So what kind of music do ya'll like to listen to when your driving, working, chilling out or whatever?

I tried to sum up all the major genres in the poll but please elaborate if you can.

So for me,

I used to reallt like hard rock/metal like tool, alice in chains, nirvanna. But recently I started listening to Funk. Mostly parliament and funkadelic but I also really like all the funk inspired music that came later. Dr.Dre's the chronic, Snoop doggy dog doggy style, the first 4 red hot chili pepper albumns and primus.

But I still listen to Paganini when I have trouble going to sleep so I clicked classical too.

Country, Classic Rock, Finnish Metal.

I listen to metal, and industrial jungle pussy punk.

Lots of stuff like Metallica, Slayer, Mindless Self Indulgence, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Black Sabbath, and Pantera.

Country, Classic Rock, Finnish Metal.

I see no poll.

srry it took a minute to post

srry it took a minute to post

No problem, since then I have edited my post.

Thoughs.

Um literally almost anything..

I'd have to say that Rage Against the Machine, Jamie Cullum, Pantera, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, White Stripes, the Kaiser Chiefs, and James Brown all have a special place in my heart.

I used to be a Rap guy, then a Classic Rocker, then a Metal head, now I say if it sounds good, listen

country.

i mostly listen to the radio.

luckily there are enough stations that when one of those "rain is gramma snotty tears from heaven" songs come on in can change stations.

Generally nothing. Entire weeks go by without me putting on any music. Sad, huh?

Rockabilly and Blues about 90% of the time. I throw in a little punk and etc. and can listen to almost anything once, though being musically inclined I tend to be choosy.

METAL.

Especially black metal, viking metal, and some death metal.

A shitload of leftist folk music, with some anarchist punk thrown in.

Plus some of everything else... especially alternative rock.

Anything from Classic Rock to the Most Extreme Metal Imaginable. (In general, anything filed under 'rock'.) Classical music as well, and an extremely small portion of electronica appeals to me.

A lot of stuff.

Industrial, classical, ambient, jazz, experimental, and perhaps a few other things.
It really, really depends on the time of day and what kind of day i'm having.

I find that most of the time, i'm looking for songs that aren't using any particular lyrics.

It really, really depends on the time of day and what kind of day i'm having.

Seconded.

Jimi Hendrix, The Hives, The Doors, Arctic Monkeys, Led Zeppelin, Wolfmother.

Uhh . . . . can't think of any others that receive lots of airtime.

EDIT: NWA is a guilty pleasure thing. Same with some techno hits.

I was listening to NWA in high school. They were pretty funny. And a lot less of the pathetic pose we hear these days.
If you haven't, you should catch the acoustic guitar version of "Straight Outta Compton", btw.

I listen to a little bit of everything, excepting music from operas or musicals. Oh, and very little country. A lot of experimental, some jam bands, heavy metal, classical music, occasionally rap...but I only chose what I listen to often on the poll.

How can I not like them when Eazy E Day is my birthday? :p

I like cranking Gangsta Gangsta in my car.

Mostly Ska/Trojan and Oi! but all sorts of shit, really. World music, Modrock, Rap, Mathmetal, Noiserock.. Generally anything that makes me want to dance, drink, fight and fuck, to use an over-used line.

Oh yes, mathmetal. :)

Primarily, I am a metalhead, but I listen to a goodly amount of techno and classical as well as some rap and raggae here and there. Recently I've been getting into the noise music, however.

What a sad poll, where is all the rock?

I listen to classic rock, indie rock, alternative, electronica, synth pop, new wave and classical.

rock that's older than me.

Stuff from the 60's and 70's in other words

(i'm going to be 20 next month)

Putting Jazz and Funk in the same option made voting easy for me.

There's more but I'm lazy...and you don't really care ;p

Mostly punk, especially hardcore punk, crust punk/crustcore, powerviolence, grindcore and emo/emocore/scram/kittenviolence. I also listen to digital hardcore, gabber, industrial, hip-hop, black metal, death metal, no-wave, and noise rock and some shoegazer too.

