Everybody talks about music so much, so I'm surprised this hasn't come up yet.

1) Rock - Any style, any era.
2) R&B - there shouldn't be much to explain
3) Pop - Domestic or imported. I don't care
4) Rap - there shouldn't be much to explain
5) Contemperary Christian - Any of the "other" types of music that the word "Christian" can be placed in front of (Christian Rock, Christian Pop, Christian Rap, etc.). Does not include hymnals, gospel, or bands that have a Christian message if you look hard enough. (So if all you listen to is Creed or POD, don't click this)
6) Heritigeal - The most common would be Gospel, Irish/Scottish/Celtic/relatives, Native American, or Ancient anything
7) There's more than that! - I know I left something out, so if it is yours, choose this.

Rock and/or Roll.

--------------------

I close my mouth now and I scream,
Open the door, there's nothing worth redeeming
I saw your face before in rough,
You should wait around a while, your body's bound to turn up.
So low for how high?
-Matt Good, "Running for Home"

I voted Rock. But the term rock has to be the most vague saying ever considering there are at least 10 types of "rock music". My favorite "sub-genres", per se, in order are...

1) Hard Rock: Loud, dark guitar riffs, bass usually tuned to C-D-C-G, dark lyrics paired with loud vocals/occasional screaming (e.g. Trust Company, Tool, Nonpoint, System of a Down)

2) Modern Rock: Stereotypical rock.... Often a modern rock band will have 2 lead guitarists, but not all the time. A standard tuning on the bass, often a basic bassline of one note consecutives, vocals are clear but can range (e.g. The Exies, Puddle of Mudd, Red Hot Chili Peppers, 3 Doors Down)

3) Punk Rock: A lot of times there is a difficult bassline. Half the time, the guitar is limited to light riffs or simplistic rhythms. the other half of the time, the guitar line is extremely experienced and challenging. Drumming is loud and stands out. (e.g: 311, Offspring, Goldfinger, Green Day)

4) Grunge: one of the most outspoken genres of rock. Guitar riffs are loud and incoherent, but yet sound so awesome. Drumming is usually just snare, bass drum, hi-hat, and multiple crash cymbals (Toms are used occasionally in certain songs). Bass is either tuned up (F-B-D-G) or the E-string tuned down (D-A-D-G) and is often hammered (instead of picked or plucked, strings are hit to create a sort of "DooM" sound)
(e.g: Stone Temple Pilots, The Vines, The White STripes, Local H, Foo Fighters, Nirvana)


those are the genres of rock i listen to the most.

~"This Ain't a Surfin' Movie" - Minus the Bear

I like all the music out there in the world, no matter what it is.  Its all good.

rock.

metal/hardcore punk... metallica, ozzy, zakk wylde, sabbath, sick of it all, blood for blood, cradle of filth and more, but none of that gayass nu-metal

hard rock... ac/dc, zeppelin, aerosmith, etc.

classic rock- SKYNYRD, the who, the rolling stones, hendrix, cream, clapton, thin lizzy and a lot more than that.

Well, I'll just say Punk Rock. And I agree, "Rock" is VERY vague.

"Rock" is a very vague category, but basically I'm just a straight heavy metal dude.  At the moment, I'm in my Metallica phase.

I clicked on rock, but I listen to a lot of stuff, and I can never really tell what category it goes into. Does anyone else like swing music, like Brian Setzer Orchestra? I know R51 does.

I had an old signature. Now I've changed it.

Rock is the way to go. I basically like hard rock but I like all rock.

Pretty much same here, so long as it has some meaning.
Favourite is rock, though.

Swing music is so fun to dance to... even if you suck at it (yes, i am talking about myself ) Swing is really good-mood, happy music. Brian Setzer Orchastra is good, but my favorite swing band is the Big Bad Voodoo Daddies. the Cherry Poppin Daddies are righteous too.


just because i'm a modern rock phr33k doesn't mean i don't enjoy other forms of music as well

Blues and rock really rocks...

