TheSwedishPancake Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I'm very narrow-minded when it comes to modern music... I actually only have two bands that I like: RammsteinEisbrecher Other than that, I like older music, particularly string-heavy classical. I'm just weird like that. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germandeathkittiez Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 I think this list needs some expanding. What about Jazz, Blues and Classical? (and Electronica if you consider that big enough to be its own genre). Seems to me mostly we've got everything after the 60's. Don't forget that music didn't start with that...On the contrary, most of what I listen to lately is modern stuff (Rapcore, metal) but my favorites are some Power Metal and Metalcore bands:1. Starkweather 2. Textures3. Blind Guardian (Since this was already listed I'll give my favorite female-fronted metal, Nightwish and Epica). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will add those to the list, but i dont think i can add much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germandeathkittiez Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Thank you. I really suspect "Alternative" is more of a pseudo-genre. Most of what's "Alternative" is modern, and belonging to many different styles. Something that isn't genre-limited could also go under "Other". I see no use for "Alternative", but it looks like people have already voted on it so might be a bit unfair to get rid of it. I would also suggest "World" but that could go under "Other" as well. Just my suggestions :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haters are Welcome. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiler234 Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Haha, I'm proud to be the sole listener of Electronica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansutton91 Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Folk all the way, but since there was no folk option, I chose Alternative. Cuz I like U2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VesemirTheWitcher Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) Voted "other" Electro-orchestral all the way. and classical, and symphonic rock. But mostly electro-orchestral. Nothing beats a nice electric guitar riff accompanied by flying violin strokes, tubas, synthesizers following in on the melody. So many chills down my spine. so... beautiful, so lively! As in, most of han zimmer's scores (Especially the more recent ones) like the score for COD6 and Crysis2. holy hell, that guy can COMPOSE. i mean, Gladiator, The last Samurai, The pirates of the carribean... They ALL kicked me into an orgasmic peak... Followed by an eerie headache. Edited February 27, 2012 by vesemir the witcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the only thing I can think of that could be considered electro-orchestral. Though, we may be thinking of different things, as 'Venetian Snares' has no electric guitar in it...

VesemirTheWitcher Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Venetian snares were intresting, but not what i had in mind. Here, these should help you get my meaning. Link 1 Btw i forgot to mention inception's "the dream is collapsing" by zimmer. That guy's found my spine, and he keeps chilling it in his gaddamn fridge!!