Putting Jazz and Funk in the same option made voting easy for me.

There's more but I'm lazy...and you don't really care ;p

How about The Vestibules?

Metal to hardcore covers it. COB, Motorhead, Kreator, Maiden, Megadeth, LOG, Slayer, Lordi, DOA, Agriculture Club, that sorta thing. It varies a lot seeing as I listen to Hard Attack on Sirius (my iPod died so I went with the evil satellite radio).

Mainly Power Metal; Sonata Arctica, Hammerfall, Nightwish (which I class as power metal for lack of a better genre, especially since Annette joined). Also Heavy Metal, Viking Metal, Folk Metal and the occasional Death Metal.

Away from the Metal front, there's also classic rock, alternative rock, folk rock and eurodance.

Metal...mostly post-metal: Isis, Pelican...just got into Russian Circles. Also Tool. Not sure where they fit in. Prog-metal?

Also post- and math-rock: 65daysofstatic (obviously), Mogwai, EITS, Godspeed You..., Fight Fire With Water, Oceansize, Twenty-Six Feet, Youthmovies.

None of the above.

Metal, mainly black metal. Also lots of classical and folk though.

Napalm Death, Slayer, and proper Punk (not that sum 41 poppy shite), folk-metal a la Skyforger, bit of alternative - PJ Harvey/Nick Cave. Classic metal, chilli peppers, Rammstein etc.

I am (slightly) offended that my choice (video game music) is not up there.

I can listen to anything except death-metal. I once attended a birthday party of a good friend of mine and had to listen to death-metal all evening. Ever since I just despise it.

The voices in my head...

Musically, mostly punk (first album I bought was Nevermind the Bollocks, at age 7), some world (celtic, reggae), and some folk/bluegrass. Listen to bagpipes, but that's mainly due to the fact that I'm trying to learn how to play the buggers...

That is one shithouse poll. Doesn't even list rock except for the heavy metal option.

I listen mainly to indie/rock/alt.

Not everything I listen to, but a lot of it... (http://rateyourmusic.com/collection/Ceeker/r0.5-5.0,ss.rd) Not many low ratings there because i generally don't bother listing stuff I don't like.

Only 4.5/5 for The Fall of Math? Philistine. ;)

Depends what mood I'm in really; anything from the Smiths and Joy Division to Gallows, The Receiving End of Sirens and the Blackout.

I do have a real loathing for the Arctic Razor Kooks and their ilk, however.

Metal. I will listen to any metal that sounds good. Black Sabbath, Early Man, Dio, Led Zeppelin, and Dokken.

I have to differentiate between the music I hear, and the music I mostly listen to, living in a house with 3 other people I hear a lot of music, but I don't think it reflects well on my actual musical taste, although, truthfully neither does the music I mostly listen to, since being an eclectic I mostly put in music when it's my turn that the others failed to play.........[/run-on sentence]

I mostly hear

Rock
Alternative
Disco
Doo-Wop
A cappella Gospel
Barbershop
Pop-punk
Disney-style Pop *pukes*
and
various practicing from my children.

I mostly listen to
Punk
Grunge
Parody music
Local bands (Flaming Lips)
and other (Violent Femmes)

Basically:

Heavy Rock, Rock, Pop, Dance, and Rap.

Songs I have:

"Behind These Hazel Eyes" by Kelly Clarkson
"Remember the Name" by Fort Minor
"Thnks fr th Mmrs" by Fall Out Boy
"Dance, Dance" by Fall Out Boy
"Blue" by Eiffel 65
A Visual Recount of 9/11 for sobering up with the Star Spangled Banner at the end
"How You Remind Me" by Nickelback
"My Happy Ending" by Avril Lavigne
"Complicated" by Avril Lavigne
"In the End" by Linkin Park
And Others

Advice, I'm thinking of putting "Rush" by Aly and AJ.

