Favorite kind of music?

Whats your favorite kind of music?
What are your favorite bands/artists?
Mine is rap
and some of my fav rappers are Wu-tang clan and Tupac

well, i'm almost certain no one here will know what i'm talking about but wahtever you asked what music i like so i put other.

i'm a weird guy i guess i look normal, and in many ways i am, i love hip hop (not mainstream at all) and classic rock but i also like other stuff that's considered weird like "abstract" hip hop and weird electronic music that is nothing but sounds.. look up boards of canada, they are a great band and a legend in this underground.. their sounds put you in a different state of mind, it's great

so yeah i'm probably really weird to everyone right now. but anyway great undiscovered music lies in many places (check out "anticon" or "boards of canada" if your curious!).. i really don't like the thought of mtv judging everything we should listen to. i don't like pop music and many aspects of pop culture but what can i do.

[Ogryn1313]

Faith No More is my favorite band. Sadly not together anymore.
Big into rock and heavy metal. The old stuff you know? Ozzy, ACDC, Pantera, etc. As far as I am concerned proper metal died when "alternative" became the mainstream.
I like Rammstein. My Myspace profile has a good playlist with samples of a wide variety of music generes, including classical that I like.

[mykel73]

Theres not much that I won't listen to. Right now I'm on a Fado kick I love Mariza. Her voice is amazing.

[BrandonCGS]

Love rock, and like some rap..

i like anywhere from death metal to hardcore underground rap i don mess with listening to all these lil mainstream bitches crying about how much money that have i always think that if people are going to rap that they should have a message instead of talking about money and sex

[Aero]

i'm into the whole rap/hip hop phase, but i also like others. especially some of the oldies. can't go wrong with the oldies, they're classics!

[kijm60]

I'm willing to listen to anything at least once, and even after that I'm very open-minded when it comes to music... it's all very dependent on what I happen to be doing at that time or what mood I'm in.

I like alternative metal a lot (I love Breaking Benjamin - saw 'em in Tacoma 2/20/07!). I'm into Wolfmother, Evanescence, AC/DC, Moby, Tool...the list goes on.

[Mad_Bad!!]

Music has a huge part in my life. Besides from playing the bass guitar, I always have it on.

I voted rock, but what I love the most is metal.
Especially prog (Dream Theater, which I saw live 2 times, and Symphony X), power (Blind Guardian, Kamelot, DragonForce, Sonata Arctica... and many more), thrash (Metallica, Anthrax, Pantera) and some death metal (but mostly melodeath like In Flames, Dark Tranquillity and Into Eternity or prog/tech like Cynic, Atheist and Death), and classic heavy metal (Iron Maiden is one of my fave bands and I'll see them in june for the first time, can't wait).
I also like hard rock (Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, Kiss, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Extreme), prog rock (mostly Pink Floyd, Porcupine Tree and Trans-Siberian Orchestra) some hair metal/glam rock, and some "alternative" stuff (Faith No More, Muse, RATM, Tool). I also love Queen, which I always find hard to classifcate.
I don't like nu metal except for Mudvayne and System of a Down and really can't get into the new metalcore scene (luckily I guess).
I totally hate pop, rap and electronic/dance music

I wouldn't really call Breaking Benjamin alternative metal. It's more indie rock than anything. Alternative metal would be bands like System of a Down, Soil, Disturbed etc.
--------------------------

I know I have already posted a response or 2 in this thread, but I feel I should update my list of bands (well technically I should ADD a list of bands), but here goes (in alphabetical order)

Bleeding Through
Breaking Benjamin
Combichrist
Disturbed
Doomsday Refreshment Committee
Evanescence
Flyleaf
Hatebreed
Ill Nino
Lamb of God
Mudvayne
Nickelback
Parkway Drive
Seether
Soil
Soilwork
Staind
Static-X
System of a Down
The Butterfly Effect
Three Days Grace

Wouldn't be surprised if you guys haven't heard of half of the bands I listed. None of them are on the radio here in Australia, and none are on the supposed 'Top 40' or whatever crap they're trying to pull these days with music listings. I absolutely HATE Rap, Hip Hop, R'n'B and Pop. I don't mind JPop sometimes, but even then it gets irritating after a while.

[Mad_Bad!!]

You listen to a lot of nu metal... that really isn't my thing apart from Mudvayne and SOAD. By the way, I think most of these bands you listed are very mainstream. There are only 3 bands I never heard of (Combichrist, The Butterfly Effect, Doomsday Refreshment Committee), but I think the other ones are pretty famous.

By the way, in my previous post I forgot Protest the Hero (an amazing mathcore band, the perfect blend of heaviness, catchyness, technicality and melody) and Elio e le Storie Tese, an Italian progressive rock band with awesome musicians and demential (but often deep in a weird way) lyrics.

[BlueRaven88]

Mad_Bad apart from people like you and me who actually like and listen to metal bands, not many people have heard of bands like Lamb of God, Parkway Drive, Bleeding Through, Flyleaf, Ill Nino and Soil.

Combichrist and Doomsday Refreshment Committee are underground industrial bands (industrial is a kind of heavy gothic techno) and are pretty unknown. I never knew of them until I was on Vampirefreaks.com, and even now that is the only site that has them on there (they might have myspace pages i'm not sure).

