Enough. With. The. Polls.

Enough. With. The. Polls. okay wll give em a rest now so what music do you like?

Not much choice in the poll...

Oh heck, sorry covered by Other

Sorry but you can't please everyone

Of course, I understand you can't fit everything. Even so, I think jazz, blues and classical should have got a look-in.

Out of the list, I voted "heavy metal", but I don't like all metal. I probably like a lot more bands that can be broadly defined as "rock" rather than "metal". In short, I like "heavy rock" (not to be confused with 60's hard rock, though that's cool too) :p

I don't classify my music, except for the broad genres of 'Music I Like' and 'Music I Don't Like'. Anything other than that just gets bogged down into trying to put a certain band into a specific genre, and I can't be arsed with that.

Anything but country

Indie and Emo for the most part.

Don't worry, you'll get over it. ;)

Anything but country some is okay

voted metal but i like a whole load of other stuff like jazz, blues, classic rock, psychedelic rock, drum n bass, some electronica/dance (some)

Why does everyone always moan about the options not on polls? Obviously, they didn't care enough about the representation of genres to create a poll themselves.... we have a society where 'critics' outweigh the 'artists'.

You can probably file most of my favourites broadly under rock: Experimental; Avant-Garde; Industrial; Goth; or under Pop: Techno; Cyber; EBM; Ambient.

because they hate me and wanna rip my polls to bits if they think they can do better why don't they start their own poll?

I love them all equally, as for me music = life, and I love even more. There are way too many genres to list. Classical of course, new age, jazz, ambient, what everyone mentioned, really, and more. I love World.

you could just really like... pure metals like gold or something....
:D
edit: in reply to the OP, I voted metal but I have a huge range of music I like. I can't be bothered to list them all. I should just make a list to copy and paste for each time there's a thread like this....

Okay, you didn't have my favourite type of music up there. My favourite type of music is dancehall (ragga, you know like Beenie Man or Elephant Man).

However, I also love garage, hip hop, rnb, rap, reggaeton etc.

Oh, I voted rock, though I tend to listen to alternative rock.

Heavy fucking metal!

But also electronica, Irish music and rock of all kinds.

Why isn't there Classical or Jazz as choices? I mean, really, I'd listen to those before rap or heavy metal, or worse yet, country.

no swearing please
Grow some skin kid.

And STOP POLL SPAMMING!!!

We already got another music poll not long ago!

Music with a fast, steady rhythm and plenty of texture.

sounds good

I enjoy classical music. Mozart, Armadeus and Chopin are my favorites.

Classical and rock/metal is a great combination. (Nightwish)

I believe that people who like emo see it as "emotional punk" or thats what I believe it stands for where i'm from. Bands like Saves the Day to Finch is the sort of thing it covers

Anyone else care to vote ?

Punk rock... mostly leaning to the hardcore/crust/emo/grind side of the spectrum.

Emo is shorted from emocore, short for emotional hardcore.

Shotmaker, Envy Orchid, Saetia, Indian Summer, Moss Icon, Jawbreaker are all emo.

Finch, Saves The Day, Sunny Dale Real Estate, Thursday, Alexisonfire, Glassjaw ect. are not, but are influenced by it. Unfortunately the media calls these bands emo (or screamo in some cases) which mostly tends to get kids laughed at by elitist snobs.

heavy Metal!!!!

heavy Metal!!!! seems to be the leader at the moment

I go through different phases. A couple of months ago I was listening to Black Flag and Sick of it All, then few weeks ago I was listening to Candi Staton, Donna Summer and Madonna. Now I'm listening to At the Gates, Necrophagist, Opeth, Entombed and Emperor.

Metal is my favorite... but just progressive and power metal, generally. Most other kinds I don't like so much (too aggressive/"evil", too simple, too formulaic, etc.)

your vote put Heavy Metal in the lead

Well, yeah... over "Other." But you can't really lump all the "Others" together into one coherent category. Especially when the poll doesn't have common options like jazz, blues, and classical.
