How open minded are you to music?

Those early symphonies were pretty sh*tty... except the first one. I like that one.

Allright then. And yeah the Symphony 41 is great. I think in that movie the best ones are Kyrie from C minor mass and Don Giovanni comedatore scene.

Don Giovanni is indeed incredibly powerful and I always cite is as an example when Beethoven d!ckriders try to pretend that Mozart only makes light classical music with no emotional punch.

I always thought you were one of those:o

Nope. I like Beethoven and all, but I've never understood the obsession with him. I much prefer Mozart. I prefer Bach and Haydn as well.

Im not antisymphonic.

I'll listen to anything.

Theres no such thing as a bad genre. A genre is a style, a type, therefore it can't suck, because, so long as is in the correct hands, any song can be a masterpiece regardless of genre.

What CAN be bad, is the artist.

I can listen to a variety of music but I mainly listen to eletronic music, mainly groups like The Prodigy, Fluke, Hybrid, Orbital and others.

I like almost all music (just not jazz).

You.... Bítch.

Mildly close minded. Chances are if it doesn't fall under the category of Punk, Rock, or Blues then I don't really "listen" to it. I like other stuff from outside those genres but I don't actively pursue them or buy their albums.

Stuff like this.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd8YojAaICU&feature=related

No way could i listen to that.

But that songs awesome :(

My taste in music ranges from noisegrind to classical, so pretty varied

I can appreciate music from a wide variety of genres, I just choose to listen to a select few religiously.

I listen to everything, but there are some genres that I'm not that into. Metal and country for instance.krazykillaz

I like some older country. For instance, I like Glen Campbell. Galveston is a gorgeous song.

But then again, Pirate told me that Glen Campbell wasn't true country, and he's the expert on that particular genre.

Of course. We're not one of those "drink punch and take a nap" cults either.

Extremely. You have to be when you're the driving force behind a drone/noise/ambient outfit, frequent EDM festivals and have a number of indie bands to see over the next few months.

I listen to many genre of music but I still have standards.

Rap and Hip-Hop bore me because the beats are so damn repetitive. I prefer music with some progression, where the end of the song sounds completely different than the beginning, and the body of the piece transitions smoothly from beginning to end.

Country gets on my nerves because I don't like twangy guitar or lyrics. Metal annoys me because the guitars overpower everything (to the extent it sounds like the guitars waveform is truncated at the top end most of the time). Etc., etc.

But I still like a lot of music. Rock (most of its sub-genres), punk (the 70's and 80's stuff) jazz, swing, big band, etc. Hell, I even fire up some Gregorian chants every now and again.

Depends on the genre really, I like some but I despise others.

Always wanted to go to some EDM festivals. Been looking to get more into jungle, house, and hardcore recently...Saturos3091

Fvcking awesome. Sadly I don't know anyone interested in even listening to the music, and coming from the northeast United States there's no way I'd be able to find a solid EDM festival. Our festivals are filled with third-rate pop artists and country-rock stars and it costs ninety bones to hit up a show. Then again we got MDF to make up for all the lame.Saturos3091

I heard Ghola will be there.

i like everything from 80's pop, r&b, soul, rap, disco, to metal, to punk, to classic rock to reggae to stuff like krautrock, jazz fusion, avant garde rock, classical music, electronic music, to wierd stuff that is hard to put into a genre. i have even been getting into world music and outsider music.

im not open minded to new music though, ill admit.

What are some examples of that?

I listen to all kinds of music but most modern day music is terrible.

I'm open minded to all genres, except Country really. but there is a song in every genre that I like, I mostly just stick from pop/soft rock to heavy metal.But i perfer metalcore,& deathcore.

I listen to mostly 4 genere three are. Rap (not todays music. if it sounds good) some rock (if it sounds good) Jazz, and video game music.

I used to mainly listen to alternative rock/indie, but now I've been listening to Jpop and some DnB

Oh and anime music. Starting to listening to voicaid music.

Well, i can think of some progressive songs that do that, but they are rather rare, and i don't believe for a second that all the songs he likes are like that.

I pretty much listen to anything as long as it's good but don't really enjoy rap or country all that much.

The only kind of music I really can't stand to listen to for very long is heavy metal.

Anything but modern RnB (Usher, Chris Brown, Rihanna, etc.).

Moderately open minded I think. I mostly listen to rock and punk, but I listen to some rap, pop, metal, folk, blues, etc. Not really a fan of jazz, progressive rock and most rap though.

sometimes

I think most people listen to a wide range of genres. In fact, people who know less about music and just look for whatever happens to catch their ear are often much more open-minded about music (in my experience) than those who claim to be music experts, or what would popularly be referred to as an "elitist".

I personally will listen to almost anything that sounds good to me. I do draw the line somewhere, but it's typically where talent ends and talentless begins.

I listen to everything from Amy Winehouse to Slayer
