What is your favorite music genre?

[Ol' Dirty]

My last poll sucked. Here's another one.

[Commie Rat]

being able to select more then one would make it 100 000 000 times betterer.
Punk/Hardcore/Metal

TSVM Represent

[The Grey Blur]

I see a few of my ideas were incorporated...

BTW - You should really not have grouped punk and metal together :lol:

what's the point, fluxone?
by the way, this is the last thread of this nature in the music forum
I will lock and/or trash all future ones

[Hegemonicretribution]

Good call RZ.

These threads have always been fairly common, and when the poll function became available even more so. However of late it has become ridiculous. There are more than enough of these about for a long time. The general consensus is that you will not please anyone with such limitted options.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

I wouldn't mind if you were to make a thread simply asking what music genres RL members like.
asking for a single "favorite" genre is already dumb, and asking from a total of 10 options is even dumber
why bother?

[Ol' Dirty]

I'm sadened that people tell people not to make polls altogether when the options are open. It's hypocritical. If people really want bad polls gone, get rid of the option to make them. If you really think polls should be gotten rid of, PM me, and I'll be the first one to support the movement.

[Dr. Rosenpenis]

open ended questions with limited options are ridiculous and useless. Just ask people -- what's your favorite musical genre?

we've had good polls, like "what's you favorite album by so-and-so artist?"
Or "What's your favorite sub-genre of punk?"

[chimx]

How come japanese noise or american no-wave isn't an option?

[somebodywhowantedtoleaveandnotcomeback]

What, electro doesn't exist? Disco was all just a dream? Drum 'n bass is a fairytale? -_-

[fernando]

Drum n bass is like sex without an orgasm...its too basy and loud to just chill out on and its too weak to go totally crazy on...

Techno or hardcore on the other hand...or even better Digital Hardcore :lol:

[Donnie]

Hardcore, Metalcore, Scremo & Crust Punk.

[Punk Rocker]

Much better dude.

Fucking Punk/Hardcore/Metal!


BTW - You should really not have grouped punk and metal together

I think it's cool you put them together dude, I love both.

Word, RZ.

Why people have to manufactor dozens of these horrible little threads, all of which are as meaningless as the last, I do not know.

[Atlas Swallowed]

Poll=fun. Jeez some people need to remove the stick out of thier asses :rolleyes: Does everything have to have a fucking point?

Punk and hardcore metal suits my personality and helps feed my rage.

[somebodywhowantedtoleaveandnotcomeback]

I :wub: polls

Why? Some pop is good, if it weren't it probably wouldn't be popular.

The Beatles, the Police, the Who, The Shadows, etc. All very popular bands and all very good bands.

i hate this attitude people hold about something that is popular that it must be shit.

[AdamCecil]

Favorite genre? Music.

I was pointing out that Punk and Metal are vastly different and that many people like one genre whilst being indifferent to the other - thus I think they shouldn't have been grouped together using my revolutionary system of '/'

I'm not cynical, I'm truthful

Fuck off, Atlas. Have you ever even listened to some decent electro? Daft punk? Kraftwerk? Telex? WhoMadeWho?

[Atlas Swallowed]

I would rather fuck on, thankyou. Do not get your panties in a bind, it is music a form of entertainment. The post was off the cuff. Do not know what electro is besides one of Spidermans enemies. You should listen to some Doctor Octopus you would probably like it.

Kraftwork, decent electro? :huh: What a novel suggestion!

personally, I am in the school of thought which places Kraftwork at the bottom of the list. Of course one must respect the fact that they were among the first of the genre, but that only inflates the fact that others have massively improved on their work.

Personally, I have become rather partial to some of gary Numans work, especially some of his newer stuff, like Domination Day. I also quite like Depeche Mode, synth pop all the way.

[Graham_Pogo]

Crust , Anarcho-Punk , Thrash , and Hardcore.

Is that the same guy who did that song "cars" in the early 80s?

Egads, I got that stupid song stuck in my head. Gotta find a drill and remove it.

Haha, no I don't like his early stuff, his later stuff, particularly the Excile album is great. Reminds me of NIN.

[Atlas Swallowed]

Kinda cool that he is still around. I wonder if "The Buggels and "M" are still around.

[Cheung Mo]

Power metal, folk metal, symphonic/epic/obnoxiously bombastic metal, easy listening, soft rock, classic rock, game music

[A New America]

Punk/hardcore/metal should be split. there 3 completely different genres

[kjt1981]

why is Techno in the same genre as Pop? are Aphex Twin and Justin Trousersnake really two sides of the same coin?

Why no Indie?

Also i voted Pop/Mainstream/Techno and meant (in the absence of an "Indie" option) to vote for Punk... can i get that changed please?

All of these problems/complaints were addressed in my own rather spiffing poll.

*sigh*

[Gryphon]

I like classic rock such as Bob Dylan, CCR and the one and only Jimi Hendrix. Sometimes I listen to the newer genre of fock like: Foo Fighters, Nirvana, NIN and REM.

[RebelOutcast]

Where the hell is industrial?

[Gryphon]

It would be scattered either in Techno or Metal. I know Nine Inch Nails is considered to be more or less 'Industrial' than plain rock but this is because the genre is not actually mainstream or he simply forgot to put it up. :P

[redchrisfalling]

Why isn't Disco on the list? "Disco's not dead...he's just in the drunk tank."

And as for the choices that are their how do you classify incredably versitile bands such as the RX bandits, The junction(great canadian indie band, check em out) and Tool, WHo switch from metal to ska to pop, record to record and song to song.

And then theirs hybrids. someone mentioned that metal punk and hardcore are all completely different. Not true AFI are a self proclaimed merger of metal and punk, and they almost single handidly started hardcore.

