Favorite genre of music?

[Yoshimo]

Just asking. My favorites are rock, techno, breakbeat, and alternative. Country a close one, though.

[SlappyMcGee]

I chose Rock, Metal, Alternative, and Other, for lack of a better choice, for Punk. But there are so many genres missing here that I think this could have stood to not be a poll.

[noops]

I agree, Slaps.
Rock, alternative, other, Instrumental.

[origami_alligator]

I chose other because I deleted all the genres on my computer. They weren't descriptive enough.

[Borealis]

Oh, this old thing.

Where's the funk? Where's the jazz? Where's the hardcore?

[Pixon]

Metal and Rock are the only genres that I listen to.

[Donfuy]

Alternative. Many genres fit on this one.

[deltainferno]

i chose rock, metal, alternative and other. the 'other' is indy rock, (im british) which i cant beleive you forgot about.

haha indie is such a stupid term. it can mean whatever the hell anyone wants it to mean, and it sounds cool, so heaps of bands and.. promotion people.. use it all the time, i remember about 6 months ago, some band that had had at least two singles reach the top 10 in aus in recent times was called indie in a TV ad. heh.

exactly, i technically class indy rock as soft rock, because it basically is rock, just not as hardcore, and the words tend to be more of the music than the instrumental sounds.

[SlappyMcGee]

Indie is a silly term that has come to represent a genre. Sure, lots of rock musicians produce music on independant labels, but only those with a certain sound are considered "indie rock". So, I definitely consider it it's own genre.

[Losttortuga]

Hmm, you're missing a couple hundred genres or so.

Also, it irks me when people use "techno" as an umbrella term.

[//Zander]

now you are missing "drum n bass"...

and losttortuga, I know 'techno' is an umbrella term. but think of it as either have:
dance, house, electro, hard house, trance etc
or tecnho...

... in general i like techno.
I also picked other, hip hop, instramental.

EDIT: I can submit votes again for some reason...
EDIT AGAIN: actually it just appears that way, but it doesn't change the votes

[Myrrhman]

"alternative": 9o's :: "indie" : 0o's

[MattKestrel]

Ugh, practically anything. A brief spectrum of the albums I own.

> Radiohead: Best Of
> KT Tunstall: Eye Of The Telescope
> A bunch of my dad's old CDs, ripped Freebird, Ace Of Spades, 20th Century Boy amongst others.
> Fratellis, got for my birthday ages ago
> Muse: Everything they own.

[Erik-Player]

I mostly enjoy Christian alternative music. Pillar, TFK, and Skillet are examples of what I listen to.

[Tanner]

I only listen to 90s Christian Rock: DC Talk, Newsboys and Jars of Clay.

SlappyMcGee EDIT: Creed have been active since 1995. Don't make this mistake next time.

[Studebacher Hoch]

I listen exclusively too electroindie, alt-rock, flute-based Jazz-reconstructionist, and, of course, the hardest of Metals.

[T3chno]

Techno is indeed great.

[Lenny]

I'm choosing not to vote, but instead I'll state that the genres I least like listening to are heavy metal, hardcore rock, and really depressing stuff. I'm a fan of just about everything else, though Pop can sometimes be a drag.

[乳头的早餐谷物]

I voted for breakbeat, alternative, classic, and instramental, because they are all stupid genres to have on a poll.

[George]

Rock, Metal, Classical, and Instrumental. Pretty much anything is alright. And I can't believe Pop wasn't included.

[KinGAleX]

I chose Other because I listen to progressive rock music a lot.

[Lenny]

I voted for breakbeat, alternative, classic, and instramental, because they are all stupid genres to have on a poll.

What? Classical is a perfectly reasonable option to have.

Provided, of course, that people are specifically noting classical music as about the 1700s, and post-classical which is modern music in a classical style; if so we'll be fine.

Hm. I didn't even consider that it might mean 'classical'—I was thinking classic rock or something.
