What is your favorite genre of music?

[Buffy]

No country music either, though I sure wouldn't have picked that.

Yikes! No Jerry Jeff Walker? No Waylon Jennings? No Carl Perkins? No Chet Atkins? No Flatt & Scruggs? (well Carl went Rockabilly and F&S went bluegrass, but they started country...) Say it ain't so Joe!

 

Cheers,

Buffy

[Queso]

don't get me wrong. i am in love with progressive music, i meant there were none on the list. perish the thought indeed!

[Buffy]

Yer way too cool not to like progressive Orb, I was agreeing with you!

 

To the rest of you, make sure you understand this: Orb and Buffy love progressive!

 

Improvising,

Buffy

For me, just about 99% of my music collection would qualify as "foreign". :)

Yee haw!

[Biochemist]

Yes, but where do we put Cole POrter and Gershwin (for when I am tickling the keys)? In Jazz/Blues with Thelonius Monk and BB King?

 

I wonder how many categories there realloy are? Must be hundreds.

[Queso]

hundreds at least! and then there's the product of combining the two genres, or three, or twenty. cross breeding music to form new genres. it's probably endless. there's always something new.

Would that be considered Genretic Engineering?? :xx:

Or.... :) Evolution?

Music recently has just been recombinations of the past. The last "new" musical genre could really be considered rap (Possibly electronica, but that seems to fit in already defined genres with just new instumentation). Prior to that the biggest shift in the musical landscap came from jazz. Rock is just a combination of these forms, and while "it's got a good beat and I can dance to ity; I give it a 57" it really is not pushing the musical envelope much further than it already has been. about the only innovation in rock is VOLUME!

sorry but there is simply not enough room for all the genres on this earth. please just answer as you feel appropriate. thank you :xx:

Foreign means not of the language that you speak the most frequent.

[niviene]

For me, just about 99% of my music collection would qualify as "foreign". :hihi:

 

I hadn't considered that... I suppose foreign would be relative.. :xx:

 

My mood changes - when I am studying, I listen to classical... sometimes I listen to oldies when I'm driving (helps keep me from being an angry driver... :D) and occasionally classic rock....

[Kukucan]

I am partial to classical piano, but also strings, especially in small groups like trios, quartets, etc. Classical guitar is also nice to listen to.
