This is kinda off topic but I was just wondering what everyones favorite style of music is.I enjoy listening to Heavy Metal,Classic Rock,Blues and a little bit of Reggae.
. . . I am a painter so I have to have some 'appropriate' music to listen to.
Radiohead's 'Hail To The Thief' is just weird & experimental enough...
to keep me going right now.
I alternate alternative roack with classical music depending on my mood.
How's that?
I enjoy the Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, Jimmy Buffet, Neil Young, Phish, .moe, Donna the Buffalo, Stringcheese Incident. Any band that experiments with a song each time they play and play it different everytime.

Unfortunately I haven't really met many people into the this kind of music since college. I'm a big Grateful Dead and Widespread Panic fan and wish I could meet others who enjoy these bands.
Eighties heavy metal and rock, certain contemporary country groups, easy listening such as Motown groups, some reggae. I am very versital in the broad spectrum of genres that the music industry has to offer. Being a musician myself, I appreciate musical creativity on any level. Peace!
High!
My preferences are (in order of rank):
1. 70s progressive rock (YES!!! YES!!! YES!!!, Genesis, Jethro Tull)
2. symphonic electronic music (Vangelis, Synergy)
3. sequencer-dominated electronic music (Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Michael Garrison)
4. German "krautrock" of the 70s (Birth Control, Novalis, Eloy, Epitaph, Jane, Triumvirat etc.)
5. New Wave/synth pop of the late 70s/early 80s (Simple Minds, Blondie, Devo, OMD, Depeche Mode, Haircut 100, Duran Duran)
6. 60s beat/folkrock (Beatles, Byrds, Incredible String Band)
Strong dislikes:
1. all dancefloor stuff since the late 80s
2. Rap/hip hop
3. watered down modern pseudo-soul boygroups
4. speed/death/black metal
See you in Khyberspace!

