Hi all, I haven't been on in a while, so I decided i would contribute something. I had an idea due largly to another forum , maybe we should discuss music over here. I would like the opinions and personal favorites of all those here at Fforums. So I will begin the thread with the Beatles. I really like the Beatles because they really started alot of the music listened to today. They were mainstream and yes a little odd, but that lent them an edge over the other bands. Well i aso like new age stuff, however i do not like rap, country or opra. But for my two cents a will enter the Beatles, they are an overall great band. For those of you who are wondering, there is no real purpose to this thread as of yet, later im sure some debates will break out over the bands, and this is highly encouraged. Have fun and even if u just put a line, let us no your favorite so they're included.

Opera, Polka, country, pop (britney like, rocks my, y'know, world),jug bands, and anything sung in an educational video made in the early 90's.
And rap. gotta love rap.

I remember being little and my older brothers would listen to rock, and I thought that when I got older I wouldn't like it, but I do. And strangely, I like smooth jazz. And Pat Metheney. Does anyone else like the stuff I mentioned?

My favorite genre of music BY FAR is Jazz. All kinds of Jazz except singing. I don't like songs with lyrics to them... singing is annoying. THen I also like Big Band/Swing, Bluegrass, 50's Rock 'n' Roll (The only exception to the not liking singing), Ska, and Symphonic Music. Of course, I also LOVE Game Music.

I basically like all kinds of music, but my favorites are smooth jazz and symphonic. I agree, words are unnecessary, instrumental music is best. My favorite composer is John Williams, creator of the music for movies such as Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, Jaws, and just about every movie ever directed by Steven Speilberg.

Words aren't ALWAYS the best, but I know some people who LIKE singing *cough*me*cough*

I listen to mostly classic rock, a little bit of orchestrated stuff, and very little video game music.

I remember at the end of "Bill Nye the Science Guy", there was always a rap song that explained stuff that Bill Nye showed earlier in the show. I didn't like those.

Today's popular music is crap.

That's all I have to contribute to this discussion. A bit TOO terse? Perhaps.

Not neccessarily. It's true that much of taday's music is made by mediocre musicians who thought that they could make it big in the music business (and proved themselves right). But every now and again, one group shines through the clouds of mediocrity and gives us a good listen. And then we never hear it again. :<

Good music is dead today. All new music depends on looks. Basically: You look good, but can't sing well, that's not problem! We have voice enchancing machines! Ugh.... I can't express my hatred for Pop and Rap enough. Punk and Emo is also annoying. Punk is just screaming and the same screeching loud guitar rift over and over, while Emo is just the same with every song except each song has different lyrics. Psh. I think it's ironic how back in the "Ballyhoo 20's" Jazz and Big Band was considered to be raunchy, and sleazy, where as now, it's oldies. Same goes with 50's Rock and Roll. Back then, all the parents thought it was horrible, teens couldn't get enough of it, but now look. They're oldies now! Gee... I wonder what the next big genre of music will be...

Almost any Rock 1960's-1980's. Old school rap, techno, Jazz/blues, Japanese rock, Heavy metal, old punk, Grunge, some newer bands, Ska is alright too. Alternative. You know...rock stuff..

Bands: The Pillows, The Clash, Nirvana, Beatles, Black Sabbath, Primus, The Ramones, Radiohead, etc.

(veterans ought to know that this kind of topic will drag me out of hibernation)

I agree with most of you that words DESTROY any work of musical worth. My favorite kind of music is Symphonic Rock. It's not really rock in the "rock and roll" sense, but rather extremely fast-paced and multi-metered. (just listen to Abram's Pursuit by David Holsinger and you'll know what I mean). My next favorite is video game music. Most of my favs in this group are the minor keyed dungeons, boss battles, and sad themes.

TEM · « **Reply #15 on:** December 10, 2003, 03:20:40 PM »

I don't think so.
Muzak is fine with vocals depending on what kind of music you're listening too.

