What kind of music do you listen to?

[nsrZ32]

Like the thread title says.....what kind of music do you like best?

[bt2s14]

I listen to so many different things from Trance to Classical. My favorite genre

right now would have to be J-pop, japanese pop music.

[BMAR240SX]

Jay-Z

[Kckouki]

I can pretty much listen to anything.I chose rap tho, project pat ftw.

[Sil40_Mayhem]

Since it was a poll and I couldn't add a choice in there, I chose rap. I prefer true hip hop like Mos Def, KRS-1, Rakim, older Pac & Biggie stuff, etc. over most of today's tired/played commercial easy bake blinged out crap.

That said, in keeping the the title of the thread:Hip HopR&BReggaeAlternativeElectronicaSome Metal/RockClassical60s/70s (including Funk, Disco, & Doo-wop)80sJ Pop

I agree 100%, I listen to the **** from like 2001 <, biggie smalls had it gonig on, I like the slim shady ****, and Dr.dre. But my favorite is 8 ball & mjg.

[Nick240sx]

But my favorite is 8 ball & mjg.

same here

i listen to so many different genres i get yelled at by my friends cause i never have the same kind of music playing...which i thought was a good thing?

[nizmo_dryfta]

Jay-Z

and im down wit the TRUE hip hop artist and more content base lyrisicst out there such as Mos Def too although i am a huge Jay-Z fan.

[Sil40_Mayhem]

I'm down w/Jay-Z, too. He can sometimes fall into the commercialized crap category, but then he'll drop something like "Meet the Parents" and it's all good again. I'd chalk it up to diversity in his music.

[Jiggyfry]

I listen to everything, from Tribe called quest to Johhny Cash.

Went to see ISIS the other night, what a show! If you like metal (mostly instrumental) then check em out.

Broad range of music is the best way, IMO. Lets you get a taste of whats out there and can really broaden your scope.

[adrianfromthecastle]

anything cept: hardcore, alternative, christian rock, and country.

LIES!!!! I remember you and Jess were talking about how u were listening to christian rock lately, LIES LIES!!

Jay-Z?

Jay kay that's just my opinion I listen to underground.

[phuphyter]

Anything, except hardcore metal, christian rock, country, and most electronica. Otherwise it really just comes down to the song regardless of genre.

[WDRacing]

Jerry, I added Electronica bro...how can you include Country and Rap and not have Electronica???

Which by the way OWNS!!!!!

[NSR_s30]

Metal,techno, classic rock, rock...some alternative

[SketchyRollin564]

Old and underground rap. Some of its not really underground, but still old. Think Gangstarr, talib kwali, the song "still not a player". Classic rock i love, funk rock is great, and theres a few newer rock bands that i like, but a lot of new stuff unfortunatley is junk.

[blackieblack]

i second that. too much pop style rock. basically when the lyrics dont make sense thats poprock. not the metaphorcal stuff like tool (luv them). but the stuff thats like just stupid and they make a song about. "do you feel like a man when you push her around". wtf!!! who cares what your singing about. thats stupid. hopefully smashing pumpkins will have a good return. and nin will have a release next month.

[koukicody]

i listen to mainly

jungle/drum & basspunk/metal/hardcoreumthe beatlesand tool, cuz i consider them there own genre lol

but jungle/drum & bass FTW

[blackieblack]

drum n bass! diesel boy FTW!!! and cell dweller has one good D&B song.

[koukicody]

listen to some Pendulum Andy C still rocks my socks as a Dj.and my buddy John ( Infiltrata ) is doing very well for himself

[blackieblack]

great. i need more D&B to piss my neighbors off.

[YouCantSeeMe]

im a big hip hop head..i listen to like a lot of old skool and underground **** but i listen to like other things like r&b, funk, jazz, some rock and trance

[ToolMaker240]

cant spell crap with out rap ..... TOOL and Deftones FTW!!

[koukicody]

Im the resident Punk/metal/hardcore listener around here. There needs to be more of us so we can hunt down all of you people who listen to c-rap.

Im the resident Punk/metal/hardcore listener around here. There needs to be more of us so we can hunt down all of you people who listen to c-rap.

Or, we can hunt down all of the "OMG I'm gonna listen to emo, call it punk, and play thrashing guitar music so I can feel less conformist (like everyone else) and more hardcore so people will think I'm cool, even though I pretend not to care what they think" listeners. <-- That was pretty stupid, huh? Just because you like one type of music, doesn't mean you have to bash on another to make your preferred genres look better. Or are you that pressed to make your style of music look better? Me, I don't particularly care for country/western/bluegrass, but I won't hate on it if it floats someone else's boat. That's as pointless as a KA vs. SR beef.

And for the record, I listen to a diverse range of music, and would like to find more good rock and metal. Since you are particularly fond of this type of music (and thus likely to have a better insight on it than a casual listener like myself), do you have any recommendations?

[iwantans13]

Point taken. I was just being a Dbag there for a second. Sorry if I offended anyone. But as far as good metal bands it depends on what kind of metal you want. If youre into crazy guitar solos Id check out trivium, dragonforce or shadows fall. If its harccore you like, look at winter solstice, atreyu, as I lay dying, underoath or norma jean. If you want some of the more popular stuff, Avenged Sevenfold, Eighteen visions or Lamb of god is great. For some of the darker european stuff, children of bodom, opeth or In Flames. For some of the just straight up crazy metal you can look at between the buried and me, strapping young lad or converge. Hope that helped

[Sil40_Mayhem]

Coolness. I'll look into the dragonforce and and dark euro stuff (sounds like a good fit ). Thanks for the tips!

Sorry, didn't mean to come off as a nazi or anything, just trying to keep the ennvironment neutral here on NICO.
