Pages: 1 2 3  Next -- Posted by Crazy snake at 11:20 am on May 7, 2008 I'm just wondering if intellectuals have a similiar taste in music? This has probably been done before, but I'll do it again. So, what is your taste? Personally, I'm a big fan of trance. sorry! Edit: I forgot to put the other option. If you have a different taste in music than those stated, please state it -- Posted by The Comeback Kid at 11:21 am on May 7, 2008 I like contemporary instrumental the most. The emotions of it, is amazing, -- Posted by marshmellowman at 11:21 am on May 7, 2008 Why, why, why do people always leave Punk off these sorts of polls? Argh! Anyways, I listen to mostly Rock, Indie and Punk. -- Posted by Deeznutz FYC at 11:22 am on May 7, 2008 Rap and Rock. Like I've always said, you can't beat the classics! -- Posted by Corrupted Innocence at 11:23 am on May 7, 2008 I like a range of music. I can go from listening Linkin Park to listening to listening to Ultrabeat. I have a varied music taste really. All depends on my mood and what is my favourite song of the week sort of thing -- Posted by Lulu Nobody at 11:26 am on May 7, 2008 I'll listen to pretty much anything. I've never really associated with a specific genre, just whatever I enjoy listening to. -- Posted by nikki at 1:01 pm on May 7, 2008 Acoustic, indie and classic rock are my main ones. But I like a bit of everything as long as you can hear the lyrics. -- Posted by inflamed muse at 3:57 pm on May 8, 2008 I like indie and classic rock for the most part, but I mix in other genres, as well. Lately I've been listening to Pink Floyd and The Beatles a lot. -- Posted by nikki at 2:01 am on May 9, 2008 Quote: from inflamed muse at 11:57 pm on May 8, 2008 Lately I've been listening to Pink Floyd and The Beatles a lot. Some of Britain's best bands right there. -- Posted by Radon at 3:24 am on May 9, 2008 No votes for Rap and R&B so far. How telling... OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKTHATSHOULDBEVERBOSEENOUGH -- Posted by Wakeupcall at 9:38 am on May 9, 2008 I hate R'n'B with a passion. I love Jazz - the contemporary Michael Buble for example, I love rock, I don't like electric stuff - it bores me. I like Eminem, Blue, Maroon 5, Bedingfield(s) I'm an all over type of guy. -- Posted by inflamed muse at 2:17 pm on May 9, 2008 Quote: from Nikki at 4:01 am on May 9, 2008 Quote: from inflamed muse at 11:57 pm on May 8, 2008 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. -- Posted by Wilder at 2:45 pm on May 9, 2008 Industrial and all related/ encompassed genres for the win (note the signature). -- Posted by panicxparadox at 3:08 pm on May 9, 2008 Indie. Especially Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, Bob Dylan, Devendra Banhart, and the Shins. -- Posted by nikki at 3:15 pm on May 9, 2008 Quote: from inflamed muse at 10:17 pm on May 9, 2008 Do you know of any others I should try out?

For the record, I already listen to Muse, Radiohead, Klaxons, Kasabian, Kaiser Chiefs, and Arctic Monkeys. Hm, trying to think now. You have good taste in music though! Here are a few I can think of from the top of my head: The Libertines Babyshambles Bloc Party Pulp The Editors Maximo Park -- Posted by MattJ at 6:15 pm on May 9, 2008 Quote: from inflamed muse at 2:17 pm on May 9, 2008 Quote: from Nikki at 4:01 am on May 9, 2008 Quote: from inflamed muse at 11:57 pm on May 8, 2008 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. -- Posted by TheOtherHorseman at 7:04 pm on May 10, 2008 My enjoyment of music picks up at about the 50's and then tapers off sharply with the end of the 80's. -- Posted by Tavis at 8:30 am on May 11, 2008 Rock, and Indie. It's rare, finding someone who would categorize them together. I like it, cause I listen to both :D -- Posted by reyshells at 9:01 am on May 11, 2008 Everything that's music. I don't tend to like rap and hip hop, just because many times it's full of lyrics I don't want to hear. But some songs are quite good! But I'm mostly a rock/indie/classical/reggae sort of person. Yes, an odd combo. -- Posted by Radon at 12:49 pm on May 11, 2008 Quote: from Wilder at 2:45 pm on May 9, 2008 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. -- Posted by QueenOfGeeks at 3:59 pm on May 11, 2008 My personal favorite is punk, but it's not an option! : ( -- Posted by sunnypepper at 4:57 pm on May 11, 2008 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. -- Posted by fezzy at 5:01 pm on May 11, 2008 I'm fond of alternative rock. I suppose that fits under "rock, indie" -- Posted by Ldzpln at 6:55 am on May 12, 2008 I like psytrance and psyrock... but honestly, i don't think that musical taste has much to do with intelligence. -- Posted by ForeignFishes at 7:22 pm on May 12, 2008 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. -- Posted by airemaye at 8:55 pm on May 12, 2008 Indie and classic rock. Most of the "intellectuals" I know in real life like indie and classic rock as well. My favorite band is The Decemberists, but even they're too mainstream for some of my strictest indie-loving friends. Haha. -- Posted by Wilder at 11:37 pm on May 12, 2008 Quote: from Radon at 1:49 pm on May 11, 2008 Quote: from Wilder at 2:45 pm on May 9, 2008 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. Lol, thanks. It worked out well that this topic appeared right around the same time as my new sig. -- Posted by JinxyPinxy at 10:54 am on May 15, 2008 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!) -- Posted by BREAKBOY at 7:57 pm on May 15, 2008 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. -- Posted by MagicHunter at 9:50 pm on May 15, 2008 Right now I'm listening to Reel Big Fish. They iz dope. Pages: 1 2 3  Next
