Nightmare Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 thrash METAL. Ok? softer than metal, modern rock that is not punk. endless amount of bands that are not listed. I'm not finding anything on this "generic rock" you speak of, so you either made it up, or whatever band thinks that they are "generic rock" has made it up. And even if the term does exist, "softer than metal, modern rock that is not punk" is redundant. Why not just call it, you know, hard rock? Or alternative? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding something here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Ok, what would you classify Foo fighters as? Other bands i throw under this umbrella are, Trapt, Papa roach and 30 seconds to mars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmare Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 (edited) ...Papa Roach is softer than metal...? Anyway, all of those bands you listed share hard rock and/or alternative rock/metal between them, among other things. At least, that's what they sound like to me. EDIT: Upon further investigation, those seem to be the officially listed genres. Edited August 23, 2010 by Nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophius Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 (edited) Another thing, jazz is missing from the poll. The swing era of which happens to be my favorite genre after classical. Alot of people like rock on this forum. The only artists I particularly enjoy are Blue Oyster Cult and Frank Zappa.

Le Communard Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Well, I never claimed to be too highbrow with my musical tastes, although they are rather outside of todays mainstream, so I just choose other. As for my some of my top artists, in no particular order: Sam Cooke James Brown Otis Redding Aretha Franklin Stevie Wonder Sly and the Family Stone Marvin Gaye Sam and Dave Jackie Wilson Ray Charles Smokey Robinson Booker T. and the MG's Bob Dylan CCR Johnny Cash BRUCCCEEEEE (Springsteen) The Band The Stones CSNY Randy Newman Simon and Garfunkel Miles Davis Herbie Hancock Edited August 26, 2010 by Le Communard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhythm Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 In no particular order: Billy Joel Linkin Park Delta Goodrem Savage Garden Skillet Pink I'm also quite fond of gaming music and soundtracks from movies/cartoons/anime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaceDancer Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Hm well in terms of rock and metal, I don't listen to much: Pink Floyd Rush Styx Cream Eric Clapton Led Zeppelin The Jimi Hendrix Experience The Eagles Muse Nightwish Within Temptation Iron Maiden Manowar Metallica Black Sabbath Megadeth KISS Van Halen There are probably more in that category, but I don't really care. I also like classical music, so I'll just list some of my favorite composers: Bach Beethoven Mozart Brahms Grieg Pachelbel Tchaikovsky Chopin Paganini Schubert Liszt Rachmaninoff I also fancy techno and video game music, mostly of the Asian sort. Things like classical Nintendo ballads, some of the more serious tones (in more serious games hurr) and a few others. One thing I can't stand though is Japanese pop and rock. To me, it all sounds the same. Have any of you listened to Japanese rock? Every guy makes this weird dip in tone at certain points, and it just pisses me off to listen to it.

Original Alear Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I see no jazz on this list. Disappointing. I suppose you could lump it together with R&B but I would not do so. Bohren & der Club of Gore. They are awesome! Mine in no particular order: 1: Tom Waits 2: The Runaway FiveAhmad Jamal 3: Django Reinhardt 4: Roy Hargrove 5: Ray Wylie Hubbard 6: Hiromi Uehara 7: Lyle Lovett 8: Captain Beefheart 9: Towns Van Zandt 10: The Gavinners Mose Allison My favorite is probably Ray Wylie Hubbard, Ahmad Jamal or Mose Allison.

Original Alear Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Yes and fuck yes. Also, Sun Ra is jazz like a fiend. Sorry. I meant poll options, not like no jazz in people's music lists. I don't know enough about music to judge that based on the groups listed here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolDeath Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 You're into the Magic Band, that means you never have to apologize for anything you do in life. Free jazz is such a great genre though, it can range from the almighty works of the heliocentric one to crazy shit like Naked City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
