What kind of music do you listen to most often?

Question is somewhat self explanatory - There is an option for those of you who just happen to listen to all genres of music in exactly equal proportions. I of course can't add every genre so I'll just add what i consider the most popular.

note: House/Trance/Dance are to be included in the electronic category.

Favourite artists/bands are also welcome!

It's because i'm not really interested in those who don't have a related opinion :o) Like throwing two different kinds of rubbish in the same bin instead of having two bins.

guess you dont like RnB/hiphop :DDDDDDDDDDDD
Parent
No, not really :p
Parent
ruoska > * :D
Parent
Haha, that's crap :p
Parent
Most metal is crap ... with all respect but its hard finding any musical value to songs made by killing guitars and screaming you're gonna fuck somebodies mother ...

At least hiphop got rhymes although the lyrics are usually on the same level if you ask me. I can enjoy a few of the bigger groups, metalica, rage against the machine, guns 'n roses (old i know) and just a couple of songs I actually like.

I did listen to black metal shit, but I allways thought that was just me being 14 and really naive :)
Parent
if marilyn manson is metal, i still play et
Parent
I agree that there's a lot of shit metal. But there's good stuff as well, like in almost every genre. You just have to be selective. About hiphop.. for me the most important aspect in good music has always been good melodies which is why I don't really care about that talkshow stuff.

Anyway.. I'm not metal only, that'd be boring. Listening to a lot of electronic stuff as well as some pop, punk, random rock, even some 70's and 80's stuff. Trying to find good music regardless of the genres.

About lyrics.. unless you count some freaky black metal stuff and such, I'd say metal has a lot higher standards than hip hop in general :p
Parent
depends on what kinda rap/hiphop youre listening. There is (atleast in NL) enough hiphop that isnt only about bitches, money and their big ass guns, and i really think those guys bring a far better message into this world then some good metal bands, there arent any standards in any kind of music imo, only what ppl like and dislike.
Parent
Well yea, my experience of hiphop is mostly limited to the mainstream stuff.
Parent
yeah, thats the problem for 99% of the people that dont like rap/hiphop -_-
Parent
Well.. like I said. It's not the lyrics, but rather the lack of diverse melodies in hip hop generally. I listen to music because of the music, not because of the lyrics. Dunno if that's the case for 99% of hip hop "haters" then.
Parent
i can give you pretty cool hiphop beats that are far from the regular gangster stuff around, but its dutch so you wont understand shit anyway :P its pretty electronic and some stuff has alot of instruments even sometimes.
Parent
Of course I can check them out, don't think that'll make me a great hip hop fan anyway. :>
Parent
hahaha, thats not what i wanna do, just want to inform people that it isnt only 50cent gangsta, bitches and ho's shit ;)
Parent
1000% agree, if it sounds good the lyrics doesn't matter :o)
Parent
I guess I suffer from the same issue when i try out metal etc :)
Parent
Surely I can recommend you some of my favourite stuff if you wish. ;)

p.s. I'm not 14 and I don't listen to black metal :pp
Parent
nah lol, it was prolly just me wearing black and listening to hard rock and punk when i was a kid :')
Parent
wtf is wrong with black metal and why the hate? old late 80s/early 90s blackmetal stuff is lame/retarded to most (but so is rap tbh, only rap got better production) but it progressed to something impressive in the last 10-15 years (to me black metal is as rich as classical music qua music, even if it seems cheasy and dumb and the vocals are just weird for some groups, only that for some bands the vocals are just another instrument), you just need to know which albums to download/buy, as they are not all good/okayish. i recommend from black metal for example (ok maybe too many xD):

bathory
blut aus nord
burzum (Hvis Lyset Tar Oss especially)
darkestrah
darkspace
deathspell omega
drudkh
emperor
fanisk
farsot
graveland
immortal
keep of kalessin
krohm
kvist
leviathan
lunar aurora
mayhem (only de mysteriis dom sathanas, i dont really like the rest)
nae'blis
nagelfar
negura bunget
nehemah
rotting christ
shining
summoning
taake
the austrasian goat
the ruins of beverast (HIGHLY recommended)
weakling
windir
wolves in the throne room
xasthur

try them and if you dont like them (which i think you will, given your lastfm chart), well maybe start listening to rap then =)

and btw this comes from the guy who listens to anything as long as its not emo/screamo/rap/hiphop/pop
Parent
I don't hate it, I just don't like it. That's just not kinda my cup of tea, musically and especially ideologically. And I'm not gonna start listening to rap either, no way. Dunno from where you came up with that? :p
Parent
melodic death metal > all
Parent
Classical mostly.
In fact I listen to many kinds of music, so it's easier to ask me what am I listening to atm.

