Whats your favorite music genre

[joshchernoff]

I live in Portland Oregon USA where the "for the most part" radios wave carry propaganda driven stereotyped top 100 crap which makes my ears bleed fecal matter :red:.So for the most part I stay to the web radios wave of 1&0's.

Before I became a programmer / designer I was hoping to become a producer / recorder / dj. I have since redefined what I considered to be good music, yet most of which can not be found on the radio. That makes me wonder, how many of you feel the same, and I think there's no better way then to see what the average music genre is favored here.

and to get an idea of what for the most part I think to be good music genre look here

[leisuresuitlissy]

I voted unknown but you really need an option for 'other'

[joshchernoff]

I voted unknown but you really need an option for 'other'

could you name a group that you listen to that you could say it falls under other?

[Phenex]

There is SOOOO much missing in that list! Daaayum!

[lilymc]

Yeah, you left out a few categories, including some major ones (Alternative/New wave, and some others)

so i didn't vote...

[Templarian]

Jam Bands wern't on there So I voted hibby because i saw Phish which is like Dave Matthews Band. Irish Genera for Great Big Sea :lol:

[bobbyanderson]

Electro House

[graylensman]

Oh come on. Old School Punk not on the list?? Movie Soundtracks not either? I like ambient/downtempo/chill, but it's not my fave unless I'm actionscripting.

[garyzero]

could you name a group that you listen to that you could say it falls under other?

Alternative, Metal, Industrial, etc because I didn't see it on the list.

[DanontheMoon]

My personal favorite isn't listed - Industrial.
I voted for old/new techno, but you really should expand the category to electronica if you're going to lump Industrial, Noise, Darkwave, EBM and Synthpop all under the same label.

[joshchernoff]

I need the help of a mod to change the poll

[Al6200]

Would Boards of Canada / AFX / Sqaurepusher count as techno or would it count as ambient? Also, some of Radiohead's later work has a sort of techno-ambient style that's tough to put into either one.

Maybe electronica should be an option, since I think that helps to distinguish Crazy Front "techno" from Kid A, a down right awesome rock-techno opera.

[nobody]

This is a really bad poll.

Also Portland has a pretty awesome music scene from what I can tell. Modest Mouse kick it there, and they left freaking Issaquah for it, so there must be something right about the area for music.

Perhaps turn off the radio and go to a show?

aaa stop your crying and help me fix the type~o stricken poll :thumb:

[hybrid101]

hard rock/heavy metal, classic rock, and punk/thrash acts make my day:D

[wo1olf]

offtopic : what i would like to hear how the unknown music sounds :D

[DDD]

You should add "oldies". Like from the Motown era. I like stuff like Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. Also Lenny WIlliams (Tower of Power). But I voted rap.

[graylensman]

offtopic : what i would like to hear how the unknown music sounds :D

Nobody knows.

[garyzero]

^sounds like country

[pablosci]

i have to say post rock, experimental, alternative rock, indie rock
these are not on the pool
but
they are my favourites :}

[garyzero]

Threads dead Jim.

[DanontheMoon]

Or is it? I think Mr. Bungle counts as 'unknown'.

[graylensman]

Threads dead Jim.

oh yeah - I forgot Klingon opera, too.

[jenzwhiz]

techno has two meanings -- it's funny -- for europeans they mean

stuff with no vocals, really underground "hard" stuff -- for

americans, when they say "techno", often they mean what in europe is

called "dance". And "dance" in europe is a lot more mainstream and

pop-oriented

for "american" style techno (i.e. european "dance"), the best example

I've found is this (itunes link):

http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZSearch.woa/wa/advancedSearchResults?albumTerm=Euro+Club+Hits+Vol +



strangely it's called "euro club hits" ... which makes things even

more confusing ;

for "european" style techno... i.e. the stuff with no songs, I

recommend going to www.beatport.com and checking out the stuff in the

"techno" section

[nimja1]

Just so u know.... u spelled reggae wrong its spelt like this <

[DanontheMoon]

4. M.I.A.
5. Okkervil River
6. Radiohead
7. Kanye West
8. Dr. Dre
9. The Monkees
10. Brian Wilson

I like a little bit of everything but you didn't have that category so I went with old-new techno.

[fester8542]

Metal

[.soulty]

whats with this 'old' category business at the start?

You almost have all my favs... acid jazz, lounge, chill, hiphop...
dont have.. neo soul, New Jack Swing (90's rnb)

why is acid jazz old?

why is acid jazz old? he has "old - new" in front of it.

[Stylistic Ninja]

PUNK.

[.soulty]

he has "old - new" in front of it.does that mean old to new? as in that range?

[TheCanadian]

It threw me too; I think it means any date. There's too many different genres for a poll like this.

[Jeff Wheeler]

This is a really bad poll.

Yeah, I thought Portland was supposed to be similar to Austin, with tons of really great local music.

