Even if you like 'all kinds of music', is there one kind of music you PARTICULARLY like, above all others?

What do you listen most to?

Rap and Country

Rave related

at the moment i listen to hip-hop the mostest.

but i definitely wouldn't say i listen to "all kinds of music". there are vast areas i have never discovered, and i've always been drawn to particular sounds and styles within the areas i listen to. people who say they listen to "all kinds of music" are usually lying.

Songs about chickens.

― The Huckle-Buck (Horace Mann), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Postpunk and indiepop.

― mike a, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:03 (twenty-two years ago)

ie. within indie and electronic ive always been drawn to dreamy ethereal ambient/shoegazery/slow types. and within hip-hop i have a preference for v.slick production and a liking for wordy mc's.

― weasel diesel (K1l14n), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:10 (twenty-two years ago)

i pretty much divide the year being obsessed with either old psych, dub, or country blues. I go through phases, but they're always the same phases.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Recently I've been listening almost exclusively to post-punk, dream-pop and Nine Inch Nails. More generally, imagine if Ned didn't like Depeche Mode or The Petshop Boys.

― Stupid (Stupid), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:16 (twenty-two years ago)

hip hop and house / techno

― paulhw (paulhw), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

If I was trapped on a desert island, I would be happy to only listen to reggae for the rest of my life.

― sexyDancer, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

If I was trapped on a desert island, so would I. If I was trapped in my bedroom for the rest of my life though, The Cure all the way.

― Stupid (Stupid), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Music based on the sound of electric guitars and a powerful backbeat.

― JP Almeida (JP Almeida), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Music made by between 3 and 5 human beings playing acoustic and/or electric instruments together in real time and evincing advanced listening skills.

Stuff with interesting production. Take that how you will.

verse chorus verse. take that how you will.

what does Electric Six go under? (braces for answer)

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

old timey, because you cannot get that sound anymore. you'd have to rebuild antiquated recording machines from scratch (and likely some or all of the parts). which would cost so much, and for such an obscure purpose, it would never happen. i love that 1930's/40's/even 50's "haze" so much.

― duke mountain, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:51 (twenty-two years ago)

house/disco.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I was thinking about this today, I think I'll get a kick out of a house track without it necessarily being good, say on the radio or something, and I may never listen again but if it has even traces of the stuff that I like in the best stuff.

― Ronan (Ronan), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:53 (twenty-two years ago)

people who say they listen to "all kinds of music" are usually lying.

i would be lying if i said i listen to all kinds of music, but there's virtually no genres i hate (or even dislike) and i acknowledge the possibility that something good can trickle in from anywhere.

genres are weird things; there's so much crossover. the music i like has recurring characteristics, production styles, instruments, and it can be labeled this or that but basically everyone's drinking from the same cup. at any rate: '60s-'80s synth technology is KEWL.

Psychedelia

― Tim Ellison, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

i like nouthall's answer.

― stockholm cindy (Jody Beth Rosen), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:55 (twenty-two years ago)

(xpost) 60s, specifically.

― Tim Ellison, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Not that it's all good, mind you.

New Orleans brass band (it takes the best parts of hip-hop and jazz, in a way)

― Jordan (Jordan), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 21:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Tones. Alternately, beats.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 21:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Salsa and tarab-oriented Arabic music are still the ones I'm most interested in hearing. (But, you know, I do like a lot of other stuff too.)

― Rockist Scientist (rockistscientist), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 21:43 (twenty-two years ago)

balinese bamboo gamelan. no question.

now... stockholm cindy... are you actually from or in stockholm?

― Patrick South (Patrick South), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 22:16 (twenty-two years ago)

What's "bamboo gamelan?" I know that, traditionally, there's a bamboo flute that may be played in a gamelan, but a "bamboo gamelan?"

― Tim Ellison, Wednesday, 21 April 2004 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I particularly like obscure 60s garage psychedelia (and I do *not* mean the Grateful Dead when I say this, Phish kiddies)

and

obscure 80s Garage psych/punkadelia

and

1976-1986 Punk/New Wave

I like other things, but this is the particularly like list.
The particularly "hate" list includes 90% of rap and hip hop and 80% of 70s AOR

― Orbit (Orbit), Wednesday, 21 April 2004 23:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Reggae's not really a fair desert island choice though, cos they incorporate all the different music styles. Does this mean that reggae is the music that's into all kinds of music? That's pretty cool.

What Jon said, though I think he was kidding

― Sym (shmuel), Thursday, 22 April 2004 08:35 (twenty-two years ago)

By and large, anything with overamped guitar commands, like, 69% of my total listening time. Call it heavy metal, but in the all-encompassing Chuck Eddy sense.

The only style of music I've never even made a halfhearted attempt to investigate is opera (it hurts my ears.)

― Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Anything skronky. Or anything I that makes me cry.

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 22 April 2004 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

70's punk and disco and anything that's been influenced by them since.

― Seb (Seb), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)

i keep getting sent indie/lo-fi stuff to listen to. this is good i like a lot of it. just wish i got more hiphop mixtapes like Formats recent set .. stuff like that i could listen to all day. so by choice it would be old shool Hip Hop kinda stuff that i currently like the most.

― mark e (mark e), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

It depends on the weather.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Things with guitars generally....
and things with good drums/beats (be that rock, hip-hop, jazz, glitchy etc)
if its too ambient/acoustic with no drums tend not to like it too much.

I seem to like only a few songs that lack drums/bass

― Mr Monket (apn99), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:51 (twenty-two years ago)

At the moment, 70s reggae. In the past, Krautrock

― Dadaismus (Dada), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

actual answer:it's either on Kranky or sounds like it oughta be

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Thursday, 22 April 2004 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

It depends on the weather.

This is an excellent answer.

me too! what are the odds?
i think it'd have to be early reggae for me.

― oops (Oops), Friday, 23 April 2004 06:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah weather is important.

Sunny island scenario: 70s dub
Rainy city scenario: Detroit techno
