Other kinds of good music?

[cherub_rocker1979]

We all love and enjoy classical music, but what other kinds of music do Piano Street members enjoy and consider to be good music?

I like rock bands such as Smashing Pumpkins, Kill Hannah, Nine Inch Nails, and Soundgarden.

I also enjoy more electronic bands like KLF, Prodigy, and Depeche Mode.

I am pretty much into bluegrass and trad jazz.

Anything with a banjo in really.

Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

Humorous songs (e.g. Flanders and Swann, Tom Lehrer, Ivor Cutler, Jake Thackray).

The Shout.

I've always had a weakness for stuff that doesn't fit into pigeonholes easily.

And lots of jazz, rock, blues, folk, reggae.....

[shortyshort]

Blues (especially Muddy Waters), 70's & 80's Punk, The Jam, The Who, Pink Floyd. 

I know the last 3 are not "kinds" of music, but I did not know what catagory they would fall in.

[Petter]

Aha! I like bubblegum

Soundgarden.

I dig whenever some Soundgarden comes on, they're a lot of fun!

I grew up on a lot of metal, but don't dig it as much anymore.  Fun to listen to now and again, but I don't seek it.

I like a lot of Tom Waits, The Sadies, Luke Ducet...  One of my favorite discoveries was Klezmer, good stuff!

[thalbergmad]

modernist stuff, though it's not really music

You have seen the light at last.

[minor9th]

I like some extreme metal, such as Morbid Angel, Nile, Necrophagist...very brutal stuff.

[thierry13]

I love system of a down, and others.

Same.

Love this song too.

[pies]

I think I posted this before.

[cherub_rocker1979]

As far as metal goes I like old Metallica and Megadeth from any period.

[ctrastevere]

Continuing with the extreme theme (no rhyme intended...):

They're technically a grind band, but they could definitely also be considered metal. However, my favorite genre aside from classical and metal however will always be jazz -- in all its forms.

[minor9th]

Brain Drill is mighty fast and extreme, too...

(that is indeed a human drummer...not a drum machine!)

[alpacinator1]

I enjoy many types of metal, including power, progressive, avant-garde, folk and viking.

[mephisto]

I enjoy a lot of differet types of music. Even classical music it self provides extremely different styles of music. For instance Bach and Penderecki!

Very brutal metal is very much my thing right now. Such as Meshuggah.

Also hard-core punk, different types of folk music, Jazz, much rock, and of course Rihanna

[lucylucy]

rock'n'roll is the bessssssssssst
rolling stones, beatles, libertines, babyshambles, placebo, velvet underground, guns'n'rose and much moooooooore 

[Etude]

I like... Aphex Twin, Autechre, Death, Primus, Strapping Young Lad/Devin Townsend, Opeth, Meshuggah, Nile, Venetian Snares, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Jaco Pastorius/Weather Report, Megadeth, Rush, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Pink Floyd, and a few others.

What a fun list you have there Lucy!

[concerto_love]

well, I like some pop songs, but not too much.... I like Japanese anime's theme songs...

[lucylucy]

What a fun list you have there Lucy!

why ? ^^

[tds]

why ? ^^

congratulations, lucylucy. you have asked the "why" question.

[Essyne]

Indie and anything 80's.

Well, okay, tbh, as long as it's not "JAZZ" jazz (if that makes any sense at all - the really stereotypical, non-Gershwin-ey type ), it's okay. I'm cool w/ jazz, just not that "steamy, let's try wayyyy too hard to be overtly sexual" type.

EDIT: as long as it's not "JAZZ" jazz or pop. . forgot about that little "genre."

[popdog]

As far as metal goes I like old Metallica and Megadeth from any period.

80s Metallica is excellent.  I was at the pub once and they played the first half of Kill em All - it's the best drinking music.  Megadeth is good as well, although I don't know them that well and never really liked Mustaine's vocals.
