I'm guessing everyone will like something different-----I've often wondered if there's a link at all between the types and what music they listen to?

I like classic rock. I love the who they're definitely my favs but I usually like music from 60s-80s.

 

[ThoughtProcess]

I like pretty much everything but, I'd say hard rock/metal. My first favorite song was Heaven's On Fire, when I was around 6.

 

[mrshankly]

I listen to mostly alternative music, preferably from the 80s through this decade. My favorite bands are Animal Collective, Passion Pit, the Smiths,and Broken Social Scene. I also love old school rap like 2pac and Biggie

 

[chiagirl27]

Hard rock, southern rock, classic rock, some alternative.

For a while I thought I was supposed to like Tori Amos and stuff in that genre, and I tried... but it never clicked. I'm really more Guns n Roses, Lucero, Black Sabbath, etc.

My first favorite band was Creedence.

 

[Eeiko]

I like Japanese rock and pop, video game music, Scouting for Girls, Lady Soverign, and Eminem.

 

[madhatter]

I like musicians from all genres, but I don't like all genres, if that makes any sense. I'm egalitarian (a.k.a. indecisive :tongue...so I'm not really sure which is my favorite.

You know, the type of music one likes is usually a result of where and/or when they grew up.
Think about it.

I never thought about that. I've long been ventured into more obscure and avant-garde rock. Björk, her son's music... Hm... Oh yeah, I fucking love punk rock. Lagwagon is tops. But my main niche is grunge and alternative metal. Talkin' 'bout early Hole and Martin Grech. And jpop, baby. Nuthin' like it. haha

 

[Kadjunga]

jazz, blues, classical rock and occasionaly some of the more modern music. Mostly 60-90 music tho. Cant stand trance or anything similar at all.

 

[Drewbie]

I like avant-garde metal: Diablo Swing Orchestra, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Unexpect, Atheist, etc. Death Metal, melo-death, technical death, grindcore, black metal, symphonic metal, really almost any form of extreme metal makes me happy. However, I also like, hmmm, somewhat calmer music. Lately I've found myself listening to a lot of Rasputina, PJ Harvey, Siouxsie And The Banshees, Vermillion Lies, and Emma Wallace, Emily Wells, and the like (though honesty those aren't all very alike :crazy. Then I occasionally listen to hip-hop/rap but that's mostly limited too members of Doomtree, Cage, and Tupac. I also like Doo-Wop and Rockabilly. :happy:

 

[Starfish]

WOW. I have some serious listening experimentation to do.

 

[Erbse]

Lately it's all about Liquid DnB for me. Otherwise I listen to stuff across the board without much of a preference. The never changing variable in regards to the music I listen to is, it has to be melodic and a melody I like, while having enough 'oomph' behind it.

This is also why I can't do trance (and most other electronic types) but Liquid DnB is just pure awesomeness. In the grander scheme my overall music preference probably belongs to Power Metal, specifically Freedom Call and a likes, which given my personality, are surprisingly happy music makers.

Chip Tunes I like as well, but I figure that is mere nostalgic value from the good old C64 / NES times when I was still young. Younger than now anyway.

 

[kernel panic]

I am really into trance and techno. Although, I do listen to a lot of different genres of music. Really, my music choice coincides with how I'm feeling at the moment. If I'm just sitting back and relaxing, I usually put on some trance. If I'm getting ready to go out with my friends, I'll throw on generic club/house/electronic dance music. When I do off-roading, I throw on the country music. When I go to the gym, it's rock. When I'm driving, I switch depending on my mood, but sometimes I throw on some epic instrumental music if I'm in a hurry (eg. The Rock soundtrack done by Hans Zimmer).

 

[AEIOU]

Typically I'll listen to music while driving. I keep a small pile of CDs in my car so I don't have to listen to the radio, too many commercials etc. I don't keep original CDs in my car, never know when they might get stolen too, so I burn my own copies. Currently in my car:

Jimi Hendrix
The Beatles
Joe Bonmassa
Foo Fighters
U2
Led Zeppelin
Pink Floyd
Alanis Morissette
Natalie Cole
Hiroshima
Enigma
Emerson Lake & Palmer
Dave Matthews Band
Staind
Y.M.O.
Enya
Johnny Cash
Brad Paisley
Blondie
Madonna
Fourplay
Tangerine Dream
Andy Summers
James Newton Howard
Tommy Bolin
The Ventures

 

[DJArendee]

Anything with melody or powerful enough rhythm that makes me want to get up and do something. Anything that makes me want to fly, which basically boils down to: Trance, DNB, Ambient, and some current radio stuff. Anything with simple guitar strumming like Johnny Cash is good too.

 

[Indigo Aria]

John Denver
Pink Floyd
Paul McCartney
Guns N Roses
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Green Day
AC/DC
Ulrich Schnauss
Anti-Flag

And...I like Nickelback. I hate having to fend off haters every time I mention their name. I don't care if you're a f***ing rock snob and think Nickelback is "commercialized crap that all sounds the same"...I like them.

You and I could probably stand to listen to each others music.
I have some AC/DC and Green Day too, but certainly way more Jazz than you.
