Mainstream rock got my vote.

Surely you've heard of Daft Punk? (Forget about their last album, it never existed)
And Kraftwerk?

[More Fire for the People]

Other, I like mainstream rock, punk rock, art rock, art-punk rock, hip hop, jazz, rap, r&b, etc. I loathe country though.

[Punk Rocker]

Dude, what the hell? You didn't list punk or metal at all. I just went with non-mainstream rock, I guess it falls in there.

[Iroquois Xavier]

i chose other cos i like everything. even tho i like indie/rock the most. :D

[Vladislav]

Heavy Metal and Death Metal. Even though it's not there.
And what genre does Nine Inch Nails fall into?

[Black Dagger]

Industrial.

[vox_populi]

I don't know what they call Isis, Neurosis and Cult Of Luna...you know that slow and dynamic music that grows from nothing in to chaos...

[Tekun]

No underground hip hop? :huh:

Arrrggh, oh well, I guess "rap" gets my vote

[Invader Zim]

I thought it was quite amuzing that techno was on the list as opposed to say just plain old Dance.

I would have had

Dance/Electronica
Urban
Popular - (IE Disco)
Rock and Roll (Rockand Metal inclusive)
Folk
Classical

And that covers everything, but what do you get when you have trip-hop, industrial, rap-metal, etc? I also don't know where to place Jazz, soul, etc.

[The Grey Blur]

Ska-punk man

[Mano Dayak]

Rock, whether mainstream or not, and rap.

[Ol' Dirty]

There were only ten lines, so I'm sorry if your type of music isn't here.

[el Rebesnét del Tio Canya]

Ska and punk!

Aah I like Disco too.. not just the music, but the whole.. well "atmosphere" might describe it best. Industrial is good too.


I don't know what they call Isis, Neurosis and Cult Of Luna...you know that slow and dynamic music that grows from nothing in to chaos...
Emo? I don't know the groups you mentioned, but do you mean music like Muse?

[Hegemonicretribution]

Labels are god when discussing music with a person, but are not useful for quantifying styles. Personally though I listen to all genres more or less, and most throw up things I adore, and things I don't.

I wouldn't know where to begin, but.....no I don't knw where to begin.

[Anarcho-Communist]

UP THE PUNX!

Where is the option that reads "PUNK"??

[kurt]

grunge, punk, hardcore

[celtopunk]

Exactly what I was gonna say.

When will you people stop creating this shitty, useless polls?

[somebodywhowantedtoleaveandnotcomeback]

This (http://www.revolutionaryleft.com/index.php?showtopic=46874) is a much better poll ^_^

That was arrogant. Why are you making a shameless plug for yourself?

[somebodywhowantedtoleaveandnotcomeback]

Because I am arrogant and shameless :D

[Donnie]

I mostly listen to hardcore, scremo, metalcore and ska punk.

I listen to bands like; Throwdown, Casey Jones, Most Precious Blood, The Warriors, Avenged Sevenfold and Killswitch Engage

For punk its got to be; Dropkick Murphys, Propagandhi, Leftover Crack, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake.

I don't like arrogance.

[somebodywhowantedtoleaveandnotcomeback]

Me neither, I was only kidding... :unsure:
You don't suppose I was serious about "my" poll being a "better" poll do you? :huh:

[Ol' Dirty]

Pardon me. It was hard to tell.

[somebodywhowantedtoleaveandnotcomeback]

I know, it's confusing sometimes when you can't hear the intonation in one's voive, but just have to judge off a computer screen :)

[Much Commie Love]

Exactly, unless, of course, one uses the genious invention of SMILIES... yo rock-dusted monkey-wrench ;)

[Niall]

extreme heavy metal and hardcore

[drain.you]

I put mainstream rock caus I got confused. I mean, most rock comes from non-mainstream roots and grows into mainstream, so its hard to distinguish what you mean.

