    I didn't vote. You can only pick one. Which to me is useless (you only like one kind of music?). Plus, YOU LEFT OFF FUNK! Unless the obnoxious "RnB and that kind of ****" was supposed to include it.
    For the record, I like just about everything in the poll, with the exception of Techno and "Fake crap".

    I voted metal, because that is first on my personal heirarchy of genres, but i find your poll to be a bit biased: "Fake Crap?" I mean, come on. You will do nothing but offend people with poll choices like that (including me)! And you did not include Country/Western music, among others.

    Besides, most people like at least a few different kinds of music, if not a lot!

    My list of fav music styles: Metal, Rock, "Classic" Rock, Punk, Jazz, Country/Western, Techno, Rap/H-H/R&B, Classical, Gregorian Chant, And many of the bands that you would include in "Fake Crap" that are actually New Wave Metal.

    [​IMG] Hmph, i didn't vote.
    Several reasons really:

    1) No Funkrock, or Electro Funk/Pop/Rock.
    Jack Funk i so agree with you.

    2) All those things you've listed are stupid 'stereotypes'. How about Hard Rock, Rock, Old Rock, there's loads you've missed! Hip-Hop and Rap are different, even tough i listen to neither.

    "R&B and that kinda ****", now you've got to ask yourself, are you seriously going to dance to Mettalica? Doubt it. I'm not a big fan of R&B, but it's good if you're in the right mood.

    3) No Drum & Bass, Blues, Classical (all the different types) etc, you've only put 'classical'.

    4) Now this annoys me:
    How are Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park and Avril Lavigne "Fake Crap"? I'm not saying i like either of those, but Avril has a great voice, with talent to back, Limp Bizkit have been going for a good time, and how are they 'fake'?
    Linkin Park have achieved huge success through their debut album, and i can't see them being fake either.
    BTW: Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park I would class as Rock/Pop/Hip-Hop, and Avril as Pop.

    "Fake" is stuff like Tenacious D (where's the talent?), Steps/S-CLub 7/Westlife. Even boybands like N'Sync, backstreet boys and them have singing talent, even though they are manufactured etc.

    - Finally, there is no Alternative. What about those really alt. bands out there?

    Hmmm... think about your questions/choices next time, and even though you may only like one type of Stereotyped Music, doesn't mean everybody else does.

    Goph

    Just incase you were wondering; may fav' bands are Placebo, Basement Jaxx, RATM, amongst so many more.

    Agreed. I voted Classical, but I like modern classical music (especially from Japan).

    As everyone has said your are missing so many types of music, plus the poll is biased. So i did not vote.

    You forgot so many types of music
    • House
    • Scratch(aphex-twin)
    • Industrial
    • Gothic
    • Trip-Hop
    • rock-rap
    • classic metal
    • Baroque
    I could go on but there is no point. The poll is skewered towards the rock side of music, and does not attempt on trying to find what kind of music people like best

    For me:
    Up-Tempo Jazz
    Acid Jazz
    'Chase Music'
    Lounge
    Trip-Hop
    Drum&Bass
    Goa-Trance

    Since there was just one of them in the poll, I chose Jazz, and I seem to be the only (at least 1st) one.

    Since there are almost as many music-genres as musicians, I understand it's very hard to name them all, but you could add some more, methinks. ;)

    'You forgot Aiya Napa!'- Yes, of course! Because nobody has ever heared of it before!!

    I didn't vote because you limited people to one choice and I listen to more than one style of music.

    You also forgot Country (maybe different categories like old country and country rock), Folk, Jazz, and lots of others.

    I wouldn't use the term 'poof' if I were you Andy, you might just have insulted someone. I used to like rock, but now it's all turning into the same, boring, cliche songs about love this and fighting that. Pure drivel most of it. It's bands like U2 and Red Hot chili Peppers that are keeping it alive. With crap like 'Busted' coming out who would want to be a part of it? I'll take Rikku over some long haired maniac screaming F*ck down a microphone anyday thank you very much. I get called a 'poof' alot during the day because of my hobbies, i'd rather not have one of my so called 'best friends' call me it too.

    Now I sugest you change your post before a mod sees it.

    I refused to vote too. How come it's impossible to vote classical, R&B, rap, hip hop, rock, (alternative), metal, pop, and "fake stuff".

    Hmm I actually find Tenascious D quite funny and amusing, he also manages to write catch tunes, no great music but if I zap to mtv and he is on he is one of the few I stop for.

    Mostly I listen to music that wasnt either on your list and that sadly hasnt been mentioned by anyone! Old fashioned singer/songwriters like Bob Dylan, Bruce Cockburn and some swedes who are great for example Björn Afzelius, Mikael Wihe and Ulf Lundell.

    Yeah, they were interviewed by Jonathon Ross on TV the other day, (UK). They're both very funny guys.

    [​IMG] There are only the main genres (house/drum'n'bass are electronic).
    I really forgot funk and alternative, but blues is something like jazz, I think (tell me if I am wrong, I never listen to that kind of music).

    About the "fake crap":
    I think that these bands are fake, because they want to be something that they are not (Avril-alternative skateboarding punk-rocker/Linkin park-tough metal guy...) and I hate Limp Bizkit. That is because they had an audition for a new guitar player and millions of young people went to try and they had to sign a contract that their riffs are now the property of limp bizkit and they can do whatever they want with them. And the band didn't pick anyone then! They just used them to get their riffs :grr:

    And all this "fake bands" have lyrics, which my 7-year old cousin could write. For example:

    I'm with the skater boy
    I said see you later boy
    I'll be back stage after the show
    I'll be at the studio
    Singing the song we wrote
    About a girl you used to know

    or

    do you know where you are
    welcome to the jungle punk
    take a look around it’s limp bizkit
    ****in' up your town

    That only makes me laugh :lol:
