Jedi Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Pretty much anything under the sun as long as I like it, favorite genres include Rock, Metal, J-Rock, Classical, Pop, some country here and there etc etc. [Hymns and such due to being a Christian] Favorite bands are: Crush 40, Rise Against, Yellowcard, The Beatles, Pillar. I also enjoy alot of video game OST's and Anime songs. My favorite song of all time is thus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor Odinson Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Symphonic/Power metal, though most other subgenres of metal is also good. Classical too. Not sure what the Avengers and Assassin's Creed soundtracks fall under, but I've been listening to those a lot as well. I'm willing to listen to anything that doesn't have degrading lyrics and doesn't hurt my ears though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkbubblegum Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm not that picky when it comes to music. I'm usually okay with most things I end up hearing. I have a real soft spot for music that sounds ethnic/folk though, and video game music usually does this really well. I also really appreciate complex vocal harmonies. They're one of the coolest things ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaze Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) This is a loaded question. I dislike most artists who fit into the genres I listen to; especially artists who aim for a genre or niche fanbase. You could say that I dislike all kinds of music, for being generic. I tend to like the exceptional in quality and style, but I would not be able to tell you what most of my music is unless I looked it up. I listen to what I get from friends or hear in other media.

peener weener Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 saying the music you like is "the best and most unique" of their genre is a pretty bold statement my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted35362 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 i make fun of people who say "i like everything except country and rap" too many noobs to count Symphonic/Power metal symphonic metal is one of the most idiot-proof genre names ever. it's called an orchestra.

Thor Odinson Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Orchestras don't usually have/require electric guitar solos I like the intersection between classical orchestras and metal guitar/base instrumentation. Fits together really well imo. Edited September 9, 2013 by Ezio Auditore da Firenze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makaze Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) saying the music you like is "the best and most unique" of their genre is a pretty bold statement my friend The boldness only covers what I have heard up to that point, but I stand by my statement. It has to sound new to me to leave an impression. It goes without saying that it being the best is subjective and relative to my standards. It is the best because my senses tell me it is. I meant that I do not keep a multitude of similar sounding bands in my collection. I keep the best and most unique artists and consider the rest cheap knockoffs who cannot create things without a formula.

Aizenberg Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 all sorts. i mainly like the classic rock bands out there but i like all sorts. depends on what mood im in. sometimes ill listen to heavy metal then other times i'll listen to classical or even 90s hip hop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espinosa Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'd like symphonic metal more if it were written in a different way and if the vocals were more bearable (then again I like things like Accept and Whitesnake that others would make fun of me for but I'm not sure if I'd enjoy a symphonic development of that kind of sound). I guess the only actual symphonic metal band that I really enjoy would be Virgin Black? Fantastic songwriting, no cheese (though the vocals aren't as good on the debut but that was before the dude took operatic singing courses and shit got legit), contrasting soft and br00tal parts, really moody. And then there's stuff like Emperor that's considered "symphonic" (those keyboards are fucking cheesy as hell but it works) even though it's not symphonic by any stretch, and suffice to say Emperor wallops shit.

Thor Odinson Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Yeah generally I get picky on the vocals too, but gimme an instrumental symphmetal and I'll be happy Singer of Kamelot though, Roy Khan I think Great voice, he's also one of those opera-trained singers, though I think recently his smoking is affecting his voice quality which is a shame his voice is really nice Edited September 9, 2013 by Ezio Auditore da Firenze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fush Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Oh god music ummmmmm Mainly a mixture of pieces from games and anime Also Yuki freakin Kajiura I don't have any sort of favorite KIND of music though; other than the fact that I hate pop.

Amelia Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Also Yuki freakin Kajiura This. All of the this. Like seriously, Yuki is off the chart. I listen to various genres but if you narrow it down, I kinda like Vocaloid? No no no no no, not Miku or Luka or Rin/Len, I'm more of a "producer fan" than "vocaloid fan", you know? I stalk the producer like a creeper haha. There's also game OSTs. Like Persona, Tales, to name a few. I am cool with old music, too. I loooove French songs on Sunday's morning with coffee. I blame my dad. He has that ritual. Edited September 9, 2013 by Amelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinumi Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I like music that's not American. I don't know, I can stand French music, Korean music, Vietnamese music, Thai music, Japanese music, Chinese music and insertmorenameshere music but for some reason I don't like American music. Probably because they don't make any sense to me and they're pretty much all about the same thing. But that aside, my favorite is VOCALOID music that's sung by utaite. Hitori is the best thing that's ever happened since sliced bread. clear and Lon and Wotamin are overrated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I still prefer Ren (Or Len whatever his name is spelled), krad ness, 96Neko and ENE more than them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you understand the range of American music. Americans have written pretty much every kind of music ever, bar music styles from before there were truly "Americans."

Phoenix Wright Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Anybody else like making fun of their friends for their music tastes? Funnest pastime ever. yes, it's great. it's especially funny when i don't mean it/actually like the band i'm shitting on and they take offense from it. i don't do it often because it gets incredibly annoying awfully fast. never heard of earthless. however, i'm listening to lost in the cold sun right now and i gotta ask, what's so bad about them? why hate them so much? as far as my musical tastes go...quite broad. my favorites are heavy metal (sabbath, the sword, freedom hawk, judas priest), blues/delta blues, hard rock, rock n' roll, etc. next comes fingerstyle guitar (andy mckee, michael hedges, leo kottke, don ross). then indie shit (bands similar to fun, imagine dragons, bird courage are liked more than others). but then of course there's orchestral music, disney soundtracks, and other generally sorta awful but catchy pop music. and then of course hip-hop. both lyrical and party-type (eg, nas, but also busta rhymes). drake, lil wayne, cheif keef, and kanye west are on my "never listen to willingly" list. oh, also, due to my upbringing, i find arabic music catchy as fuck. my mom never taught me arabic so i have no idea what's being said, but jesus are those songs beautiful.