I like a range of stuff, heres a short list:

Red Hot Chili Peppers
Nirvana
Ramones
Sex Pistols
Placebo
Madonna
Greenday
Beatles
Blink182
Jack Off Jill
Bright Eyes
Foo Fighters
Slipknot
Wheatus
U2

Its generally 'rock' music I listen to but theres a large swing from different types of 'rock' depending on my mood.

Agreed. Sorry about that, bro. By the way, I enjoyed that thread you made that's in the trash. :lol: Hillarity! :lol:

[Commie Rat]

Hardcore, Punk, Ska and johnny fucking cash!

[TomRK1089]

Daft Punk, w00t! It doesn't get better than [u]Discovery[/i].

[Djehuti]

Oi!, punk & ska...

...and a nordic political music style called "progg", not to be confused with "prog" (Pink floyd, Dream theater, Mars volta, Rush etc).

The slogan of the progg movement is "let us create our own music culture", and it's international roots lies partly in the protest-movement and the protest singers.

Progg was more a movement than a music style, some progg is very experimental but mostly it is political rock or political ballads. The movement was huge in the 70ies with bands like Nationalteatern, Hoola Bandoola Band and Blå Tåget, many of the progg bands of the seventies still play.

Nationalteatern is one of our most famous bands ever, they still play (they have a song called "we continue to play rock'n'roll though we are about to die". http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/29/Nat2001d.jpg

They filled the same role as the politcal punk 10 years later or the politcal hip hop 20 years later. They sing about the poor suburbs, proletarians and lumpen proletarians, beer, drugs, class stuggle, the cops, boredom, etc.
Their most famous song is probably "children of our time", other famous songs are "life is a party", and the deeper "The Island of the Bandit King"; an allegorical critique on capitalism.

Blå Tåget (Blue Train) also still play sometimes, they have planty of deep and philosophical lyrics. They are inspired by anarchism, marxism, nihilism and situationism. One of their most famous songs are "The one hand knows that the other hand does", or "the state and the capital" as it is usually called. This song was covered by the most famous swedish punk band ever, Ebba Grön (I think amost) every household in the country have an Ebba Grön record). "Side by side, together hand in hand - the state and capital sit in the same boat", "when capital needs labour force the state supplies, the one hand nows exactly what the other does", etc. Onother famous song of theirs is "The icecream factory", it is about a girl who start to work in an icecream factory during the 40ies, it is a realistic story that tells of capitalism and class stuggle, and ends in the 70ies with the girl (now an old women) being taken away by agents in black. "On the way to the copper mine" is another Blå Tåget song, and it's about an agreement between the official labour movement and the capitalist class in 1938. However, in this version the famous meeting ends quite differently. In the nine minuts long song the politicians, beaurocrats, union bigwigs, capitalists, bishops, generals, state officials and policemen all get slaughtered and the hotel where they met is blown to pieces. :D They also have a song on the cold war called "the cold war", it is also a very long song and is basicly a socialist view on the cold war in music form. I have the lyrics in swedish and italian if you are interested.

The third really large progg band of the seventies is "Hoola Bandoola Band". Some of their famous songs include "Cheops pyramid", a song about slaves in ancient Egypt, but it's about class society in general. "Victor Jara" a tribute to Victor Jara, "Stop the game!" an invitation to stop the tennis game between Sweden and Pinochet's Chile, and "Juanita", a song about the spanish civil war, francos regime and the tourists supporting it with their money.

Two of the Hoola Bandoola Band members, Björn Afzelius (RIP) and Mikael Wiehe, have also had very successful solo-carrers. And both became very famous artists and personalites in the nordic countries. Afzelius might even be our most played artists ever. He wrote ~150 songs about love, relations, pleasures and politics. Only a few of his songs were ever translated into english: http://www.bjornafzelius.com/plater/another_tale_to_tell.htm

[Sickle of Justice]

PUUUUUUUNK!!! and hardcore.... i suppose that falls into non mainstream rock.. tho it would probably be better if you titled "non mainstream rock" "alternative rock".

[Ol' Dirty]

That's it; this poll sucks. I'm making a new one.

