18th century, 19th century, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s... from classical to rock, pop to dance. (80s would be the fave though)

Not keen on rap, rock n roll or hip hop RnB though.

I go through phases and rotate music accordingly, i've just come out of my classical phase and i'm back in the 80s synth pop mode at the minute. (I dunno what's next yet), probably Iron Maiden time next...

 

When I was younger I worked at some radio stations and these days my musical taste is QUITE varied. I like classical, some older hard rock, 80's, classic rock, limited oldies, certain classic country, bluegrass, even some techno...and pretty much anything by Sinatra or Ray Charles.
Hmmm maybe a list of what I DON'T like would have been faster to type lol.

I grew up around dance halls and night clubs. When I was a young man, I learned how to make music. I even played professionaly for several years. Played everything from Bluegrass to Heavy Metal.

Guess you could say I got my fill of it. I seldom listen to it anymore.

 

I listen to everything from heavy metal - country .....Never got into rap or hip hop though, I also play drums, bass guitar, lead guitar, rythm guitar, and a little bit of the keyboard. Never have went professional though, i'll stick to my current interest in coins

 

70's and 80's. Matter of fact, "The 70's Show" is pretty much a reflection of my life...except, my mother would frown upon having beautiful girls "hanging out" in my basement day in and day out. But like television shows, I can dream, can't I?

 

Almost anything according to my mood, though generally not rap, country or modern "death metal." The "big hair bands" of the early 1980s are about as hard as I rock, and no harder.

All in all, if one genre had to be identified as my favorite, I guess I'd pick classic rock (roughly from the late 1960s to the early 1980s).

 

I like new age: Yanni, Enya type stuff. Unless I'm in the garage cleaning up my '63 Impala. Then its the oldies from the 50s and 60s. Some 90s hair bands are pretty good too.

 

Actually, I listen to certain music specifically for numismatic work. When I am attributing, staring at objects with a magnifier, looking up stuff in books, making notes. For that, I listen to Yanni. Otherwise, while driiving, I listen to classical or any of the flavors of rock up through the 80s.

When I am writing, I listen to nothing. I hate distractions.

I'm still stuck in the '70s.

 

Me too with the exception of the 60's and contemporary Hawaiian.

 

i like punk, metal, pop (NOT top 40), dance, trance, techno, alt, goth, disco, drum & bass, jungle, rock

 

You sound as bad as me here!

I've just left the 80's synth pop mode and i'm now currently reliving the early 90s (a decade i was not too fussed on when i was there, but it has improved with time). I'm currently stuck in 90s dance pop mode.

Plenty of Sash, a dash of Snap, some Culture Beat and Corona and a bit of Real McCoy...

I haven't got a clue what next month will bring but i'm heading for a return to Rock music mode, but i might go via the 60s first.

 

We used to call it Acid Rock or Psychedelic Rock. Even 30-40 years later, I still drop the discs on the turntable and spin the vinyl.

Can still play In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida on the organ!

 

The 70's but not alot of disco

 

i still love my 80s synth pop . all the best bands came out of england!

Mixed in with several tracks from Broadway musicals, including Mame, Annie Get Your Gun, The Producers and Brigadoon, and a couple of operatic arias sung by Pavrotti and Callas.

 

It's probably my favourite genre of music (that's if i even have a clear fave!). Yes England was a hotbed of synth pop back then; Human League, Yazoo, New Order, Duran Duran and let us not forget one of the most successful groups (top 40 wise) to have never have had a number one (or anything above 4?) Depeche Mode.

As much as i like my Iron Maiden i have to admit Synth probably beats them just.

 

I pretty much like all types of music ('cept for "teeny pop"). There are alot of great musicians in just about every genre. Currently I'm stuck on a metal band called Slipknot, though half of their songs aren't worth listening to, the other half are some of the best that I have heard in years. Comes down to good song writing, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Todd Snider, Audioslave, Incubus, (hed)p.e. and Primus are some of my very favorites. Though Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath have to be my all time favorites.

 

of those listed, i think only duran duran had a #1 here in the states. human league was pretty much a one-hit wonder. yazoo was probably only heard on college stations. new order are one of my all time fave groups, but the only song you're likely to hear is bizarre love triangle. depeche mode seems to be the most successful on the list. i've never been much of a depeche mode fan (don't know why). loved enjoy the silence....

my fave 80s uk groups are still my fave groups: the jam, pet shop boys, new order, ultravox, joy division, electronic, and the style council. i was a big iron maiden fan in the 80s...bruce dickenson was their best singer and songwriter. they sounded so good when played very loud.