Parent
Amy Whinehouse and LEGEND do not compute. AHHHH MUSICAL SYSTEM FAILLLL.

Nah I'm just kidding, I like Amy but there are others that don't and until everybody ( majority ) of people do I won't consider her a legend. But good choice, James Brown is the man!


WOAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH OVERDRIVE FEELS GOOD.
Parent
I hardly listen to the radio unless im driving and I only discovered her music recently :) Ofc i knew her as the drugs troubled girl with way too much eyeshade, but she got a fucking amazingtasticular voice. I wouldnt consider amy a legend yet, she got an amazing voice, guess i jsut put her there as i'm listening to her cd a lot as of late.
Parent

Idlewild, ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Editors, Muse, Radiohead, Blood Red Shoes, The Subways, The Films, The Cooper Temple Clause, Jimmy Eat World, The Dandy Warhols, Seafood, Interpol, Elefant and many more. indie rock / alt. rock / electronica all the way.

Mostly electronic and hip-hop. Not the recent mainstream shitty hip-hop though. Also I listen a lot of "alternative" french hip-hop. Same goes for electronic in fact.
hit me with some french stuff pl0x, maybe theres something new for me ;D
Parent
Klub des Loosers, L'Atelier, TTC, Le Klub des 7, Svinkels, La Caution, Omnikrom (some electro rap/crunk from Québec), Roi Heenok (of course, also from Québec).
There's some more but these are the ones I listen the most / I like the most.
Parent
rock at 60-70-80's and some random rap & hiphop :>
Many metal genres ex. Death,Black,Melodic death,Folk, Viking etc
Typical Finnish (that's not a bad thing - Finnish metal and symphonic rock is awesome)
Parent
Rock, classical, metal, pop, r&b/rap/hip-hop in that order. Don't really listen to electronic or dance stuff except when driving, and I don't have a car atm.

(np: Nightwish - Ghost Love Score)
The point is that you choose the one that you listen to more than the others. If you don't listen to one more than the others, you take the first option. It's not that complicated. Then again you are feeble minded aren't you.
I'm on the french rap trip. NTM, IAM, Disiz La Peste, Ärsenik. Normally I listen to stuff like Jedi Mind Tricks, Nas, Non Phixion, Immortal Technique or Pendulum, High Contrast, Justice. It really depends on my mood, Charts can be cool too :)
star flam , magic system ?
Parent
what language and type of music are they? atleast I haven't heard of em, will give them a try :) thx
Parent
french rnb
Parent
Rap/Hip hop/R&B, ofcourse : )
everything but rap/hip hop goes, but mostly rock
All. Mostly Scouse House ( local ), RnB, Punk/Metal. :-)
I listen to beautiful music, where's that button?

(= Various kinds of metal, prefer progressive though, jazz, blues, classical)
rap/hippi hoppia
punkrock/rap/nu metal/ trance
Rock & shanties :))
House, rock,
Electronic is too wide.

I highly doubt for instance you can compare The Album Leaf or Portugal. The Man with 1200 Micrograms or Juno Reactor. ;_;

Voted classical because it's the most elitist of all the options and because I feel like skewing your poll results with bullshit results. Still waiting for "Anything with less than 500 plays on lastfm"

shhhhhh
Meez, OH MY GOD
Parent
FUCK THE SYSTEM
Parent
yeah, WOO! your 1 vote for the least chosen selection has really turned this poll upside down
Parent

imo its more like 60% of crossfire is mentally retarded ;p
Parent
flaming someone for his musical tastes just because you don't like this kind of music is indeed pretty retarded from your side . And btw 23% for rap/hip-hop/rnb so, they must be lot of stupid people here on crossfire :D .
Parent
"they must be lot of stupid people here on crossfire :D ."
Is this... surprising..?
Parent
It's for niggazz, and no I'm not a racist. That's just how it is.
Parent

