I like pretty much all music except for really obnoxious (IMO!) screamo/deathcore/whatever the fuck you call it music. Basically as long as I can make out what the lead singer is trying to say without having to google it because it is masked by various grunting sounds and shitty overly-heavy guitar playing, I'll give it a shot. I'm not a
huge fan of country, but some of their songs (like
Josh Turner - Firecracker). I used to be a huge metal head, but only relegated to metal genres such as NWOBHM and Glam Metal, but I also did "classic metal" like Ozzy and Black Sabbath and the like. I like classic rock and roll a lot too but I don't listen to it a lot anymore, I think its because I burned myself out over the years and a lot of them aren't still making music (and if they are it isn't the same as their old stuff). I am really into hip hop now, specifically hyphy music (
more). I'm not sure why, the lyrics aren't particularly entertaining, well Mac Dre is usually, but the beat and just the general concept they stand for of being crazy and having a good time is something I can connect to. I also like more down-to-earth hip hop like
Andre Nickatina, mostly because his music actually means something as far as lyrical content goes. HOWEVER, my current favorite artist is probably
dead prez, thanks to Makiri for showing me them. I'm not sure why but just the combination of their beat and their lyrics I just really dig.
Some of their songs. I can't really quantify my favorite artist/song/genre because I like music as a whole. If its got a good message or a decent beat, I'm likely to listen to it. I also change what I like pretty often so it becomes even harder to say what I like. But to list off some of my favorites:
dead prez
Lil Wayne
Andre Nickatina
Motley Crue
Iron Maiden
Mac Dre
Outkast
Kid Cudi