Yes, i will have to agree wit hthose of you who said anything good about rick. But then again, i will have to side with those of you who downed today's music. Where as I do enjoy rock and some new music (I will listen to anything except for rap, country, and opra, and some pop) most of it does blow chunks. Rap is just a bunch of grown men complaining about their childhoods, or talking about getting high, neither of which garners much respect with me. Pop today is just big plastic enhancements, thats it. Country is a bunch of old men singing about love or tractors, period. So their once again is my two cents, lets through some debate in here shal, we, does anyone posting listen to any of the styles i just downed?? If so, then give me some reasons why you believe the genre has merit and then all other comers may take a shot at what you say and wee'll see the outcome.

I listen to mainly Progressive Rock¹ and Game Music². Considering I play lots of classical music, I listen to it as well.

¹Favorites: Yes, Moody Blues, Rush. I guess Steely Dan really isn't considered Progressive Rock, but I listen to lots of Steely Dan too.

²Favorites: Yasunori Mitsuda, Koji Kondo, Dave Wise, Yuzo Koshiro

I like classical music, but I also like most video game music. One of my favorite video game musics is the Gameplay theme from snes Wario's Woods. The music I listen to everyday is from my favorite movie, "Poltergeist," composed by Jerry Goldsmith. (Hirocon might like this movie since it is a Steven Speilberg film.)

I used to listen to that Rap music. Then I quit. I started going to church more, and learned all about that junk. Rap makes everything look ok. Like cussing, nudity, men wearing jewelery. Rock also does that, too. Besides, the songs started to suck, anyway. Rap, is one of the worst music in the world. I listen to Christian music now. No nudity, cussing; just good, clean music.

Nintendo owns you.

There's no nudity in rap music.
There's nudity in rap videos.
But I know what you mean. I don't like most newer rap either.

Must have not seen very many rap videos.

**~~Changes train of thought instantly~~**

The only orchestra stuff I listen too is mostly movie scores(John Williams: Superman theme, Indiana Jones theme, Star Wars themes, etc. and Don Davis composed as far as I know all the orchestra music for the Matrix trilogy.) and a little orchestrated video game music.

my favorite music is rock...i dont like too much punk and every now and then like classic rock....but my favorite song has to be Aerials by System of a Down...of course SOAD is verrrry heavy when it comes right down to the melody, but overall a good band.
I do enjoy the Beatles SOMEWHAT, and HATE rap, country and any of that other crap...the song styles ive listed are the kind i listen to.

Right here. Does anyone else listen to Queen, or any other classic Rock? I like classic rock from the '60s to the '80s, and also video game music. I have about seven NSFs on my computer.

I recently got into lots of different groups. Some of my favorite groups include: The Steve Miller Band,(gotta love "The Joker") Queen, The Eagles, and the Beatles.

I also enjoy the Foreigner song "Cold as Ice." Most of what I listen to is classic rock and Christian music. (Got to love DCTalk.)

The Beatles! Yeah! They're great! I do enjoy them, and Led Zeppelin. Probably the best album is Their Untitled one. I also love Floyd, The Eagles, Paul McCartney and Wings, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ACDC, Queen... the list goes on. I REALLY love Classic Rock!!!

I used to just like Video Game music...Then I thought Rap was fine for awhile (I dunno why, I was an idiot). Then I thought it was stupid, and tried getting into the heavy metal my brother listened to. It was good.

Now, I like J-Rock and Video Game Music, mostly. Heavy Metal is still nice, too.

Sometime while I was in grade school, they interviewed me for the school newsletter or whatever because I was "student of the month" for some reason. One of the questions was "What's your favorite type of music?" Now, I didn't really listen to anything more than what my parents listened to, so I said "rap."

And no, my parents did not listen to rap.

Sometimes I wonder if my classmates still think I like rap. This is one way rap has changed my life.

Lemme guess, was Deezer D your favorite?
