which do you prefer

[dark fairy]

what do you prefer... if other what other if you can decide... man just state your mind... :)

[RAGING BULL]

Alternative Noise-Rock/Pop is my favourite. Sonic Youth, Mogwai, Pavement, Pixies, Flaming Lips, My Bloody Valentine, Stephen Malkmus etc.

[redfront]

Metal and rock, it's just more a live, than other mainstream pop/hip-hop/rap.
i like bands like:
RATM (they are renegades of funk)
Slipknot (because they just fucks the system)
System of a Down (well they fucks the system too).

[celtopunk]

Punk after that it varies dependent on my mood: soul, ska, folk, world, traditional reggae.

[mia wallace]

i voted rock en espanol.
i lesten mainly rock and latin stuff (mano negra, manu chao, psihomodo pop, the beatles od course, ...)

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I voted classic rock.
My second choice would be blues. You should have included that.
And my third choice would have been jazz.
You also failed to put that.
:(

[Pedro Alonso Lopez]

Classic Rock and a little jazz.

[Bad Grrrl Agro]

I'm torn between metal, ska, and punk
but I went with punk

[FatFreeMilk]

Hey that's pretty damn cool you put rancheras as an option (you meant rancheras right?). I can't stand it but I'm pretty sure that's the first time it's ever been an option on any kind of poll here.

I recommend you listen to a band called "Iran". You'd dig that shit.

[dark fairy]

yeah i meant rancheras... i mean to put general things in...but it was just what came to mind at the time... but for the most part everyone has their own thing that they prefer to listen to... and for me it is classic rock,classical,rock en espanol, metal... and that's about it...oh and oldies...i like a lot of shit i know i left something out... but oh well :unsure: :)

[atlanticche]

i may of said metal as usual before actually reading the thing, but i suppose it would be grunge

[Pingu]

i love punk, although i like ska and some metal too

[toastedmonkey]

I voted other, i like Alt Rock - The Vines, My Vitriol, The Stills et cetra

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Originally posted by dark [email protected] 28 2004, 02:07 AM

Blues, Jazz, and Soul/R & B

[God of Imperia]

Can't we mix? Because I don't really believe a person could just like one style ... It is always possible, but I doubt it ...

[nezvanova]

gicen the choices, i chose classic rock, but i also love blues, jazz, old bluegrass stuff from 'o brother where art thou?' and grunge just as much. Well, not really grunge as a whole, I mainly like Nirvana, the meat puppets, that kind of stuff. But even classic rock, it has to be the real classics, like the stones, zepplin, zappa, deep purple, floyd, etc etc. There's lots of classic rock that just bugs me, but in general it's good.

[SittingBull47]

yea. i like alternative and modern/progressive rock. political rock mainly.

pray tell what is "rancheras"?

[FatFreeMilk]

I voted other, i like Alt Rock - The Vines, My Vitriol, The Stills et cetra
I love The Stills! That song will not get out of my head.


gicen the choices, i chose classic rock, but i also love blues, jazz, old bluegrass stuff from 'o brother where art thou?
Hell yeah, I'm not really into much blue grass but that one song kicks ass!

I listen to a wide variety of music that I can't even pick which one I like the best. From classic rock, hip hop, rap, alt. rock, garage rock, rock en espanol, classical, underground hip hop, cumbias (sue me!), metal,punk, and I've been getting into reggae, I love it all. Shit I know I'm forgetting some stuff.
Although some people would group some of that into one big group, but it doesn't work that way.

Nice

Which song? Lola Stars and Stripes?

Yesterday Never Tomorrows, and Changes Are No Good are great tracks off thier new album

[God of Imperia]

We're getting of topic here :)

[Eastside Revolt]

I'd say most of the choices there are reletively the same kind of music.

[FatFreeMilk]

Which song? Lola Stars and Stripes?

No, the still in love song.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Yeah, RC is right.
You gave ska, classic rock, punk, metal, and rock en espanol different categories, but you didn't even mention the most popular genre: contemporary rock.

Ska is possibly a genre of punk.
Metal is similar to classic rock.
And rock en espanol is rock.

[Inti]

Well I answered Rap because that is the music I listen the most to, like Immortal Technique, Tiro de Gracia, Orishas, Non Phixion and such..
I listen to a lot, but most of the time the important thing to me is the message of a song. I really like Victor Jara, Los Prisioneros, Molotov, Brujeria, Tierra Sur, Zen, Carlos Puebla and the list goes oooooooooooooonnnn.... I really listen to most kind of music and dont really think that there is so many other people who just listen to one category of music..

[Jesus Christ]

emocore, emo, hardcore
yep

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Really, man?
I have a friend taht listens to that stuff too.
I always thought you were into Primus, the Cure, and Queen and stuff.

