There's a thread already on the music genre(s) you HATE, but, like the thread title says, what's your FAVORITE music genre? (I simply used the same 12 genres listed in that thread; to highlight the mirror).
Your FAVORITE Music Genre

Hahaha. Couldn't in the other thread you could pick more than one? Well anyway I picked metal because that seems to be the genre that I listen to the most.

You could. However, people tend to love 1 particular music genre over the rest–even if by very little; hence the single choice.
-
Metal, easily. It gives me an out of body experience almost when it's really at its best. But a lot of it can sound really samey, unfortunately. I usually tend to favor fun over technicality but in music it seems to be the exact opposite. I'm not well-versed in music at all though, will be a long time before I decide to have a go at that.
Lately though I have been listening to trip-hop though, and I really like it. I'll find an example later.
-
I can't vote. I literally can't. If I really HAD to I suppose it'd be rock since that's what got me into music so much in the first place and made me become a musician.
-
The kind of choice that is impossible for me. Picking sub-genres is easier. I picked hip-hop anyway just because of my level of intimacy with it.
-
For me it's a toss up between prog rock and doom metal.
Progressive rock is not a genre I can fully grasp. I understand nothing of music theory or complexity. It just tends to have a very beautiful and surreal quality to it that just usually isn't around other genres. It's like the psychedelia siblings matured and went off in the real world to pursue jobs in their own interests. It's a wonderful genre filled with fantasy, romance, creativity and the power granted by its wisdom. Sometimes it gets a little in over its head or doesn't know where to go, but when it is fully confident and competent, it is a stronger force than anything out there to me.
With doom metal, I'm including all of its offshoots. Doom has a lot of different faces, but each of them are heavy like nothing else. Heavy in many ways. Heavy sounds, heavy feelings and heavy musicians; doom metal has it all. When done right, it feels like every single note has weight. Sometimes it slurs, but its vocabulary then is just as powerful as it is anywhere else. It can be incredibly cheesy or unintelligent, but underneath it all shines an idiosyncratic personality that varies between sincerely human and divinely epic.

Like any music enthusiast who wants to go "fuuuck I listen to everything because I have wonderful bouts of moods all over the place" this is obviously something that feels tricky
But for me the thing that ekes out others is one word: psychedelic. If I had to pick a favorite anything, if its a sub-genre that contains the words psychedelic that's my thing. I love trip music.
I'll pick Folk. Acid Folk specifically, but the close competitor is its harder psych rock brother (and P-Funk's psych rock funk influences all over the damn place love that shit). I also love heavy and slow music over all other styles, so if it has the word STONER in it well shit I love it (Sleep and Electric Wizard and Melvins etc). And then I'll throw in the obligatory DUR HUR ME LOVE MUSIC GENRE ALL KINDS DERP
hard bop oriented jazz was my favorite to play drummer to tho as far as performing is concerned
good example of my folky taste. These guys were the best fucking irish psych folk group. even better than Pearls Before Swine and Incredible String Band, no joke
-
I picked funk because I literally cannot get enough of it. I like almost every sub-genre of it.
You guys can suck it. Funk makes me happy.
-
The lack of Prog on this list makes me a sad panda.
While I enjoy many other genres namely "rock" (sooo broad) blues, jazz, funk, hip-hop and classical, there's none I love as much as prog.
I grew up in a household where all I ever listened to as a child was classical and jazz, so an appreciation of complex time signatures, and uncommon keys was formed at an early age,and music theory was something I took to without any hesitation.
When I turned 10, my dad gave me his record player and several jazz albums. Among them, however, was Dream Theater's Images and Words. I listened to it immediately, as this was the "edgiest" music I'd ever been able to listen to.
Then I listened to it again. And again.
The other records I got went untouched for months.
To this day it is still my all time favorite album.Soon after that my collection started to spread, I picked up Dream Theater's other albums, got into Porcupine Tree, Yes, Rush, Genesis, Tool, King Crimson, etc.
Prog is just the genre I was trained to love, and love it I do.
-
I tend to put Classical as my favorite genre. Although I also listen to a lot of older rock. I say Classical because I tend to feel more connected to it. Nowadays I am especially attracted to the extremes of Renaissance choral music and French Impressionistic music. They're very fascinating styles of music. You just can't find anything even remotely like them elsewhere.
I love everything in between as well - especially Baroque and Classical. It's just I think that the styles of Renaissance choral and French Impressionistic have elevated the genre further as my favorite.
-
I voted for metal. Although, like I also said in the thread about genre's you hate, I absolutely don't like metal with growling, screaming, etc. (like black and death metal). But Power Metal, Heavy Metal and related styles are totally awesome.
I love lot's of other music too, though, and I like to think that there's something nice in every genre.
-
I listen to Nujabes.
-
graaah, I can't vote. My favorite artists have no genre overlap whatsoever so to say I enjoy one genre more than the others would be asinine.
-
Classical man right here. No other music genre touches my soul and moves me as much as classical does. Probably followed by jazz and rock.
I do like most, if not all music genres.

Has anyone preached to you the good word of progressive rock?

-
Count me in on the progressive rock bandwagon. Is there a subgenre that's a cross between electronic and psychedelic? Please hit me up with some recommendations.
Voted rock just for the heck. I wish this was a multi-option poll. -
Jazz, funk, electronica and rock.
And more recently, electroswing!

I like all of these genres, I'm deciding between (prog) rock, funk, and jazz.

Hey man, once you get past the great musicianship and fantastic writing, it can be just as enjoyable as anything else.

Whenever I try to start a serious discussion about funk, I remind myself that Funkadelic made an album called "Free Your Mind… and Your Ass Will Follow".

That owns whatre you talking about.
-
Of those options, I like folk the most. A lot of those are too broad, really. My other favorite subgenres include surf rock/pop, dream pop, shoegaze, psychedelic, and a dash of country. Dat summer music.

We need to help him find his Funky Soul.

I don't think I've ever met someone that didn't like funk.
There is just a hidden part of everyone that likes funk.
-
I don't listen to it but it's fine occasionally.

I think the adjective "fine" doesn't quite cover a genre that includes P-Funk, Prince, and James Brown.

We need a funk overload in this sub-forum. We need everyone to find their souls.

You are all now my P-Funk Allstars. Let's drown this forum in so much funk they'll GET UP OFF THAT THANG

I present my shower song:

I listen to black metal. That means I have no soul.

But do you have funky soul?
