Most enjoyable genre/style of music

[mvd]

My favorite: classic rock. Followed closely by: power pop, pop/rock, 80s rock, folk, folk/pop, Motown, heartfelt country, alt-country, indie, classical.

1. Like I said in the other thread...

Punk and post-punk. (And a lot of the bastard offspring that came from them.)

[mvd]

4. What are your favorite punk artists?

I'm not a huge fan of the genre, but I enjoy the Clash and Ramones.

[ghostsofgiants]

6. The Clash are great.

I'm a big fan of X, Fear, Buzzcocks, Bad Brains, etc. as far as older stuff goes. As for newer stuff...my favourite straightfoward punk band would probably be Propagandhi. Most of the newer stuff I listen to is usually some random subgenre like post-hardcore and whathaveyou, though.

And so, it seems, do you.

7. Post-post-post-modern

so new and cutting edge that it won't even be created for another 20 years. I doubt you've heard it.

12. Pfffft, I downloaded a bunch last month.

:boring:

[Call Me Wesley]

8. I wish I could sometimes lock my own threads, too ... ;)

But here are some answers. I do like classical music (wide spectrum), some jazz, pop, folk, some country, chants. And 80% of it is performed by women.

[Benfea]

11. Industrial, techno, noise, and metal.

[ContraBass Black]

19. They actually call it noise?

[Benfea]

28. Wikipedia is your friend

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_music

And yeah, there's a style of music referred to as "noise" and yes, I like listening to it.

17. I love 90's alternative

Love Sublime..
Became aware of greenday been a fan every since.
just a lot of great fun music..

[mvd]

20. Even though not on my list..

I love some modern alternative - Pearl Jam, Green Day, Hole, Garbage, Foo Fighters, Weezer, Stone Temple Pilots to name a few. I don't like the most recent modern rock artists as much as a whole. Nickelback, Creed, 3 Doors Down, and She Wants Revenge pale in comparison IMO.

In the 90s, country represented a big amount of my purchases. Now, I'm pickier, but I still enjoy good country. I still buy from artists like Dixie Chicks, Sugarland, Miranda Lambert, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Trisha Yearwood, Patty Loveless..

[MrSlayer]

18. Thrash Metal.

Gets the blood pumping and the negative feelings out in a positive way.

[leftofthedial]

22. my favorite is extremely eclectic shuffle play

which I think deserves a "genre" of its own.

[khashka]

23. Goth/ Punk/ Grunge/ Girls who scream when they sing

I want something I can turn up the volume on (listening to Hole right now)!


When I'm feeling mellow.... Bessie Smith. Washing up music.




Kash.

[alarcojon]

24. Anyone like classical music around here?

for me, in approximate frequency of listening - classical, jazz, rap, classic rock, latin, r&b.

[BlueJazz]

27. Love Classical ...Being a Jazz Player thou..well........... n/t

[Renew Deal]

25. Punk rock

Old and new

[malmapus]

26. Early 90s "alternative"

For the heavy use of effects in music, I loved the way James Iha and Billy Corgan would use feedback in their music. Heck even James Iha utilizing a freaking Laser Tag pressed against his pickups to make this awesome sound at the end of a set.