[dark fairy]

sorry i just wrote what came to mind and yeah mix... i just want to see what you people listen to... because truely i can't picture my life without music... i live for music!!! it makes my day... :) :D as far as different genres well i don't know... what sets a standard and who sets a standard! damn it!

What is contemporary rock, seriously please give some examples.

Oh, and Ska is most certainly NOT a sub genre of punk. Some bands have successfully mixed the two but those bands tend to be punk bands that mix in some ska. Ska predates punk so it can't be a subgenre of punk. And the first punk had no Ska elements in it so punk is also not a subgenre of Ska.

Yeah, but it's probably necessary to condense ska into something else in order to make a decent poll when you only have 10 slots alloted to you.

If I made the poll, I would have probably put it in the woefully excluded 'Reggae' option.

You&#39;re right, if you are going to groups Ska with something it should be Reggae.

There&#39;s some rap/metal groups but you wouldn&#39;t group those two genes under one heading.

[Danton]

I&#39;m really into that "other" stuff, the whole "otherness" scene is fantastic, strictly "other"..."other"..

[SoulRebel04]

I just decided 2 choose rap since I listen 2 it the most...Im into Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Immortal Technique, etc. I also like rock en espanol, R&B, Latin music...just anything other than country <_<

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

Well, whatever you wanna call it, CP, you need to have somewhere for rock.

My point was that there is no option for modern rock that isn&#39;t punk, metal, prog, etc. And that doesn&#39;t only leave pop rock.

Not that I listen to it. Most of it is pretty crappy.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

Hahaha... My musical taste ownz...

Trance (If you think DJ Sammy is a Trance DJ, you must die)
Hard Trance (Blow those speakers&#33;)
Hard House (I love this stuff)
Oldskool Trance (Reeks of the 90&#39;s)
Goa (Otherworldly goodness)
Hardcore (What americans call &#39;happy&#39; hardcore, as they&#39;ve obviously never heard of Gabber or Terrorcore)
Chilled/Ambient Trance (Smoke the O to this stuff)
Dub & Breaks (hooray)
Eurodance (Cheese)
Classical (More brilliant stuff, as long as it aint Mozart or Beethoven.)
New Age (Well I like it)
80&#39;s Synthpop (My dad likes it as do I)
Bhangra (Trying this one out)
Reggae (Another one I&#39;m sampling)
Nu-Metal (Not as into this as I was)

Anything else is complete pap and not worth looking into :P

That is a good song, i stopped listening to it though, cause i couldnt get it out of my head&#33;

You have great taste

[dopediana]

i&#39;ve been folking it up since i was a little kid.

[che's long lost daughter]

I prefer rock, punk, some metal and some jazz. And some rock in Portuguese (Brazilian) from the band called Blind Pigs.

[Louis Pio]

Anyone here into hardcore (punk)?
Personally i grew up on death metal. Later I started on punk. And now when im 24 I hear everything from Madball, Carcass till Kool Keith till Joy Division and Bach. So as you have might realised I have a very "wide" taste in music. But still I like the hardcore punk or metal best.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

A lot of folks around here like hardcore.
Not me, personaly, though.

[dark fairy]

All I can say is that there are different strokes for different folks&#33; and everyone has different taste and that&#39;s ok because we are all individuals... but now that i really look at this i don&#39;t think it is a good variety of music to pick from but oh well next time&#33; laters people

[7186]

I like classic rock best.

[Anonymous]

I voted for Classic Rock. I just can&#39;t get enough of that stuff.

[God of Imperia]

Does anyone know musicmatch? I think it&#39;s very usefell for getting to know new bands and things

[akowa]

I voted for rock en español, my favourite groups are boikot,hamlet,reincidentes...etc) I also like rap (arianna puello the most, have you heard of her?) and, i love r&b and soul too

I know this mixture&#39;d sound weird, but that&#39;s what I listen to :P

[celtopunk]

I think the votes from 7186 and Anonymous should probably be thrown out as they are probably the same person and that person probably already voted with their real screen name.

[El Tipo]

I like movie soundtracks. :o
np. Passion of the christ soundtrack

[anarxist]

I like classic rock, punk rock. But most of them I listen anatoli rock - for example, Haluk Levent.

[RHIZOMES]

I like most genres of music, but rap is my favourite. :D

[Gitfiddle Jim]

All of 'em. I would've said blues if it was up there though.

[RedAnarchist]

Rock music in general, I suppose.

[Dystisis]

I like experimental and heavy music. Including 60-70s rock, progressive rock, post-rock and post-metal, with some ambient or drone stuff thrown in.
For example, newer stuff I like is Neurosis, Mastodon, Isis, Tool and others. Of older (and more relaxing) stuff, I really enjoy Pink Floyd, King Crimson (up until and including 'Red'), Led Zeppelin, etc.

[F9]

i like both rock and rap but i voted rap.

[Bastable]

Metal, I think that Tool are one of the greatest bands of all time

[S.O.I]

id vote hip-hop but its not there, so i voted classic rock.

