Is it lonely up there on your pedestal?

You should go to Metal-Archives. Or ANUS. We try to be a little more open with our tastes here.

I know...but you don't know how spoiled and annoying mainstream listeners are here.
BTW I never listened to any music that isn't metal.

Generalizing won't get you very far in a community like this.

And that's too bad. There's plenty of good music outside of the metal realm.

Awesome bunch, Beast Boy would fit right in.

Strangely, before I started exploring the metal genre I listened almost exclusively to minimal, ambient and abstract electronic music (Autechre, Susumu Yokota, Murcof, Nobukazu Takemura, etc) But I haven't been listening to this stuff since over a year now, I'm just too busy discovering metal genres and bands.

Hard rock, traditional hard rock like Kiss, AC/DC, Deep Purple, etc.

Electronica, everything from Kraftwerk to Skrillex.

And as to why... It coincides with why I listen to Metal. Metal is more interesting than other genres, to me. There's more instrumentation involved, broader vocal use, etc. Other genres that do the same just aren't that appealing.

Though, I believe that any type of genre that falls under Electronica (Trance, House, Dub Step, etc.) are equally as technical as Metal. Granted, a lot of it is rather repetitive, but there is something to say about the level of production that goes into Electronica. Plus, the live performances are interesting to witness. Seeing as someone can produce so much interesting sound with just a keyboard, a synthesizer, and some midi boxes.

Pretty gnarly.

Oh, yes, and classical. Mozart, Beethoven and Bach. With a few smatterings of others here and there.

I really enjoy 90s hip-hop and gangsta rap.
That's what I liked before I started liking metal actually.

Even if metal must be over 95% of the stuff I listen, I always liked some classical like Músorgski, Verdi and Bach...

Apart that I'm getting more and more interested in Ambient / Noise and anything that's fucked up like Stalaggh and Abruptum (newer and old, even if it has some BM touch).

Probably progressive rock. I adore Canterbury scene bands like Caravan and Soft Machine, but I would say Gentle Giant are a personal favourite [Octopus includes some of the most skilled music I have ever heard] I like rock and roll too, I listen to Link Wray a crazy amount.

Sevdah (Bosnian traditional music)

I'm quite a fan of Classic Rock such as Boston, ZZ Top, Billy Squier and Ted Nugent.
Believe it or not, I'm also a fan of the Oldies. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the Ink Spots. Guess I've been playing too much Fallout.

Am I the only one that finds it odd that there is not much love for Darkwave on a metal website?

(ignore the gay-as-all-imaginable-hell image, though)




I'd also appreciate some recommendations, but try not to name the wide-known popular bands, chances are that I know them already.

I've never bothered to check any darkwave bands out, but from what I heard it isn't too shabby. Early synth pop + gothic rock sort of thing.

I quite like Darkwave but know next to nothing about it (I imagine Der is probably the guy to ask for that).

Richard Lederer from Summoning has/had a cool Darkwave project called Ice Ages

I'll check their/his asses/ass out then I guess.

Just to keep the Darkwave wave (oh teh punz!) going:

Progressive rock, classic rock and punk rock

At the moment I listen to alot of punk rock, blues and classic rock

I love classic rock, almost as much as metal, and I also like my share of classic/outlaw country. I've also been getting into a lot of blues lately.
