Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise

John Frusciante - Everyperson

Enur Feat Natasja - Calabria

La Noyee - Yann Tiersen

Deep Forest - Sweet Lullaby

Rammstein - Rosenrot

Arcade Fire - "My Body is a Cage"

I clicked them all.

Good music vs. Bad music. That is all.

 

[Synapse]

Electronic music mostly. Anything is fine to listen to once for the experience.

I need that too.

I also need several other metal options.

There are more forms of metal than nearly (actually, probably, absolutely) anything else.

'Cause they're deliberately different from one another. It's a popular thing in metal.

A few, but Tango nuevo, mainly.

I ticked most of those. I guess not new wave, metal, hip-hop, soft-rock, salsa.. they're just not my thing. But whatever, as long as the music's being heard.

World music generally.

My votes:
Soft Rock/Pop
Rock
Classic Metal
Death Metal/Acid Metal
Indie/Goth/Emo

My preference is definitely for metal and rock. I'm more interested in metal from the 90s-2010s, but I do like some 80s groups. I'm not an elitist and I dig plenty of "fake" metal, particularly alternative metal, metalcore/deathcore, and nu metal. However, I do know my way around "acclaimed" metal as well. I am quite fond of death metal, particularly melodic death metal, although I do enjoy some technical death metal. I don't feel like listing bands because there's a lot and I'd rather just post them in the metal thread or something.

I probably shouldn't have voted Indie/Goth/Emo, but gothic metal and doom metal are subgenres I really like as well. Some Emo is interesting too (along the lines of Pg. 99 or City of Caterpillar) but it's not a genre I regularly seek.

I like pop and regular rock, but the thing is, I'm very picky about it. I'm a sucker for K-Pop and can spend hours of days listening to it, but I'll never turn on Top 40 radio (unless it's 80s pop, a huge "guilty pleasure" if I actually felt any guilt). For rock, the key thing for me is nostalgia. I love 2000s alternative bands like My Chemical Romance.

I thought about voting for New Wave, but I didn't think I enjoyed it enough to warrant a vote, and my knowledge of the genre is pretty basic, limited to the most popular groups like Talking Heads, Duran Duran, The Cure, Depeche Mode. I do enjoy it from time to time, though.

Needs a synthwave option as well. I’m not clicking them because I’d end up clicking all of them.
