What music do you listen to ?

• NWOBHM
• Power Metal
• Classic Rock
• Heavy Metal
• Other Metal
• Paramore

Sometimes listen to music from the old sonic games - toot toot, Sonic warrior


Needless to say I chose the first option

 

We have Classic FM in the default setting in our car, as this is good background music and does not distract you when you are driving.

 

Are we not allowed to choose multiple options?

 

The music I listen to most frequently is

Rock
Classical
Blues/R&B
Pop

and Folk which is not on the list

Some of the classifications I do not recognise at all. HandsUp? Trance?

What happened to reggae, ska, skiffle, punk?

 

Classic FM is a wonderful station, they play some excellent, calm and enjoyable music. And as you so rightly said, unlike the heavier stations, the music will keep you concentrated and focused. If I can't get a signal to Classic FM, which unfortunately tends to happen a lot, I'll pick Heart. More rock and pop based, but it still has some good playlists.

 

I usually have either Radio 4 on or use the walkman on my phone though a tape with a jack.

 

Where's the option for Country?

 

Always classical music for me - very much looking forward to the start of the Proms in a couple of weeks!

 

No option for 80s new wave or Indie music ie Stone Roses / Oasis?

In the car its Absolute 80s on the digital radio.

 

Girls Aloud ....ok yes i need a life

 

Who?:?

 

one of the bars I go to on saturdays plays a lot of stuff I remember from the 70's:

Sweet
Slade
Gary Glitter
Dawn
Middle of the Road
Brotherhood of Man
ABBA
Tony Christie
Status Quo

very entertaining

 

Big collars and bell bottom jeans everywhere in that bar eh?

 

I have a selection from all of those genres in my collection, but I have more 'indie' than anything else, so I guess 'pop' is the closest.

 

Good!

Rock and indie music is my music of choice, however I avoid those two bands at all costs. And I'm a born-and-bred Mancunian!

 

Ska
Industrial/Electronica
Indie
Neo Folk

Hmm, not choices here then....

 

Rock in the main for me, but as long as it has a good melody, most is ok with me
Therefore 'Modern Music' is generally 'Non Applicable' in this household...
Oh and the best decade for music was the 1970's!

 

lol good one

 

I assume these to be popular beat combos or popular crooners. I have never heard of any of them; admittedly I rarely buy any album by anyone who has not been around for less than 20 years or so.

Not according to The Blues Brothers. You don't have Country or Western.

And skiffle presumably in Pop. But traditional Folk music doesn't really fit in anywhere obvious.

 

I don't specifically 'follow' a genre as the stuff I like comes from all over the (musical) place. I THINK that most of the stuff I like stems from 70's Prog Rock, so I opted for "Rock, Metal..." option, but I also like instrumental Irish music (e.g. the original 'Riverdance'), the Cocteau Twins (who are in an untitled genre of their own, in my view), The Groundhogs (whe WERE a blues band, but moved on) and quite a few German bands of the 70's (Neu, Tangerine Dream, Faust, etc).
I have a feeling it's been done before, but (in my case) it would probaly be better to ask "Who do you like", rather than "What do you like". Just a thought. Another thought could be to request what people have in their collection(s) and attach it to a post on an Excel Spreadsheet.

 

Is there really a genre of music called Hands Up ?
I dread to think what that must sound like

Mostly Rock for me (in most of it's guises)
Although I must admit I am quite partial to a bit of Reggae too

 

I just did..and now wished I hadn't

 

Reggae,
Garage,
Bassline,
Grime,
Dance,
Drum and Bass.

 

Trance & Tech Trance for me.

Sander van Doorn is my favourite artist.

 

Chap hop

 

I had to put 'club hands up' as my vote but what the hell are they?

Im a massive house music fan but christ on a bike..

Everything i listen to can be as far ranging as old blues and R&B(ask your dad) up to the newer soul funk and wobbly house/Uk bass stuff..

Im no fan of rock music though..
