What genre of music dominates your music collection?

Indie.

And yes, I'm well aware that Indie isn't actually a genre, but the info is automatically filled in whenever I rip a CD and I'm too lazy to change it.

That's true of basically every music genre (including basically every metal subgenre). :P

Except in the case of stuff like pop and rap, where the ratio is more like 1000-1. :P

[QUOTE="DivergeUnify"][QUOTE="cyberdarkkid"] 8) This. Except for the Death Metal part, I think it still hasn't caught up to some other genres I have since I have barely started finding decent or awesome DM bands . Electronic combined with techno, house, and trance are also up there if you put metal aside.chessmaster1989

I do listen to some non-melodeath (Death, Morbid Angel, Bolt Thrower, Nile, starting to like Atheist), but you have a point.

Classic Rock, Hard Rock, pretty much any kind of rock other then all this new stuff that claims to be rock.

Mostly hard rock, metal, or progressive rock/metal. Also some classics like Pink Floyd.

Most of mine is metal of the heavy variation. Though I do have a bit of everything in my collection.

industrial. no contest.

Alt Rock/Indie/Metal

Melodic Death Metal, with Progressive Metal coming in as a close second. Darth-Caedus

Really, I thought it would be pop. :o

Seriously, though, I do need to break up my metal into subgenres... right now it's all just labeled metal. :P

Huh... Not many Alternative people i see. I guess ima have to represent that side of things. Alternative rock for me, followed by Psychedelic.

Categorizing metal bands is annoying sometimes... stupid Kamelot and their symphonic and power metal :x

Its pretty much all underground rap followed by metal and everything by Pink Floyd. I need to look for more metal though.Bruin4ev3r1520

most of it is metal, but I have a pretty good selection of indie and alt rock.

They've got an interesting sound, I must say. I'm not in love, but they sound pretty good. I'll have to check out more by them.

Also, screw Kamelot and their multi-genre crap (okay, no, they're one of my favorite bands so I forgive them), I'm probably just going to label them symphonic and be done with it. :x

I would just label them Symphonic Power Metal >.>:P

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="Darth-Caedus"] Yup, I know:x (Off topic) BTW, have you listened to the band Diablo Swing Orchestra? Great Avant Garde Metal band.

Or you could just label then Symphonic Power Metal:P

But that would make way too much sense... :x

Okay, fine, you're right, that does make the most sense. :P

By the way, what are Bolt Thrower and Nile? Techincal Death Metal? Also, would Death just qualify as Death Metal, or is there a specific subgenre for it?

I'm not too good on DM subgenres. :P

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"]

[QUOTE="Toriko42"] It's all subjective, I feel the same way about Metal. I find one band I like, Mercyful Fate, and then everything else I listen to blows.... Subjectivism is my friend :PToriko42

I just like Hip Hop a lot more then metal, I think Hip Hop is something I just appreciate more because I respect clever writing and I love bass and well done Hip Hop production. I also think in terms of vocals the great hip hop artists are unbeatable.

Heaven and Hell and Mob Rules are definitely worth buying, imo.

Mostly Progressive Metal.

Chessmaster, would you consider it cheating if I checked out the 30 second bits on iTunes of the bands you've posted? :P

Not really. Better if you check out whole songs, but I sometimes cheat and use iTunes as well. :P

That's why I usually don't cheat and use iTunes. :P

Oh, and it turns out that Heavy Metal is by far the most common subgenre of metal I have. I have nearly three times as much of it as of the next genre. :P

But, then again, I do still have a lot of music I want to buy, and not that much more Heavy Metal I want to buy...

I normally hate using broad terms for music but for the sake of saving time, alternative. :P

rock and it's sub genres. Hip hop and electronica will have a hard time catching up.

psychobilly and rockabilly more than anything

followed by psycho jungle p***y punk and yes its a genre