Where dose Frank Zappa qualify?

In short music, musicians, and their fans are way too unique to narrow down like this.

[Fistful of Steel]

I guess "indie" but I'll listen to most music, classical or punk or prog or metal or what have you. There's really no point in pigeon-holing music.

[The Bitter Hippy]

well i guess im a kind of an oxymoron... I'm quite marxist in views but i listen to quite a bit of black metal, which is widely portrayed as quite neo-nazist (sometimes with good reason, some bands are)... But i steer clear of those and the 'kill the christians' bands.

[The Grey Blur]

:) Smile. Or else I'd cry

[Orange Juche]

You should have had more genres... alternative, indie, emo, funk, psychadelic, industrial... and so on.

[simpleviolet]

Pop (Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers, We The Kings, Secondhand Serenade...)
Classic rock (AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Nirvana...)
Rap (Eminem, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg...)
RnB / Hip-Hop (Rihanna, R Kelly, Beyonce...)
Hard rock (Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Rise Against, Breaking Benjamin...)

[STJ]

Punk Rock.:thumbup:

[New Tet]

What, no button for all of the above?

[More Fire for the People]

Probably the worst grouping of genres ever.
WTF is Dixieland and what is it doing with Jazz?

[LeninBalls]

Cultural (World music), Arabic and Australian aborigine being my particular favourites.

[Pirate Utopian]

I like punk but I cant stand most metal.

[choff]

Metal. Mostly black and death metal, with some folk thrown in now and again. I listen to a lot of ska as well, and given that I can only click one I'm glad Punk and Metal was paired, as I can pretend I can make the connection between those two genres without being disembowled by some of my friends. I enjoy a lot of different types of music, but metal's definitely my default.

[NecroCommie]

Emperor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
QWWAAAARHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[S.O.I]

what the hell has funk got to do with rap/hip-hop?

what the funk?

[Pirate Utopian]

Pop (Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers, We The Kings, Secondhand Serenade...)
Classic rock (AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Nirvana...)
Rap (Eminem, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg...)
RnB / Hip-Hop (Rihanna, R Kelly, Beyonce...)
Hard rock (Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Rise Against, Breaking Benjamin...)
You really took the crappiest of each genre.

[STJ]

Pop (Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears, Jonas Brothers, We The Kings, Secondhand Serenade...)
Classic rock (AC/DC, Guns N Roses, Led Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Nirvana...)
Rap (Eminem, Ludacris, Snoop Dogg...)
RnB / Hip-Hop (Rihanna, R Kelly, Beyonce...)
Hard rock (Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, Rise Against, Breaking Benjamin...)
Dude i hope your jokeing?

[Malakangga]

dangdut

[MAVA]

no all?
lets embrace diversity!

[Tomhet]

Hardcore/D-beat/UK82/Anarcho/Crossover/Crust punk
Black Metal
Sludge metal
Grindcore/Power violence
Doom/Stoner metal
Rap/Hip Hop
Reggae
Post rock/metal
Goth (As in, Joy Division, Sisters of Mercy, Alien Sex Fiend, Christian death, etc)
alternative (such as flipper, sonic youth, nirvana, melvins, wire, slint, mc5, television, my bloody valentine)
Noise/Drone
Classical (Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Mussorgsky, Bach)
Ambient
Industrial



I had to name them all, it wouldn't be fair otherwise
but punk rock in general is #1.

[MrTrawley]

Calm music is my favorite music.

Necormancer has a supernatural ability to bring long-dead forum discussion threads back to life. After having been flogged to death the thread may have been deceased for many years, and bringing it back may have scant relevance to the current topic, yet Necromancer will unexpectedly exhume the thread’s rotting corpse, and strike horror in the forum as its grotesque form lurches into the discussion. The monster, instantly recognized by all who knew it in life, seems at first to breathe and have a pulse, but, alas, it is beyond Necromancer’s skill to fully restore the thread’s original vitality. The hideous apparition may frighten away some of the weaker Warriors or Warriors badly wounded in former battles, but the thread is only a shadow of its former self and very quickly expires.
Unlike Archivist (http://redwing.hutman.net/%7Emreed/warriorshtm/archivist.htm), Necromancer compulsively saves every forum message in carefully preserved archives for future use in battle, while Necromancer collects departed threads merely for the thrill of resurrecting them. Some say he performs this unnatural act out of malice, others say he can’t help himself, but no one really knows.

[No Capitalism]

My favorite music genre is metal. :cool:

[The Red]

Metal Forever

[Comrade B]

Favorites would have to be starting with Blues, then reggae, different genres of indie, funk, and then some rap

[Stranger Than Paradise]

I cannot pick one. Favourites would be punk, reggae, ska, funk, soul, r&b, hip hop, rock, folk and electronic.

[Misanthrope]

Emo, screamo, post-hardcore, reggae, hip-hop

:wub:

[Punk-Guevara]

I found myself in skate punk,hardcore,but I can listen Oi! bands like Angelic Upstarts & Loikaemie...:)

[Pogue]

This poll is rubbish. I hate metal but like punk.

[Искра]

Agree with Pogue.
And also it's bad that there are no multiple answers.
For example: I like reggae and punk same.

[Fog On The Tyne]

what the hell has funk got to do with rap/hip-hop?

what the funk?

I agree; I think Funk should have been in the same category as Jazz, as the two often cross over

[Fog On The Tyne]

And in conjunction with that, my favourite genres are Funk and Jazz. I guess it kinda figured, anyway :)

[Intifadah]

lack of an EDM option renders this poll null and void.

Pop/Mainstream/Techno just doesn't cut it :facepalm:

but if pushed I'd go for ska/reggae

UTNpaaPHENE

[axel]

Hardcore, everything what is hardcore :D
