Amph Favorite Music Genre?

What's your favorite music genre? Personally, I really enjoy country music such as Brad Paisley to Carrie Underwood to Zac Brown Band to George Straight. I also enjoy a little classic rock 'n roll from the 70s/80s like Doobie Brothers, Journey, Boston, Genesis, Eagles, etc.

What about you?

 

i like everything but the stuff you just listed.

 

No need to be rude, man

 

Absolutely love the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis, and lots of English prog in that awesome early seventies era. King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Emerson, Lake & Palmer etc.

 

haha, just messing. lately i've been listening to a lot of fleetwood mac and that seems up your alley. and i love a lot of older country, willie, johnny, waylon, hell even kris. the highwaymen!

 

Ah yes, forgot Fleetwood Mac. My favorite from FM is Don't Stop. Always makes me want to get up and groove lol

 

Other

 

Metal. But I am eclectic.

 

I'm not voting other to be contrarian, but i'd say Britpop. Yes, it was a genre because it combined 60s British invasion, 70s British glam, and 90s British pop.

 

Children's Music

 

For me, it's a mix of extreme metal, instrumental jazz and 70s and 80s film scores (usually involves prog rock / synths etc.)

 

I'd say but you've probably never heard of it.

 

I've been gravitating towards kinda indie folky stuff lately, like sufjan, father john misty, julia holter, angel olsen, the national, jeffrey lewis, that kinda thing.

 

listening-wise, if i HAD to pick a favorite it would be sludge metal and variations thereof
some of my favorite bands/artists include:
boris
melvins
neurosis
mastodon
isis

but my tastes vary wildly outside of that as well. pretty much every variation of rock and metal, electronic, classical, hip hop. fixations come and go in cycles. country is probably the genre i have the most difficulty with

my daily music consumption has dropped dramatically lately. i spend more time listening to podcasts and audiobooks. also trending more towards soundtracks and 'ambient' styles. i think my ears get a bit overloaded from playing with my band (alternative/indie rock) regularly (2 practices a week + 2-3 gigs a month)

i know it's a bit of a cliche, hipster thing to say - but 'genres' have gotten really convoluted and arbitrary. 'guilty pleasures' are bs too

 

Yeah, my musical tastes don't really fall neatly into any "genre" either. Pretty much all over the place (except country music in general). But the genre I would pick overall would just be rock (which to me includes hard rock, metal, classic rock, alternative, etc.).

 

These days jazz is probably broad and meaningless enough to count as my particular genre of choice.

Also jazz:


Probably also jazz, **** it:

 

The stuff I usually listen to tends to fall under trance or EDM, but I'll actively listen to all radio stations in town aside from country and r&b. One word that tends to get tossed around most songs I like is progressive.

DebonaireNerd Examples? I was into a bunch of late 90s britrock, still am to a point.

 

Oasis, Blur, Massive Attack (though this is more trip-hop, but it was bunched in nevertheless), early Radiohead, Travis (post-Britpop), Happy Mondays

 

Yup. Super Furry Animals, Supernaturals, Suede. Pulp. Good stuff.

 

Pulp are great! I love This Is Hardcore.

Also love The Verve and Richard Ashcroft solo.

 

Classical, most of the time. Beethoven, Dvorak, Rossini, Handel, Bach, Vivaldi, Wagner, Brahms, Mahler, Mozart, Haydn, Grieg, Sibelius
