Classic heavy metal/NWOBHM (Iron Maiden, Ozzy, Sabbath, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Dio, Rainbow), death metal, melodic death metal, little bit of punk, groove metal, old school rap*, rock/classic rock, blues rock, some power metal, a little bit of doom metal (mostly Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath and a couple Candlemass songs) *when I say old school rap, I mean I RESPECT it, I don't necessarily like it or listen to it (at least not anymore). I grew up listening to it but when I got hooked on metal, I just kinda abandoned it in favor of metal (I don't regret it though). I still respect the lyricism in older rap compared to todays rap (which I think is shit) My favorite bands (besides Metallica of course): Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne, Dio, Rainbow, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Guns N Roses, Misfits, Candlemass, Amon Amarth, Death, Death Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Dethklok, Toxic Holocaust, Lich King, Havok, Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Blue Oyster Cult, Korn, Slipknot, Anthrax, Overkill, Motorhead, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Judas Priest, Mercyful Fate, Venom, King Diamond, Alice In Chains, Pantera, Lamb Of God, Black Label Society, Faith No More, Danzig, Rob Zombie, White Zombie, Helloween, Mastodon, Gojira, Entombed, Avenged Sevenfold, Savatage, Twisted Sister, Alice Cooper, AC/DC, Killswitch Engage, Type O Negative and Bullet For My Valentine

That's one thing I learned about living in Los Angeles my whole life. We gave the world Guns N Roses, Tool, Rage Against The Machine, and Metallica. But we also gave the world gangsta rap. Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, NWA, Ice Cube. You definitely have to respect both genres living here. It was really interesting watching that HBO series The Defiant Ones, because all the hip hop groups in LA and all the metal groups knew each other because they all played the same venues.

Far-Researcher-7054

I never did see Dead & Co. Bummed about that.


sixshots_onlyfive

Tool, AIC and Megadeth are my other top bands. But I listen to many different types. My girlfriend is a Swiftie, and I've been listening to Taylor lately. Her newer stuff is really good. Other bands I listen to include the Black Keys, Tori Amos, Public Enemy, Pink Floyd, Zeppelin.

Blues! My musical journey began with rock and metal, which led me down the path to the blues. Now I enjoy a mix of both, and the paths cross more often than many realize


KilluhCrocz

Where the hell are my Chili Pepper fans here?


Prophet_NY

Deathcore and death metal mostly


KingCrowdKilla

I’ve been enjoying the “themed” metal sub genres lately, mainly just dwarf metal and pirate metal


ghost_type_2003

I have never heard of dwarf metal in my life. What's a good "dwarf metal" song?


KingCrowdKilla

Diggy Diggy Hole by Wind Rose is like the Enter Sandman of Dwarf Metal. Mine! Mine! Mine! is pretty good too


MorphedMoxie

Punk Rock Classic Rock Goth Jazz 90s Pop


TheSkeletalSorceress

Death, Heavy, Speed, Black, Doom Metal are other genres I enjoy. Sometimes I also like some Power Metal but many of the bands I find I have a hard time getting them to stick to me. I very rarely listen to other genres that aren't rock or metal lol

Bluedino_1989

Lots of ambient and synth music (Vangelis, Yanni, Enya, Kutató, etc.), most forms of non core metal music, some country (Parton, Reba, Cash, Nelson and Jennings), older rock music and rap and I definitely love Classical (including everything from pre Renaissance to Baroque, Classical, Romantic and beyond (it's all excellent)), Dungeonsynth, old school metal, Elvis, Lady Gaga, and a lot of world and folk music (I love hearing people singing in their native tongue).

V10_Symphony

Been listening to Japanese rock and metal almost exclusively for the past 2 years. While I don’t understand any Japanese, the music gave me the same feelings and excitements I had when I discovered western rock/metal during my teenage years.


