metal, rock, classical, ethnic music (like Celtic, Eastern European, traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean), and Celtic fusion

metal, punk, SKA, rock, classical, hip-hop, R&B, rap, Celtic (instrumental), dance, techno. country occassionally.

Classic Rock all the way. ACDC is F awesome.

Barring rap, which just gives me an almost instantaneous headache no matter what the song, I'll give anything a go once. My favourite genres to listen to, though, have to be classical, symphonic metal (Nightwish and the like), jazz, celtic, and various instrumental soundtracks =)

I can rub along to most things i suppose

80s/90s rock/metal (NWOBHM, symphonic metal, thrash, prog metal, industrial and a little death/black metal).

Favourite stuff currently is probably Dream Theater, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry and Testament.

Basically everything 'cept heavy metal, country, Jazz and Emo.

The greater majority of my CD collection is movie soundtracks.

I voted Rock ..

Even though im more into punkISH rock .. like Green Day , Papa roach , something along those lines ..

I should have voted some more , but i dont concider it actualy LISTENING to them , when you only have 2 - 3 songs that you like from those catacories

if it is like that , i would have voted techno , rap and hip hop aswell..

I like every kind of music just not certain songs music is music and classifications of it just causes unwanted conflict. (sometimes)

Industrial and electronica. EBM, IDM, Coldwave, Aggro, Breakbeat, EDM, Jungle, D'n'B, Noise, Ambient, Electro and Pound. Also I like a dash of gothic-western as well. I download a session of Cyberage radio once or twice a week to listen to in my car.

What is this

Maybe I'm just old; but what is the difference between rap and hiphop?

As far as I know rap is lyrical and tells a story, while hip-hop is more dance and movement. Both are sub-generes of an urban culture.

i mainly listen to Metal... Dethklok mainly though. Lordi or Tenacious D might find there way in every so often too....

Rock, Metal, Jazz

Write ins: Blues, Bagpipes, Industrial, Frank Sinatra (yes he gets his own category)

Hates: Rap (god i hate rap), country, and anything that a teenager can make on his computer.

I'm a big Tom Waits fan, I dig his older stuff the most, the stuff he did back in the Asylum records days; also love the band "Morphine", those guys were great. Dig old punk stuff from the late 70s, or early 80s, Iggy and the Stooges, the Ramones, etc..plus early glam, Lou Reed, David Bowie.Also stuff from the 60s, Donovan, the Who, Stones,Dylan,Patto, the Castaways, the Animals, the Band. Anything that makes you feel groovy. Oh yeah!, and lets not forget the greatest performer ever.... (no, not Elvis, Cher or Barbara Striesand) I am speaking (of course) about Neil Diamond.

Even though i like every kind of music punk rock kind of pokes at my top list

My add in is World music. If you want to hear a great example look up "Opa Cupa" by Brass Menažeri.

There is a great underground movement of Oriental and Balkan/DJ music that has really caught my hear.

I may be wrong but maybe bands like "Fields of the Nephilim"?

Fixed it for you

Jerk, I actually like hip-hop, without it there would be no clubbin'.

And rap isn't so good - but I like Tupac.

Don't write things that I didn't say

Meh,I have mixed feeling concerning rap/hip hop..
I like some of the older stuff, KRS-ONE,Tupac and B.I.G, but most "recent " rap/hip hop bores the feth out of me..at it's best it's a watered down imitation of much better preformers and at it's worst it's a shopping list set to beats.

Rock and metal and a bit of other tad bits

Fav rock band is Mastodon..seems like no one knows them though.

One of their songs.

SPLIT YER LUNGS WIFF BLUD AND FUNDER!!!
Mastodon is ok, too much cookie monster for me, but i can enjoy them at a lot of times.

I actually like some rap. The 'anything but rap and country' kids are often a joke as they listen to a fair amount of metal, which is equally bad. And dont tell me 'but eidolon, metal uses the same structure as classical music, so its intellectual!!!'. Thats like saying the jonas brothers are as good as stevie ray vaughan or eric clapton, because their music follows a 12 bar system.

Go listen to wu tang clan, eazy e, tech n9ne, immortal technique, older three six mafia.

Metal and WH just... mix.

Several of the genres listed (metal being foremost among them), plus a few that weren't. Most are in between two genres I already picked, so I won't go into one of those 5 billion ultra-specific subgenre listings. For fun, I decided to randomize my library (I've ripped some of my CDs, so there are only about 50 or so albums missing.) and see what the first 10 things to come up would be. I got: Rancid, Sepultura, Madlib, Ministry, Radiohead, Combichrist, Jaco Pastorius, Korpiklaani, Dark Nebula, and Daath. Pretty varied spread that should give some indication of varied taste. I tend to go in waves, where some weeks are nothing but black metal, then I'll randomly end up on a 3 day happy hardcore/gabber/rave-y techno bender.

I do also have specific music for specific things. I've been that nerd playing power metal in the background of his D&D campaign, or playing Unreal Tournament to a playlist of good old fashioned fraggin' music (Powerman 5000, Fear Factory, Rob/White Zombie, and the like). Sometimes I have a COMPLETELY inexplicable urge to listen to LeFunkBoat (a random funk/techno/dance station I found online) while doing the dishes. I barely ever listen to funk. Go figure.

YEA! Wu Tang Clan is awesome! Did any one watch the music awards last night? It sucked. BIG TIME!

Whitney Houston.

"It's hard to choose a favorite among so many great tracks, but "The Greatest Love of All" is one of the best, most powerful songs ever written about self-preservation, dignity. Its universal message crosses all boundaries and instills one with the hope that it's not too late to better ourselves. Since, Elizabeth, it's impossible in this world we live in to empathize with others, we can always empathize with ourselves. It's an important message, crucial really. And it's beautifully stated on the album. "

I also enjoy Huey Louis...

i completely agree with ivantih. Shinedown own!

p.s: youtube 'em.

Shinedown is pretty good.

International...

Mainly music from Japan (most of it non anime related...) and german...

Def Tec and E Nomine being my favorite groups.
