Metal and rock I like most but I like all kinds like hip hop/rap. rnb ,pop ,dance,hardcore,country and just lots of different styles of music.

ArishMell · 70-79, M
[i]Many:[/i]

Baroque, Classical, Romantic, Modern, some Contemporary (though not a lot of the [i]avant-garde[/i]); with my favourites works and composers being in the Romantic and Modern;

Some Jazz - many styles of that,

Folk - many styles, including folk dancing as well as the singing and playing.

Some opera,

Blues and Rythmn & Blues (Real R & B, the rockier version of the Blues on real instruments, not what I call "Supermarket Arr-an-Bee" of bad singers and synthetic backing.)

1960s - 70s Pop and Progressive Rock ('twas my generation after all!). A lot of the more melodic heavy rock. Some soul music from that time, and its derivative like the "Motown Sound".

Those are styles of composition and arrangement, but crossing those, I like organ music, harp music, the Pipes (many types, not just the Highland Pipes from Scotland). Brass bands (though not the contrived racket once favoured by Hollywood family-film makers!).

.
In the last couple of months I have enjoyed two very different shows, in my local theatre:
- Puccini's Madame Butterfly, performed by the Ukrainian National Opera on a UK tour,
- The Searchers, the Mersey Sound band who have been performing for longer than the Rolling Stones ( and I think are better musicians than the Stones).
......

So with a list that long, what I [i]don't[/i] I like?

Drum-&-Bass and its ilk, Rap; most of the more recent pop singers and so-called "girl / boy bands" (singing troupes, but not bands). All secular music in all genres in all times has been written to earn its composers' and performers' wages, but a lot of pop now seems too formulaic to be any more than to sales-executives' templates that block originality, individuality and talent.

Anything sampled and cobbled together on a computer by someone who knows a "Quaver" only as a savoury snack brand.

Those Drum-&-Glockenspiel marching-bands. They may be good musicians, but putting high-pitched, short-note glockenspiels against a deeply-toned bass drum, produces an aural battle as grotesque as the players' pseudo-military uniforms.

The American Big Band / Swing Band sound and its contemporary singing styles: a semi-formal, jazz and blues derivative genre. One of the drivers for Rock-&-Roll developing (before my time!) was that although the instrumentalists were skilled musicians, the genre had become stale: badly-arranged, unoriginal and formulaic.

A lot of the most way-out [i]avant-garde,[/i] much of which seems to lack point, structure or direction. I have heard such works introduced by their composers describing the high-falutin' idea or concept behind the music, but the link escapes me!

@ArishMell that’s a mighty list
ArishMell · 70-79, M
@SW-User Oh yes!
ArtieKat · M
Welcome to the madhouse! 😁

I have what's generally called very eclectic tastes in music. The first concert I ever attended was Pink Floyd in 1968/69 when I was 15. The following year I was at both the Bath Festival (Pink Floyd's world premiere of Atom Heart Mother, Led Zeppelin headlining on the Sunday) and The Isle of Wight - Jimi Hendrix's last gig. But I'm a sucker for good pop too!

@helenS No, it was very soon after he was kicked out (following the release of Saucerful, the second album) and his old friend Dave Gilmour was brought in to replace him

@ArtieKat I'm a big early Floyd fan, I even traveled to Berlin, to watch "Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets"! Excellent show.
