What kind of music do you guys like to listen to?

Postby Matthewtheman » Wed Aug 13, 2014 12:14 pm

My favorite genre is definitely rock. And not a specific type of Rock, just rock music in general, as I enjoy all of its many subgenres, including soft rock, hard rock, heavy metal, alternative rock, etc. I even like country rock and rap rock, despite country and rap being my least favorite music genres. My favorite band is definitely the Beatles, and by far. I love almost all of their songs, and I listen to them often. What about you guys?

Ah, I love when these threads pop up. Music is the one thing in life I love more than bondage.

My main musical focus is heavy metal, specifically thrash and death metal. I could list you ALOT of metal bands I love, but chances are if you can think of a metal band (and I mean METAL), then I love em.

That said, I can appreciate and enjoy almost anything under the "rock" umbrella, like classics like The Beatles and Pink Floyd. It's the stuff that doesn't have musical instruments (rap, electronic, etc.) that I not only dislike, but struggle to see any musical value in it.

I've played guitar for over 15 years now. I play in a metal band named Profaner. If you feel so inclined, you can find our stuff on YouTube.

I like rock and roll too especially the stuff from the 60's and 70's, I am also into alternative rock and even some indie rock but overall my most favorite is hip hop and rap and I guess I love that so much because I grew up in a city where hip hop and rap was and still is heavily popular. I love most things that are from the hip hop and rap genre but I mostly prefer the classics part of hip hop, not to say the modern stuff is bad but there is something about the classics that speaks to me I guess lol, heck I even listen to gangsta rap but like I said I prefer old school gangsta rap because back then it was actually suppose to be about the struggles of living in the hood and the reason why some youths have a gangster personality whereas of course things are different sad to say. Still though I guess for hip hop and rap I do not have an exact favorite group but I do like NWA, Big Pun, Nas, Big L, and a few more but actually. But I also have other favorite genres such R&B, reggae, soul, funk, jazz, the blues, I will even give Heavy Metal and Punk a try but I do not really listen to them all that much, country rarely but if it is good I will listen.

Oh, and seeing as you have a penchant for epic power metal, you should check out Crimson Shadows (they have stuff on YouTube). They are friends of mine from here in Canada and are really making a name for themselves, they are even gearing up for a European tour. Their music is shredtastic power metal, with death metal vocals. Killer stuff.
