okay seriously, i dunno if many of you have heard of Parkway Drive, but they are like my favourite band at the moment. They're gonna be playing a few hours south of me March 1 so i might go see em perform live. it would kick so much ass.

go to youtube and search for Parkway Drive. my personal favourites are Smoke 'Em If You Got 'Em, Horizons, Five Months, Boneyards, Romance Is Dead, and Gimmie A D

Only rock, classic rock

[mameluk]

classical, metal, new metal, rock, little bit pop and then world, spirit..

[GRH]

I voted for the "Rock" category, though I was torn, because in fact I DO like a LOT of classical music, a LOT of film scores, and a wee bit of hip-hop.

Taking out of the equation my love for Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, etc. and my rather massive collection of film scores, I opted for rock because of some of the following favorite bands:

Radiohead
Nine Inch Nails
Led Zeppelin
Smashing Pumpkins
Jefferson Airplane
The Beatles
Tool
A Perfect Circle
The Doors
Nirvana
No Doubt

Country.... Duh

electronic dance music wasn't even represented in this poll, booooooo!

[ziggybabie]

OK...long one.

The first album I bought was Danzig's self titled debut album. And it's funny. I had never been that into music, and didn't think much of the album. The more I heard it, though, it grew on me.

I always liked horror and monsters and shit since I was little anyway, and darker themed things, I guess. This guy sung loud metal lyrics about demons and stuff, but he has the soulful voice of Elvis Presley. The lineup for the band's first album was great. Every member.

Then, after a bit of metal, I got into Marilyn Manson. Despite the shock rocker image, he was very wellspoken in interviews, such as saying "I'm not against God, but the misuse of God.", but I loved his almost gender queer look and horror/satanic rock look, too. I loved some of the lyrics.

Then I started listening to more White Zombie (who I thought was one of the first "metal" bands I listened to that you might expect to dance to or hear in a strip club. not to mention the sci-fi influences), NIN, Ministry, Pigface, etc. Then traditional "goth" like Bauhaus, and Siouxsie and the Banshees and downloading goth club playlists by diff DJs, ranging from Depeche Mode to Apoptygma Berzerk and Falco's "Rock Me Amadeus". I kinda felt a lot of the "goth" music and demographic fit my philosophies. Sexuality, embracing the different/weird, etc.

I also like the classics like Skynyrd, Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Guns N Roses, etc etc.

I started listening to more rap eventually, after Kid Rock came out helping push the rap-rock craze in the 90s. I had never gotten into rap, because I could never identify with being "black in the ghetto". Then, this white guy comes out, in a trailer park, with strippers, dirtbikes, midgets and music like a harder edged metallic Beastie Boys, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics like "I got love for my honkeys". lol. I was all into the rap-rock thing. I grew to hate Bizkit, but Kid Rock's still a guilty pleasure.

I started listening to more rap, and giving it a chance, but I was still pickier about rap. I liked some old stuff like LL Cool J and stuff that had a metal/rock aesthetic like Esham, who was influenced by Black Sabbath. You can tell by some of his albums.

Country. I used to hate all of it, but the more I gave Johnny Cash a chance and the older stuff, it grew on me. Then I found out about Hank 3. Raised on punk/metal and old country, an atheist/LaVey Satanist singing "I'm here to put the dick in dixie and the cunt back in country, cuz the kind of country I'm hearing nowadays is a bunch of fucking shit to me.".......lol. The guitar is a lot faster paced at times than I hear from most mainstream Nashville artists and the music just seems to be different...better.

Aaaanyways, yeah, I expand my horizons occasionally, but i kinda look for artists who have "rock" attitude even when i research new genres, many times. And yes, I know this was a long post. lol

[chrisraid3]

heavy metal!! KSE rocks!!!

[triplej]

I didn't know whether or not I should click "rock" or not. I listen to primarily heavy metal, the extreme stuff. Death metal, black metal, grindcore, goregrind, thrash, crossover, etc.

Everything louder than everything else!

BlueRaven, I noticed that Parkway Drive is going to be in my town with a band called Darkest Hour (they kick much ass). Anyway, I remembered that you had highly recommended them so I downloaded the Horizons album. They fuckin rock! I look forward to seeing them now when they come to town. PD kind of reminds me a little of Kataklysm thrown in with a little All That Remains.

When the Beatles came on the scene I was ten but more importantly my sister was thirteen. I would say the next seven years was the most important ride musically in like...forever.
The first time I saw a guy with a beatle haircut standing on the corner in my neighborhood - the world spun around.