i like alternative rock/punk rock
and techno
Metal (thrash, death, black, speed, whatever you wanna call it), classic rock (except the doors...don't know why), rock, some rap (eminem and ICP being my fav's lately), funk (zapp, gap band, dazz band, midnight star...old stuff)....pretty much everything except country, which gives me a headache and sends me screaming from the room.
mostly classic Rock and some metal, while there is some decent music today just SO much of it feels watered down and doesn't have the same feel to me as some of the oldies
some of my fav groups to listen to are
The Beatles (my fav band of all time) Wings, The Eagles, Phish, the rolling stones, Queen, ZZ Top, ACDC, Huey lewis and the news, Bruce Springstein, U2 , some of Creed's stuff
and a few others
Definitely metal (especially...I'll admit it...hair metal).
Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Gong, ELP, Deep Purple, Manfred Mann, Status Quo, Hawkwind, Jethro Tull, Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Arlo Guthrie, Woody Guthrie, etc, etc, etc
Rock. Favorite band is by far Pearl Jam, but I'm also heavily into Nirvana and Radiohead, but they're a bit more experimental.
Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic, Phish, Allman Bros., Donna the Buffalo, Stringcheese Incident. Unfortunately I don't meet people into this kind of music and haven't really met any since college. If your into the jamband scene or a fellow deadhead or spreadhead drop me a line.
Wow, not a single Power Metal fan among you guys? For shame, for shame. My favorite is without a doubt Blind Guardian, but I also love Iced earth, Freedom Call, Luca turilli, Rhapsody, and Sonata Arctica. And I also can't get enough Jpop, that stuff is addicting.
I like power metal, favourite bands would be Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Gamma Ray, Edguy and Angra
You rule! I love Blind Guardian, Luca Turilli, and Rhapsody! I know, like, no one who knows who they are, and wow, you like them all. That's so bad. Yesterday, I went to about 5 different CD stores and no one had even heard of Luca Turilli (a couple had heard of Blind Guardian), until I found this almost entirely metal store. I think I'm going to haunt that place. Yes...well...forgive my enthusiam.
I said "metal"...as in all inclusive. The harder the better.
Although, I never really got into the...uh..."growl metal" I called it. You couldn't understand anything that they were saying. I like it now that they're mixing it with lyrics you can understand.
Northern Soul, Happy Hardcore, classical and owt else I like the sound of at the time. To be honest, I don't really like to label music with a genre - I either like something or I don't.
Like Sherri, country makes me run screaming from the room (though, paradoxically I've bought the odd country single that I do like). Rap I just find boring and depressing.
I love Heavy Metal, but only good 80ies bands like Dio, Death, Control Denied. I dont like Metal bands with female singers because it seems that they are attracting attention to themselves instead of the music itself.
Finally, I absolutely despise rap music, dance, reggae, RnB, soul and all that similar cr~p.
Glad to see we have ignorant racist bastards here.
Just because I hate rap music, hip hop reggae,..etc.. doesn`t mean Im racist. Just read the lyrics of rap music and then tell me who is the racist.
You shouldn`t make assumptions like this and certainly not treat me a b_stard. Or is it that you listen to rap too much and that`s why you are insulting me for no reason??
rap and hip hop has nothing to do with soul, r&b, etc, which acually takes singing ability to perform. And if u werent so white, you would know what rap/hip hop was really all about.
Rap has flourished because of white kids. There are plenty of white and other rappers who aren't black. Michael Boulton is considered one of the biggest soul singers today...he is white...I can't stand his music. There are plenty more examples which I am sure you are aware of. A person can dislike a genre of music (or genres) based on the sound as opposed to the diverse racial backgrounds of the people who make the music. If someone doesn't like the Japanese rappers but likes some of the Japanese metal bands does that make him racist towards Japanese people?
One of the bands I am in is a thrash metal band and the lead singer/guitar player is an African American who writes all the songs. He kicks as as does the black guy who fronts Sepultura, etc. Did you ask T ar i k h what he thinks about Jimi Hendrix before calling him a racist for not liking some styles of music?
racist. I can't believe he said he doesn't like female rock bands. Poe? Heart? Jefferson (starship...airplane...umm)?
ROFL!!!
You could also say I'm racist because I don't like country.
Lighten up, dude. Everyone has their own personal taste.
Music has no ethnicity. It just has a beat and lyrics. You like it or you don't.
I mostly enjoy unique (not the sort of stuff you'd get on mainstream/commercial radio or MTV) variations of rock. I guess my tastes border on metal... (Unsure)...
Well, some of my favourite acts are Type O Negative (Life Is Killing Me = *****), Green Carnation, old Marilyn Manson, Cradle of Filth, and Buckcherry.
I JUST finished listened to the NEW Type O CD! *singing, "I Don't Wanna Be me anymore.."
Metallica
Black Sabbath
Tenacious D to name a few,
Blues
Rock
Classical
Anything that doesnt sound "false"
i like music, that is untypical for longhaires ;-)
i like elektronic music and techno very much.
Pink Floyd, Dead Milkmen, Hawkwind, Radiohead, Bach, Mozart, Balinese gamelon music, Sergio Mendez & Brazil 66, Cole Porter, Doris Day, Barbara Streisand, just to name a few. (Doris Day and Barbara Streisand???...OK so I'm Gay, so what's it to ya?)
I like:
NoFX, Alkaline Trio, Number One Gun, Alien Ant Farm, Saves the Day, The Juliana Theory, Radiohead, The Distillers... etc...
I like lots of different music types uncommon to the stereotypical longhair. :)
Metal: Death, Control Denied, Opeth, Emperor, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Zyklon, Nile, Symphony X, Blind Guardian, Morgana Lefay, Decapitated, Sceptic, Atheist, Cynic, Borknagar, Vader, etc.
Shred: Michael Romeo, Joe Satriani, Eddie van Halen, Michael Angelo Batio, and Yngwie Malmsteen.
Classical: J.S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Vivaldi, Haydn, C.P.E. Bach, Grieg, Wagner, Scarlatti, Diabelli, Paganini, and Mendelssohn, just to name a few...
and a little jazz, like Jaco Pastorius (awesome bassist!), Dave Brubeck, and Billie Holiday. ...and if any of you like classical and metal, but haven't heard, try a little group named Apocalyptica. They became "famous" for their recordings of Metallica played on four cellos (they even play the guitar solos, and everything is up to speed with the original recording!). They also did renditions of a few opera pieces, and a remake of "In the Hall of the Mountain King," by Edvard Grieg. PS: I also play classical, metal, and a smattering of jazz... here in Arkansas, this is rare.
Classical
Heavy Metal
Progressive Rock
Soundtracks
80's New Wave/Pop
Favorite Artists:
Artists/Bands
Enigma - There is no better music to meditate to, in the world.
Sarah McLachlan - Before she sold out and began producing more commercially viable material. I'm convinced Lilith Fair ruined her.
Cyndi Lauper - I have all of her albums, but, sadly, only like those songs that managed to see radio play.
Dream Theater - There's no two ways about it. These guys just @#$% rock. The first time I heard, "Pull Me Under," I thought, 'there's no way anyone is this @#$% good!' I then went to see them in concert, here in Kansas City, and was quite pleasantly proven wrong. They are that @#$% good!
Savatage - This band seems to be an amalgam of experimentation. They've produced nothing that's radio friendly that I know of. That's not to say they're music is controversial. Quite the contrary in fact. It's just so completely 'out there' that few people outside of their fan base could really ever get into it.
Bon Jovi - The ultimate in party rock. I dare anyone to listen to "Dead or Alive" and not come out with an insane urge to strap a guitar to your back, grab a motorcycle, and just ride wherever the road takes you.
The Cult - Another great party band.
Other favorites include:
Fates Warning
Guns 'n Roses
Blondie
Enya
Danny Elfman
Midnight Oil
Men at Work
Tompson Twins
'Til Tuesday
T'Pau
The Cure

Snakeriver Conspiracy
Concrete Blonde
Rob Zombie
Ozzy Osbourne
Museum
Queenzryche
Depeche Mode
Type O Negative
Souxsie & the Banshees

I'm sure I've missed plenty of stuff, but this will at least give an idea of my tastes.
You could of just saved time and said "A little of everything" :-)
There's plenty more out there that I don't listen to. I can't say I listen to a lot of country, hardcore metal, hard rap, polka, techno/dance....not to mention all the musics from other cultures that I haven't mentioned, mainly out of ignorance.
