Favorite Type of music Genre?

[DreamRyche2112]

What are your guys/girls favorite type of music genre..... be specific but not too specific. Mine would have to be....

Proggresive Metal ( Queensryche, Dream Theater, Kings X, Symphony X)
Progessive Rock ( Rush, Kansas, Big Wreck
Grunge ( Stone temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden)
Classic Rock ( nothin like those oldies... Lynard Skynard, Zeppelin, Doobie Brothers, 38 Special)

[sambob]

I basically tend to like anything that really pushes the limits of a genre.

Fusion, progrock, prog metal, trip hop, hard swing, yeah. Good stuff.

I mean, I have a mixtape of John Coltrane, Miles Davis (late 60s material), and Rush in my tape deck right now, so who knows :P

This is the wrong thread for this, but I'll answer anyways. Indie rock, alternative rock, classic rock, blues, swing, and old school jazz.

[Tele Master]

Classic Rock, Blues

[Seve420]

Prog Rock (Pink Floyd, Tool, Cog)
Prog Metal (Dream Theater, Symphony X, Opeth)
Classical (Bach, Paganini)
Neo-Classical Shred (Joe Stump)
Classic Rock (Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd)

I also like songs/bands that are in genres that I don't particularly listen to or like, such as:

Ambient DnB (Aphex Twin)
Hip-Hop, not rapping but mixing records (Katalyst [the only known artist to have a good remix album], Dynamo Productions)
Psychedelic Rock (some Oasis, Radiohead [before the mindless wailing and moaning], Gelbison, Deloris)
Speed Metal (Slayer)
Bluegrass (Hellecasters)
Grindcore (Pig Destroyer, Blood Duster [perhaps better described as porngroove metal])
Punk Rock (The one song by Frenzal Rhomb, 'Russel Crowe's Band'. A very funny, short song. It even has a solo although it's just a simple pentatonic one.)

I could go on about bands that are hard to categorise into genres like Opeth who have a definate death metal sound with the deep growls, heavy distorted riffs and double kick beats but also have wonderful, slow accoustic parts and great, soft singing in many songs that sounds completely opposite to the typical death metal band, such as Cannibal Corpse.

Then there's Tripod who seem quite unique. They're mainly just put into 'Comedy', which doesn't really give them recognition as a band, being grouped in together with funny movie and TV quotes and stand up comedians. They also make many of their songs within an hour. On Triple J (a radio station) they are given three/four/five things to base the song on and given an hour to make it including these things. They are also accoustic so would they be defined as 'Song In An Hour Accoustic Comedy'?

They sterilize needles for lethal injections because they don't want you to go to hell AND have a cold.

I actually found out at a hospital, during work experience, that they rub alcohol onto the arm, not just to sterilize, but because the vein widens and comes closer to the surface. It's then easier to inject.

I guess I should change my signature to another unanswered question.

Mostly I'm into alternative and indie. My two fav groups are Radiohead and The Pumpkins but i like alot of other genre too. Stuff like rap-rock (Rage), classic rock (Zepplin, Queen) as well as grunge (Pearl Jam, Nirvana) and goth (just starting getting into HIM).

Basicly i like all music, except metal or speed stuff, which puts me apart from just about everyone else here. Anyway...

Not me I don't like speed metal... I don't get it. I used to like Radiohead, but now I think they're kind of... fake. They are either trying too hard to be original and abstract, or they're just not trying at all.
