What Type of Music do Y'all Listen to?

[joseph1723]

I mostly listen to classic rock and alternative the most but I also listen to some country rock, a little classical, and maybe some jazz.

Music is like candy: You have to throw away the rappers.

Haha, funniest thing I read online today

OK, I'm not gonna make 1,000,000 different genres just so that everyone's happy. It's not that hard to select "other" is it? Dang.
BigMatt

Alternative rock is a pretty broad genre that's huge.

I like progressive rock, jazz, alternative, funk, 70s stuff. I listen to a heck of a lot of autotune hipGaga (wife) and Disney pop (kids)

All of them

[Stephane Dumas]

For others, it's music performed in French, power ballads, disco. But it's hard to classify Sam Roberts, with his songs like Detroit '67 and Bridge to Nowhere who can span 2 categories

YAY, classic rock leads the poll 2 to 1 
That's about all I listen to, obviously  . It's not that I havent listen to the other genres, I just havent found anything I like except Classic R&R and some Bluegrass and the Blues. Alot of memories in Classic R&R I guess.
Actually my preference is the more obscure classic R&R, like you hear on Deep Tracks on Sirius/XM sat rad or a good classic R&R fm station, ohhh yay!!! 

[Bryant5493]

Here's one of my favorite country artists -- the "Man in Black."

TRUE MEN DON'T KILL COYOTES!
Dang I've listened to Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria 5 times in a row with the volume at 20. That song has one of the best guitar riffs I've heard.

[golden eagle]

I like all of the above, though I'm not really into country.

[deathtopumpkins]

Dang I've listened to Welcome Home by Coheed and Cambria 5 times in a row with the volume at 20. That song has one of the best guitar riffs I've heard.

That song is the most epic thing ever... and since I just read that I must now play it.

---

I listen to pop, electronica, alt rock, techno, trance, hip hop, dance, modern rock, whatever. I even have some instrumental tracks in there, as well as movie soundtracks.

I hate classifying music into specific genres, however, because my tastes are so varied. My iPod can easily go from Journey to Lady Gaga to Bullet for my Valentine to David Guetta.

[Scott5114]

Probably the most unusual thing I'm into is video game music.

I get a kick out of some slot machine music. Aristocrat machines generally have the best (and the most video-gamey you can get outside of Konami slot machines), though I'm rather partial to the IGT Huge Fucking Win Theme. It gets kind of annoying when the machine starts playing a song you kind of like and the customer cuts it off and keeps playing. Dude, you just won $500, bask in it!

(first person to get me a copy of the Aristocrat hand pay song in the clear gets a regional modship )

I think I've only heard the Aristocrat handpay song once. As I generally don't bet enough to induce handpays, it certainly wasn't mine. But I generally like the MIDIness of Aristocrat's music.

[BigMattFromTexas]

I like Metallica . Liked Slipknot and Disturbed but not so much anymore, too much cussing.. I get enough of that in football haha.
BigMatt

[Duke87]

Disturbed's first album had a lot of profanity, but subsequent albums not so much ("Liberate" notwithstanding).

I didn't know slot machines played music...

[Bryant5493]

Another great song I like...

I didn't know slot machines played music...

They're pretty much just computers now. The button panel just hooks up with a bog-standard USB connection. I'm guessing the reels do too (for some reason it's against policy for floor attendants to touch the reels). Hell, VGTs and Multimedias run as an application on top of Windows XP!

[TheStranger]

I think my tastes are pretty varied:

- rock and R&B from the 1960s on, though primarily 70s music
- late 1950s to mid-1970s jazz, particularly early jazz fusion
- certain types of novelty music (Wesley Willis!!!)

Favorite groups/musicians, a brief list:

Billy Joel
Aimee Mann
Songs: Ohia/Magnolia Electric Co./Jason Molina's solo work
The Isley Brothers
The Who
The Beatles (and in terms of post-breakup solo work, probably Paul McCartney's 1970s output)
Miles Davis
Phil Collins/Genesis
The Bee Gees (particularly the "disco" era band with Blue Weaver on keyboards and Dennis Bryon as their drummer)
Jonatha Brooke
Emily Haines (much more her solo stuff than anything from Metric)

I know a few of WMS's platforms run on top of Linux, because I've seen them reboot.

[Hot Rod Hootenanny]

I like how the 14 year old thinks the world only extends to the horizon beyond his bedroom window. 
At least you included Jazz. Gospel, Blues, and Folk (and Jazz) is the foundation of 99.9% of music we hear today.  You'd think they could be included on your list.

That said, Classic rock, alternative rock, punk rock, fusion, Funk, Philly Sound, Stax, Southern Soul, Chicago Blues, Delta Blues, Swamp Blues, Outlaw Country, Americana (modern folk)

[Roadgeek Adam]

God if you ask me, I developed my taste from music from actually watching dozens of Time Life music collection infomercials. I am serious. I like everything but Heavy Metal, Rap, and Punk Rock. I know it works, considering I used the Classic Soft Rock one hosted by Air Supply's Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock and turned on a new song for me, "Jessie" by Joshua Kadison (1993). Now I've played it what, 45 times in the last 24 hours. (Dunno how already)

However, I also used those infomercials to expand my music interests. The earliest song I listen to is Hank Williams Sr.'s "Hey Good Looking" from 1951. The newest one is "Hey There Delilah" from the Plain White Ts in 2005.
