Other Types of Music
 

I noticed that a lot of us listen to other types of music besides R&B. What do you like to listen to. For me: Merengue, Alternative, Salsa.. Feel free to talk about music groups also

I am mainly a hip-hop head but I pretty much get down with any kind of music...accept for COUNTRY (uggghhh)
You name it I probably have music from all of the genres..I think thats how I influence my own music.

Mainstream jazz, the good old John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Stan Kenton stuff. Kenny G isn't jazz.

Aside from R&B, I listen to a lot of Alternative, Top 40ish, Rock type music...Some of my favorites are the Wallflowers, Everclear, Natalie Merchant...I love Lenny Kravitz. Just to name a few. But I can really listen to anything EXCEPT country, gangster rap, and classical.

Salsa and merengue is hot too.

from working in a country radio station...country grew on me. i like the old gangster rap and old heavy metal.

i like merengue and salsa and i love to dance it, too.

i love the blues.

I like all kinds of music. I love rap, hip-hop, r&b, classical, Reggae (dancehall and roots, soca, calypso, some blues, some country, pop, some heavy metal, some techno..there's really not much I don't like.

MURDERER - Buju Banton


Chorus:
Murderer! Blood upon your shoulders
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow
Murder! Your insides must be hollow
How does it feel to take the life of another

Yes, you can hide from man but not your conscience
You eat the bread of sorrow
Drink the wine of violence
Allow yourself to be conquered by the serpent
Why did you disobey the first commandment
Walk through the valley I fear no pestilence
God is my witness and He is my evidence
Lift up mine eyes from whence cometh help
You will never escape this judgement.....

http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I love all types of music!

Now I can tolerate a little country. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/rolleyes.gif

When you really want to relax there is a Excellent Classical Relaxation Series!

I listen to Lenny Kravtiz, Fionne Apple, Natalie Merchant, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Creed, No Doubt (Gwen from Eve's Video)!

My Love of Course is Gospel,R&B,Hip-Hop, Jazz,Reggae,Salsa (wish I could salsa)!

something that is funny, me and boyfriend will watch the Behind the Music on VH1 on different types of music all day long..

It helps out in the business world to know other types of music, espically since it is a "Universal Language", http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif I didn't mean to get off the subject!

Ok!

MISS P.R.I.S.S.

My one true love is Gospel/Contemporary Christian. Besides that I listen to jazz and every now and then slow jams from the ole school.

mainly jazz...but i listen to a little bit of everything...except hard country...it irritates me...but jazz/old school/and hip-hop are what i listen to the most...

I like real roots Reggae(old Marley, Dennis Brown, Yellowman, Wailers). I also like Salsa, and contemporary Jazz.

There isn't too much music I don't like. I've even embraced some country like The Dixie Chicks. I like a variety of sounds, depending on my mood.
Check out Joey McIntyre's new album Meet Joe Mac (I have to advertise everywhere cuz that's my baby!!!)

i really like alternative r&b and neo-soul...music that i am feeling now is res, nikka costa, rahsaan patterson, n'dambi, jazzyfatnastees, grenique to name a few...

i love lenny kravitz too! 5 is an excellent cd...

I listen to R&B, Rap, Pop, Easy listening, Oldies Alternative...just about anything. If it has a nice beat and I can dance or sway to it, it's all good with me!:D

I love gospel, reggae, neosoul, blues and hip-hop. I like to listen to Alicia Keys, Rafael Saadiq and Floetry:)

In my collection besides R&B and Hip Hop, there is lots of jazz (Coltrane to Hancock, Sample to Sanborn and I LURVE Latin Jazz - Cal Tjader and Eddie Palmieri and Poncho Sanchez are my favorites, rock (the Doors, the Police, Lenny Kravitz and Santana). I agree with the poster who said Kenny G ain't jazz - his stuff is awful :mad:

I like all types of music, even a little heavy metal. I need to really brush up on my jazz, cuz I'm not knowing :(

I grew up on Jazz and hated it because that was all my dad played (prof drummer) now i find myself buying all the albums on cd that he had on record (300+) I love Miles, Coltrane, Nancy, Bette, Al Jarreau, to name a few.

I also love 70's music: Earth Wind and Fire, Isley Bro's and some others from that time.

I do listen to Opera from time to time: love Mozart's Requiem Mass (the Lacrimosa Te part especially), Aida and others

Love Ole skool rap (85-95) and house/club music. I miss b-more house (has it's own flava).

Just can't do country/western. sorry it grates my ears

But i do love 80's music (duran duran, eurythmics, the police go-go's....great music)

I love Salsa !!!! But I also enjoy Club and Old School R&B ( Chi-Lites, Blue Magic, E,W & F)

i am so in linkin park although i don't care for the remixed version with jayz.

i love alternative and rock.

papa roach, disturbed and korn a fave on the ipod.

I can deal with most stuff but What I can NOT do is any current rap only the old school ORIGINAL stuff ie Kool Moe Dee, Salt n Pepa Run DMC, LLCool J, Soror MC Lyte, etc...
I can do a little (very little) country. I love classical, electronica (trance, house etc..) and swing. I like some jazz no pprogressive though. Old school R&B, some pop, 80's rock, new wave, 80's metal (a select few songs) disco:p, New age (Enya), and Opera*ish(Russell Watson, Charlotte Church )

I love all types of music: Since I've been playing the piano and viola for over 20 years - I have developed a great appreciation for various types of music. I tend to like music not of the norm as well. Here are a few CD's I own categorized by me:

R&B various artists; no one in particular - I just bought the Mary CD - I love the duet with U2.