[LeftBackAgain]

why can't we chose more than one...OR I LIKE IT ALL!!! hahaha :laugh:

[Malakangga]

metal terus sampai mampus!!!!!!!!!

[High Voltage]

I voted for punk. I like the powerchords; leaves a lot of available space for soloing too. It's easy to sing to and just plain rocks. I love to mix punk with everything...:lol:

[Kami]

METAL

[Malakangga]

metal,punk,rap

[Invader Zim]

Necromancy is never cool.

[Svante]

Punk rock like the Rasmus and H.I.M.

[Carbonero]

Metal!!!!

[Sharon den Adel]

I'm a metal person, myself. I wasn't always, but ever since I started listening to Evanescence in 2003, I found myself getting more and more into different types of metal. Almost all the music I listen to now is metal.:)

[Malakangga]

metal and punk

[Grunt]

WOW !

Punk is up at 30% !!! Awesome ! :)

Ska: Only 5% ? Thats a bit of a disappointment...

Remember the good times we had (and still have)
with for example: 'Madness' ?? :)

[YeOldeCommuniste]

Classic rock generally. :D

Other than that, my music tastes are very eclectic.

[Comrade B]

Most of my music is indy punk, and a little bit of rap.
favorite bands
Gogol Bordello - Gypsy Punk
Blue Scholars - Leftist Hip Hop
Arctic Monkeys - Rock

[Comrade B]

I think I should add to this, Paul Robeson's voice is unbelievable.

[Chapter 24]

I'm definitely a classic/hard rock and metal guy. Really, anything from Tool to Hendrix to Rammstein to Bob Marley (see icon). Of course this doesn't exclude awesome bands that couldn't fit into either, i.e. Alice in Chains. :)

[Bilan]

Indie, pop, crust, hip hop, rap, folk, jazz, garage punk, punk, electro.

[bluerev002]

Rock en español!! Homie you put some good ones up there...Rancheras or Rock en Español? That's a hard one but I love them Jaguares

[Module]

I would have chosen many of those options, but the one I listen to most, or at least appreciate most is 'Other' AKA progressive rock. ;)

[mykittyhasaboner]

it was a tough choice between punk and ska, but punk is what got me into music, and leftism, so PUNK!

[Grunt]

it was a tough choice between punk and ska, but punk is what got me into music, and leftism, so PUNK!
Same here ! :D

[An archist]

Dub, punk, hiphop, ska, DrumnBass

[Y Chwyldro Comiwnyddol Cymraeg]

I voted Ska.
But the poll was missing a Reggae, Funk/Soul, Jazz or Blues option. What is Rancheras anyway?

[Sickle of Justice]

Punk, of course. but not just punk, you know? my fav music is crust punk, but it gets kinda boring after awhile, so i listen to folk and ska often, according to my mood.

[Sickle of Justice]

Same here ! :D

here here. i learned what anarchism was by listening to aus-rotten. (and then reading some books and talking to people as a result)

[andreyapadty]

I like to hear Hip-hop Its very cool to me...

[cop an Attitude]

I would say i lean towards alternavite (anything from 70s-now), some metal, punk and classic rock.

[ev]

ALTERNATIVE & PROGRESSIVE!!

Dmitry Medvedev was a fan of Deep Purple & Black Sabbeth when he was a young lad, I can respect that.

[cleef]

yeh i'd lean towards rap..after that its probably dubstep
although i do like some punk etc. to be honest il listen to anything with a good beat / message really

[Knight of Cydonia]

Death metal or punk rock i prefer:thumbup:

[Dóchas]

ye it was between classic rock, punk and metal but i went for classic rock in the end :cool:

[brigadista]

my other is cante hondo

[Skin_HeadBanger]

Metal, but punk as a close second.

[PC81]

Classic Rock.
Anything by the Stones, Jimi, Doors, Zepplin, Dylan, etc...

[teenagebricks]

Punk, mainly post punk and hardcore punk. As with PC81, Hendrix and Dylan are also favourites of mine.

[JohannGE]

As there is no Radiohead option, I can't vote!

;)

[-marx-]

I like Nirvana, Pixies, Sonic Youth, Dinosaur jr, Melvins, The Cure, Earth, Frank Black, Kinski, Ladytron, Lard, Public Image, The Wipers, etc.

[Comrade B]

I would be up for changing my vote from punk to other, as of my recent introduction to some excellent Blues and Reggae musicians

*=primarely old stuff:

[JohnnyC]

I mostly like classical music, classic rock and rap.Metal can also be cool sometime.

[Armand Iskra]

I prefer punk although I like Goth, Metal and Ska.
What I am looking is the essence, the sound as well as the message of the music. Most left artists, especially those who used to hear "working-class, folkish" ones, have a tendency to create music according to their genre to show its message, and not of accumulating profit like lil'wayne or bastardised singers do.
