I guess this question is a little bit different in how it's worded. Usually, endless users start a thread asking what CDs are your favorite or who your fav artists are. As for types of music...

I grew up in a music melting pot of a family. My father listened to classical, opera and big band jazz. My mother listened to country, soft rock and '50s bubble-gum pop. And my sister listened to whatever hardrock, new-wave and pop was on the radio in the '80s.

So, because of my sister's boyfriends' listening habits, I grew into a metal-head, prefering glam-rock, classic metal and death/speed-metal. Then of course, '90s grunge came and blew me into freakdom, so, to make a longer story short...

I listen to primarily hardrock and metal, all genres old and new. But I will buy the occassional pop/rave CD and have grown into modern country music. I have a small assortment of classical and piano; no opera! Progressive music is big for me, whether classic prog-rock of the '60s/70s or modern prog-metal made popular by Dream Theater in the '90s.

hmmm. cool i like rock music, house freestyle, some rap. the type where they dont rap about i took a dam glock and shove it up your mouth. I like rap that is mixed with r+b with a little flavor. the rap that makes sense, it has a beat, everyone has tastes. i like metal, grunge, some country, it all depends on the style, and the mood i am feeling. i like slow music, jazz, lets see classical, if its in the *time where i am in the mood of it*. all music is based on personal preferences, i like alternative. rok and roll is good. old school and i mean back in the 80s 70s or when ever. shoot it can even be music back in the 50s, which is not my age group. It has to do with more or less, a feel for the music. and the temperment, and mood. he he.. i like all types of music.

That is a very true statement for many people, but especially for those with an open-enough mind to actually "listen" to music outside their usual tastes.

I can like music from any genre if there is something about it that moves you, either emotionally or physically. If a grand beat has your body moving even when you crammed in your car, there is something there you like. If an instrumental piece of music has you stop, listen and feeling the emotion of the musicians playing it, then there is something there you can't stop listening to.

I'll agree with past comments mood does affect music. For growing up in Tx i listened to quieta variety from country to classical to classical rock. So my tastes tend to blend a lot. Right now i am into the Rock scene a lot and starting to get into Techno. I really like Techno more now because it kinda breaks the rules of what has been perceived as pop music for the past oh 70 years or so. It doesn't have to necessarily repeat itself and it always seems to be evolving and sometimes your mood can evolve with the music. It's kinda freeing at times. I really also like rock artists that splash their music with some orchestra except Metallica heh but i really like what Silverchair did on Neon Ballroom.I also tend to like some more edgy industrial rock . The problem is not a lot of good stuff has surfaced lately in that genre so i'm always search ( any suggestions would be great). My tastes are pretty general i can chill with Beethoven yet jam some NIN. My problem lately is jsut how uncreative some artists have become and how these pop sensations can't even write their own lyrics. The lack of talent in pop music sometimes disturbs me.

I prefer rock of all kinds, from 50's rockabilly to thrash. For me, all styles of music are great, it's just searching for the best of each style to listen to and enjoy.

As for the current pop charts, they certaintly are dead in terms of creativity and originality. Only Pink, Vanessa Carlton, Sheryl Crow, Jimmy Eat World, and Eminem really stand out on the charts I think. Everything else is basically the same old rap or alt-metal.

Let me see... this week on the Billboard Hot 100, 5 of the top 10 singles are rap/hip-hop, 1 alt-metal, 2 adult contemporary, and 1 emo.

Further down the charts there are even more rap singles, and the artists themselves don't stand out from the crowd.

As far as artists are concerned, they haven't always been making their own music. Back in the 60's there were the Brill Building songwriters, and also remember Motown? Most of those songs were not written by the performers themselves. The music was not bad, either. Unlike today, where the record companies re-hash and recycle the same rap garbage and then want people to buy the records. I'm not saying rap is bad, but there is no creativity these days (Eminem perhaps the exception).

So what I'm wondering is when will there be another breakthrough? Maybe an accessable variation of techno will someday see the light. Who knows.

HEAVY METAL is always my fave, but ive grown to like more electronic groups like the crystal method, prodigy, etc.

I am into electroprogsurftechnorock. You will not find me looking through Billboard for new bands. Music is alive and well. There is so much good old and new music out there (and the price is right) experiment with new sounds. Want to hear a killer new female voice try Morcheeba, driving wild techno-system 7 or thievery corporation. Killer progrock-Transatlantic or porcupine tree.

[riderx]

roger d could you please list some of the bands that fall under electroprogsurftechnorock I would like to check them out, :cross


also right on with Morcheeba anyone interested just check out Part of the Process an extremely cool down tempo chill tune.

[roger d]

of course there are no bands that fall under this theme. I can create this environment with musicmatch jukebox by adding the sum of the parts. The closed song I have run into is "Wipeout (2000)" by Gary Hoey and Donavon Frankerelter off of the MOM, music for mother ocean cd. "DRUB" by the mermen is close.
My point is you do not have to be traped by "clear chanel" radio narrowscan nor by what the "industry" wants you to listen to. The whole world of music is at our fingertips. Our challenge is learning how to play.
