What sort of music do you listen to?

[Danked]

The kind of stuff I listen to has been expanding recently, ever since I started downloading music off of Maynard's FTP. Opening my ears to more variety of music out there. Beyond my hippie music, I have a strong love of jazz and bluegrass. There are strong elements and influences of jazz behind the music of Phish and The Grateful Dead so it's only natural I enjoy it too. Along with some of the classic stuff like Dave Brubeck and Charlie Parker, I listen to more modern jazz like Medeski Martin & Wood. Now there's a pretty dinstinct line between bluegrass and country. While I like bluegrass, I have absolutely no tolerance for country music. Can't stand it, never could. There's something raw and beautiful about all those old mountain tunes though.

[QuickStop]

i like anything that's semi original and doesn't suck balls

[criticslovesnatch]

Just about anything except country

Mostly punk, hardcore, and yes...emo.

[LyricalGomez]

Mostly been blasting rap in my car and listening to classical at home

[Keyser Soze]

johnny cash and willie nelson are the only country i can handle

[Hey Ladi]

hardcore, classic rock, rockabilly, swing, radio pop, chick music ... I like it all

johnny cash might be the only country, and eminem the only rap, but that counts right :5:

[LZMF1]

i listen to practically every genre of music.....

[GonzoStyle]

well hip hop is obvious ofcourse.

My first love was classical, then jazz.

I still listen to both but the biggest influence in my musical variety were the beatles, from them I moved onto lots of other music which was directly influenced by them.

I also love the oldies, sinatra, dean martin, james brown, etc.

I don't really have genres I like, I like everything, anything good. So mostly its I find an artist and then check them out and see their influences and on and on.

[Goatweed]

primarilly Prog Metal, but I'll listen to classic rock/classic metal also. I'll pretty much listen to anything except country music - eeeeewwwwwww :crackhead:

[Is Don on the phone?]

First and formost, I like what is pigeonholed as "alternative rock" - although I wonder what it is an alternative to. I like jazz, started listening in High School when I was trying to become a drummer. I grew up in a house with two country music fans (arrrrrrgh!), but I must admit I like Johnny Cash - if you never heard "One Piece at a Time" or "A Boy Named Sue" you havn't heard country music. BTW, have you heard his cover of NIN's "Hurt?"

[Goatweed]

no, I haven't but I have heard a little of his music - it sounded too country, or at least what I heard did (don't ask me what it was, I don't remember).

[Arpikarhu]

if you took gonzos and sleepers music collections and combined them, my taste in music is the complete opposite.

[GonzoStyle]

so you like country music.

[Arpikarhu]

if its pre-1965

[GonzoStyle]

yeah but if you take what sleeper likes which is the opposite of anything I like, combine it with my tastes then it leaves nothing except for country. I do like Patsy Cline and Johnny Cash though.