I try not to criticise unduly, but you have a shockingly popular taste in music. Fall Out Boy were only ever of any merits prior to "From Under the Cork Tree", before they sold out to court the favour of the ignorant musical masses, and as for Avril Lavigne, Kelly Clarkson and Nickelback; he he he.:p

I fail to see where "heavy rock" (or, indeed, "rock") comes into that...

Thanks.:rolleyes: But, I just remembered, have you heard of Superchick? Their #1 song, Stand in the Rain, is awesome.

What the fuck is "alternative rock?" I faintly remember that the term once had meaning, but now.....it's just a blur.

I mostly listen to experimental shite and underground pop. Some underground hip-hop as well.

Only 4.5/5 for The Fall of Math? Philistine. ;)

;)

I like Alternative and Rock mainly although I like quite a lot of music actually.

Fav. Bands: Death Cab for Cutie, My Chemical Romance, Green Day, Foo Fighters

I mainly listen to things like alt-rock, dance, trance electronica etc

Arctic Monkeys, Muse, Kasabian, Faithless, The Killers, Darude, Sash, Daft Punk

Geez, um... Ska punk, metal, classic rock, prog metal (like dream theater), old blues rock, Scottish and Irish folk music, Buena Vista Social Club, Arcade fire, The Baghdaddies, Gogol Bordello, Dead Like Harry, Joe Broughton, Brian McNeill and stuff.

i have a bit of everything listed there and more besides on my HD player and i keep it on random shuffle so i ticked all of them. how come alternative is on the same option as techno? that's a bit of random association isn't it?

Progressive rock and more recently Fusion, pretty much the only genres that are always unpredictable.

I love progressive music so I mostly listen to online radios such as Morow (http://www.morow.com) and Delicious Agony (http://www.deliciousagony.com).

Elaborating on my previous (and perhaps meaner than I intended) post, some of my faves are:

Faust (they're the best band EVER)

My Bloody Valentine
Dalek
Nurse with Wound
Coil
Pink Floyd (and I don't even do drugs!...anymore)
23 Skidoo
James Chance & the Contortions

More Foetus
A whole lot of Foetus

Randy Newman (back when he was music's mean asshole laureate)
Big Black
Soft Cell
The Jesus and Mary Chain
(some) Current 93
Alvin & the Chipmunks
Matmos
Psychic TV (or at least the few albums where they're NOT crap)
Did I mention Foetus?

Captain Beefheart
Liars (one of the best newer bands)
TV On the Radio
Residents
Leonard Cohen
Krysztof Pynderecki
Beck
Jane's Addiction
Erik Satie

There's plenty I'm leaving out, but I THINK that's enough? Unless you guys want more....

Heavy Metal, Classical, Hard Rock, Country and Reggae.

I can't stand rock & roll.

I listen a mixture of everything else.

Mostly musical soundtracks. My favorite is Assassins.

Modern choral music (Whitacre, Lauridsen etc.)
Orchestral music, mostly early 20th century and classical (Shostakovich, Bartok, Stravinsky, Beethoven)
Electronic music (Squarepusher, Aphex Twin etc.)

Choon!:)

Loves real metal: Slayer, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, (early) Metallica... none of that nu-metal shit.
Hard rock: G N R, AC/DC, Kiss.

Hates: Classical, folk, pop and black metal... real kvlt!

Also remember that Tool, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Slipknot, Linkin Park etc aren't metal.

mostly Folk

Depends on how I feel that day; if I am pissed off I'll listen to Rammstein or Grinderman, if I am chilling out, maybe Frank Sinatra, if I am relaxing/meditating, Gregorian Chants.

The line I draw is Christian rock - please, the two should never ever mix - in a million years.

In my opinion you forgot two choices

-the voices in my head

and my personal choice

-the odd grinding and clanking noises in my head

*thinks he should probably stop doing this :headbang: so much.......

