I've been thinking about this topic lately,they all have goodartists and bad artists. Can't music fans just accept their diffrnences?

Discuss your overall opinion of each genre

if everyone equally appreciated all kinds of music, then what would be the point of talking about them? it would almost defeat the purpose of OT.

Why do people have such a problem with criticism and analysis? What's so wrong about voicing opinions instead of just being passive all the time?

I appreciate all genres of music. Except bluegrass and polka. Other than that I can certainly find music to listen to in the genres.

I really enjoy both classic rock and metal... hard to decide between those two. I don't like rap... at all.

I can't stand hip hop. It lacks engaging melodies and interesting sounds. Metal is no better. To me it seems too obsessed with trying to show of to everybody else. (that was a lot of to/too's...) Rock is my favourite, and even then I only like certain sub-genres of the genre. A lot of the stuff sounds the same...

Of these three genres I prefer Rock. Then after that it is probably a tie between metal and hip hop, I don't really like any specific artists, just some songs I like.

I like everything except most country, and even then there are some songs and artists which catch my ear. I don't specifically like metal, but that's not to say some of the songs there aren't good. Rock and Rap/Hip-Hop are my favorite two genres. And indie. Well, like I said, I like everything. If it sounds good to me, I'll listen. Basically sums it up right there.

I enjoy rock the most out of those but I don't mind a blend of two of those from time to time. For example, Rage Against the Machine is an excellent blend of hip-hop vocals with the heavy riffs that belong to metal. Also, tock/hip-hop blends are enjoyable as well (such as The Roots). However, I think a mix of rock and metal is called "hard rock" if I remember correctly and there are a few I like from that blend as well like Queens of the Stone Age.

In short: All three genres have their gems and blending them never hurts either.

That is all.

I listen to metal and (some) classic rock, and I like some underground hip-hop. I don't mind debates or discussions, that is why we post on here after all.

I would like to know too since I've choreographed dance to metal music. I for one think my tastes in music is diverse enough that I am able to find really great songs from different genres from different musicians.

I think its all a matter of preference. For example, I love rock but for the most part don't enjoy metal or hip hop.

I enjoy rock the most (classic rock to be exact), but I like some music from both metal and rap as well. And I don't mind debating music tastes, as long as the discussion is respectful.

I listen to some rock. I like post rock. Mogwai for example. I like classical music like Brahms or Chopin. Mostly classical from the romantic period. But I do like the usual stars from previous periods like Bach and Mozart. I listen to Jazz as well. Mostly cool Jazz and fusion Jazz. I love The Weather Report and Jaco Pastorius's solo work as well. Chick Corea is ok only in small doses though. I like some techno and trance. Daft punk and Robert Miles. I probably listen to metal the most. Big Iron Maiden fan. Alot of the metal I like is mostly progressive like Dream Theater or power metal like Dragonforce, Rhapsody of fire, Avantasia, and just about all of Arjen Anthony Lucassen's work.

Rock, then metal (Metallica and Iron Maiden rather than black or death metal) and hip-hop a very distant third. In fact, I don't think I've come across any hip-hop I've liked (though my trawls through the genre haven't been extensive).

I think rock and metal are pretty are much tied, with hip hop coming in last. Not to say hip hop( more specifically rap) is bad, but the artists of the genre aren't as prolific, nor numerous

Polka is awesome! Most current Hip-Hop...bad. Old ones from 90s and real early 00's. Good. Rock is also good. Metal is too loud for me...:|

hip hop is a flip flop the other two are okay but rock is better as it caters to a larger audience.

Hip hop - I like but Majority of the songs I hear now is whack. I like the old stuff better. Maybe I should make a song about peanut butter. :P rock- not a fan of but I like certain songs though. metal- not a fan of (don't want to hear someone that's constantly yelling in my ear) I absolutely agree with you. Everyone does have a good artist and a bad one. I've seen some people on here say rap sucks, rock is awsome! or metal is awsome But we all have different opinions though.

I'm with you there, I dislike a lot of genres, but I can appreciate the talent behind it. For example, I dislike classical musical, but I'll never deny the genius behind Chopan, Mozart or Beethoven.

Also, I'm a Red Wings fan, your sig offends me. :P It was a hell of a series, I really thought Detroit had it after beating them to a pulp in Game 5.

I enjoy metal the most, but I enjoy listening to music a lot so I won't ever keep myself from checking out other things. Hip-hop is good so I listen to it every now and then but I just don't find it as musically interesting as other things. And it doesn't help that it seems there's a lot of rap albums that are an hour or more long with filler. That makes it even harder to keep my attention.

Metal (Mostly power/metalcore and the more mainstream death metal bands like inflames and soilwork, don't like a anything outside of that), rock.. european pop and some rap I've gotten into lately, but I still don't like the majority of it.

Rock- I don't like most of the stuff they play on the radio, but there are a few bands I like.

Metal- I hate most of it. I can appreciate the technical skill that goes into it, but I don't see a lot of creativity or variety from the genre, and the constant screaming is desensitizing.

Rap- Again I don't like the radio stuff(Except Lupe Fiasco), but it's not hard to find some really good indie hip-hop.

Hip-hop is awesome. It'smusical poetry at its finest. The beats in hip-hop can also be pretty cool, especially if you have a good sound system, but the main reason why I like rap is for the lyrics and flow. Many people can'tunderstand the gangsta lingo, and to be honest, I can't at times either, but I almost think of it like Shakespere. You have to kind of read between the lines, so to speak. NOT that I'm comparing rappers to Shakespere, I'm just saying that neither can really be taken as face value. I dig old school west coast, but when it comes to 21st century rap, I like east coast. Rap can be violent, unlawful, and misogynistic, but it's nothing to be taken seriously. Although, some rappers do take it a bit far.

Metal is also a decent form of music, but it confuses me.One thing that gets on me about metal is how extreme it can be. For example, Cannibal Corpse. The music is bad, so bad. Why are the instruments so spastic? Why does the singer sound like cookie monster? Why are the lyrics so screwed up? I'm justusing this band as an example, because I know there are more bands out there like this.
