What's yours? I didn't include a poll because I knew I would leave one out or someone would come up with one I'd never heard of.

As for me, I'm more into artists/songs themselves than the actual genre, i.e I wouldn't normally listen to R&B because I don't like most of it, yet I happen to love Rihanna and Ne-Yo. If I had to choose a favourite genre, it would come down to Acoustic, Indie, and Alternative.

Oops, my bad, wrong section. Thanks for moving it. :3

  1. Metal with violins (rare enough not to have a genre, apparently)
  2. Industrial metal
  3. Folk/Pagan/Viking metal
  4. Symphonic/Gothic metal
  5. Hard punk rock
  6. Hard rock
  7. Orchestral
  8. Traditional/medieval music (Middle East; Western Europe; East Asia)
  9. Piano
  10. Bhangra
As you can see I like a lot of weird things. The list is ordered so yes the one without a genre is my favourite... I always seem to like whatever's least popular.

I know a few with violins, but as you said, it is rare to find such thing.

Here's my list...
  • Metal (all types)
  • Hard Rock
  • Blues (lol, pretty surprising for someone like me:D)
  • Alternative

I haven't got a huge list but still.

You should've made a poll! =P
Actually it's the smarter choice not to with something so vague as this.
As you can see in your own post, there are a lot of divisions of rock and metal, and of course there are more. There are as many in all other genres so it really gets hard to even start on a slightly accurate poll.

Goodness....just an idea. =X

And while encompassing the more general genres such as "Metal" "Country" and "Rap"...people could specify their more specific interests when they post. I just like to see what kind of stuff people listen to, and it's a lot easier with a poll.

But whatevski...This is still perfectly fine ^_^

There are way too many subgenres to every genre so I'll be broad but knowing that I love all music will help a lot.

Rock(all)
Metal(most)
Rap/Hip Hop

Honestly though, if I actually looked through my collection I would probably find all if not most genres in there and I only have it in my collection if I like them, or as long as it's not terrible because there is terrible music in all genres. Listing all of those would obviously take too long so I'll just leave it at those three up there. Here are ten examples of the artists I listen to which will be the first to pop in my head, if they're the first to pop in my head surely there must be a reason why.

Led Zeppelin
Megadeth
Metallica
Black Sabbath
The Eagles
Guns N Roses
Pantera
Iron Maiden
Nirvana
Pink Floyd

As you can see all are rock bands and most would be considered a type of metal. Although I seriously thought of over like 50 artists/bands after those ten, some of which I like better, oh well.

Sorry, I do often come across as though I'm making some kind of unnecessary argument.
