No one has mentioned noise, experimental, or electro-acoustic stuff yet.

Yeah, I did.

Indian classical (raga) , algorithmic cyberjazz, old refridgerators at 3 am., magpies.

Sum of Awe :
Electric would count under techno

No way.

First, I assume you meant electronic, not 'electric'. I have been listening to and composing electronica ( I guess it must be filed under 'experimental') since the 1970s.
A lot of 'Techno' is repetitious, predictable, cliched, bubble-gum version of electronica IMO. You can purchase software now which will make it easy for you to produce it by the terrabyte even with no musical background.

I heard a jazz musician say " Nowadays, any idiot can produce what sounds like broadcast quality music - thing is, I don't think music is a task for just any idiot"

Wow, I'm not the only metalhead here. I thought we were a dying breed.

Isao Tomita? His Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an Exhibition never fails to make my hairs stand on end. Thinking of it now I'm getting goosebumps.

Kazdin & Shepherd: Everything You Always Wanted to Hear on the Moog But Were Afraid to Ask For. No one can die with a fulfilled life unless they've heard Bolero on the Mighty Moog.

Like Tangerine Dream?

Yeah Tangerine Dream were on my list. Particularly 'Phaedra'.

Isao Tomita? His Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an Exhibition never fails to make my hairs stand on end. Thinking of it now I'm getting goosebumps.

Tomita was great if I was in the mood for more 'romantic' electronica. Jarre's 'Zoolook' was also one of my faves from that particular time.

There was quite a lot of very obscure stuff too ... like Cluster, and Tonto's Expanding Head Band, and Ashra Temple - and lots of stuff on independent labels and from university music labs ...

If you like Tomita, I think you would also like the electronic neo-classical album 'Theme of Secrets' by Eddie Jobson ( more well known for his stint in Roxy Music).

Yellow Magic Orchestra were fun too ... Japanese electro-kitsch

Eno's early ambient stuff was perfect for 'up all night' full moons. His albums with Cluster were superb - 'Cluster and Eno', and particularly 'After the Heat' .

Oh, and classical.

 

[apophenia]

Me like.

Hmm. I see. And how long have you exhibited these symptoms ?
But yeah ... the musical world is vast and there are always dedicated mutants at work. And there are people who want to hear stuff which is outside the box in terms of 'genre', yet still with strong aesthetic qualities and novel sensations. Hopefully a sense of authentic emotion, or coherent expression of an idea, or sheer sonic inventiveness. Personally, I really like being surprised by music. I consider that 'genre' necessarily implies 'no longer surprising'. Still possibly enjoyable though. Some surprises keep working for much longer than others.

To the rap listeners - Opinion on Tech Nine? I like his music, I'm obsessed with "The Beast" right now.

To metal listeners (specifically Black) - What is your opinion on Mudvayne?

To Nu Metal listeners - What are your favorite bands in the Nu Metal category?

 

[Father Heathen]

[goodhunter819]

I would like to say seen as I am signed even though I hardly listen to music these days form time to me I still listen to Sepultura, I am mentioning this because I know early Sepultura has the concern for the Kiowas Indians of the Americas , I don't do the southern metal thing at all and I am not about Panetra at all and even though I still from time to time listen to Seplutura every now and then especially Roots, I do not listen at all or have any views at all for Panetra, in fact when thinning about all music I think it is somewhat childish that someone should try to judge the adult mentality of the premise of listening to music, just a little Childish, I would like to think that my siblings would listen to music like Sepultura who address the world stage singing about injustice of a people, the rights of a people, the struggle of a people and history not ruling out Tribal music which is totally different rather than the excitable songs that girls get off on, or that music which perpetuates drugs and crime, being an adult I would not want any teenage annoyance dribbling on about some consumer product taken from an advert that has absolutely nothing to to with the issue in question but yes from time to time I listen to the old stuff not talking about the devil or evil, back in my day everyone who had a radical point of view and wore boot cut jeans combats cutoffs and waits coats, when Panetra came out some many years after in the mid 80s they wore spandex, trainers and tasseled jackets as was the style for them back then but me for the southern Panetra Cow boy thing thank but no thank, no offense

 

[Sundance]

I can develop a taste for any genre or style of music, though some of my favorite styles are Reggae (or any related style like Ska, Rocksteady, and Dub), Brit-pop, World Fusion, Soft Rock, Trip Hop, Experimental Rock, Indie/Alternative Rock, Rap Metal, Funk Metal, Prog Rock, Raga/Psychedelic Rock, Doo-Wop, Nu Jazz, Alternative Hip Hop, Ethereal Wave, Post-Punk, and Hardcore Punk (especially Straight Edge).

 

[StarryNightshade]

I like some country (I was practically raised on it), but I primarily listen to various forms of rock (Indie, Alternative, Electro, Hard, etc.) and some metal. I've also been listening to more industrial and rap lately.

 

[Rival]

80s pop; Nightcore; Prog Rock/Metal (Dream Theater, for ex.); Vangelis (whatever his music is classed as) and Italio-Dance (Gigi D'ag), also I sometimes enjoy older dance music.

 

[Deidre]

I play piano, so Classical and Baroque periods. But, don’t care to ‘listen’ to them, prefer playing.

To listen, I like trance/dance, jazz, some hip hop, and blues.

 

[Jumi]

New Retro Wave, Folk Metal, Classical to name the top three. Checked all boxes except Nu Metal. Never got into that one.