In other words, he is stuck in a time warp.

Not a time warp, just knows what music actually is.

It pisses me off when people try to pass off emo bands like 'my chemical romance' as some form of punk. Sorry, punk is an 'up yours' to the establishment - all the likes of MCR and Fall out boy are whining whinging yanks complaining about their oh-so-tough middle class upbringing. Cry me a river why don't you.

IRON MAIDEN!!!!

Music of the Gods!

(it's true! Zeus listened to Iron Maiden too!)

Cry me a river why don't you.

MCR are by no means middle class kid. FOB might well be from comparitively affluent households, but that is of no consequence; their lyrics reflect emotional distress as opposed to material need. One cannot very well expect them to write lyrics reflecting a life they do not lead. Moreover, frankly, I enjoy listening to music that errs from left wing, ignorant, macho socialist tripe; that you cannot associate with certain lyrics does not render them of no merits.

In any case, the likes of the Used, Gallows, Taking Back Sunday; emo all by your somewhat cliched, NME style branding, are from decidedly lower class households. They simply do not construe this provenance as a justification for bleating about it incessantly.

Radiohead, Savage Garden, Soft Cell, Soilwork, Sonata Arctica, Suede, Offspring, The Police, The streets, Therion, Toby Keith, Tom Petty, Travis, Type O Negative, Within Temptation & random anime sound tracks

HA! Fear the diversity of my musical tastes!

What I listen to depends on my mood, but at any given time, it's mostly metal XD

Kevin's got a remix album for Free? Cool!
So he's playing live now again, too? Even cooler.
Thank you. *bows*

IRON MAIDEN!!!!

Music of the Gods!

(it's true! Zeus listened to Iron Maiden too!)
Zeus has great taste! As do you and I. :D

Christian music, providing it's theologically sound, so I have a few songs I love and many I hate from singers and groups.

As to genre, pretty much anything, so long as it's not too extreme in the rock, rap, or country directions.

So speedcore is OK then? :p

Choon!
Seconded.

Also remember that Tool [...] aren't metal.
No? Care to tell us what they are then?

Van Halen
Aerosmith
Rob Zombie

I listen to Trance, Psychodelich Trance and Progressive, some times European Dance.
Also Heavy Metal, Alternative and Progressive and some pop
And classical music and opera and soundtracks:
Mozart, Wagner, Haendel, Vivaldi, Tchaikovsky, Bach,
Madame Butterfly, Turandot, Carmen, The Nibelung Ring, etc.


To get a better idea: Rammstein, To Die For, The Gathering, Paul Van Dyk, DJ Tiesto, Gabriel and Dresden, Paul Oakenfold, Rob Zombie, Dream Theater, Angra, Helloween, Rage, Marilyn Manson, Disco Music, The Beatles, Led Zeppellin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Nirvana, Therion, Tristania, Soda Stereo, Heroes del Silencio, Wallflowers, Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, REM, Mauro Picotto, Olivia Ruiz, u2, Alizee
Big Bands from the 40's; 60's classical rock, 80's, Gorillaz, Korn, Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, Strokes, White Stripes, Mars Volta, Kylie Minogue, Dead Can Dance, Deep Dish, Infected Mushroom,Bjork

Modern choral music (Whitacre, Lauridsen etc.)
Orchestral music, mostly early 20th century and classical (Shostakovich, Bartok, Stravinsky, Beethoven)
Electronic music (Squarepusher, Aphex Twin etc.)

I am quite a fan of some Electric Bands. The Postal Service are great but not many people have heard of them and those who have usally think they're crap.

Metal....

and more metal

In other words, he is stuck in a time warp.

One question though have you tried listening to any of those you hate???

Oh god, how could I not listen to it? That shit is everywhere.

Also, Iron Maiden and Slayer had albums chart in the top 10 last year in the US, so this time warp is looking unusually modern.

No? Care to tell us what they are then?

