Author Topic: Anyone like any other style of music? (Read 15495 times)

Apart from Blues, Metal and Rock and the standard guitar music, does anyone listen to anything other than that? :p

Personally i listen to anything with the exception of the indie bands which i cannot stand.
Since most of my town is trendy or chav i get the joy of listening to lots of gansta rap and techno and indie as there are no metal clubs or bars in town, but i think it's good to listen to lots of different styles and not just stick to one thing, and some of it is good and i actually listen to it daily.

Right now i'm into the Drum n Bass band Pendulum from Australia. They actually use guitar, bass and drums and stuff not just a keyboard like a lot of other bands!

I'm expecting most posts to be full of laughter or something along the lines of 'you crazy fool!'

So anyone else like something a little different?

I can pretty much sit and listen to any kind of music without a problem. At the moment I have been studying Bluegrass since last october, after my father in law took me to a Bluegrass jam session. Not my cup of tea, but it has turned out to be challenging. Nowdays(i show up only once a month), my nose doesn't gets too bloody every time we go. Nice folks though, real polite southern gentlemen . Somebody told me about a Bluegrass band that recorded a cd with all Metallica songs . Ah, no electric, only acoustic . Now....that sucks.

I listen to a wide range of music-probably easier to say what I don't listen to but I never close my mind to music as I can be pleasantly surprised to find something I like which I wouldn't have done if I said to myself that I hated a particular type. But I do have my favourites and I have noticed that I gravitate towards them in times of need.

A lot of classical, a lot of folk, fair bit of bluegrass. More country than is probably healthy too...

Not as much jazz as I should though, really need to work on that...

*Rahnooo*

Me too.. Bloc Party came on the radio earlier and I just couldnt understand how anyone could enjoy it... the songs just dont go anywhere :\

edit - though it still involves guitars, I'm getting into some industrial music now, thanks to the '300' film soundtrack and that great song called "Fever Dream", plus the advert music - NIN - Just like you imagined :)

I can listen to anything with cool guitar work in it.

I'm also a big rockabilly/psychobilly fan.

I'm not the kind of guy who listens to classical or jazz. But I do apreiciate it when people play that music with passion. There was this chick on TV the other day who played the alto violin. She talked about her passion and love for the instrument and I could totally relate to that. When she played that violin, I was blown away.

I can't stand sobism is any kind of music.

I dunno, I like all guitar based music. If it inspires me to play than I usually like it. I also like classical music a lot as I used to listen to it heavily throughout university (whilst studying for finals).

I haven't got a lot of time for dance anymore. I used to be a big clubber, but cannot be arsed now. I've gone back to my roots, listening to a lot of blues, classic rock and metal at the moment. Guitar nourishment as I like to call it...

I really generally dislike metal. And ACDC. I just find there to be too many macho cliches around it.

I love jazz, the avant garde. Prog, funk, hip hop, rap, some indie (but less of the haircuts, please)

Having said that, I love some metal. Tool and Mastodon are awesome.

I think there are only two genres of music - good music and bad music.

I even love some pop music.

What's the big deal? It's only the same 12 notes to pick from...

Heh it can actually work pretty well see Hayseed Dixie, I think they've done metallica covers, they also do a lot of AC/DC and Aerosmith stuff.

I hate indie i can't stand it, i really don't see what the attraction is to it, it's pretty much the only thing that i can't listen to.

Saying that there was a song called 'i love it when you call' can't remember who it was by but it was some indie band and it had a really cool solo in it.
