What Type of Music do Y'all Listen to?

[BigMattFromTexas]

I listen to 1, 2, and 3. I can't stand rap and whatnot. I listen to metal with the computer volume at 20, I can't listen to metal/rock at a low volume. It just doesn't work for me.

But what music do y'all like? I know there's an old music thread somewhere, but it wasn't a poll, so... Here.
~Edit~ Haha it's poll not pool.

mainly classic rock, metal, industrial, 50s and 60s rock, punk, new wave ... smidgens of old-school rap on occasion.  Various things like Frank Sinatra and Lady Gaga sometimes pop in.

[TheStranger]

No option for non-rap R&B and jazz, except "other"?   

[BigMattFromTexas]

There, I made those two an option. heh heh.

I'll listen to pretty much anything so long as the mood strikes me, although I generally don't do classical or jazz.

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

[Truvelo]

I selected rap/hip hop. I listen mainly to late 80s/early 90s tunes and if I'm in North America and my rental car has Sirius XM it's tuned into Backspin virtually all the time.

I tend to machine-gun-swap between Boneyard, First Wave, Liquid Metal, and Hair Nation.  Despite the lack of traditional advertising, in-between-song jingles somehow manage to be extra infuriating, thus the extremely quick change of stations. 

the best part of satellite radio is at night, when they eliminate the DJs and the yakking and the other noise, and just play the damn songs already.

Heck, even some terrestrial radio stations have gone sans DJ overnight. Some don't even bother to use them for the entire broadcast day.

this sounds like an excellent development.  Given that song and artist information can be transmitted out-of-band and displayed on a radio's LCD readout, the DJ has become entirely superfluous.

if you want to listen to talk, there is talk radio available everywhere.  I for one tune into classic rock to hear classic rock, not some yutz asking if I'd heard the latest about Lindsay Lohan.

What about modern rock? I usually keep my radio on Sirius 21 - Alt Nation (modern rock) and Sirius 24 - Lithium (90's rock).

about the most modern stuff I tend to like is Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Alice in Chains - it is with some dismay that I note that it is officially considered classic rock now.

Stuff from the early 90's is getting on for 20 years now although it seems like only yesterday when it came out. Doesn't time fly

[Brandon]

Only select 2!?!  OK, I went with the top 2.  Here goes for me: classic rock/pop, classic R&B (Motown, Stax), crossover country (stuff that can be rock/pop or country), some classical (Vivaldi comes to mind), zydeco, some modern rock/pop, a bit of other stuff here and there that sounds good.

[KEK Inc.]

Where's alternative rock (indie/electronic/grunge/punk/prog)? 

I generally listen to alt rock, classic rock, and jazz hip hop.

[triplemultiplex]

Classic Rock     yes
Metal               absolutely
Country           very little
Rap/Hip-hop    sure
R&B                not really
Jazz                meh

Most of what I like would fall into that enormous "alternative" category; the alt rock station here in Milwaukee covers it pretty well.

[BigMattFromTexas]

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.

[Bryant5493]

I'm into country, rap, R&B, rock, jazz, techno -- anything that gets my feet moving.


Be well,

you forgot communist electro-polka.  all music in all reality is communist electro-polka.  except Black Dog, which is clearly not polka.

Would that be like a electro-polka version of the Russian nat'l anthem?

D'oh! Post edited. I totally forgot about them

[cu2010]

I like music with vocalists actually singing, and being played by real instruments (not synthesizers).

Which means no rap, no hip-hop, no electronica...you get the idea.

I'm a rock guy myself- both classic and modern.  There's nothing like driving to really loud rock music.

indeed.  though last week Ministry commanded me to do 124mph.

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