I expect more maturity from the mentors on this board, usually. I think this thread was to identify your favorite genres, not to bash on other peoples' tastes using tired cliches.

Re: Favorite Genre of music
 

Mine would be Heavy Metal, but I enjoy Techno, Drum n Bass, and Rock as well.

Re: Favorite Genre of music
 

Symphonic Metal, esp. the band Nightwish.

Think taking like a rock/metal band, adding an orchestra, a chorus, and highly lyrical vocals mixed with typical rock singing. It's pretty awesome.

Have you heard the KISS album with the Melbourne Syphony Orchestra backing them up. It's awesome.
I wish to apologize if I offended anyone.

Re: Favorite Genre of music
 

I'm more of a house music type of guy, Dubstep is growing on me more and always love 90s hip hop or rap with meaning like Lupe fiasco etc. Classical music puts me to sleep which is good because I don't sleep lol. But I can listen to virtually anything and are always looking for new house and techno artist anyone got any suggestions?

Guys, it's chiptunes all the way. No other genre focuses on modding retro game consoles. :D

EDM :D
Post-Hardcore

Five finger death punch. All day long

As a Jazz/Blues guitarist myself, I tend to stick to those genre's. Anything with a sexy guitar part (SRV, BB King, Robert Johnson, Clapton, Pat Matheny, Freddie Green, Russel Malone, all that Jazz. (See what I did there? :D ))

After that, I really dig the old, bluesy rock, such as Hendrix, Led Zeppelin ( <---My favorite), The Doors, Grateful Dead, The Animals, etc.

I am not really sure where Jethro Tull qualifies in all of this, but they are my second favorite band. (Thick as a Brick is what I listen to when doing all of my last-minute CAD for our sponsors in the middle of the season.)

I can listen to metal when I need to get pumped, but I am not a hardcore metalhead, so I stick to the more popular stuff, my favorite being Iron Maiden. I also really like Rammestein.

Pink Floyd is in there as one of my favorites.

But I do appreciate all types of music. I can dig rap on occasion (such as Snoop Dogg's cover of The Doors "Riders on the Storm," ) but that might be due to the school I go to, and how rap is the local music. I can sometimes go for Reggae (especially Armenian Reggae, look it up :D .)

Re: Favorite Genre of music
 

Here are my favourites and my favourite examples of all of them

Psychedelic Rock (Pink Floyd)(Pink floyd = number one FOREVER),
Alternative Rock (Radiohead),
Punk Rock (Billy Talent)
Progressive Metal(Protest the Hero,
Classic Rock(Rush and the beatles)
Heavy Metal(Haven't really decided as of yet),
Death Metal(Opeth/Amon Amarth),
Noir Jazz(Bohren and Der Club of Gore),
Classical/Orchestral(Holst/Debussy/Cage),
Frank Sinatra/Louis armstrong kind of jazz
Funk/Soul/Reggae(Marley)


I feel like the Psychedelic-y Metal-y Alternative-y Vibes get drowned out at Competitions by the unbelievable amounts of dubstep and EDM. No hate, but I wanna hear some real stuff sometime
