The Music and Bands We Love

[bookworm1138]

So, what music do you all love?

For me, while all styles are accessible, I find that I often lean towards blues, symphonic/classical, opera, ambient, hard rock and heavy metal (specifically Black Sabbath-inspired doom metal and folk/viking metal). Specific bands to be posted in time.

How about you all?

Oh well, what can I say:
Classics! I love listening to old classics when I study. sometimes western classics, other times eastern ones, and usually both^^
Now with "new" classics the likes of Yanni and ThePianoGuys, and a bunch of such amazing YouTubers.
I like most David Guetta stuff, Maroon5, and tons of random pop songs that I don't really care who sings them 
I like some Blue and Country. I don't really follow any specific band.
I HATE hard rock and heavy metal. Although, I love good DJ's like Elon Matana and Earworm. and MIXs! I freak'n love mixs

It's rather difficult for me to have a special taste in todays music, as there are so many different genres...

But mostly I'm hearing medieval/folk-bands or metal.

Ons of my all-time-favorites is Fiddler's Green. It's a german Band which produces "Irish speed folk". Some of their most famous songs are The night pat Murphy died], Rocky road to Dublin or Victor and his demons (which is more punk). But they have also a lot of slower and more melancholic songs, like All these feelings.

Another all-time favourites is Blind Guardian (the Bard's Song is just a really good song and they also have a full middleearth album with songs about the silmarillion (f.e. Mirror Mirror!

A third group I like to listen to is In Extremo. (perhaps some of you have played Gothic 1? They have an appearance there with Herr Mannelig)

On the other hand I'm listening to some older rock-singers like Billy Joel (Piano Man is one of the songs I learned to play on the piano^^), Don McLean (Amerian Pie is always awesome) or Cat Stevens (Father and Son is just a great song[/url].

Additionally I hear sometimes classic, especially Wagner (as I'm from Bayreuth, I have a special connection to him. - already heard the Flying Dutchman live).

Beside of those bands I'm listening to Manowar, Iced Earth, Hammerfall, Edguy and especially a lot of different german bands, which are probably completely unknown to all non germans.
Germany has especially many really good medieval-bands like "Die Streuner", "Versengold" or "Schandmaul".

So... difficult to say what I like most, bust I can at least say what I don't like:
Hiphop, Rap or Techno. Some of their songs are good, but I don't like most of them. Especially when I'm listening to Hiphop I'm getting really agressive.

You are so lucky then, living in a such significant town for Music and Art 
As you may guess from my username, I too like very much Wagner; specifically 'Die Walküre' and, most importantly, 'Tannhäuser', for it is simply wonderful

*sigh*I wish I found this earlier.

I don't have a strongly defined choice of music, but if I'd have to chose the specific genre of music I'd go with rock. It's what I mostly listen to anyway.

I almost exclusively listen to anglophone music, but I do like some Mexican music (not only Mariachi). (sung in Mexican Spanish, of course) I also like Mexican rap.

In my opinion, the good music started in the late 50's and ended in the late 80's. On average, the mainstream music. There are good examples from really any time period. Usually rock.

When it comes to specific people and/or bands, I can't really say for solo artists, but I do have my favorite bands: Raspberries (they've gotten me into rock music), Journey, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Radiohead, River City Extension, AC/DC, A Day to Remember, System of a Down and so on

Buddy Holly and Presley are worth mentioning. Speaking of them, yes, classic rock, gold.

I don't really like rap/hip hop, but there are some good songs from there, I guess. Mexican rap is always good though. Por qué, no sé.

What I don't like is country music. Don' wanna have nothin' to do with it.

Oh yeah, electronic music can sometimes be really good to listen to. Especially on the occasions.

*I'm editing this post a lot, aren't I? *I've edited this post like 7 times since I've posted it. My music preference hasn't even changed, I just keep finding better ways to express myself!

my reason for not liking Rap/hip hop is because there s no melody.
