Lately I've been listening to Pink Floyd and The Beatles a lot.
Some of Britain's best bands right there.
Do you know of any others I should try out? (I mean, as you live in England and most likely know more about the bands over there than I do.) For the record, I already listen to Muse, Radiohead, Klaxons, Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, and Arctic Monkeys.
Dude, the Kaiser Chiefs have my favorite song on Guitar Hero III! But I listen to classic rock most of the time, the occasional rap.

My enjoyment of music picks up at about the 50's and then tapers off sharply with the end of the 80's.

Industrial and all related/ encompassed genres for the win (note the signature).
I noted the signature and it sent a cold shiver down my spine.

My personal favorite is punk, but it's not an option!

I like all of these genres. I like everything that sounds good. I'm convinced that there is at least one good-sounding performer within all of those genres.
Why isn't folk music here?
I love folk music, especially Scandinavian, Baltic and klezmer music.
Of classical music I prefer newer stuff. Debussy, Chopin, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Prokofiev, and a bunch of other 1800s-dudes whose names I can't spell.

I'm fond of alternative rock. I suppose that fits under "rock, indie"

I like psytrance and psyrock... but honestly, i don't think that musical taste has much to do with intelligence.

I'm mostly into gritty '90s indie rock, shoegaze and electronica. The bands I like are ones that are largely ignored by the mainstream but have substantial cult followings, i.e. Pavement, Guided By Voices, Sonic Youth, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, the Jesus & Mary Chain, Wilco, M83, Ride, Yo La Tengo, Boards of Canada, Eluvium, the Books, Spiritualized, the Magnetic Fields, Spacemen 3. I'm a music snob out the ass. But I'm going to go ahead and say that the shoegaze genre seems to have the largest concentration of intellectual followers than any other. I've never met a shoegaze fan who is of below average intelligence, not to say that my word is final nor that there aren't any out there. Post edited at 6:52 am on Dec. 3, 2008 by ForeignFishes

Lol, thanks. It worked out well that this topic appeared right around the same time as my new sig.

I'm big on 80s music (& late 70s...the Eagles rock!), but I'll happily listen to rock (& anything else my friends try to get me into!)

I listen to all said genres, but I have the deepest love for hip hop, mainly underground and old school. Funk also deserves mention. The genre was innovative and influential, and is a great alternative for the guitarist or bassist bored with the norm. Plus James Brown was a fuckin' beast, I can never grow tired of dancing to James Brown.