[Zero]

What the fuck told you to put country on there? Why would anyone willingly listen to a bunch of guys praising America for raping the poor people of money and labor?

/me voted other. <3 at Ska.

[socialistpunk]

I picked other because you didn&#39;t include punk <_<. Why do people do that punk is good. Please next time include punk. ;)

[Dean]

Electronic industrial.

[BurnTheOliveTree]

Other - Indy, punk and folk.

-Alex

[Rex0230]

wow... no1 like jazz?:blink:

[Arachnist]

Reggae got my vote, but i like most kinds of music (except rap, pop and r'n'b). Punk is probably second.

[Red October]

fuck you, Johnny Cash is the shit

[Comrade B]

It is only the modern country music that is pure shit.

[ÑóẊîöʼn]

My music tastes are quite varied. The following list is all the genres of music I listen to, with the ones I listen to most listed first:

Psytrance/Goa
Happy Hardcore
Trance
Hard House/Hard Trance
Metal (Industrial, Thrash, nu-Metal and Death Metal)
Rock (Stuff like Nine Inch Nails, Rage Against the Machine, and classic rock)
Drum & Bass
Dub/Reggae
Chillout/Ambient
New Age
Rap/Hip-Hop (Onyx, Cypress Hill, DMX)
Gabber
New Wave
Darkwave
Dubstep

I also have a smattering of songs from other genres that I can't quite remember now. I also have a fondness for some pop music made before the late 90s.

[BIG BROTHER]

long live the heavy metal!

[Dicktator]

I voted "other". I have answered this same quetion many times before in forums. All I can say is that I probably know Rocl and Roll better than any other genre but I like too many other ones to select only one.

[Comrade Rage]

I like a lot of music, mainly R&B from 1965-1997. I also like disco from the '70's and '80's.

[RHIZOMES]

i voted rap.

The line between mainstream rock vs. non-mainstream rock is quite arbitrary.

[Jeanette]

And the Barbie-girl says:
Metal, Death Metal, Heavy Metal, Metalcore and all other kinds of metal I can think of.
Though I listen to almost all music, metal is what I prefer.

(At this moment, Dimmu Borgir fills my ears.)

Dimmu Borgir are shit.

[RHIZOMES]

Dimmu Borgir are shit.

Here we go again... :rolleyes:

[Mala Tha Testa]

voted other, i enjoy everything up there except country(exluding Johnny Cash, he's awesome)

[Malakangga]

metal and punk

[RedAnarchist]

I like bands such as Muse, Manic Street Preachers, Trivium, Strike Anywhere, Propaghandi, Authority Zero, Zearle, The Nightwatchman etc.

[Kami]

Power Metal and Progressive Rock are the shit. Particuarly when combined in one band (i.e. Ayreon)

[Lector Malibu]

I checked other.

For years all I listened to was ska and various reggae artist. I was really into that music and that scene.

I still love reggae in all it's various strains though these days I don't really listen to it as much as I used too.

Right now my favorite music is the most bazaar , random musical somethings I run across.

No really it's bad and embarrassing:blushing:

[Jenska]

Ambient (+ his subgenres) and Chicago House music are my beloved genres. But i also like prog-rock, jazz, funk, hiphop and even classical music from Middle-Eastern countries..

[thejambo1]

i put other because i am a punk rock fan and dont think you cover it in your choices.

[nobullshit]

I enjoy listening to Jazz and classic R&B, some Motown, after a long hard day's worth at work, when I'm finally allowed to mellow out. I find music a much better relaxer than booze ever was. In fact jazz music's pure calmness gave me reason to quit smoking, as I would fall asleep with a cigarette in my mouth and end up putting an ash stain on the floor.
In my youth I enjoyed many rock bands, including Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Dead. I actually went to many of these concerts back when tickets were at a reasonable price considering the quality of the music you got - no rap or pseudo-rock bullshit. I remember one of the more memorable times at a concert I had a concert was at Farm Aid in '85.

[Cherocks34]

I like everything exept :Dtechno and disco.