They're art rock or something.

PS They don't even consider themselves metal.

PS They don't even consider themselves metal.

Klaxons don't consider themselves nu-rave, but they are.

Doom/stoner metal, drone metal, post rock, noise rock, no wave, noise, Tom Waits, freak folk; minimalist classical, especially Morton Feldman. Also, indie pop/rock if it's creative/different.

Please note that the vote for country indicated just any traditional music. I have CDs with music from the Sahara, Asia (Cambodia and Japan, mostly), the South Pacific, South America, and used to listen to a webradio from Ghana.

Ooo, i like your taste. :D

Here are some of the bands I've listened to most recently:
Fall Out Boy
Panic! At the Disco
Incubus
Brand New
Death Cab For Cutie
Jimmy Eat World
The Postal Service
Led Zeppelin
Hellogoodbye
Beatles
Killers
Copeland
Breaking Benjamin
Nirvana
Pearl Jam
James Taylor
TV On The Radio
Tool
A Perfect Circle
Mars Volta

Art rock or something? How precise...

And no, they don't consider themselves metal. They say their genre is "Munge", which, apparently, is a mix of progressive rock, Bulgarian folk metal, rock ’n’ roll, ’80s disco and Christian rap.

They're metal. You ask any of the 15000-odd people who saw them when they played in Britain last week, and they'll almost certainly say some form of metal - alternative, progressive, post, heavy...they fit into all of them in some way.

All I'm saying is that if they don't consider themselves metal, and they're the ones in the band, I wouldn't call them metal.

How can something be "post metal"?

BTW art rock is listed on their Wikipedia page as one of their genres, that's why I put it in a previous post.

And no, YOU ask the 15 000 that were at their show. :p

PS They don't even consider themselves metal.

Enslaved don't consider themselves black metal, but they are.

Tool are pretty metal, as far as I'm concerned. If one's band is heavier than known metal bands, it's a pretty safe bet that one is metal.

Art rock is a silly genre. Almost any band that's slightly out of the mainstream considers their work art. Hell, you could make an argument for Gorgoroth being "art rock."

It's almost as stupidly un-descriptive and ambiguous a genre as "alternative."

depends what I'm doing at the time.

Here are some of the bands I've listened to most recently:
Fall Out Boy - 5/10

A Perfect Circle - 5/10

That's what I think. I've rated them.

Brand New fan? I actually know Jesse (he's a good friends cousin)

of course, that list is just recent plays, which has recently been joined by Journey, Carrie Underwood, The Clarks, Poison, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Say Anything, Atreyu, and Squeeze

My sig gives you a fairly good idea of what I generally listen to. It's mainly just rock and folk from about '65 to about '75.

What a poll, where's the blues? Actually that's 90% of the music I'm listening to (lots of old-fashioned acoustic blues, but also contemporary blues and blues rock), the rest is cajun/zydeco, jazz (there I prefer old-fashioned vocal jazz like Billie Holiday) and sometimes a bit of bluegrass and Irish folk...

Brand New fan?

Yeah, I started liking them when I heard my brother listening to them in the car. I got all their C.D's now and their best song is definately 'Okay I believe you, but my tommy gun don't' I just love the chorus really and lyrics are ace.

I listen to nu metal, "viking metal" which is bands like Ensiferum and Wintersun, older metal such as pantera, and old metallica. Speed Metal, black metal, and a bit of country.

My wifes bitching mostly.

Rap mostly. Especially Eminem and 2pac.

mostly rock and/or metal, with a lot of jazz and blues thrown in too, as well as quite a lot of instrumental accoustic guitar stuff. sometimes drum n bass as well.

I usually stick with folk music. Especially Irish (and Scottish) Traditional, fiddle music, bagpipe and drum bands or solo bagpipes, some banjo music. Love classical and Renaissance as well, especially the latter - Lute, Cittern, Recorder, Harpsichord, and Clavichord type stuff.