But in the sancutary of my own room (which is painted orange might I add) I listen to...Classical...

No really.  You want proof?  Go king.org, that's the station on my radio.

Nuthin' like painting your room orange while listenin' to a opera in Italian.

So if you're done reading this, you know I have nothing to say and you've wasted your time. Thank you come again.

I listen to Radio 3 (classical station) when I am not making blues compilations off radio 2.

I myself am not biased when it comes to music. I'm not fond of boy bands however.

Techno. Definitely techno. I love that kinda music, and it goes weel with video games, which are part of my life. Right now I'm listening to E-Type.

And all of you? What do you like to listen to?

--------------------

Wow. 1,000 posts.

I miss you all now that I'm in boarding school! ;_;

Voted other. I like things ranging from Frank Sintatra to Slayer.

Metal/Hardcore, with a dash of classic rock.

You forgot the Blues!!!

Anyway, my favorite kind of music is Rock & Roll, but I love the Blues and a little classical too. Check out my profile.

--------------------

Get me off this Disciplinary Committee so I can play any FF except for FF8!!!

above all, i worship blues. just about everything i listen to is based on it, and i bow down to it.

im big on a lot of metal, which is blatantly blues-based, if you listen to the roots of it, like sabbath and zeppelin. of course i love classic rock like the beatles and the rolling stones and the who and bob dylan, cuz thats the first music i ever heard, i get a rap from a lot of middle aged people about how its their music, but its the first music i ever heard, so its mine as well.

like every serious musician, i respect nothing more than a jazz musician. they can do anything and more, they are the epitome of musical talent as far as im concerned.

and you just cant mess with elton john, no matter what kinda musician you wanna classify him as. black or white, gay or straight, no matter how you want to look at a man, he has something for everyone.


i play in kind of a blues metal band with a touch of funk to some of our songs (if youd like to hear some, ill try to get some recordings together, all instrumental though, we have trouble holding onto singers)

I voted other. I like punkish/rockish music, with some occasional rap mixed in.

I like Christian Rock first, Irish second.

I'd love to hear your music, if you can in some way get it recorded. I recomend Acid Pro, a relatively cheap computer program that lets you mix and record songs directly from your mic/guitar to your computer. That's how I record all of my music, because I like to record little bits at random and it's hella convenient. I don't have any work with other members, though; I find that things go better if I do it all myself, so it's all overdubbed me. If you want to hear some, pm me.

More on topic, however, I wouldn't think I can vote anything but other. My music varies so much, because I can appreciate any music that is good, from classic rock to indie rock to hard rock. I'll vote in the rock and roll category, though, because I tend not to like any other genre (save funk and blues, which are a variation of rock and the root of rock, respectively) .

I'd vote classical if it were on there, which is why I voted other.

I say this every time, but since my advice isn't heeded, maybe i'll just stop saying it.... "Rock" is such a vague expression. There are too many types of rock nowadays. Hard Rock, Alternative Rock, Modern Rock, Vintage Rock, Grunge Rock, Punk Rock (even with punk, you have so many derivatives), Contemporary... albeit I know there are only 10 choices, so....

Anyway, I'm a fan of all music (yes, all of it). If I were to define myself though, I'd say the many variants Rock. Nothing gets to me more then hearing a fine guitar riff melded with a stellar bassline over a killer drum rhythm. My favorite styles of rock are Hard Rock... Grunge... and modern alternative.
As a musician myself, I completely agree with randyrhoads on the appreciation of jazz. Jazz musicians were and are the hardest working, most talented musicians in the business.
I'm the drummer for the school jazz band (though I don't think I would categorize myself as hard-working >_>). Jazz is a really fun style to play. A little less than a year ago, I was also the bassist/vocalist for a rock, mostly-cover band (we wrote some stuff at least).
but anyway...
