What kind of music do most of you prefer?

[silversurfer]

I listen to some hard core, alternative, punk, rock and R&B. What about you?

[Martin]

Cheesy pop music all the way. I like songs with a catchy tune and lyrics i can sing along to. :D

[Behling]

Mostly Alternative like Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the disco and paramore. I also lke some electronic/dance like the medic droid.

[SpikySpice]

Me too, I prefer pop, dance, I prefer hard beats, crazy beats =]

Also alternative, rock, some metal

I like to sing along with teh songs, like Britney hahaXD

[Ilayis]

heavy metal, 90's rock and pop and techno

[Alex89]

Mostly R&B and hip hop for me. Also a bit of pop and rock, and techno thrown in for good measure. =)

I also have a strange addiction to movie and game soundtracks...not the licensed sort, but the original orchestral sort. I <3 Halo and LOTR soundtracks...

[Barkmarket]

I like a wide spectrum of music. Genres of particular recent interest include P-funk, new wave, and psychedelic rock.

[EthanS]

Mostly Alternative like Fall Out Boy, Panic! at the disco and paramore. I also lke some electronic/dance like the medic droid.

[MonsieurGodiva]

I like everything, really. It's hard to think of something that I don't like off the top of my head...

[hawkeye685]

I like 2 listen to rock/pop music bands like Foo Fighters and Razorlight. Also i like artists such as James blunt and The Killers.

[Face Smasher]

Death metal's my music. I like all types though. My favorite bands are Cannibal Corpse, Death, Atheist, Cynic, Korn, Shinedown, and Slayer.

[sexyalex]

[Gamer am I]

I used to like rap a lot, but my friends converted me to rock and roll, and I'm not looking back. As for sub-genres, I like some metal, some alternative, and a bunch of other stuff. The only sub-genre of rock that I really don't like is southern rock.

[No day butoday]

I like techno, rock, and pop, but my favorite band is ska, called The Incredible Heat Machine. They're local to Lincoln NE but you should listen to their myspace songs! They're really fun. Myspace.com/tihmne

[CrimsonThunder]

A whole bunch, metal, glam rock/hair metal, 80s pop/rock/dance, electronic (really into Daft Punk), speed metal, thrash metal, power metal, punk, punk rock, rock, hard rock, dance. I think I covered it all.

[silversurfer]

Wow I didn't know so many people liked punk, metal and rock. Does anybody like Tool. I like ska as well and Johnny Cash.

[Choucho]

Pop mostly, and dance (very little techno though, I prefer stuff with lyrics). I like Sarah McLachlan, Jann Arden, Amanda Marshall etc, but I guess they're classed as pop. However, most of the Pop I listen to is Japanese or Korean, and a little bit of Mandarin, and a little bit of Turkish. I have I think... one Swedish song, but just because I haven't really found any others. Pop dominates my mp3 player. And a very small bit of stuff that's more rock-ish for when I'm in emo mode. >.>

[CrimsonThunder]

Alot of techno has lyrics. :P

[Negasta]

A lot of people here already know this, but the band I listen to most is...

...RAMMSTEIN

And this is the video of one of my favorite songs of their's, Mann Gegen Mann, with English subtitles.

l0sfLHJZZIo

The song doesn't sound nearly as good as it should, because the bass is always really crappy in Youtube videos.

[neverover]

everything, from britney to nirvana, i like them all. but currently on the top of my list:
-arctic monkey
-britney
-corrine bailey rae
-xtina aguilera
-madonna
-jt
-shirley bassey
-garbage
-nirvana
-iron butterfly
but the list goes on.....

[Defender]

I like a whole bunch of stuff. The most important thing to me is the sound.

[Rette]

The quick answer: Indie music (except, that doesn't really explain it)

The long answer: Alt-rock, post-punk, dance-punk, twee, folk (traditional folk and some experimental), down-tempo electronica, pop, post-rock, whatever the hell Sufjan Stevens is...

Hmm...that sounds a lot more pretentious than I first realized.

[Javi]

i listen 2 anything i can dance 2

mostly reggaeton ,techno n other spanish musiic


(!)

[sexyalex]

tell me about it, i have cheerfever. i am always making up new dance routins so anthing "danceable" is good for me. pop, dance, reggae and dancehall genre....that's what's baggin for me.:eusa_danc

[Paul_UK]

I like quite a wide range of stuff. My normal answer is "anything from The Carpenters to Meat Loaf" which covers most of the range. It is mostly stuff up to the 80s, a lot of newer stuff doesn't interest me so much. It is also more pop than rock, including quite a lot of cheesy pop.

Naming some artists as random examples:

S Club 7
Steps
Abba
A*Teens
Carpenters
Elton John
Meat Loaf
Blondie
Bonnie Tyler
Gilbert and Sullivan
Tom Robinson
Pet Shop Boys
Take That
Beautiful South
Joshua Kadison
Kirsty MacColl
Kylie
Seekers
Simon and Garfunkek
Robbie Williams
Sparks

[silversurfer]

Pete Wentz is so effen hot.

[Kenko]

I'll listen to almost anything, and I have favorites from many genres, though I probably prefer Dance / Eurodance / electronic/trance/techno type music.

[Face Smasher]

Electronica rules. You should check out the song Dreams of an Absolution

[SRSLYMARK]

I had a list of specific artists for a while that numbered around 200. But, to condense it down into genres, I would say mostly indie rock, indie pop, and 90's rock. I'll listen to anything with a decent beat, though.

[Midnight Angel]

Hard/80's rock is what I like best

[Ty]

every few weeks i change my primary tastes, for example, a long period of time last year i liked death metal alot then i went to j-pop then j-rock then chinese pop then just regular pop then rock then indie then techno and atm im on a kind of mix of all of the above haha!