Parent
Yeah, and a shitty one at that, too.
Parent
BACH and MOZART RULLEZ! Great music <3
Parent
wheres the DNB option? i dont wanna vote for electronic since trance is electronic
classical
psytrance >_>
All genres, newer hiphop/rap I don't listen. And from the electronic genre only DnB and Ambient(Mark Morgan, Russell Shaw, and such). Mostly metal, I prefer oldskool type of metal, not metal where you can't hear the lyrics, or skill.
Mostly metal, a lot of classical, been listening to punk/hardcore music 11 years, like some hardstyle, but voted metalz
metal sucks more than your mom and she's fuckin insane
techno/rap
I feel bad for deaf people.
I bet perfo took Classical.
electro, techno, house, minimal
You should add Polka.

START WEARING PURPLE, WEARING PURPLE. START WEARING PURPLE FOR ME NOW!
indie punk punkrock
Electronic music almost all the way, but I'm a friend of any music that sounds good.

Right now I recommend Supperclub's Lounge mixes, best music to relax with.
trance 4ever!
electro/house

need turbo folk option for balkan people
Metal, doom and death to be more specific
dont c dnb :(
Rap/Hip hop/R&B & Electronic
Please.. where the fuck is techno, trance, house, dnb? :D
image: 8_SaveTheWhale
image: 8_SaveTheWhale


i'm wondering, is this musickum graph based on number of artists or number of plays?

like:

listen 3 times to a popsong from a popartist
listen 2 times to a metalsong from a metalgroup

-> pop: 60%, metal: 40%
or
-> pop & metal: 50%
Music i listen must have complicated melodies and I just can't find them anywhere else but metal and electronical music (and ofc classical).
Most Rap/R&B/Pop -songs and mainstream music generally have only simple melodies without any intelligence.

Imo good song has this ability: the more you listen it, the better it sounds.
listen with your body too instead of with your head ;o(

like, less is often more.
Parent
R&B FO SHIEZ
Rap, Hip-hop and R&B are different :(
They are totally diffirent to be honest.
Parent
Blank & Jones - trance
Coldplay - alternative rock
electronic, preferably with acoustic instruments, tho most of the listed genres have electronic elements in it. pop, rnb without electronic sound = er nothing?
Electronic has almost a quarted of all votes... rofl... keep on eating mushrooms from different forrests!
trance
Metal, hiphop, goa
Metal, Rock, Punk
i listen to everithing as long as its not retards screaming
SLIPKNOT! 4ever
grime / rap
If the question is about music - why the hell there is electronic & hip-hop choice? o_O
metal, classical one preferred. in my opinion a combination of these two is the way in to the perfection. so yea, mostly metal, but also some trance & rock & pure classical etc.
where is option everything

oh shit, it was included in the first option :<
indie/alternative/post/progressive rock and electro mostly.
the only genre i can't really stand is hiphop :x

edit: i also love trve avante-garde norwegian necroizante necro-black metal
Metalcore <3

Parent
I'd like my metal loud and melodic, please
In Flames<3 Breaking Benjamin<3 Kamelot<3 and some random :)
basically anything except gangster rap.
What? So 'rock' gets two categories but you throw anything electronic under one category. Seems rather weird.

Trance, techno and hard dance. I also listen to chill out and music which I guess you could put under classical sometimes. I like listening to some '80s music sometimes as well.
Rap/Hip hop/R&B:
and Electro
Anything & Everything! but NOT happy hardcore or pop for that matter >.<
nice poll, voted Tiesto
Satanic Death Metal
shitty poll, i listen to House/club music :)
really shitty poll, wheres drum and bass, jungle, reggae etc?
Metal mostly, but pretty much anything goes.

where is indie? ska? punk? hardcore? reggae?
POP/ROCK

Indica,Irina, Natasha Bedingfield,Rihanna and so on
metal 666
but nowadays more punk & rock too
metal, rock,dance, bit of punk, some classical, basically everything except rnb & rap.
