Thread title.

Favorite: Metal.
Why: I don't really know why Metal - and it's many sub-genres - is my favorite genre of music. Metal, to me anyway, sounds "cool" while being fast and technical - two traits I absolutely adore. I lack a solid reason...to be honest.

Least favorite: Country
Why: I dislike the lyrics most Country music entails and I simply can't stand the route the Country genre has taken in recent years. It hasn't progressed, it's taken a step backwards in my opinion.

EDIT: from the almighty Exorince

Favorite:Rock/Rap
Why:I can't chose between the two but they both generally fit my personality well.I'm talking about stuff like Blink 182,Kid Cudi, The Beatles and so on.

Least Favorite:Metal
Why:I don't connect with it especially anything that has screaming in it.

I like good music

Genres are about as useful as book covers, and you know what they say about those.

Favorite: Ska ( third-wave )
Why: According to Pandora, I enjoy vocal-centric, rhythmic music. If you ask me, I love jazz and reggae and punk, ska seems like the closest thing to their culmination.

Least Favorite: Metal
Why: It's too loud and hardcoe. I'm a relaxed guy normally and metal just makes me feel uncomfortable. Puts on his tiara

Most liked: Early 19th century Austro-German music.

Reason: Because it's awesome.

Most disliked: Crunkcore/screamo-crunk/whatever-it's-called.

Reason: Because it svcks.

Shush you, your favourite is me singing the MW theme while drunk.

This is very, very true :yes:

I don't have a favorite genre of music, but I do have a least favorite, and that would be modern day rap.

Mainly because I don't care for the lyrics. There is usually little to no meaning behind the songs, and when there is a meaning, I can't relate to it well.

What I listen to changes so often I can't really think of any genre in particular that I lean towards. I suppose video game music, if you could call it an actual genre. If not then maybe chiptunes, or big band.

Least favorites:
Hip hop
R&B
Country
Nu Metal (and pretty much every other sub-genre of metal)

No real reason other than it just doesn't sound good to me, especially nowadays with all the auto tune and what not. I'm also not a fan of overly aggressive lyrics and instrumentals, which sort of rules out the rap and a lot of metal (or whatever genres there are these days, I can't keep up).

I sound like an old man. :laugh: Good clean fun kids!

Most of my favorite stuff is classed as Metal, but I dont really think of metal nad then think of Tool (my favorite band).

Least favorite is easy. Pop or rap, either one just sounds horrible to me.

Gotta agree with Exorince. I like all genre's as long as it's a good song.

Least favourite - All that loud screamy metal stuff :yucky:

Can you guys share what your definition of 'pop' is? I think there's a huge difference between something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLexgOxsZu0 ( Lazy Song by Bruno Mars ) and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7GW8TYCEG4 ( Moment 4 Life by Nicky Minaj ). If you hate music just because it's pop ( which to me is short for popular ) then that's ignorant. For example, I loved http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKxodgpyGec ( Forget You by Cee Lo Green ) song the first dozen times it played on the radio, then it became a bit stale.

If this was a thread about my favorite song, I can't think of any other choice.

I would like to be that wide-ranging in my tastes.

In general, I find that I can enjoy almost genre of music. Nevertheless, I find that most of my listening and music exploration is within a fairly narrow field. :shrug:

I actually have on my media player; Jazz (about 3 CDs), A few classical pieces (I <3 Haydn right now), http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iL4mywCOJXA, Lots of blues songs like some old Robert Johnson classics, some metal (mostly Candlemass and Skálm?ld), Bad Meets Evil (Eminem and Royce), Nicki Minaj and even a few LMFAO songs.

How varied is that?

Which reminds me, have you listened to Hell: The Sequel? freakin amazing album

Favourite genres:

Black Metal
Electronic music (stuff like FSOL), techno, some trance, some drum and bass, ambient
80s post-punk / gothic rock, 90s alternative rock


Least favourite genres:

R&B
Hip hop
Post-2000s rock / indie
Metalcore

My favorite is metal/rock. Mostly because it's the music I "feel" the most. Whether it be singing or laying back.

Least favorite would probably be techno/electronic. Only because repetitive annoying beats that hurt my head.

I like what my ears do, but the genre I listen to the most (this is excluding the fact that I listen to video game music most of the time) is Gothic Metal, with Progressive Rock and Metal right behind it. The only music I actively avoid is vulgar Rap. Clean is fine. I don't listen to Country much anymore, but I don't dislike it or anything. I'm also not too fond of generic Techno. You know, the kind that repeats each new verse for two minutes. It's just agonizingly dull.

I also really, really, really like New Age, AKA "Old people music". It's just beautiful.

I like any music that is good and I enjoy a wide range of genres, but if I had to pick here it is

favourite: ska punk(don't give a [censored] which wave)loved it ever since I first heard operation ivy years ago
least favourite: dubstep, I find it intensely dull(I do however enjoy a bit of DnB every now and then.

I don't like genre's.
People get too caught up with the whole, "this is blackened-breakcore-experimental-jazz fusion" "no way man, it's alternative-techno-jazztronica" thing. I like good music.
When someone writes off millions and millions of potential great songs because "I don't like country/rap" (the two most common genres to hate on in my experience), they limit themselves so much. Really? You hate ALL country music? Even Johnny Cash? Even http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhOKhJaM1QE?

Maybe it's because I'm a part-time (read: I try to get around to writing a song every now and again) musician, but even that doesn't explain why there are so many bands that refuse to stray into any unfamiliar territory, and end up stagnant and boring.

Another example is with electronic music "A synthesizer in a metal band? Man this band is crap, I don't want that electronic [censored]!" (the reverse situation is also possible). Yeah, there are great bands from the past that used nothing but hand cut tape, tubes, and all anologue gear to make the sound that they wanted, but saying that digital music takes less skill, or that it is somehow inherently worse is just plain wrong. The best new music coming out today uses a mixture of everything, arranged in ways that people have never even though of before, and still manages to sound just as good or better than the classics (BTW, if anyone ever says that no good music comes out anymore, they are not looking hard enough for music).

And another thing: if you judge the state of music today based on what you hear on the radio or TV, you need to start broadening your horizons, because the vast majority of music never gets played on the radio, or ever reaches the charts.

Sorry for the slightly off topic rant, I just like music too much.

I don't really like going by genres, but whatever.

Favorite: Classical
Why: I feel like it has the most depth. In addition, I just connect with it better.

Least favorite: Screamo
Why: I feel like it just sounds like noise for the sake of noise, with no real depth.

I don't really discriminate though. I listen to mostly classical, but I like some country, alternative rock, oldies etc....

I love me some blues.

Have you ever listened to Refused? They did a superb job fusing hardcoe punk and techno music, you might like them if your into that genre bending experimental stuff. I agree with you though people get to hung up on genres and it can stop bands from experimenting if the get caught up in it to. Dismissing whole genres is a quite stupid, however there is some stuff just don't care for like dubstep that doesn't mean however it's all bad it just doesn't appeal to my tastes. The worst to me are people who dismiss all rap based off of 50cent, meaning they'll never hear amazing [censored] like a tribe called quest, jurrasic 5 and roots manuva.
