What are your favorite genre(s) of music?

This is a difficult question to answer so I’ll grab some “artistic license” and will change it to “What are your favorite genre(s) of music”. This is a more answerable question, one that will allow some digression on my part. Of course what I listen to depends on my mood. It varies greatly. Sometimes I wanna rock out with rock ‘n’ roll, other times I wanna chill with Jazz, and other times I want the gentle finesse of classical.

I have a myriad of genres of music that I love as well as sub-genres of music as well. Many or most of you will recognize most of these but some may not, so enjoy. 😊

I love Rock ‘N’ Roll, Joan Jet was onto something there but just to say I love it is far far, too vague. So, please let me elaborate, a lot on that genre and many others.

Alternative Music

I’ve always been somewhat not into mainstream music as I myself am fairly unique myself.

I love Alternative Rock ‘N’ Roll but there are many genres and there are subs here too. Genres of Alternative Music I love include: 80s New Wave, 80s Techno Pop, 80s Electronic Music, Classic Punk Rock, Hard Core Punk Rock, Modern Punk Rock, Protopunk Rock, Thrasher Punk, industrial, mid, Grunge Rock, Indi (Grunge Light), 90s alternative, Goth Rock, Alternative Country, Retro, and some Emo.

Crossover Rock Genres

There are some music genres I love that crossover across many others including: Power Pop, and BritPop. Bands like Oasis, XTC, Coldplay, Blur, Gorrilaz, and Radiohead exemplify both of these styles and others.

Bands like The Beatles, Queen, The Electric Light Orchestra, Yes, Jellyfish, and Sloan exemplify the big guitars, big drums, and big vocal harmonies of Power Pop and other genres as well.

Classic Rock Genres

I have and forever will love Classic Rock and its sub genres including: Folk, British Invasion, Psychedelic, Fusion, Experimental, Rhythm and Blues, Blues, Yacht Rock, Garage, Jam bands, Progressive (Prog), and Hard Rock.

Heavy Metal

I like many forms of metal genres including: Speed Metal, Death Metal, Hair Band, Progressive Metal, Doom Metal, and Stoner Metal.

Jazz

As a former musician and music aficionado I love: classic jazz, jazz fusion, and modern jazz.

Classical

Again as a musician I love many forms of classical including: chorales, sonatas, baroque, romantic, opera, suite, arias, orchestral, chorale, movie/musical soundtracks, and toccatas.

Pop

Though I am not a big fan of current pop I do love 70s and 80s pop as well.

My music tastes are out there but I do love a lot of music and many genres that are not as well known. I create intricate playlists assuring my work, travel, and play have the best soundtrack around.

As always thank you for reading, and keep listening to amazing music…
