Silence. |
I was wondering if you meant that you only enjoy prog, so you would prefer silence to any other genres- or do you literally enjoy silence? I try to find silence, but I always hear some kind of ambient noise. I do appreciate the musicality of ambient noise, though. Especially bird-song. I miss the sound of cicadas. They don't have them where I live now.

I love Rusted Root a lot, but I'm not sure what genre they are. Traditional American rock? Jam? Adult Alternative? Not sure but whatever they do I hope more bands are like them. |
I've always considered them kind of a world-beat-influenced jam band.

I really dig me some stoner/desert rock along with traditional doom. Bands like The Atomic Bitchwax, Kyuss and others of their ilk have really taken up the mantle of hard rock. I spent years listening to various sorts of metal and still do to some extent. Bands like The Lord Weird Slough Feg continue to put out amazing, intricate music that pretty much flies under the radar. The whole NWOTHM movement has been producing some great bands. |
I've been getting back into desert rock, lately. I live in Northern Nevada now and some areas around here look like cover art from Kyuss albums, so the tunes fit the vibe. Those bands definitely keep true hard rock alive. The hard rock that gets played on the radio sounds so polished and overproduced to me.

Hate commercial Pop. Don't have much affinity with the 80's era outside of the usual Prog suspects, but, some 80's 'products' I admire a lot ;
KAJAGOOGOO (great musicianship, quirky songs, and Nick Beggs - no doubt, he showed his fellow Leighton-Buzzard band-mates Close To The Edge). And keyboardist Stu Neale's first LP he bought was Sabbath's Vol.4 !!
SADE
HAIRCUT ONE - HUNDRED
JAPAN (though they have unique traits that some Proggers may find alluring)
THE CURE (I seem to cringe at Robert Smith's voice more and more these days, though the music is mostly great)
Opera is difficult for me to appreciate (I got Wakeman's A Suite Of Gods, and I dig the music, but not the voice).
C & W - only certain cuts by The Eagles and The Grateful Dead I can tolerate.
Just don't dig classical, no matter how hard I try.
|
It took me a while to appreciate The Cure because of Robert Smith's voice.

Prog is no longer among my top 3 interests but still a long time member of this forum and still of course enjoy it.
My favorite music genre is classical music (see signature).
Probably black metal and death metal would follow.

I have enjoyed Bathory, Celtic Frost, and Venom for a long time, but I've only recently discovered a lot of black metal and I really like it, especially when they add a new dimension to it like The Botanist, who uses an electric hammered dulcimer as the lead instrument, and Panopticon, mixing banjo and bluegrass elements- dubbed "blackgrass". A great reference site for metal is Encyclopaedia Metallum.

I also like folk-rock bands like Fairport Convention, Steel eye Span, Pentangle. Jazz especially Be-Bop, and some fusion jazz like the john Scofield band, and Bela fleck and the fleck tones. As well as a wide range of classical |
If you like that kind of folk, I recommend John Fahey and Nick Drake. Fahey got kind of avant garde in later years, but his early stuff was very bluesy & folky.

I have no respect for a song which isn't strong in sound and melody. So pretty much every song I like is a prog song. Most rock music after 1983 is a waste of time lol
|
|
All I like is prog related bands beginning late 60's/early 70's. Their music from 1968 - 83 has the composition and sound which will never be beaten. Perfect blend of jazz, classical, folk and rock.

I like Psy-bient music, which is like chill music with catchy experimental sounds. I discovered that genre when I played a game called "Mirror's edge". And the main composer of that game is called Solar Fields. I liked a lot of the music from the game, so I decided to listen to Solar Fields' discography and that's how I discovered that genre.
Another genre I really love is impressionism. I was surfing through Wikipedia, i was reading about classical music because I wanted to know about it. And I discovered this musical period that gets ignored sometimes, I wanted to know about the successor of the romantic period, something more progressive or experimental. I went to Youtube and typed 'Claude Debussy', I listened to Claudio Arrau playing the suite bergamasque and I loved it. And I still love that genre today.
I also like videogame soundtracks, because I used to play videogames before getting into music.

I like most music.. It would be easier for me to say what I hate!..
Old country music, modern country sounds OK. The same goes for RAP, again they have improved! Punk music, I hated that from day one. Stranglers were the only band to have mellowed out in Punk. Heavy metal, again I hate that to a passion, specially the death growls and stupid guitar solo's sounding like horrible noise. Opera music!
Just my opinion!!

I am really starting to appreciate ultra-lo-fidelity recordings from pre-1950 of pretty much any genre. Sometimes I feel we miss the point of the music when we require so much sterility in sound.
Probably just a phase.

I like rock and roll, some blues/R&B, and I've recently been listening to some Jazz and Classical. There's probably thousands of hours worth of music that I would like that I haven't discovered yet.

I mostly gravitate towards indie rock and jazz when I'm straying from prog, but I must say some of my favorite sub-genres of prog are those that crossover with indie or art rock (i.e. "El Cielo"-era Dredg, the Acts of "The Dear Hunter", or "Night"-era Gazpacho) or jazz (i.e. "City of the Sun"-era Seven Impale)
