My favorites are country, techno and classical. I can tolerate most others except for rap and weird ethnic stuff.

I cant stand any hip-hop and barely and rap. I only like some hardcore or "Rock-Rap"
Pop is gross though. Its insulting to real music

I hated Grunge, other than Alice In Chains. Some punk music sucks (like the huge posers called the Sex Pistols), but some is great (like The Ramones).

How the hell are the Sex Pistols posers? Emo "pop-punk" bands like Fallout Boy are posers. The Sex Pistols are one of the founders of Punk in the UK.
And when it comes to grunge how could you hate Nervana!?

The Sex Pistols were posers because they hired Sid Vicious as a bassist even though he couldn't play for shit, simply because he looked and acted like a punk rocker. Style over substance. :bugeye:

And I never really cared for Nirvana. No specific reason other than that their music just didn't do anything for me.

That was the beauty of Punk. You didnt have to play perfect, it wasnt about substance or style. He wanted to play bass for a punk band, so he did.

So, it's not poserish to hire someone incompetent simply because they look cool? Vicious was basically a punk rock fan rather than a punk rock musician. He seems to fit the definition of "poser" pretty well. :shrug:

It had nothing to do with him 'looking cool.'
And he could play 'Punk Bass.'
The point of Punk Rock isnt to have a catchy tune or submit to sounding good to the majorty (such as Pop music) it is ment to cause thinking in fellow Punkers about what they believe and how to handle people that try bringing them into conformity. Aswell as to protest anything that the Punker disagrees with, politicaly or otherwise

You need a catchy tune otherwise no one will remember it or really like it. But punk has many 'catchy tunes'. I dont think they refer to them as catchy though, probably 'hooks'.
 
My favorite music is:

Blues
Metal
Grunge
Punk (maybe three or four bands)
Classical

In that order.

These days i really like new blues bands, many dont even have youtube links. I never could get into Jazz. It's just too uncoordinated sounding and like a jam and i need some kind of order. Maybe havent heard the right stuff.
 
My favorite music was Classic Rock AND the Metal that real metal lovers hate..Ya know, the metal that's not really metal at all. Blues driven and groove oriented.

COC,
Pantera,
(Late) Sepultura,
Ministry,
(old) Metallica,
Clutch,
(old) Alice in Chains,
Tool,
The Melvins
Etc.

Unfortunately these bands were emulated so much that now we're stuck with the hopelessly indistinguishable offspring that's now being touted as Modern Rock which I NEVER listen to.
Please, if anyone knows of any new interesting groove oriented rock stuff I'd LOVE to check it out.

Also, love big blues rock outfits like Pink Floyd.

Just give me something that ROCKS, already! Please!

I was sure you were a rocker. You listed nine different varieties of rock and roll, but you listed both "classical" and "jazz" as if there's only one type of each, so anybody who likes it must like it all!

As a musician (bass guitar) I don't have one favorite type of music, but I do have several.
  • The progressive/art rock of the 1970s. Many bands had one good album in that genre and then as the movement faded they contented themselves with playing ditties. Kansas's "Leftoverture," Supertramp's "Crime of the Century," Pretty Things' "Silk Torpedo," Jethro Tull's "Aqualung," Patti Smith's "Radio Ethiopia," Renaissance's "Novella," Be-Bop Deluxe's "Sunburst Finish," Gentle Giant's "Free Hand," Nektar's "Recycled," Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon," Sally Oldfield's "Water Bearer," U.K.'s one and only album... that music is so rich that I still hear something new every time I play it. A few bands specialized in it and made several good albums, including Yes, Genesis, the Strawbs, Rush, King Crimson. The latter two are still out there bravely hanging on. Dream Theater came along later and is doing a find job of carrying the torch. Their music would not be out of place in a 70's set, but it s definitely updated. And I love Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry but he barely fits this category.
  • Heavy metal. The original stuff: Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin. And a few of the later groups: Metallica, Def Leppard, the Cult, GnR, Type O Negative. Not much into speed and thrash. I still like "Smoke on the Water" and "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida." Even "Sunshine of Your Love," as far as I'm concerned that was the first heavy metal hit song.
  • Infrared Metal. I don't know what the critics call it, but it's basically heavy metal with the low register accentuated. Korn, Tool, etc.
  • Girl singers. I'm a hopeless junkie for a female voice on a good song with a rich production. Sandy Denny, Judy Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Heart, Concrete Blonde, Jonatha Brooke, Tanita Tikaram, Alana Davis, Sarah Bareilles, Loreena McKennitt, Sara McLachlan, Beth Hart, Alanis Morissette, Charlotte Martin, Lucie Silvas, Sass Jordan... this list truly is endless.
  • 80's synth-pop. The Thompson Twins, Duran Duran, Madonna, the Fixx, Depeche Mode, etc. When our cable company finally got MTV in 1981 we watched it all night every night for three weeks.
  • Modern "classical" music, which is an oxymoron. Symphonies and concertos not much older than the late 19th century. Especially the Russian composers. My four favorite compositions are Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade," Ralph Vaughan Williams's "The Lark Ascending," Richard Strauss's "Metamorphosen" and Ravel's "Bolero." Amazingly, I've seen dynamite live performances of all but Bolero! I just finally saw "Scheherazade" two weeks ago, done exquisitely by a Russian orchestra, and the violin soloist really set the place on fire.
  • I also like chamber music. The Smithsonian's National Gallery of Art puts on a free concert every Sunday evening, always a small group or a solo piano. I go to most of them, not knowing enough about "classical" music to have any idea what to expect, and I'm pleasantly surprised more often than not. They do a lot of modern stuff.
  • My own band. I learned fifty years ago that the music I like to listen to and the music I like to play are not necessarily the same music. My current band does a few originals and a lot of covers that we've taken ownership of and play differently. Like "Purple Haze" on acoustic guitars and a rockabilly version of Boston's "Peace of Mind." It's not the kind of music that's going to get us booked at the big clubs, but we play a lot of parties and both we and the audience have a good time. My last band played all originals. They were really good songs, we played them well, and we had a small dedicated following who managed to show up at every performance. But the band had two singer-songwriters and that's always a formula for disaster. Eventually they got on each other's nerves so badly that the band disintegrated. Unfortunately it was on the same night that the owner of good club in Virginia offered us a monthly gig on a Friday night! That was sad.
