Same... All the band with a singer who's not singing but only shouting words that we can't understand.

i've been known to listen to anything guitar driven that falls into a catagory of "hard music". metal, hard rock, grunge, punk & all of their many sub genres. i love it all.

Thrash Metal
Speed Metal
Black Metal (the 90's stuff plus the "1st Wave Of Black Metal)
Death Metal
NWOBHM
Classic Heavy Metal

I can listen to just about any heavy metal/hard rock music. That being said I get very bored with most metalcore (I do like some Demon Hunter, The Showdown, Bullet For My Valentine, etc.), I like very little Nu Metal (Godsmack, Sevendust, Disturbed, Machine Head, Disciple, and a select few others) and even then not much, I like a few emo bands if they have some real metal influence (old Underoath), some music considered grunge (Soundgarden, a little Pearl Jam, and Alice In Chains) but only one that can really be called grunge, and I like some alternative music (pre-King For A Day Faith No More, Primus, and very little else).

As you can see I like a lot of variety, however my favorite genres are:

1) Power & Speed [tie] 2) Progressive 3) Goth [doom/death and symphonic] 4) Thrash 5) Extreme [death, black, grind, etc.]

@ Dallas: when did Machine Head become "nu-metal"?

Well, obviously I'm a huge metal fan, otherwise I wouldn't be here, but other than metal:

punk (I actually prefer punk to metal, but it's close)
hardcore

That's about it. 99% of my collection is either punk or metal related.

anything rock! hahahaha

mostly hard rock and heavy metal.

Glam
Hard
Hair
Shock
Cock
Heavy
Trash
Melodic
Classic
Rock
Jazz
Blues
Instrumental
Shredding
Progress


HATE Grunge ! what a crap style !

Thrash/Speed
Power
Doom
Traditional/Nwobhm

take up most of my time.

The Burning Red album had heavy nu-metal qualities to it. After reading your reply I checked on Wikipedia and now I realize they went back to their roots with Through The Ashes Of Empires (I will check it out now that I know). However, with Burning Red I thought they turned nu-metal on everyone so I never gave them anymore thought. One thing that I'm guilty of sometimes, as are a lot of people, is that if I feel a band has "sold out" I stop listening to them (Theatre Of Tragedy is a great example except they really did sell out).

Aaaaaahahaha, LMAO!

Seriously, I've crossed Machine Head long time ago - in 2001 to be exact when at the Thrash of the Titans beneficiary concert for both Chucks the "mega rock-star" Robb Flynn declined to participate... such a :defleppard: act!

Now I see I havent missed much anyway... jumping on stage playing Korn... could it be worse? haha

cool, thanks for the answer. i do not own The Burning Red or Supercharger because i had heard that they were weak. i wasn't aware they were nu-metal albums. i just remember how Rob was saying in an interview about how much The Cure had influenced the songwriting on the former, so i stayed away.

I love a lot of styles of music. I'm a person of variety!

I am first and foremost a metalhead though. I can't get away from that. So ... what I'll do is list my favorite metal genres first, then list the rest:


1. Gothic Metal
2. Power Metal
3. Thrash Metal
4. Classic Metal
5. Doom Metal
6. AOR/Hard Rock
7. Glam Metal
8. Black/Death Metal
9. Metalcore


other stuff:

1. Synthpop/Darkwave
2. Goth
3. Industrial
4. Trance
5. New Age/Ambient
6. Classic Rock
7. Alternative/Janglepop
8. Grunge
9. Pop
10. Old school Country/Alternative Country
11. Folk


I pretty much like it ALLL!!!

The stuff I don't care for as much:

Prog (though I do like Rush, but I consider them more hard rock)

Jazz

Blues (though I appreciate it)

R&B

Rap Hip Hop

New Country

Rock
Hard Rock
Metal - Classic, Thrash and Doom

I listen to good music.

of course, LOTS of every genre of metal...especially thrash, power metal, blues metal, classic & progressive. Some glam metal, the kind with good musicianship =) and punk influences.

I enjoy a lot of 80's alternative & goth, and occasionally I'll listen to old-school rap if I'm in the mood.

Also classic rock but NOT the popular songs every radio station on earth plays ad nauseum. I actually hate almost everything on the radio, just cause of the repetition, I crave variety.

In all honesty I like some music from every era dating back to the 1920's. and I LOVE a lot of the classical composers which date back even further especially Pachelbel, Tschaikovsky, Paganini, Beethoven, & Mozart.

Newer rap, hip-hop, r&b, etc. completely makes me itch. Same for top forty and 99.9% of what's in the mainstream. UGH. Predictable, cliched lyrics, so-called 'hooks' that make me want to press delete in my brain if I happen to hear them once.

and emo is not and will not ever be tolerable in my world.

Check out Nappy Roots. They rule.

New emo or old? Fugazi was emo.

didn't know that about Fugazi. I don't know if I have ever even heard them, but I have heard of them.

I just mean the 'emo' that has taken over the 'scene' as of late.

I don't know what Panic! At the Disco is considered but I think that they really, really suck. I give a lot of slack to singers but that guy doesn't even sound like he's trying.