With that said, I'm currently listening to KEXP, a Seattle station. :P

[built_by]

I would say Seattle is one of the best places for music. Or if you like Jazz, Chicago or New York.

[fester8542]

Interesting selection of genre's :lol:

I love how broad the rock category is.

You've grouped the people who like Fleetwood Mac and the Beatles in with the people that listen to Napalm Death and Cradle of Filth.

No wonder it's winning.

[shane-c]

Kidz Bop encompasses all genres, and is therefore the best kind of music. That's just scientific fact.

[directory_guy]

Reggae is my favorite kinda music. Bob Marley and crew.

[nimja1]

directory_guy knows what the hell hes talking about at least... Reggae FTW!!!!

[PsychE]

I voted for (old - new - pop - top 100 /80's pop / 90's pop)- It's a girl thing duh:lol:

[Samurai]

I like mostly metal and hardcore, no option for either in the pole so I voted for the first rock one.

I also listen to some mainstream techno? like prodigy and the crystal method. I also like some rap, basically anything that is heavy. F_ck, I'll listen to drum and bass if I felt it had some edge.

[witweew]

....yeah -- i agree, people are basically getting sick of the

same old rock/hip-hop/r&b bullsh*t..:sen:...

and there is just this big upsurge from a new style

coming out of Europe -- best place i've found it so
:link:
far is a compilation series called 'euro club hits' on itunes

-- or check this link::party:

[.soulty]

moved this to the music forum.

[dj_kyron]

Nothing specific other than:

1) its got depth, emotion, almost makes me get goosebumps (progressive house, electronica)
or
2) its really melodic and/or bouncy (generally hip-hop, rnb, and stuff)

[djheru]

Strictly Scottish bagpipe music blaring from the speakers as loud as possible whilst coding.

[keanwoo]

I voted for "old - new country"

[r3h0ld3r]

I would have rather put my check mark where it said "metal" but I succumbed to placing my vote amongst the rock section...

[vimbite]

I voted both the rock and Reggae music, I really like to listen rock specially death metal bands like the sepultura, decide,dimmu borgir,cannibal corpse and other metal bands.And when it came to a party I decided to go for a reggae cause it's nice to hear and feels like dancing to reggae music.keep on rocking pppeeeppsss.....

[saxx]

Anything in the rock genre, basically anything that came from the beatles

soul
emo
screamo
metal
blues
indie

etc
etc

(yes the beatles invented screamo, listen to helter skelter)

[GrndMasterFlash]

ummm, reggae, not reagee

[sieghart]

i vote for others... i listen to jpop ^_^

[TheCanadian]

etc
etc

(yes the beatles invented screamo, listen to helter skelter)You think the beatles invented all of that?!

[graylensman]

The Beatles wrote "Helter Skelter" in response to the Who's "I Can See For Miles". The Blues existed long before the Beatles came on the scene. And they were hardly indie.

[TheCanadian]

The beatles were hardly blues anyways, nor soul, emo, screamo (whatever the hell that is), metal nor indie.

[ShadowViper]

Death metal (including a large portion melodic/gothenburg), Sludge metal, thrash metal, power metal, metal of any other sort.

Some electronic (trance) and classical (I love classical piano music)

[scarymary777]

I love rock and blues..


Some of my new favorites in the blues rock genre...

Clayton Senne
Heavy Young Heathens
Luke Mulholland

[TheCanadian]

Blues rock is good; I like the stuff from the 60's like the Yardbirds, Animals and John Mayall.

[graylensman]

I thought blues were the pills the Mods were taking in Quadrophenia.

[DanontheMoon]

No mention of the Rolling Stones? I'm appalled.

[sieghart]

i voted uknown since 80% of the songs in my ipod is composed of j-pop/j-rock/j-alt and some k-pop ^_^

[Jack_Cullen]

i love songs from the late 70's to mid 90's
newer songs today are not that good

[ChrisTurn]

Mostly old music but new rhythms make me alive :)

[ngseo]

I voted for Rap and RnB- fave singers are Ne-yo and Paula Deanda.

[ChrisTurn]

Lynda, you're very welcomed here, what kind of music do you like ? :hugegrin:

[matthewjumps]

[ChrisTurn]

Lynda, did you read me ? :stunned:

[ChrisTurn]

[Ana72]

I answered Unknown because christian genre music is not on the list. :)

[ChrisTurn]

Yes, it would be...

[wcharlot]

I do love alternative music so much though I also like some songs in other genres. Alternative rock is my bloodline.:snug:

[movienumbers]

Mostly old music but new rhythms make me alive :)

Cool man!

[wcharlot]

I like alternative music. it is my bloodline

[ChrisTurn]

The rhythm of 90's is still good !

[wcharlot]

alternative rock music is my favorite genre especially listening to it when i am lonely
