How Diverse is your musical taste?

Just curious about the orgers. How diverse is your music taste? What artists do you regularly listen to, what genres etc?

I'll listen to pretty much anything from renaissance polyphony to Lady Gaga. The only thing I don't much care for is metal - of any variety.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

It depends... I tend to like individual artists, who happen to fall within' a genre.

I don't consider myself a Metalhead---yet, Iron Maiden, King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, Megadeth, Death, Carcass and Metallica are some of my favorite bands.

I don't consider myself a country fan, yet I love Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley.

I don't consider myself a fan of AOR or Pop/Metal... but, I love Kansas, Journey, Dokken and Europe.

Truly not a fan of Christian or Gospel music, but love Crystal Lewis, Michael Tate and Mary Mary.

I'm not generally a fan of R&B solo artists who just stand up and sing and don't play instruments, yet I love Eric Benet, Shanice and Kelly Price.

My favorite artists span all sorts of genres.... classic 70's soul, 80's Pop, English New Wave, 60's British Invasion, Fusion, Progressive, Smooth Jazz, Acoustic singer-songwriter, Shred Guitar, Blues Rock...

The only thing that truly makes me turn off the radio is Mighty Clouds of Joy/Quartet style Southern Gospel. I can't name any Punk Rock or Indie Rock type bands that I like either.

It depends. There are certain artists that I completely dig, of any genre: the Stones, but also Depeche Mode, then Elvis, heavy metal, funk, motown, etc

I also own the best songs of many artists that have, for me, 5 or 6 truly good songs but that's all.

Jazz is probably the only genre that I don't care for. I completely support classic music and it's NOT overrated, but jazz??' wow, take me someplace else... headache

i personally like rock/hard rock, funk, pop, r&b, disco. And some metal songs. I like a few Stevie Ray Vaughan songs and just bought a couple of albums, i want to see if i can get into blues.

I've never tried listening to jazz or classical but i'll try in the future.

R&B/Soul, Pop, Rock, Country, Jazz, Gospel, Hip-Hop, Classical, Folk. Really, the only genre I never liked is Reggae and that Dance Techno stuff irritates me. Otherwise, I grew up immersed in just about every musical genre.

Yeah! I kinda agree with that statement... not word for word or artist for artist, but the general meaning! I don't care for genres... it's all music and as long as I like the songs, I don't care what genre it is!

I'm not going tgo sit here and claim my musical tastes are super-diverse, it'd be a lie. Sure, Ican probably name off at least one song in every genre that I like...but! There's only like two or three genres I listen to with any regularity.

The charts are not accurate how I rate them just pretty much what I’m listening to now and not everyone I like is on it yet.

I'm very particular about music (and most things). My range is not very broad or diverse.

Right now, on any given day there is probably a 80% chance that I am listening to one of the following:

Roy Hargrove, Robert Glasper, Gerald Clayton, Rahsaan Patterson, Mint Condition, Everything But the Girl, Naked Music

I certainly like other artists (typically in the genres of contemporary jazz, adult r&b, and deep house) but I don't veer far.

Don't like most country and metal music. And most Jazz music, too pretenious for my liking. The rest really just depends on the song.

how is it possible that orgers like nearly every kinda music out there in 1001 different genres, but on the other hand most orgers will agree that practically everything you hear on the radio and the charts is rubbish?

inquiring minds want to know razz

Adorecream

Mostly 1970s rock, late 60s rock, 80s pop, 80s new wave, new romantic, 50s doo wop, rock and roll, 60s soul and Motown pop, 70s soul and funk, 80s electro pop, 80s black vocal (Whitney Houston etc), 80s male black vocals and pop (Prince, Lionel Richie) 70s disco, 80s dance, 90s funk, 1980 -1991 rap and late 80s, early 90s new jack swing eg Guy, Heavy D, Bobby Brown, Bel Biv Devoe, McHammer

Female easy listening vocals (Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Shirley Bassey), Male easy listening (Elton John, Dean Martin, Sinatra etc), David Bowie, Roxy Music, Glam Rock,

More avant garde stuff - George Benson and Classical Music particularly Adagio for Strings, Elgar, Holst's the Planets (Thanks to my elder and more hi brow partner)

Camp and over the top disco like Sylvester, Boney M, Charo, EWF, Sister Sledge etc.

Yeah theres more to me than liking Prince, hes just the favourite but my top 5 change week to week, I listen to virtually no chart music made after 1996 and no rap music made after 1992 or that is gangsta tinged.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name
