Favorite genre of music?

[Fixated]

I can't start polls, but I suppose it's for the better here, there are too many genres.

I'm going to pick ska.

[CPschem]

1. my favorite is "Alt/Country"...

think Uncle Tupelo, Son Volt, Ryan Adams. so good.

[zekeson]

2. hey, nice choices

and welcome to DU!

[CPschem]

8. thanks zekeson... good to be here

[Tripper11]

3. Jazz..jam bands....

all types of jazz.....from the oldest to the relatively newser stuff (Medeski Martin and Wood)
Jamming...Phish, Grateful Dead, DMB, etc.

[GumboYaYa]

18. Me too, but add funk and New Orleans music.

Have you heard Scofield's latest album with M, M, &W? It is unbelievable.

I'm going to see Robert Randolph, Govt. Mule, and Karl Denson's Tiny Universe at separate shows next month. I'm totally psyched for November.

44. Hey Gumbo!

Haven't seen ya in a while!

[Systematic Chaos]

4. I love all kinds of stuff

But numero uno would have to be "progressive rock" (e.g. Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Yes, Dream Theater, Spock's Beard, Emerson Lake & Palmer and many others)

Then, I also love top-40 from the late 70's to the late 80's, jazz, classical, alternative, industrial, ambient, techno....

My only dislikes are opera (sorry, hate the singing), most country and most rap and modern r&b.

[Richardo]

5. Hey! Ska - me too!

:thumbsup:

[Speck Tater]

6. Classical, Opera, Jazz, Techno, Hip hop, Swing, anything except...

...country. (yech!!!) (However, Blue Grass is awesome and Alabama, while strictly country, is great.)

Balinese music and Tibetan music is far worse than country, but almost nobody has every heard it, thank God!

Favorite song would be a three way tie between Beethoven's 9th Symphony, Dire Straight's Money for Nothing, and anything by The Doors.

[Chovexani]

7. Gothic/darkwave

But I am also partial to sugary Asian pop. Go fig. :)

15. i cant think of a title

''Punk, eh? Happen to know of Alkaline Trio?''

[arcos]

21. trip hop, chill out, lounge, ambient... n/t

[KDLarsen]

24. Electronic music

.. pretty much the same as Arcos, ie. chill out, lounge, ambient etc.

I also have a taste for the more older electronic, ie. Kraftwerk's Autobahn & Trans-Europa Express albums, a bit of New Order here and there and a few other synth-bands.

[woofless]

22. Classic Rock,

Jazz and Bluegrass. I can go from Allison Krause to Dianna Krall to The Who and be happy as Hell.

[DrWeird]

23. Rap

Most everything else is pretty much dead nowdays.

[NightTrain]

25. Soul music of the '60s and '70s

With the various types of '50s rock 'n' roll running a close second. That would include R&B, rockabilly, and doo-wop.

[Kamika]

26. 80s

All but the metal

[Redneck Socialist]

27. c'mon!

The metal was the best thing about the 80s.

[NightTrain]

Sorry.... :-)

[Kamika]

Practicly everything but the metal

[SiobhanClancy]

28. Classical

followed by blues.

[dbt]

Plug in yer fiddles and banjos, stick in some electric guitar, bass and drums and watch the girls dance because they can't help it!
