What kind of music do you like?

[Rao]

OK, this is a thread where people can say who and what they like in music.

I personally like Santana, the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, Cream, Yes, Rush, Blind Faith, Traffic, the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Vanilla Fudge, Jimi Hendrix, Robin Trower, Pat Metheny, and Jaco Pastorius.

I'm not very picky about music, but I'd rather not hear "hit music" radio stations or songs about drugs, violence, or sex (this includes most mainstream rap), unless they're parodies or meant to be funny.

When I'm driving and my iPod isn't connected to the stereo, I'm usually listening to a rock station or a jazz station. If my iPod is connected, I might listen to some of the video game music I have on it.

Popular music today sucks. All of it.

I really like most electronic music. I prefer harder techno and hardstyle (driving around at night with the windows down and the bass cranked up is just waaaaaay too much fun), but I like some trance and more mellow stuff too. Sometimes. I also like most classic rock.

Hmm, my favorite bands/artists about now are...
Neil Young
Megadeth
The Beatles
Black Sabbath
Reverend Horton Heat
Hank Williams III

[Mr. Melee]

...Buckethead...

I seriously doubt that. But if it really is true, then why do you like Buckethead?

Hmm. My favorite general types of music are rock/hard rock/metal. Here's a list of bands/artists:

Led Zeppelin
Primus
Buckethead
Rush
Chevelle
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Audioslave
George Thorogood
Rage Against the Machine
Dragonforce
Pink Floyd

...and that's just a few.

You're right Mr. Melee, I'm not a big enough rocker to listen to Buckethead. I better throw away my CD!

I'll throw away my Van Halen albums too, they get kind of loud with those guitars!

[BP]

I don't really have any favorites, I'll just listen to whatever's being played unless it's rap/hip-hop, country or emo (I have never had control over the radio in the family car, ever). I hate my iPod because it crashes my computer every time I try to use it, and so I use my M3 DS Simply to listen to video game music (Gyakuten Saiban Meets Orchestra is made of win) or The Picard Song or The Beatles or some other good item I have. If classic rock or some other non-earsore is on a nearby radio, I won't complain.

You probably already knew I like Weird Al but when he suddenly got so popular, it kind of killed it for the rest of us... But since no one really knows about all his old stuff, it's still good. But you could say I'm "weirded out." Ahahaa...

[SolidShroom]

You're right Mr. Melee, I'm not a big enough rocker to listen to Buckethead. I better throw away my CD!

I'll throw away my Van Halen albums too, they get kind of loud with those guitars!

Get rid of the Jimi Hendrix too, because he's also very proficient on them guitars and you don't have the right to listen to them.

Also It's funny how most people's musical tastes that don't really like music are: 1) Everything but country 2) Everything but Rap and Country 3) Rap 4) Country

Jeff Buckley                                          ZZ Top

So, there's not really anything I won't listen to.  You may notice a lack of country on this list, but I assure you, I do like some.  The same with rap.  More rap than country.

Re: Solid
Those are my least favorite classifications of music. And I like music. (Which is why it hurts my mind to hear those types of music.)

And also, select songs from miscellaneous other genres ranging from techno to classical and so on.

I'm gonna go with the general consensus that most of today's music sucks, what with those emo and rap guys and all, but here's a few select bands off the top of my head:

Prodigy
Green Day
Led Zepplin
AC/DC
Weird Al
