I wonder who voted for rap? I mean, I don't know why I put it up there, but I guess they're thinking of the older and much more better kind.

DarkElf27 I just found a new song that I now really love. 'Hotel California', by the Eagles. I'm pretty sure that wasn't "new" when I discovered it due to radio saturation about 15 years ago.

i_heart_ron DarkElf27 I just found a new song that I now really love. 'Hotel California', by the Eagles. I'm pretty sure that wasn't "new" when I discovered it due to radio saturation about 15 years ago. Yeah, the Eagles had their farewell concert awhile back. They where a great band.

I like pop, pop-punk, some rap, pop-rock (like Green Day, they're good, but in no way whatsoever are they 'rock' or even 'goth').
Hard rock is okay, but some of it makes my ears bleed. My dad listens to it a lot, I usually try to drown it out with Dutch pop or Eminem.
Country... Okay.
Emo... Just shut the ******** up already, I know your life's horrible, so go shoot yourself. The world doesn't need any more whining morons.

I don't really have a particular genre of music that I like. I don't like country or rap though. I tend to listen to a lot of Asian pop and alternative rock (like Incubus, Better Than Ezra) and I like rock in the style of Muse. I like songs from musicals, too, and independent singers like Leona Naess and Rachael Yamagata.
I tend to listen to what fits my mood.

I don't know what genre my music is under, exactly. I don't like the NEW rap, and unfortunately, I've never heard the old rap before. I also don't like screaming music, or monotonous type of music. Or hardcore country, not because I doubt their talent, but it's not my thing.
I like Switchfoot, Coldplay, Lifehouse, Sara Mclachlan, Bryan Adams, Train, Dextor Gordon, Coltrane and Miles.

Rock and gothic mostly.
My current obsession is Post Blue by Placebo. ^^
But before that it was a few songs by Everlast (blues kind of style).
I go for liking songs, rather than a genre.
And what I really hate...is rap, trance, dance and R 'n' B. I'll like the ocasional song, but it's rare.

Well, we've all got our oppinions on this one, so I'll throw mine out there
I listen to all sorts of music. Everything from Coldplay to Cradle of Filth.
I must also add, that while rap is becoming more and more worthless these days, it hasn't always been this way. So I guess I'm here to try to defend rap.
Mostly, Public Enemy.
One of the original hip-hop groups, and definately the first group to go against the common "gangsta" rap being led by such bands as NWA. Public Enemy went against the norm, and sung about real-life issues, most of which were political. They were intelligent, and were there to inform, not to sing about their "Bitches and Hoes"
There are many other good rap groups of the past. De La Soul, the Roots, Diggable Planets, and others. I personally enjoy all of these bands, and have nothing wrong with rap. Until they cross the line.
Other than that I'm mostly into older punk bands:
Circle Jerks
Minor Threat
Dead Kennedys
Buzzcocks
The Pixies
Butthole Surfers
Agent Orange
Bad Religion
I have also become newly addicted to classical music. Beethoven, Mozart, and Dvorak are my favorites as of now
And J-pop. xp

I am the other person who voted for Jazz and Blues. I agree with i_heart_ron; most other forms of musical expression gained a lot of their influence from the black community. Modern rock goes back to 60's rock and country, which is heavily influenced by black gospel; country follows this formula as well. The great jazz and blue artists were black; Miles Davis, B.B. King, Louis Armstrong. Irish and Scottish music has remained remarkably untouched over the years, influencing other genres without being influenced strongly in return. I like lots of other types of music; I hope that one day, the rap community will realize what a bunch of tools they sound like, grow up a little, and produce something with lyrics that don't involve shooting someone in a gang shootout, dissing or killing someone in the law enforcement career, or taking part in the equivalent to audible pornography. Then, I might be able to say I like rap. Some groups are there already, but not very many. i_heart_ron, I've never picked up an album by either PJ Harvey or Nick Cave; are their albums as good as the tidbits I've heard across soundtracks?

I like rock best. I don't care for rap, and I hate most country. I do like classical to an extent. Jazz always seemed a bit mellow. It's ok background music, and I don't hate it, but still. I also like J-rock and J-pop. Techno, is ok.
Bands I like include Evanescence, Green Day, HIM, and Smashing Pumpkins.
And about music comming from black communities: Alot of it does, but you may also, if you listen, hear influences from many places. Jazz, rock and rap all came, origionaly, from black communities. Country probably just started out as American Folk songs or may have been sung by Cowboys. Classical came from Europe. I'm not sure about other kinds of music. Techno is usualy said to have come from Europe, but it may have some influences from other music from other countries.
And about rap, for those who hate it and those who like it, alot of kids who listen to rap tend to be far to influenced. The people who sing these songs are paid to pretend they live a lifestyle that they don't. 50 Cent is not in a gang, neither is Snoop Dog. I think alot of it is just too over rated. I mean, it's good to dance to. And those who keep insulting this newer music, all music was at first insulted and considered a bad influence when it came out. Some kids are, unfourtounately, aren't smart enough to know not to imitate everything they see.

I personally find rap offensive. I don't appreciate being refered to as a 'b***h' or whatever. I hope that other women share these oppinions. I'm not being sexist saying that ours is a male dominated world, but these male rappers like 50 Cent are just condoning drugs, rape and other forms of anti-social behavior. A girl in my art class really likes this sort of music and wants to be a 'gangste rapper' when she's older. We often ask her why, but as she mumbles and speaks to quite to be audiable we have no idea what she says, so it's very funny, though we think that she has a game to see how many times she can say '********' in one sentence:p
Anyways, I love classical music, particually Romantic, such as Rachmaninov, Brahms etc. though I have a slight obession with Vivaldi's Four Seasons.
