R&P: How diverse is your taste in music?

Question

R&P: How diverse is your taste in music?

Answer 1

All of the music I listen to is basically from the same era, the 60's 70's 80's and SOME 90's. The only modern song on my iPod is "Soul Sister"- Train



The genres on my iPod are:



Rock (basically classic rock artists, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Beatles, Pearl Jam, Clapton, CSN&Y Rolling Stones, The Dead, Soundgarden etc..)



Pop (Elton John and Carole King)



Alternative & Punk (The Toadies)



R & B (The Jackson 5)



Metal (Black Sabbath)



BQ1: Uh, sure...

BQ2: Country

BQ3: are those song lyrics?

BQ4: No, I LOVe music, but I can't carry a tune for my life and I can't keep a beat! I play the Kazoo (horribly)

Answer 2

I'd say I'm diverse, but I do tend to stick mostly to a particular sound. I'm a big fan of Classic Rock, from the more psychedelic stuff (Led Zeppelin, The Jimi Hendrix Experience), to the more harder and faster stuff, (AC/DC, Motorhead).



I'm also a big fan of old school Punk like The Clash, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, etc, etc. And I've delved into Metal a bit with Metallica.



I do honestly think that most modern Music is crap because Music is made with instruments and not computers, and modern Pop Music tends to promote things like Hyper-sexulization, shallowness, disrespecting women, drugs, etc. I do find the occasional gem in modern music where the artists still use instruments to make Music, (Muse, Gorillaz).



Also Flogging Molly is one of my favorite band, I think they fall into the Punk category.





BA1 : Wat.

BA2 : Modern Pop - Gangster Rap

BA3 : Not if you're good at it.

BA4 : I'd like to learn Bass.

Answer 3

1. I am so old and my taste is so diverse that I don't even know what sub genres are if it sounds good it is good, it all just rock or soul to me, my son a professional musician and recording engineer as well as director of multi media in a very very large hotel say I have one of the craziest and diverse taste in music he has seen I read a lot of British music magazines and look for new stuff all the time.



Everything from Mozart to Empire of the Sun



BQ1 No

BQ 2 So called Modern Country or Country Pop

BQ 3 If that is you fate

BQ 4 Drums, Harmonica, Vocals. I can still imitate quite a few singers

Answer 4

Heavy Metal- Metallica, Megadeth, Black Sabbath

Metalcore- Devil Wears Prada, As I lay Dying, Haste the Day

Melodic Death Metal- All that Remains

Hard Rock- AC/DC, Deep Purple

Grunge- Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana

Hip-Hop(Favorite)- Nas, Atmosphere, 2Pac, Immortal Technique, Madvillain, Rakim



BQ1: No

BQ2: Mainstream Pop/Rap, gives a lot of Hip-Hop a bad rep.

BQ3:Not if your nice.

BQ4: Drums

Answer 5

Blues - Buddy Guy and B.B. King, Funk - James Brown and Parliament, Soul - Ike and Tina, Jazz - Miles Davis, 50s rock - Chuck Berry, Folk rock - the Animals, Blues rock - the Rolling Stones Psychedelic rock - Jimi Hendrix, Hard rock - Aerosmith, Southern rock - Allman Brothers Band, Glam rock - David Bowie, Heavy metal - Black Sabbath, Hair metal - Motley Crue, Punk - the Ramones, Grunge - Soundgarden, Funk rock - RCHP, Ska rock - Sublime, Alt rock - Pearl Jam, Jam rock Phish, Country rock - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Prog rock - Rush, Power pop - the Kinks, and New Wave - Blondie.

That covers most of it.



BQ1: It depends on what it is.

BQ2: Rap. I heard a Lil Wayne song yesterday, and it triggered a puke taste in my mouth.

BQ3: Sure.

BQ4: Acoustic and Electric guitar. I played piano for a long time too.

Answer 6

Art Rock/Experimental Rock/Progressive Rock (Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Velvet Underground)

Classical Rock (Beatles, The Who, Moody Blues, a whole bunch more)

Hip Hop/Rap (yeah I know, no way) (Outkast, Eminem, Ludacris)

Metal (Dream Theater)

Pop (Katy Perry, Lady Gaga)

Reggae (Bob Marley)

Orchestral (Beethoven, Phillip Glass)



This is of course, partly made out of things I listen to on a daily basis and partly of things I listen to every once in a while. In addition, many of these artists (and for some, I use "artist" very loosely) experiment with other genres in some of their songs, which I absolutely love.



BQ1: No homo. And this better not me a song lyrics :P

BQ2: Mainstream, shitty rap (Drake/Lil Wayne/50 Cent), pretentious **** (non-Dream Theater Metal, all Punk and Grunge.

Answer 12

I'm pretty sure almost everyone thinks that their taste is diverse, because they listen to virtually every genre that they're aware of, except the ones that suck, like y'know, rap and country and R&B and techno and p*ssy indie sh*t.



I mean, people have listed like twenty different genres or artists designed to show diversity, and none of them really get more than a step outside of rock.



This is all the music I've rated on RYM (a lot of it that I don't own is cataloged as owned, but ignore that): http://rateyourmusic.com/~RodrickRamrod

BQ: I'm assuming that this isn't a "tell me watcha want, watcha really really want" reference

2: No

3: I'm assuming this still isn't a "tell me watcha want, watcha really really want" reference

Answer 18

my music is not very diverse. i dont see why anybody would listen to anything but metal. it is the most exciting, powerful, motivational music there is. it is the best by far. all this new rock music and different genres of rock owe it all to metal going back to the late 60's. metal started it all. that's a fact. most of the rock/pop/country stars today say they were influenced by ozzy, hair metal, led zeppelin, aerosmith or some other hard rock band.
