Whats Your Favorite Genre?

[Raider0614]

We have so many people here at FC that i was just curious about the community's favorite music tastes and bands and what the majority is here. Im siding with Metal on this. Favorite artists have to be Iron Maiden Ozzy and Megadeth

[Yehsus]

I can honestly listen to anything. I'm not at all musical, so I respect almost all artists and their talent. That said, I'm going to side with Alternative if I had to pick one.

Blink 182 >

[MedeDust]

It's a tough choice for me, my top are spanish romantic, old school hip-hop, and rock.

I'll give it to Rock though.

[Raider0614]

Coolma. Yea im starting to branch out to different genres but my roots are always in old school rock and metal. im starting to get into underground rap and some modern jazz. pretty sick stuff.
@Yehsus I like alternative
@Mede i didnt expect spanish romantic but then again i didnt know what to expect. im latino so i have to hear that stuff alot

[Blackhawk570]

Anything Cher

HAHA dude you don't have any idea how crazy I could go on this thread right now, but I'll make it easy on you guys. I will always give a song a chance, even if I hate the genre, but here is my requirements for a good song, and to be good they only have to meet one of these requirements:

1) Great to sing along to.
2) Good to listen to when sad, depressed, or in love (sometimes those emotions go hand in hand).
3) When I listen to them loud I can feel the adrenalin rush throughout my body, making me feel great, like I can do anything!

Here are the three songs I listen to most as of this week (it changes a lot . . .), these aren't in order from best to worst, I like them all equally.

These are just my favorite of the week, and I don't just listen to rock, but ROCK ON.

[RetRdidMunkie]

Metal, rap, and pretty much everythjng else.

[Puba]

anything 80s metal , pretty much anything if i like it :P

[ReiBear]

Currently I am big into Kpop lol

[Daaaah Whoosh]

Judging from my own personal experiences, I've found that our tastes in music often reflect our personalities. Unfortunately, I have many personalities, so my taste in music varies. Two genres that I like most often are modern versions of early 20th century music, so long as it doesn't get too repetitive, and simple emotive songs with little to no words and a strong baseline. Basically, Chicago and Halo OSTs.

[Spartanbh]

If anyone says Dubstep, I'm giving you a perma-ban.

60s-80s, early 90s, hard rock, Soft rock, old school rap, AC/DC, Queen, and all that jazz

[Blackhawk570]

Currently I am big into Kpop lol


Hell yeah

[Scarekro]

I'm a metalhead to the core. Favorite bands include Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, Protest the Hero, and Korn.

Second favorite is electronic, mainly house. Daft Punk be my favorite.

[VerbotenDonkey]

Metal/Screamcore/Progressive Metal.

Metallica, Between the Buried and Me are my top two. MayDay Parade sounds good.

As a guitarist, I like most music though. Obviously the Beatles, John Lennon is my all time hero. Ever. Josh Turner has the sexiest voice. Etc etc. I can enjoy most anything. Glenn Miller is my favorite old-time Big Band. I do enjoy my Big Bands.

And Spartan, you can perma me, but I do enjoy Dupstep from time to time. I'm particular to what I like, but there are some Dupstep tracks I enjoy. It's not the best music out there, but the beats are amazing.

[RENGADE 0F FUNK]

Classic Rock, Grunge, Alt Rock, Hardstyle

And of course Classical, Baroque, and Contemporary Symphonic.

Vivaldi, Shostakovitch, and Haydn are Gods.

[Ex Zen Mute]

Classical, Electric, Techno.

[Blackhawk570]

Punk, Post-Hardcore, Screamo, Classic Rock

[silversleek]

dubstep. come at me spartan.



nah, but i like almost any instrumentals, i just dislike the human voice. i mean, some songs with a voice are good, but overall i find them meh.

[Scarekro]

Screamo

Not to nitpick, but this is slang. Not a genre name.

[silversleek]

Not to nitpick, but *nitpicking*.

fixed

[Vestige]

Symphonic Metal, Nightwish, Sirenia, Leaves eyes, that kind of stuff.

[Zombii]

Ska!!!
2091

[Bodaciousbaconn]

Meh, Classic Rock, Old School rap, all that jazz.

Some artists would be Guns n' Roses, The Eagles, Hank Williams, Led Zeppelin, Older Maroon 5, etc.

And as a fairly new guitarist myself, if I hear a song somewhere that has some pretty solid Rhythm or Bass guitar and I like it, I'll make a mental note to go look up some tabs on it.

[Puba]

80s metal

[Jai 006]

The one where I don't adhere to pointless and apparently endless subgenres and simply enjoy any form of good music for what it is, good music.

BUT IF YOU MUST NITPICK ME SIR..! Metal, Alternative, Jazz, Blues, Just pure instrumental "Two steps from hell" type stuff, Not sure how to class that last one, a bit of R&B, country, anything really as long as it's BA and not some gay ass miley cyrus stuff. ( Was going to say shit, but said stuff, Sorry but despite a vast vocabulary, I am lazy and therefore I use profanity as a cheap and easy way to express myself. )

[Raider0614]

Yea dude, i understand. I'm listening to so much random music right now (mostly instrumentals like technical metal or jazzy beats)

[H2O Yordle]

[Raider0614]

^ i approve.

[H2O Yordle]

^ I was serious. I like stuff from the 70-80's and early 90's.
Metal, Rock that kinda stuff is what I mostly listen to now.

[Puba]

^^^^ I like this guy . But I don't just stick to one gender I listen to about everything except country (can't stand it ) but like jai 006 said if it BA then I listen to it