[sexyalex]

nothing beats pop ! :O pop music shall take over the world! muhohahahaha :evil:

[Steam Giant]

Primarily, industrial metal, industrial rock, industrial techno, thrash metal, sweedish death metal, SOME black metal, some grunge, some techno, and a ton of random J-Pop/J-Rock. As far as specific bands? In no particular order:

Hip Tanaka? lol okay now I'm really reaching. Well, that was a pretty funny order. I guarantee you, that's the only time you're ever going to see Emperor and Do As Infinity listed next to each other! Hahaha!

Oh, bonus points for those who can identify who Hip Tanaka is without searching for him! Hehe!

[Paul_UK]

I think I lose points as the only ones in your list I have even vaguely heard of are Prodigy and Nirvana, and I wouldn't know any of their songs...

[Gustav]

Ska, punk, some rock (depends) , and classical- not Mozart and composers like that, but orchestra string tributes to contemporary bands.

[Étoile]

I like all types of music. Hip-Hop, R&B, pop, smooth jazz, some rap, some rock, a tiny bit of techno, the list goes on.

[lostinthought9]

I heart music, lol, i have a very wide range of music, i mostly listen to rock or metal or bands such as: Green Day, Disturbed, Kid Rock, Poison, Guns n' Roses, Metallica, any hard rock song of the 80s, and i also listen to some pop too lol:icon_redf , but not in front of anyone lol, idk, i cant really narrow down the favorites, if ya want specifics, just ask...

[Chaos]

Rock, metal, punk and some dance, r&b and hip hop. I like my loud stuff. Music shouldn't be played at all unless you can freaking blast it man...

[Latinokid]

I listen to alot of Alternative/Rock ..Paramore,Evanescence. Breaking Benjamin, Mindless Self Indulgence, Panic! AT the Disco, No Doubt...just you know hot music lol i listen to pop too and R&B

[CrimsonThunder]

[kcl91]

[Kenko]

My favorite is:

Soaring high in the sky,
He may be small but only in size.
AstroBoy, AstroBoy,
He is brave and gentle and wise!

Stronger Than all the rest,
this mighty robot will pass the test,
Oh villans fear him, so we cheer him,
The amazing AstroBoy!

When you need someone strong,
Our robot friend will never be long.
AstroBoy, AstroBoy,
He will try to right any wrong!

When there's danger near by,
No matter who, what, where, when or why.
He'll defend us, he'll defend us,
The amazing AstroBoy!

[Aphelion]

I like gothic and doom metal with female vocals, bands: Tristania or the early works of Theatre Of Tragedy -both norwegian-. Their music is just beautiful, it has the power of metal, the beauty of classic music and the passion of opera.
Another band I like a lot is Nightwish, power symphonic metal with emotional lyrics and a perfect singer... you should give them a try, really ;)

[sexyalex]

Ska, punk, some rock (depends) , and classical- not Mozart and composers like that, but orchestra string tributes to contemporary bands.

i would definetly agree to that. i like singers who are rather versitle in music and don't narrow themselves to one genre. like

Madonna with "argentina"

Beyonce "a woman like me"

Christina Augilera "Hurt"

Jessica Simpson "Underneath"(people say i sound like her when i am singing which is very disterbing >.<)

or even um........Britney Spears "Touch of my Hand"(*hug*)

Sick Puppies- ALL OF IT!!!
Paramore- Misery Business
Panic! At The Disco- Time to Dance

[blackpoe66]

hmmm......let's see, i like techno, rock, classical, goth rock (or whatever Evanescence is), and basically everything that sounds good to me.

I also have a strange addiction to movie and game soundtracks...not the licensed sort, but the original orchestral sort. I <3 Halo and LOTR soundtracks...

OMG this so totally fits me!!! I am obsessed with the LotR and CoN soundtracks. Speaking of which, does any1 know what the instrument that Mr. Tumnus played for Lucy is called?

[Crazyfoo]

Probably anything. Rock, Rap, Hip-Hop, R&B, Punk, Country.

Only ones I probably don't like are techno, and heavy metal. Other than that, I'm good.

[Face Smasher]

I like electronica and metal the most. Game music is awesome too. Sonic FTW

[sexyalex]

i definetly love modern classical music. and chris i am shocked u don't have Pink on ur list! she should have topped the punk list lol. and wow, i never knew rihanna would have ever gotten so popular. humm, i should call her now.

[Jeimuzu]

Nx7WcduroZ4

mcubhlxfLis
A touch of classic game music, like what these guys are recreating:
mYZXNVHVfhc
A bit of growly metal with some grind and thrash influences, like this:
8oUxKjE7IDg
Ambient dream-pop, like these guys:
QNVVX-m-oSw
And finally, some folk-metal is usually fun, like what these guys do:
d3u86DPd7qc

[BabyBoy]

Hip Hop, Rap, R&B, mostly old school R&B, most slow R&B love songs. I don't know the difference in types of rock musics, but I listen to stuff like The Killers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, a bunch of other bands.

Seems odd you'd have a drummer in a poppunk band as your avatar, when you don't mention any pop punkers. :-/

[Face Smasher]

Check out my last.fm page for some of my favorite

Http://www.last.fm/user/facesmasher666

That's a good idea of whAt I listen to. I'm also getting into black metal like Enslaved. Electronica like Daft Punk, Cyborg Attack, and Lee Brotherton is great stuff too.

[Jeimuzu]

Oh wow, you like Jun too? :D Awesome! I'd already guessed about Cannibal Corpse, haha! Never quite got into them, but I'm into a lot of extreme metal myself. I love just how punishing bands like Nile can be.

[trumpetkid23]

Musical theatre, all the way. So much so that I write the stuff. I love indie/rock too.

[CrimsonThunder]

It looks like Travis Barker from Blink 182.