The Butterfly Effect are an Australian based indie rock band that started up right here in Brisbane (where I live). Not many people have heard of them, especially people in America. If you want to hear some of their music you can check out a few of their songs on youtube, or you can check their site to hear previews of their songs at thebutterflyeffect.com.au

And I wouldn't go around telling people that their bands are mainstream when you listen to garbage like Dragon Force. All of their songs are produced electronically the only guy who can actually play an instrument in that band is the asian guitarist

[Mad_Bad!!]

Since when imainstream is an insult?????
I didn't insult your music, so why the hell do you have to insult mine?????

And also, what you are saying shows little knowledge of the band. As I always say, "don't talk about things you don't know".

I don't know how it is in Australia but most of most of those bands you listed....are not only mainstream........ BUT did you know nickleback is played on every radio station in Canada with the exception of classical stations you can hear nickle back , System of a Down , 3 days grace , evanesence , seether on top ten along with britney spears.... lol

BTW I would rather listen to ACDC any day anywhere over anyone. Anyone who insults ACDC has no idea what they are talking about.
You really aren't a fan of music...you are just a fan of what YOU like. You don't think your fav bands would drop whatever they are doing to meet Angus Young or be at the fiming of mettalicas ONE ....lol you know your bands would drop their panties to be at the recoding for Thunderkiss 65 or even thunderstruck lol! You were born in 1988 for christs sake do you even know what huge albums were out in 88?

Ok I got something for you if you like listening to what is new The absolute biggest and one of the best radio stations in the world...period.
They have a live feed
EDGE DOT CA

If you are a TRUE fan of the history of music.....you will click > SHOWS > ON GOING HISTORY OF NEW MUSIC > PAST SHOWS

And this site has no live feed but if theres anyway to pick up their signal I highly recomend it
htzfm DOT COM

I don't know guys lol....people always claim to be fans of music but then I ask them who are the Shirelles are or what was that wicked music in the chopper scene in Predator....they have no clue !

I have seen tons of live concerts from mettalica to linkinpark to acdc and I saw KISS 5 times....while all those bands were wicked.....none of them even compared to Bob Seager.

Anyways guys no need to be rude to each other...there is so much awesome music out there for everyone....the day everyone opens their minds to see what others like and why they like it...that will be an awesome day.

You just have to find out what your favorite bands listen to....it's not always what you think it is lol...have an open mind.

Who the hell knew that some guy from Alexis on fire would have like one of the biggest albums in Canada now and be making people all over the country cry over some song about home lol! Not I lol.

[Mad_Bad!!]

Victoria you're canadian do you know Into Eternity and Protest the Hero?
They're two awesome bands from you country. Those are really underground bands. Here in Italy the situation is similar to Canada, with Nickelback, Evanescence and the likes getting overplayed on the radio stations.
Glad to know that you love AC/DC...

You really aren't a fan of music...you are just a fan of what YOU like. You don't think your fav bands would drop whatever they are doing to meet Angus Young or be at the fiming of mettalicas ONE ....lol you know your bands would drop their panties to be at the recoding for Thunderkiss 65 or even thunderstruck lol!

Sorry but I can't understand what you were saying here.

Sorry but I can't understand what you were saying here.

I'm just saying.....you(the fan) can't put other peoples music tastes down....when you don't even know what your favorite bands listen to. Those are all FAMOUS songs that I can promise any alternative band, metal, pop whatever band would love to have been part of that history.

Don't just think bands pop out of the ground....everyone has influences....and it's not always what you expect it to be. So going around saying you hate this and that....well surprise what if your favorite band says well my influence is Neil Diamond! lol....isn't that wicked that your favorite band is open minded....maybe you(the fan) should be too.....it's such a awesome experience to be open minded and explore.

Don't claim to be a fan of music if you are just a fan of what you like lol. Then just say I like metal...or whatever. I don't like when people say they are fans of music but then say they hate this and that.....it's a party pooper.

oh ya sorry don't know them yet ! lol I've been busy haven't been listening to whats going on and stuff.

[tangalanga]

I'like Rock'n roll. My favorite is AC/DC.

[redfish1]

Older rock and metal
Ac/dc
Iron Maiden
Rush
Floyd
Mega death
GNR
CCR
I must be getting older I don’t recognize a lot of the music some have been listing as rock and metal music

[giancarlo]

I love rock.

[Jennangelina]

i listen and luv all types of music as long as its awesum from classical to rap


XOXO Jennangelina

[Tiffanydoll]

and as usual metal gets left out.

I am a metalhead soon to be metal chick

[Htowner]

Most all music from classic rock to rap to country. Enjoy it all.

[vibesfan]

Jazz,especially vibraphone.

[Big_Willie]

I love all kinds of music. It doesn't matter if it's rap, pop, rock, classical, country or something else, if it's good, I'll listen to it.

But my top favourite it black music (you know, rap/hip-hop, blues, jazz, soul, R'nB...) and to pick one, I'll say Rap/Hip-Hop.

[tsfan666]

If I had to narrow it down, it would be metal, real metal, not like a7x or the devil wears prada, those guys can play, but that ain't real metal, check out evile, warbringer, enslaved, dark funeral, etc. Non mainstream, although some stuff on the radio is alright, dubstep, again done right, Fuck datsik btw, all he did was make popular the use of the "wobble effect, anything eighties/70, honestly dig everything as long as its good music

[flexy]

I love singer song writer stuff. Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Springsteen. All of it was before my time but that stuff is classic and will still be be reaching people decades from now.