I also love various Chutney/Soca/Reggae Artists as well:
-Alison Hinds
-Gregory Issacs (Old School)
-Berris Hammond
-Sanchez

I basically listen to most genres of music, with the exception of about 3 or 4, but deep house music is the only genre that can keep me on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. I'm talking at least 4-6 consecutive hours of dancing.
*I *heart* Masters at Work and music from Paradise Garage (although I never made it there being to young and all at the time - sigh)*

I'm with you, I like a little bit of everything. My music collection goes from Wu-Tang and M.O.P. to Alanis Morrisette to the soundtrack for Phantom of the Opera. I'm just a music person, period. My father listened to Miles Davis and John Coltrane and my mother listened to the Beatles and Janice Joplin. I grew up listening to R&B and hip-hop. So, I'm a mixture, musically and otherwise. :)

music is my life!

Although my radio is set to the "urban adult" station, my cd collection is full of traditional jazz, rock/light metal, and gospel.

Lately i've been adding latin jazz and 80's pop to the collection.

80s
80s rock music (I *heart* Motley Crue!)
jazz
hip hop (Little Brother and The Foreign Exchange)
old school rap
pop
a little country (Reba and Faith)
R&B
and Metallica. They get their own designation.. lol.

4 to 6 hours:eek: Dang girl youre a PRO!!:) I can go for a couple of hours but thats it!

I listen to everything EXCEPT acid/heavy metal rock. Yes, I even listen to country.

I listen primarily to the Christian version of R&B/Hip hop. Here is my FAVORITE station. If you've never listened to contemporary christan "R&B or Hip hop" you will be amazed!

http://www.zradio.org/player/player_platinum_hot.html

I also listen to alternative and rock (again mostly Christian) although I will forever love me some Madonna, No Doubt, and anything 80s!!!!!

I can't do country although I do like Sarah Harmer (is she even considered country?)

I'm a BIG fan of Contemporary Christian, I like it more than Gospel b/c it's what I grew up on.....so Natalie Grant, Stacie Orrico, ZoeGirl, Jeremy Camp, Casting Crowns, all great to me! I still don't know many Gospel artists at all, but I listen to it now more than I used to. I also love alternative more than hip/hop, I'm big on Jason Mraz, Barenaked Ladies, Lifehouse, Bowling for Soup, and I'm getting into Maroon 5.

I love music with that 70s disco sound.

I'm digging that new single (and video) by Madonna called "Hung up." That takes me back to that era.

I'm an old soul when it comes to music.

I absolutely l.o.v.e her self-titled album.

I also like old school hip-hop, Little Brother, and Metallica. I'm not up on The Foreign Exchange though. I must look into that.

I love any type of music, from classic r+b (with the Philly sound) to hard rock (I love Led Zeppelin's "Cashmir"). My mother raised me on country (Dolly Parton, Ricky Skaggs, Kenny Rogers) and blues (Koko Taylor and Johnny "Guitar" Watson) and my grandma made sure I had big doses of gospel. I just love music. :)


I have in my cd player:

Best of Phyllis Hyman (such a beautiful voice)
John Coltrane's Love Supreme
Maroon 5 (I have a "secret" crush on Adam Levine o: )
Toni Tony Tone's House of Blues
Miles Davis' Love Songs
Tye Tribbett & GA's Life

[sidebar] Urbanizd--I've really been thinking about getting Kirk's new cd Hero. I didn't care too much for Rebirth or Nu Nation Project (loved him w/ "the Family" and "GP"). Out of four stars, how many would you give Hero? [/end sidebar]

One of my closest friends went to school with Phonte. Phonte guests on Foreign Exchange with Nicolay, and my friend played it the ENTIRE time I was in ATL this weekend. Its a hip hop/jazz combo thing that works well. I like it. :)

I knew you and I have some type of musical connection, friend. :)

I listen to everything except for Classical.

Here are some of my Fav Artists:

Metallica :cool:
Public Enemy(sp)
Anthrax
Linkin Park
Fall Out Boy
Gretchen Wilson
Jay-Z
Sevendust
Little Brother
Wu-Tang Clan
LL Cool J
Avenged Sevenfold
Mary J. Blige
Megadeth
Creed
Isley Brothers
Living Colour
Cowboy Troy
Boys II Men
Frankie Beverly & Maze
Luther Vandross
Madonna

There are more, but this is my cream of the crop list. :D

You must learn to love classical, it's good for the soul, lol. I actually learned to appreciate it because I had to study it. Once I did that and kind of understood what I was listening to, it was okay to me.

Yes we have music in common song game rival :)

Sorry I JUST noticed this! Anyhow, it's most DEFINITELY 4 out of 4 stars. Then again, I'm a Kirk Franklin fan. You should visit Amazon and check out the CD snippets but I personally believe this is one of his best albums.

just starting to get into jazz and blues.

anyone into african music? starting to get into koru and wossolou. to me it sounds like a cross between hip-hop, indian and soca. which makes sense since music genres come from each other more or less.

as far as hip-hop & r&b are concerned, im pretty much stuck to 1992--1998. so if anyone wants to make me a 90s mix, im with it.

* ending post as babyface's "when can i see you again" comes on *
(and just realized that this is the last song me and my ex listened to together :( )

Gospel & Classical
