What genre of music do you like?

Tuesday, August 5, 2003 by joetheblow | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk


Am I the only one who likes Blue Grass???

I love it!! (Even though I don't know any individual musicians)

What I really like is this MusicMatch features that allow me to find new types of music. Never thought I would be listening to classical more than a few times a month. Now I listen to it.. a few times a week

#7 Jafo 'Country' isn't music...It's a place.

Tell that to Keith Urban! (An Aussie that came to the U.S. to sing 'Country' and has done pretty well, too.)

Sorry, Jafo. Lousy grammar.

As far as what I like: Heavy Metal. Staind, Disturbed, Newer Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Godsmack, rage against the machine, Train, Trapt, System of a Down, ect.

I ABSOLUTELY HATE rap. Can not stand any of it with the exception of Tupac. Anybody can take a nusrey ryhme, through a couple slang words and some cuss words in the mix and rap it out to a keyboard made beat.

IT TAKSE TALENT TO PLAY INSTRUMENTS AND SING!

I also have a very healthy dislike for R&B, Hip Hop, and COUNTRY. CAN NOT STAND COUNTRY! Country is not allowed in any of my cd players. Friends used to bring over stuff like garth brooks until I destoyed a couple of those cds becase I do not allow country on my home or car stereos.

And I absolutly hate boy and girl bands like backstreet and such....

Doreen explained her musical taste to me once. According to her there are two types of music:

1. hard base = what the rest of the world call Hiphop
2. soft = everything else

craeonics gets kicked by Doreen ~ hard

craeonics prefers black metal, certain types of house (acid, oldskool gabber) and ofcourse, reggae

Hardcore punk, classical music and groove grass.

Nah. I lied. However GrooveGrass 101 is a great blue grass band which has an "unnamed" space bass player from time to time as a guest.

Jazz, Jazz-rock, Fushion, Funk, Rap and P-Funk are my favorites.

However, I have lots of other music too from the Catamara Contemporary Chamber Orchestra to Frank Zappa to Matthijs Vermeulen.

There is even a Matthijs Vermeulen Path in Amsterdam and I like to think it was named after me. A boulevard would be even better of course.

There isn't a particular "genre" that I listen to.  i don't think that
there is any genre of music that I can't find something in that I like. 
However, Classical and Country are probably on the low end of what I will listen
to.  It all depend on what mood I am in and what I am doing.  When I
am in "photography mode" I listen to calmer stuff.  When i am doing stained
glass, I like more up beat songs.  Don't really care what it's classified
as as long as it's good.

You obviously have not listened to much hard rock, "ChrystalMeth"  
(There is also Christian Hard Rock bands, so how do you categorize them?)

yeah just throw them all into two catagories like me (makes it much easier)

1. The "Hard" stuff

2. The "Soft" stuff

hehe
Doreen kicks that dutchy! (softly)

TasT appreciates all music that is well played.

With the exception of New Rap and hiphop, the stuff from the late 80's and early 90's was for the most part excellent...

Kona, you say all rappers are talentless? Let's see you freestyle. Let's see a rocker try make a beat that you can bob your head too. It's not that easy. It's not made on a keyboard, go ask The Neptunes if it's made on keyboards. It takes talent to be able to rhyme line after line off the top of your head. It takes talent to write 50-line songs where the entire thing rhymes while making sense. The majority of respected rappers write their own lyrics...and to call them nursery rhymes is just plain ignorant.

You named Tupac as 'ok' in your books? What makes him so different? Is it because he's dead? People tend to respect things more once they are gone, if Biggie and Tupac were stil alive, they wouldn't be nearly as respected as they are now. They would just be Biggie and Pac. Just 2 more world-famous platinum-selling rappers. No different from 50-cent or Eminem or any other top rapper. If you don't like something, you don't have to say it's talentless...I could easily say it's talentless to bang your guitar-pic up and down over and over just making a lot of noise. I don't though. Why? Because everyone has their own tastes, you probably think it's very hard to be a rock star, well ask any rap fan and you obviosly get the other end of the argument. All I'm trying to say is try be less ignorant and more understanding of other people's choices. Just cause you don't like rap, doesn't make it talentless nursery rhymes.

Mainly because he rapped about the real problems facing everyone and didn't call people bit**es every other sentence.

No need to flame me, it was only a opinion.
RAP and COUNTRY have no place in my house or my car... IN MY OPINION they both suck as well as hip hop.
