Titel: The Music and Bands We Love

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  xD
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  [ugly]

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

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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sm2NdkXx5k)], Rocky road to Dublin (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3eq85QFJJg) or Victor and his demons (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj41xZHA5Eg) (which is more punk). But they have also a lot of slower and more melancholic songs, like All these feelings (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKt6Emnb4mo).

Another all-time favourites is Blind Guardian (the Bard's Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_tORtmKIjE) is just a really good song and they also have a full middleearth album with songs about the silmarillion (f.e. Mirror Mirror (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5qvPg_cuw4)! :D

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 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c4MhVz4_Yo))

On the other hand I'm listening to some older rock-singers like Billy Joel (Piano Man (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxEPV4kolz0) is one of the songs I learned to play on the piano^^), Don McLean (Amerian Pie (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAsV5-Hv-7U) is always awesome) or Cat Stevens (Father and Son (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kea0ghm7Z4E) 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. :P - 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. :D
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. :P 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. :D

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  :)

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