Since I haven't seen a good music thread lately...I will say an opinion (OMG?)

Here are some of my opinions on Musical Genres:

Rock - I love Classic Rock. I find Rock music from the 50s to be good, but sometimes it can be heavily repetitive. Folk-Rock combine to make a beautiful Genre. Modern Rock is okay, but MTV has completely ruined good Rock music. I believe there are some very good Modern Mainstream Rock bands/artists, though. Such as The Strokes, or OK Go. However, I think that The Allman Brothers Band are the best Rock Band ever (Yes, I am prepared for the horrendous flaming for that statement).

Mexican - Pretty much all new Mexican Music (Tejano) is terrible. However, Ranchera, and the more traditional mexican music is beautiful, and those classic artists could write songs above the same ADADAE scales. I love Mexican Music. My second favorite Genre

Blues - Yes, sometimes it is heavily repetitive. I believe that it is not very hard to write a blues song, but I think that blues guitarists (Stevie Ray Vaughan, Robert Johnson, Jimi Hendrix) generally have more talent than your average Rock guitarist

Rap - Obviously I dislike artists like Nelly, and 50 Cent. I do think that Kanye West (Although a huge ego) is a good Rapper and I think Outkast makes the best Hip-Hop music. I really liked "Idlewild Blue" by them. I really don't listen to much Rap or Hip Hop

Classical - I love it. I just recently got into it, and I love the composition. My favorite song is Claude DeBussy's "Clair De Lune", performed in D major by John Williams and Julian Bream

Metal - I haven't heard every metal song. Judging from the ones I have heard, I find it to care more about the level of "hardcore-ness" than actual composition. I find it be far less a greater genre than Rap, and sometimes it can take very little talent to make. I either haven't cared for a Metal song, or I disliked a metal song. I have never heard a metal song I like. Guitarist tend to focus too much on speed sometimes. IT ISN'T THAT HARD TO PLAY A GUITAR FAST!

Soul - Stevie Wonder is definitely one of the top 5 greatest musical minds of the 20th century. He is the best Soul artist. "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" has great songwriting and vocals. He is innovative, and a great singer. I also like Earth, Wind & Fire, Al Green, Marving Gaye and some others.

Carlos_Santana

Everything in that category I agree with and enjoy.

Except Rap....the worst form of "music" ever to grace this planet. From the way its marketed, the way its hyped, the fashion, and the fans....most of which are dumber than a pile of horse manure.

Hahaha no. Nu metal is the worst kind of metal

 @TC, You want metal with composition. Listen to Therion. They are a godly symphonic band although they're the only one I listen to, so my opinion of them is highly inflated:|

:|I never said it was.

I like The Trooper by Iron Maiden for metal.  But I'm sure you've already heard it.  If you consider it metal, The Seven Seas of Rhye would be my favorite.

I'm watching the video. It's not something I would ever listen to, but the bass solo was pretty good.askzander

Well it's certainly not for everybody.

Does anyone want to talk about a genre that's not metal?askzander

Let's talk about progressive rock, and when I say progressive rock, I mean King Crimson cause that's the only prog rock band I listen to:|
