Old rock.

Bo Jovi, Led Zepplin, AC/DC, Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Kiss, U2, Guns and Roses

I also dig Pearl Jam and Nirvana.

all of this modern 'music' (using the term loosely) is pure crap, to me.

Modern Rock ftw : ) Sry Pineapple

I love Rock. The newer kind of rock/alternative is my music. I love it.

Bands such as:

- Three Days Grace
- Disturbed
- System of a Down
- Avenged Sevenfold
- Breaking Benjamin
- Trapt
- Seether
- Puddle of Mudd
- Rise Against
- Godsmack
- The Offspring
- Velvet Revolver
ect... I could go all day.

I like some Techno too It's always fun.

I despise country and rap. Put em together and it equals crap. I rest my case.

I'll always listen to anything ONCE and try to keep an open mind about it.
These are some things I hate when listening to new songs/bands:
-SCREAMING AHHHHHHh (annoying, makes me want to scream back SHUT UP!)
-Harsh electric instrument feedback (hurts my ears)
-Using only I IV[iv] V7 chords (boring!)
-Bland melodies with a range of about 2 notes (boring!!! :banghead
-Instruments or vocals off-key (eww!)

Classical music is the best genre in my opinion (CHOPIN FTW!).
I'm a concert pianist and I have perfect pitch (doesn't mean I know anything but maybe accounts for something) and I take pride in making my own music.

The new generation of musicians, if you can even call them musicians, don't know what real music is...
All you rappers out there, you just plain suck. Lol, Sorry! I've never heard a decent rap song... Anyone can sit at a computer and arrange fake instruments, or press buttons on a mixer, but how many people can sit down at a piano or another instrument and play something worth your time?

I prefer Classic Rock, or some um... non-emo rock, or not too heavy rock. I like to listen to the different instruments and try to single them out

SOME rap songs are alright... the ones that aren't all about bizznits and those.

 

[Rheias]

Rock
Hard Rock
Nu-Metal
Very specific songs of Rap
A bit Punk
A bit pop-rock

That's mostly it.

 

[Wiseman_2]

Definatly older rock and the like.
The Clash, Heart, ZZ Top, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, The Sex Pistols, etc.

I also like some modern metal. Rammstein and Velvet Revolver being the sole bands in that category.

I keep an open mind though, and can like anything if it appeals to me at the time.
Some exceptions to this rule is pop (from any era), and rap (very specific songs I can deal with). And so-called "Happy Hardcore" *shudders* which is the same repetetive beat over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

 

[Demi666]

hiphop

 

[PurgeandFire]

Older rock owns, but Grunge (eg: Nirvana) and Hard Rock (eg: Queens of the Stone Age) are also awesome.

 

[SFilip]

Jazz.

Though I also sometimes listen to pop-rap if I'm in the mood for it.

 

[DM Cross]

Labels are for food products. I like music.

Our ability to reason and classify is one of the major qualities that distinguishes humans from other animals.

 

[PurgeandFire]

Labels are for food products. I like music.

Are you talking to me?

Well, so you know, labels and genres are different things. Labels are what people classify music as. I hate labels.

Genres are classified music as well, but it is official. In all cases I know of.

 

[Pyrogasm]

Jazz.

Now there is my kind of music. I do prefer to listen to Jazz and Funk, but to be honest, I'll listen to anything that sparks my interest (Jamiorquai is on right now).

Medeski Martin and Wood, John Scofield, Listen, and The Youngblood Brass Band are a few bands/groups I enjoy. But I also appreciate listening to older Jazz artists like Freddy Hubbard, John Coltrane/Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, Benny Carter, etc.. A bit of the newer stuff I also like: Michael Brecker, Mel Martin, Joshua Redman.

As you might be able to tell, I'm a saxophone player... but I also sing. So occasionally I like listening to Sara Vaughan (I have the entire Verve CD set), C-Sus/The Jazz Singers, The New Real Group, and such.

Classical music is also pretty high on my favorites, especially Holst's The Planets suite. We just played Mars in my school band and now I'm obsessed with Jupiter. Eric Whitacre's music really piques my interest because of his usage of closely-knit chords; we recently played October at school, and I really enjoyed that a lot too.
