Question of the Day

[ayoub]

How wide a range of music do you listen to?

---

I used to say anything but heavy metal, but they tell me Linkin Park is metal... Really?

I've got loads of different favorite styles for all my different emo moods. Haha... :P

I have some country, some rap/hip-hop, some dance-y disco-y tracks and even some pop.

I've also got tonnes of stuff from musicals(Disney! Broadway! Off-Broadway!).

Mostly, though, lots of variations of rock.

There's instrumental pieces and the more traditional (for our day and age) vocal pieces.

I have songs in English, Filipino, French, Spanish, Korean, Japanese and Mandarin.

Mostly I just stuff whatever I like in my iTunes, so it's a real ragtag clusterfuck melting pot thing-y.

I even tell people that I think the only thing I don't really listen to is Gregorian chant. It's creepy, I think. Horror movies have spoiled it for me. :(

Haha... LONG REPLY... :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Gregorian Chant... LMAO!

Great reply :D

My musical tastes are far and wide. I can be listening to Iron Maiden one minute and then switch to Louis Armstrong the next. There is very little I don't listen too

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A wide range indeed :D

[amante-donne.livejournal.com]

I listen to pretty much anything accept gospel. I have Korn, Placebo, Radiohead, Linkin Park, Erika badu, sade, the cure, big bud, gary numan and loads of other different types of music genre.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Gospel can be fun... Sometimes...

[tears-embrace.livejournal.com]

I listen to just about everything. Not a huge fan of classical, but there are rare occasions it does okay.
Linkin' Park, though, is one of my TOP favorites. :D

Morning, love. Hope you slept well. *soft kiss*

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

I love classical music! :D

Morning :D *smooch* :D

[tears-embrace.livejournal.com]

btw -- just where do you get these QOTDs? I'm interested in maybe started this in my own journal... cuz I think it's super neat. :P

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I wake up every morning and think one up based on what's been on my mind, or discussions with others :D

[1jodie.livejournal.com]

i listen to just about everything except i'm not a big fan of country. however, i do have a couple country cds.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I like a little country... But yeah, it's rare... :D

[libra-dragon.livejournal.com]

I like a bit of everything except heavy metal and rap.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

I grew up listening to hip hop... :D

[heardthatnoise.livejournal.com]

I'll listen to anything once. Then I listen to it again. Then I decide if I want to keep it around.

The short answer is that I listen to everything and have since I was a little girl. My mother and father made sure I had a huge plate full of various types of music to choose from. :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Cool! :D

[erva-doce.livejournal.com]

The only music I'm really not into overall is country and punk. Both drive me nuts...especially punk. But I don't dog it or anything. It's just not for me. I still respect it and think it's a totally valid form of music etc.

Screw trying to label Linkin Park...I only know I like them. :) ANd you know, there's probably SOME punk song out there that I actually do like and just don't know it! No shame in that! It doesn't mean our whole idea of our music taste is whack! ;)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Punk requires a special mood :P

:D

[mighty-rontor.livejournal.com]

I will not listen to Gospel. I can tolerate some country (although I can always listen to bluegrass) and opera for short periods. I hated most of the crap they played on the radio between '93 & '98 because it simply didn't have a pulse. I love just about all metal if it's not bland or repetitive.

In answer to your query, my musical tastes are very, very eclectic. It's easier to list what I don't listen to.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Eclectic... I love that word... Gospel... Well, if I'm in the mood, I'll listen :)

[shadowwolf13]

I used to say anything but classical or heavy metal .... but with the extreme amount of crossover in genres I simply listen to everything and weed out individual songs. So long as I can understand the words I'm happy. :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Great answer!

[honuhoney.livejournal.com]

ditto with your answer. i have a very broad range and as long as i can understand the words and it speaks to me in some way or another, i'll listen to it. :D

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Cool! :D

[alainn-mactire.livejournal.com]

I don't like punk, any chart pop after the mid 90's or the whole "nu-metal" scene (Linkin Park, Slipknot...)

Other than that I have quite wide tastes...Tosca, Lloyd Webber, Gershwin, The Housemartins, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Joan Armatrading, Eva Cassidy, Janis Joplin, Julian Cope, Def Lepperd and John Denver all being favourites :o)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A great list! :D

[1-rhiannon-1.livejournal.com]

I'll listen to pretty much anything except for bluegrass and gospel - never been a fan of either of those.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

[photodiva02.livejournal.com]

ANYthing and EVERYTHING! I have CD's with eighties new wave and musical tunes. For reals.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Awesome! :D

[ktsies2.livejournal.com]

Like everyone else, I listen to almost everything. Though some more recent tunes I have little to no tolerance for, and if I hear Willie Nelson, he's too depressing. Haha.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

LOL! :D

[chiropteraclan.livejournal.com]

Most anything but 99.9999999% rap/hip hop and 80% of country western.

BABE!

[shamrocks-13.livejournal.com]

You hate rap? Babe! What about Eminem? He is a God. *Cries*

[shamrocks-13.livejournal.com]

Oh Lord. Music is my PASSION. I love rap, it is my favorite, and metal, and rock, and Charlie now has me liking Country and frankly? I go well at any party. Me loves the Beatles, and I can do 70's music too.

And yes, Linkin is considered metal these days, they are quite hard. Metal or hard alternative.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Sweet!

[donnickcottage.livejournal.com]

All but hippity hoppity.

[sm00bs.livejournal.com]

You mean, you don't like this?




;)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_magicsocks/]

I listen to everything. From Bluegrass to Heavy Metal. And Linkin Park is metal?? Wow thats a first.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

They're in the Metal section in my local store!

:D

[kdawg.livejournal.com]

Let just say I like everything from Ann Murray to Slipknot! lol

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Cool! :D

[sm00bs.livejournal.com]

I can and do listen to nearly everything. Opera tends to annoy eventually, and I can only handle hardcore metal/rap for a short time or when I'm in certain moods.

My preferences are classical, 80's alternative, Indie, classic rock, new wave, new age, Celtic, Brit pop, acoustic guitar, etc.

It's all rather eclectic.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

A great range!

[fox-bard.livejournal.com]

HUGE! Anything but Gangsta Rap, really. (I'm not a huge Rap fan, period, but if the groove is good and the lyrics are witty, I can still enjoy it.)

Ambient Space music is my truest love. Followed by Celtic. Merge the two, and I'm in bliss.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Have you checked out E.S. Posthumus?

[ldy.livejournal.com]

I like a little bit of everything, and a lot of certain things.

For example, rap and country aren't my favourites, but I can totally get down to some Sugar Hill Gang or Patsy Cline. The "screaming bands" of the last couple of years tend to get on my nerves, but there are a number of pieces of that genre that I enjoy, too. Classical, Jazz, Classic & Prog Rock, Metal, Bluegrass, Disney, Showtunes, Ambient, Opera, World... there's very little I don't listen to at some point or another.

My playlist is crazy-eclectic. You can see whatever I'm listening to here (when I remember to turn it on!): http://mog.com/Ldy

And I wouldn't classify Linkin Park as metal. But that's just me :)

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

:D

Awesome! :D

[dishapeaches.livejournal.com]

Not very wide of a range at all. Metal (all kinds), alternative, and rock only.

[ayoub.livejournal.com]

Rock ON!
