I voted other for raggae, my second choice was folk rock(that wasn't on there either)

Full-on Metal of doom!

Thrash/death.

I also study music composition and therefore like everything except ragtime and completely balls stuff that shouldnt exist.

p.s. Church burning is great, but May fall under the category of not being polite, civil or respectful?

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.

Eidolon, metal does much more than just follow structures of classical music. But they're are an awful, awful lot of terrible metal bands out there. I really wouldn't advise things like Wu Tang Clan, but on an interesting note, check out this vid that features their singer, only they're ten gizzillion times better than them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MtKvVm-dJY

On the whole metal thing tho; the energies in metal are second to none when used as a device in performance practice within precision issues in instrumental virtuosity.

or..

Playing ANY other style of music is so much easier after youve learnt how to play metal, because of the mental approach taken on learning and playing. (Its all that happy aggression in conjunction with precission).

Heres an example:

I understand your point. But I have heard people use the 'metal is like classical' excuse to justify listening to such trash as dragonforce, devil wears prada, that kind of stuff.

Good music is good music, you can find it in any genre. And metal tends to be harder to play most rock and what not. However classical guitar is in my opinion king of guitar in terms of technical skill. And a lot of the virtuosity in metal simply revolves around playing fast. Which while difficult, I am not trying to knock someone who can play 13 notes a second or whatever, its musically boring when done all the time. Good musicians not only are technically skilled, but know when to employ those skills.

I apologize for the bad quality on those, they were filmed in 1984 on RCA handheld video.

Carl orff and Wagner FTW! BAM!

Ok, they're pretty mental video's! Never seen them.

I think we have found our common ground!

Also in that line of things, Paco de Lucia is a complete legend!

Yus. Andre Segovia is really good too. Best self taught guitarist of all time by far.

I listen to errything.

Streetlight Manifesto to Lily Allen to The Creepshow to Elton John to Iron Maiden to Rise Against to Megadeth to The Specials to Bruce Springsteen and back again, and beyond.

I'm an Industrial/EBM/Cybergoth DJ.... so in an effort to pick what's closest, I went with Techno, Metal, Emo and Trance, though none of those really cover it, haha!

Has any one heard Big Dumb Face? their awesome

Rap HipHop and Funk is what i listen to and paint to

Del da funky homosapien

Everything on the lsit apart from Emo and House/Trance

Black metal, Viking metal and some classical

rock, hard rock, heavy rock, classical rock, metal, heavy metal, a LITTLE classical, bagpipes , and would evanessance be considered emo???

Metal would be winning. I know that me and all my boys LOVE Metal. It gets the blood pumping and the energy going in order to kick some serious a** in a battle

I like dusty dessert music, not so much like country but a good acoustic sound and maybe some drums.

Rap, Hip-hop, Classic Rock and Metal. Great genres.

Metal - Amon Amarth, 5 finger death punch, Hatebreed - that kinda good stuff

The first actual record I bought was U2, I think it was Joshua Tree. I still love em today

Same exact album was also my first. Their old stuff is really good music.

i just dont get why plain old punk isn't in there.... that seems like an important one to me at least.

I listen to just about everything, except country, cant stand that trash

If it moves, I like it.

metal all the way , for now it's Equilibrium , my kids ( 3 and 5 years old ) love Alestorm and nightwish , but i prefer the black , trash all that stuff
and when i paint i put on the hardest metal i have , keeps me calm...

I like stuff that tells a story, for the most part. So, Dylan, Springsteen, early Tori Amos, Woody Guthrie, Queensryche (Operation: Mindcrime 4tw) and the musical version of War of the Worlds all get some play.

Rock and metal when I need to get stuff done or just plain ol' vent.

I'll give most stuff a whirl - but will avoid anything favoured by neanderthals wearing Burberry.

nu metal, and death metal it calms my anger

Christian rock and metal all the way

see the thing about death/black metal or christian metal is they both seem to be at odds with each other.
in the words of my favorite christian metal band, devil wears prada - "Look to the sky. Encourage the elements of God, Rather than the jars that contain them."
and then in the words of my favorite death metal band, bring me the horizon - look up to the sky, there may be nothing there to see. But if I don't believe in him, why would he believe in me?
and finally, i leave you with this, NO band, no matter how distasteful or ethically incorrect you think they are, can beat ( in terms of jesus thats gotta be blasphemy) Gorgoroth. their music vid. for carving the giant, is sick, twisted and pretty scary. I wouldnt watch it.
anything less than gorgoroth isnt worth complaining about.

to conclude, my fav. music is scream core, orheavy metal/industiral.

NOT gorgoroth.......poor sheep..... >.>

rap metal hardcore/harstyle and a bit of pop techno house

Metal, rock, classic, also add Punk and Reggie!
