Mostly Irish folk (with a healthy infusion of Irish rebel music mixed in)

[–] datendefekt@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Ambient, electronica, Post punk, emo and goth stuff, synthwave, sludge / stoner metal, industrial, and folk music.

My favorites over the years were

  • Chemical Brothers
  • Underworld
  • The Presets
  • Aphex Twin
  • Brian Eno
  • Boards of Canada
  • Ministry
  • Nine Inch Nails (but boy did he jump the shark hard)
  • Skinny Puppy / oHGr / Download / Phil Western
  • Einstürzende Neubauten
  • The Cure
  • Killing Joke
  • Neil Young

I don't know why, but I also gravitate to girl guitar bands. Especially if they sing in harmony. Instant goosebumps!

Most flavours of metal, hard rock, punk, some blues stuff like SRV and Gary Moore. Basically, if it has loud guitars in it, I'm there.

Everything except jazz (because I can't find the rhythm, which is the point I guess).

[–] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on the jazz - plenty rhythm in some jazz, check out Lee Morgan's Sidewinder for instance :-)

Lots of classic rock. Billy Joel, led zeppelin, etc.

But lately I've been on a classical music kick.

[–] snowyday@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If you don’t already know, Billy Joel has a deep love for classical music, and in interviews talks about how it influenced his pop/rock songs

I'm pretty big on americana lately. Lots of good bands to discover. I'm also getting back into ska.

I mostly listen to varieties of British music (shoutout !britishmusic@lemmy.world)

I love R&B. I've been exploring British country music lately (surprisingly is a lot of it).

Massive fan of grime music (!grime@lemmy.world) (similarish to hip hop but with electronic beats) and its predecessor, UK garage (summery dance music vibes). UK rap in general is a big thing for me. I listen to drill music on occasion but not super often (modern gangster rap basically, although there's a lot of commercial drill nowadays). Been really into jersey club music lately - I think the beats are really cool.

I have some fondness for dancehall (!dancehall@lemmy.world) and afrobeats music as well.

Other than that, I enjoy (but don't listen to actively) baile funk, some varieties of house music, deep/original dubstep music (not the screechy dubstep most people think of), reggae, lofi-hiphop, the underground NY hip hop scene

Heavy Metal. Most things with screaming/growling that has actual lyrics are gold to me. Ice Nine Kills manages to blend that with my love of the horror genre, and discovering them felt like finding a new home.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

i listen to everything, but my favorite artists are That Handsome Devil, Frank Zappa, Death Grips, blink-182, Björk, Tom Waits, Prince

my favorite album right now is Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout

The band Sleep Token has been a majority of my played music for over a month now, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. I mostly listen to stuff like Metalcore, Deathcore, Djent, Nu Metal, Prog, Instrumental, I love metal covers of pop songs. Also like hard dance, dubstep, DnB, some pop, some rap, most anything as long as it isn't tasteless.

[–] JoeClu@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sleep Token. Discovered it recently too. Man that guy can SING! Love it. Chokehold is great.
