tranz Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 EDM and Prog Rock are long time favs. Link to comment
jiminlogansquare Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I had trouble picking one genre based just on an internalized preference. I applied a little self-behavioral analyses and realized that I actually spend more hours listening to jazz than any other genre, and so that is what I selected. On any given day or part of a day, classical or rock might be my "favorite" insofar as that is what I am in the mood to listen to right then. But if what your question means is, "What genre of music do you listen to most often and for the most hours," then my choice is clear. Link to comment
Jabs1542 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Going down that path I will have to choose rock, though classical and jazz are the other two within the top three.

beetlemania Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Easier to list what I don't listen to: Metal, rap, modern country (the angry genres!) Roon ROCK (Roon 1.7; NUC7i3) > Ayre QB-9 Twenty > Ayre AX-5 Twenty > Thiel CS2.4SE (crossovers rebuilt with Clarity CSA and Multicap RTX caps, Mills MRA-12 resistors; ERSE and Jantzen coils; Cardas binding posts and hookup wire); Cardas and OEM power cables, interconnects, and speaker cables Link to comment
cjf Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I find myself enjoying 80's music the best. Mainly Hair Metal and Pop with a bit Trance sprinkled in when the mood is right. I've gone on a mission to acquire all original recordings from that era which actually have an impressive DR value believe it or not. Seems that era falls in just before the loudness wars started.

esldude Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 No blues? Not R&B just blues. And always keep in mind: Cognitive biases, like seeing optical illusions are a sign of a normally functioning brain. We all have them, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it is something that affects our objective evaluation of reality. Link to comment
PorkChop Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Is Moroccan music "World"? Is it "World" if I live in Morocco? Link to comment
Jud Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 The only music I *don't* find easy to listen to is "easy listening." One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. - Einstein Computer, Audirvana -> optical Ethernet to Fitlet3 -> Fibbr Alpha Optical USB -> iFi NEO iDSD DAC -> Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini (Purifi based) -> Vandersteen 3A Signature.

I guess the real answer is that we like what we like irrespective of genre. George Link to comment
Teresa Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I voted Rock as that is what I enjoy the most, mostly from the 1960's and 1970's. I also like most other genres of music too. I have favorites in every genre of music in this poll except metal, unless you count Led Zeppelin as Metal, then I like something from all of them. I have dementia. I save all my posts in a text file I call Forums. I do a search in that file to find out what I said or did in the past. I still love music. Teresa Link to comment
mayhem13 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 No blues? Not R&B just blues. Rythm AND / OR Blues.............tough crowd! Link to comment
sedest Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Shoegaze is by far my favorite kind of music. Link to comment
mayhem13 Posted February 14, 2015 Author Share Posted February 14, 2015 Me too. I guess the real answer is that we like what we like irrespective of genre. Of course you can over analyze the poll and the choices......you're an audiophile! But at the end of the day, your preference will lie with the music you listen to the most if the choices are free will. Link to comment
jiminlogansquare Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Me too. I guess the real answer is that we like what we like irrespective of genre. Yes. This and a couple of other responses highlight the sometimes Procrustean and frequently dubious results of attempting strictly to categorize music by genre when so much of it will not neatly fit into just one or another. Is Wadada Leo Smith making jazz or classical music? I don't know nor do I care other than the fact that it can be a convenience to pick one in iTunes. We are trained from an early age to be taxonomists and it is a tough habit to break. But what do we gain from it? Sometimes some little benefit; but often it seems a waste of time and mental effort.

AlainGr Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 My favorite music is Rock, but as I advance in time I have discovered some World music, especially Celtic music. All depends on the mood of the moment. Alain Link to comment

Teresa, I was\am a huge fan of Page, Plant and the boys. People seemed to always classify them under the heavy metal moniker but I always thought of them as Blues Rockers. Although based on the number of Blues Artists that came after them for plagerism violations maybe we should stick with heavy metal..

Blues Rock for Led Zeppelin yes A guitarist I really like is Robin Trower. Though some albums were not on par with what he did in his beginnings, there are recent albums in which he still have "this sound". Heavy Blues Rock... Alain Link to comment

Alain, I saw Robin at the Los Angeles Coliseum in the late 70s as the opening act for Jethro Tull. He was really good and might have outdone Tull in my mind. Great guitarist.

AlainGr Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Jethro Tull and Robin Trower, all in the same night... Wish I would have been there... The first song I heard from each of them was "Caledonia" from Robin Trower, and "A New Day Yesterday" from Jethro Tull... Edit: This is where (when) I started to destroy my hearing Alain Link to comment
elcorso Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I voted "Other" because I like very much Belly Dance music, but could be classified in "World" maybe. I began to learn about to this music thanks to my former wife: Then I moved faster to a more modern Belly Piazzolla music, maybe you guess why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3X3PlDMJaHM Cheers!

Stereolab42 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Rock (alt and prog, late '60s to now) Metal (extreme, none of that wussy hair or power *#&$) Electronic (drum&bass, trance, oldskool hardcore, dubstep) Goth/Darkwave (loosely defined - Dead Can Dance, Siouxsie, Kate Bush, Depeche Mode, Grimes, etc.) Hip-Hop (all types, '80s to now) +anything else in ANY genre that I hear and like, from bluegrass to Lyn Stanley singing '50s stuff Link to comment
