Music

What do you enjoy listening to most?

I'm eclectic and open minded. I also fluctuate periodically from genre to genre.
Perhaps most fundamental to me is Jazz (NOT "smooth" e.g. Kenny G.). I have quit a selection going back to the Louis Armstrong "Hot 5's" and "Hot 7's" recording up to some of the latest releases. My favorites seem to be from the classic "Blue Note" period of the 50's.

Currently I am re-exploring my interest (which started in 1970) of the music of the Grateful Dead. I have not listened to them in about 7 years or so on a regular basis. My favorite period of their Live recordings extends from 1971-74.
I especially enjoy the period when there was just 1 drummer (Mickey Hart was on hiatus).

I DO NOT ENJOY Rap/Hip Hop yet I have recently checked out about 6 cd's from our local library of that genre just to find out what it is that attracts so many.

I enjoy a wide variety of genres. Some more, some less, and of some I just listen to one or two songs I like. Also my favorite genres tend to shift from time to time, as of now I favor electronic music the most. Before that it was country I listened to the most, and so on.

I even listen to pop music here and there, even modern stuff. I admit to really like Tik Tok by Ke$ha.

What has been a passion for a long long time is genrecrossing remixes/covers of songs.

Like The Bosshoss, a Berlin band that began its career by covering popular songs and make country versions of them:

Or The Baseballs, also from Berin, who do the same, except they have a 50s Rockabilly style:

And then some youtube found remix, like this one that makes a catchy electronic tune out of Fleetwood Macs "Little White Lies":

Basically if a song has a melody/rhythm I like, I like the song. I don't care what its about.
My favorite genres then would be
Classic Rock
Heavy Metal
Glam Rock
Rockabilly
Electro
House
Country
80s
90s
Eurodance

And yeah various offsprings, and some other I might just have forgotten about.

Reventon · 05-20-2011, 01:12 AM

Classic rock (Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Allman Brothers Band, Johnny Cash)
Some modern rock (selective)
Heavy metal and classic metal (Megadeth, Pantera, Zakk Wylde, Black Label Socitey, Children of Bodom, Hell Yeah)
Rap (Big KRIT, Currensy, Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Public Enemy)
Blues (BB King mostly, others are also enjoyable)
Virtuoso guitar (Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Buckethead)
Reggae (Bob Marley mostly, others are also enjoyable)
Jazz (selective)

Soylent Joe · 05-20-2011, 01:49 AM

80's hits, for hours at a time.

theJesus · 05-20-2011, 04:50 AM

Two favorite genres are metal and electronic. Those are pretty much umbrella words for a lot of very different music, but it would be exhausting to list all the "sub-genres." I also enjoy some classic rock, classical, ambient, and a lot of other stuff. I absolutely hate most rap and hip-hop and most of what is on the radio.

hellrazor · 05-20-2011, 05:58 AM

I like '60s folk, and then electronic and a little pop.

I bet you like Linedance, too.

hellrazor · 05-20-2011, 06:40 AM

I neither like it nor hate it.

palo · 05-20-2011, 07:22 AM

I love 60s jazz and some of today's stuff like Martin, Medeski and Woods or The Bad Plus or Happy Apple.

JC316 · 05-20-2011, 08:12 AM

I have a pretty wide selection of music. Doo-wop, Classic Rock, Classic Country, Mo Town, heavy metal, 80's, 90's, etc. Hate pop, hate rap and hate the crap that passes for country music now days.

MoonPig · 05-20-2011, 09:11 AM

Classic Rock - Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Queen, Dire Straits, Lynyrd Skynyrd
Metal - Metallica, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue
Alternative - Muse, Radiohead, Audioslave, RHCP, Weezer, White Lies, Killers, Kings of Leon

And then i've been loving artists like Tinie Tempah, Adele, Kanye West, White Lies.

But i also love the occasional Daft Punk etc. And some Trance.

What are you talking about? He said, "Good job." That's a compliment.
This is how he treats everyone. We all pick on each other here, so don't take anything personally.

For future reference . . .

I like just about everything except pop or things influenced by pop.

Screaming Beaver · 05-21-2011, 04:15 PM

Alice in Chains
Nirvana
Metallica
KMFDM
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Tool
AC/DC
Iron Maiden

Ask me again tomorrow and a few of those may change
