This should probably go in Jam Session, for future reference.

Anyways, I like plenty of different kinds of music. XD I'm horrible at naming of genre, though, so I'll just name off a few bands...

Anberlin
Mae
Five Iron Frenzy
House of Heroes
Ben Folds
Fair
Billy Joel
Eisley
Boys Like Girls
Brand New

Granted, that's far from everything I like, and it's not even a good representation of what I listen to. XD Adding onto that, though, I also enjoy copious amounts of J-Pop, and I'm even beginning to like K-Pop. So yeah. XD

[Kkun]

I like anything that is new, different, and exciting.

I also like stuff that is crappy, but I don't care because I like it.

My favorite genre is "punk," but I consider the genre "punk" to be very, very broad. I also listen to a lot of indie rock, some metal, some hardcore, some rap, some country, blah blah blah etc. etc. I like a lot of stuff.

(some of) My favorite artists would be mewithoutYou, Showbread, Blindside, Five Iron Frenzy (RIP), the Blood Brothers, Coheed and Cambria, Thursday, and Regina Spektor.

[That Dude]

I totally forgot to put MewithoutYou on my list of stuff. Darn. You kicked my pants Kkun.

[Blitzkrieg1701]

I like 60's stuff (British Invasion, Folk Rock, Psychedelic) and stuff that sounds like it came from the 60's (Indie Pop, Chamber Pop, certain brands of Alternative Jrock)

[Tommy]

Pretty much everything.

Heavy Metal, Folk Rock (like Jars of Clay), Indie, Classic, Some Rap, Punk, ect. ect.

[ilikegir33]

I dunno. Ska (like Lily Allen/Amy Winehouse), Electronic Rap/Rock (Gorillaz), indie, rapcore, classic metal (you know, Motley Crue), comedy rock (Weird Al, Tenacious D, etc) some rap (Fort Minor rocks) and a lot of other genres.

[EricTheFred]

I've been into chamber and symphonic music my whole life, especially early Twentieth Century guys like Vaughan Williams, Sibelius and Shostakovich. Because of my upbringing, I'm also big on Norwegian folk and Cajun folk. I've also enjoyed Rock, especially 60s through 80s, and Jazz of many stripes and colors. The combination of all of the above explains why my favorite recording artists are Vangelis, Yokko Kanno, and Trans-Siberian.

[Danderson]

Man, don't get me started with music....I baisically like just about all kinds of music..it all depends on the mood and the setting...
If you were to ask my top three fav. genres here they are:
1. Nu Metal (Red, Linkin Park, ect)
2. Movie soundtrack (James Newton Howard, Hans Zimmer, ecT)
3. Alternative rock (Skillet, Breaking Benjamin, ect)
If you were to ask me my three least favourite genres here they are:
3. Country...
2. Hip-Hop/Rap
1. Jazz

I actually will listen to these genres at times, but again it just depends on my mood and the settings...

Also, anyone that claims to listen to "just about everything" is dead wrong. There are tons of genres/subgenres/etc. that the vast majority of the human population is completely unaware of, including some of what I listed here. We all only listen to a very small fraction of what's out there.

[Ichigo_89]

I'm mostly into heavy music. (metalcore, folk metal, thrash,death, w/e sounds awesome) But enjoy my fair share of indie ish rock like MewithoutYou, Edison Glass, Mutemath. Also love Electro, house, industrial, trance, etc. And anything that's obscure and really interesting (Neon Horse anyone?) yah stuff like that.

[GhostontheNet]

Gothic, Industrial, Synthpop, Post-Punk, Baroque, Classical, Ambient, Electronic, Orthodox Chant, Celtic, Jazz, J-Pop.

[That Dude]

What exactly is Baroque music Ghost?

Baroque is a particular style of Classical music that began in around 1600 and continued until somewhere around 1760. Baroque is very elegent and ornamental in the way the music progresses. The harpsichord is the bread and butter of a baroque chamber, while various stringed instruments set the tone of the music emotionally. One of the greatest examples of baroque music is Handel's Messiah, which is a personal favorite of mine. Anyone interested in Baroque Music should check out the internet radio station Otto's Baroque Musick at http://1.fm/ .

[GhostontheNet]

Evanescence (Gothish Rock? Feel free to correct me on the "correct" genre name. XD)

Their early EPs and the album Origin fuse elements of Metal, Gothic Rock, Industrial, and Jazz. On the whole, if you had to force a genre classification at that era, it would be Gothic Metal. Then, following the album Fallen, Evanescence would keep these elements to a much lesser extent (say, as hooks for songs), and would preserve the dark romanticism of their aesthetics and their fusion of religious and horror imagery in their lyrics, but their music on the whole would be straight Metal.

[Tommy]

I find Origins their best album by far.
Especially the song "Lies."

[GhostontheNet]

I find Origins their best album by far.
Especially the song "Lies."

Origin is so excellent because its so experimental in the way it incorporates all the elements together while remaining a strong and coherant whole. Naturally, mistakes were made here and there in the middle of songs, mistakes that would come to their pinacle with Fallen when the band was adapting to its more straight-Metal sound with the older elements pushed to the edges. As to the song "Lies", it is quite a highlight of the album. You start out with that ethereal intro which possesses that quality so beloved in gothic music that I like to refer to as "the spooky swirls", then the song fizzles into raw industrial degeneration, followed by an artfully timed mixture of metal chords and Batcave/Deathrock style Gothic dischords (ala. the Bauhaus or Christian Death under Rozz William's control, rather than under the charmless anti-Christian bigot Valor Kand). And, of course, Amy Lee sings with that wonderful ethereal vocal of hers that cuts right into the soul to sing of important questions on matters of the soul.
