the exception of nasal C & W and most "rap." :p

the strokes, franz ferdindand, the killers... and surpisingly i also like eninem too.

Jazz all the way. Give me some Coltrane, Pat Metheny, Herbie Hancock, Mahavishnu Orchestra, King Crimson (not really jazz jazz but its like a hard classic rock with a jazz touch), Wayne Shorter, anything from the Real Book.

I can't believe you don't have classical on there. Beethoven and Bach are probably my favorites.

I can't believe you don't have classical on there. Beethoven and Bach are probably my favorites.

I like to PLAY Beethoven and Bach, but I often prefer to listen to later composers both of which are because their music is very mathematically correct. It makes it easier to play, but less interesting to my ears. I prefer latter eras of classical music where they started breaking the rules, but before they forgot the rules and started calling noise music.

I chose Heavy Metal. And Other. The Other(s) would be Alternative and Industrial.

Christian Rock and Rap-KJ52, Switchfoot, Blindside, Thousand Foot Krutch, Demon Hunter, RelientK, others...

Progressive and Power Metal. Stuff like Ayreon, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Blind Guardian, and Rhapsody. I like bands that either place a heavy emphasis upon instrumental ability or vocal mastery. I like other bands like System of a Down too, just because they have an original sound, but I really don't like a lot of modern 'metal.'

all kind of metal

I'm mixing my tastes with some Indie, Metal, Emo (:eek:), ska-punk, etc...

*prepares to be bombarded with insults*

EDIT: Oh, there's some prog rock in there too. ANd the later beatles.

Emo (:eek:)
You've just lost all respect I had for you :p
ANd the later beatles.
You're now on negative respect.

I like classical music. It is good.

Same here. The Romantic era composers were the best, really.

Old-school punk, Hardcore, Old-school Emo (mostly for musical reasons), Blues, more blues, some progressive metal, and classical (No not classic rock. Real classical music).

I prefer Baroque and Classical music to Romantic music ::resists making really really dorky musicological comments on the correct usage of the term "classical":: though I still like me a good Chopin, and the Leider and Melodie of Schubert and Liszt really can't be beat.

My favorite, though, would have to be Josquin des Prez

Metal, rap, industrial and hip hop (to an exstent of course)

50s...I love 50s.

Folk music. And Marc Cohn.

Flamenco gitano. I just love their voices.

It's hard to pick just one favourite though. I love a lot of different genres of music. But gypsy flamenco always gives me goosebumps.

classic rock, metal of almost any "subgenre", blues, jazz, drum n bass, psychadellic rock... anything with soul or energy.

You've just lost all respect I had for you :p

You're now on negative respect.
Respect this, bitch!

*takes a shitload of LSD, cries in an imaginary dark room*

I don't have a "type" really.

Metal (of all kinds, particurlarly progressive), rock, blues, soul, classical, indie, alternative, disco, jazz, pop, punk, singer/songwriters, electronic/techno type things, funk... Some genres I like more than others (metal mainly, though I'm going through huge indie/alternative phase).

. And Marc Cohn.
Wasn't he the guy who done the song, ''Living in Memphis''? I never knew he was still around.

Punk... and ska...

Edit: They're not the only types of music I like, I actually like most music... just not hip hop or rap or techno/dance stuff...

Jazz.

indie.

hey scenesters!

Classic rock, favorite band is Queen, favorite solo artist is Bob Dylan, favorite song is "Too Much Love Will Kill You" by Queen.

I like some pop but mainly classical.:D

My tastes are all over the place, from The Grateful Dead to punk rock. But my main love is metal, especially bands like Judas Priest and Iron Maiden.

SDMF!
Black Label Society - just about the only band still putting out straight metal. Everything else seems to be hard core (not bad) or emo(horrible).

And now we have to ask, since you brought it up and no one has a Real Book simply to help them organize thier iTunes, what do you play...

Wasn't he the guy who done the song, ''Living in Memphis''? I never knew he was still around.
Yes, that's him. He has three albums out; that song is on the first.

I'm open to anything except hip hop/rap and punk. With the exception of The Jam...

Every other genre I can grow to enjoy.

Uh, The Jam were Mod. And what the hell is wrong with the Sex Pistols, the Ramones, The Clash, The Damned, Husker Du, the Adolescents, the Dead Kennedys, Black Flag, and others like them?

Just not my style. Short, angry, politically charged (I know I'm generalising, but most of them didn't have a clue what they were on about in regards to politics)... I'm just not a punk.

Er, In The City had some good political lyrics. Anyway, at least you didn't give the "it takes no skill" bullshit. :p

I have kind of Jam anthology, 49 of their best songs, and its good...

I'm not going to make any judgment on how easy/hard it is to play punk music because I myself am musically inept. It's just not my style (of music).

Include the Hives in the punk-that-I-do-like category. Although they're probably some strange sub-sub-genre of punk that I haven't heard of...

If it's non-political that interests you, I'd suggest anything out of the early 80s DC scene (which pretty much was the only DC scene).

For more complex (although quite odd sounding) Punk, I refer you to Mission of Burma (not my style, but avante garde in the oddest ways). The Minutemen are quite political, and their songs tend to run short, but they certainly have interesting music, in their own way.

Edit: and before Pot clubs me over the head for forgetting. :p

Husker Du is quite melodic and their songs aren't particularly short, plus they just damned well rock!

Rock and pop from 60's 80's 90's MM

Very mixed likes from Robbie Williams to Bryan Adams, Avril Lavigne to Kylie, Maddness to Nickelback

I prefer Indie Rock.

I like most of that indie rock stuff

Mando Diao, Franz Ferdinand, Kasabian, BRMC, The Hives, Kaiser Chiefs, but don't dig Maximo Park.

I also enjoy big beat/breakbeat stuff like The Chemical Brothers and the Prodigy.

How does that go together? ;)

well almost everything except R&B and HipHop

well almost everything except R&B and HipHop
agreed

Their early stuff in particular is pretty raw punk. Heard anything by the Dead Kennedys? They were a big influence on them.