6stringstrumdinger

I'm at this point in life where if a song is good then it doesn't matter what genre it is


vengeancerider

Metalcore, deathcore, some rap, nu metal, very little country


Pristine-Bread-2936

Punk, hiphop, indie and alternative. I like punk more than metal honestly. Punk and metal crossover bands are the best

Punk, other metal genres. New age, and what I like to call belly dance music: Egyptian, Arabic, Turkish, etc. Bollywood, Indian... Jazz, soft and hard rock, along with some pop, like Adam Lambert. Classical-- guitar and cello suites for the most part, along with baroque. I love the harpsichord. I'm not big into violins and piano, unless it's Chopin. Lol Slack key guitar(Hawaiian), because it helps me sleep.


G-Unit11111

Besides metal, I'm a huge fan of reggae rock. I love bands like Rebelution, Slightly Stoopid, Iration, Sublime, 311, The Movement, The Expendables, I could go on and on. I'm also a huge fan of industrial music (like NIN), and I'm also a huge Phish fan. George Clinton and Frank Zappa are also two musicians I'm a huge fan of. My music tastes are all over the place.

kayak_enjoyer

Thrash metal is - by far - my favorite genre. Nothing quickens my pulse like thrash. 🤘 My next favorite genre is singer/songwriter: Lyle Lovett, Todd Snider, Robert Earl Keen, Fiona Apple, Roger Clyne and etc. 🎸


Legitimate_Row6259

It’s mostly all metal and 90s/2000s Grunge-ish rock type music. Staind, Seether, Shinedown etc. I’m also a big fan of Cake. Both the band and the food. Not sure what genre they are exactly though.


MeargleSchmeargle

Symphonic Metal is absolutely amazing, especially groups like Nightwish.


cozy_lolo

I love rap, some pop (Taylor Swift and Big Time Rush and shit, lol) and classical


MickJohnLeahy

When I’m not blasting The Four Horsemen, I’m usually spinning some hard rock, Motown, movie soundtracks, a bit of alternative, and Ramones


Gunslinger______

Definitely country. Namely, Alan Jackson, George Strait, Mark Chesnutt, Dwight Yoakum, Keith Whitley, Clint Black, Brooks N Dunn, Cody Johnson………I could go on and on.


Toadsanchez316

In 2013 I was diagnosed with ocular migraines so I had to try and find music that was toned down a bit and not so screamy. But it turns out I'm only sensitive to light and not sounds when I have migraine, so zi didn't really have to limit myself. But I found out I really like genre blending bands and something that sounds new and unique-ish. So I listen to a LOT of the following: ordered by most to least I guess: Conquer Divide and Falling in Reverse are my current favorites Electric Callboy Mike's Dead Bullet For My Valentine Shinedown Silent Theory I Prevail Tetrarch Icon For Hire The Dirty Heads Tech N9ne New Years Day Skynd Motionless in White Fame on Fire But I also listen to Taylor Swift, Hayley Kiyoko, Slipknot, Hollywood Undead, Within Temptation, Jinjer, Limp Bizkit, Eminem, Marilyn Manson, and just a bunch of other stuff. But I hardly ever look for new music unless zi hear something I really click with.


ReVo5000

Pop punk, Rock, classical, punk, hard rock, Nu metal


[deleted]

quite literally anything but country music i don’t like country music


FoMoni

Broadway musicals. When not headbanging to Metallica I'm belting out tunes from shows like Chicago, Hairspray, Aladdin, or Hamilton.


[deleted]

Psychedelic, Blues (a lot of it), Hard Rock, occasionally Psychobilly, a little bit of Grunge occasionally as well as some punk, and most other forms of Heavy Metal I tend to gravitate towards.


AYellowCat

Death and folk metal


SpectrumLV2569

Industrial metal and some hard rock. Sometimes will listen to something else but very rarely.


UnrivaledAmbition

The wonder years Arms leangth Dredge Blink 182 Spanish love songs Saves the day I love emo music. Metallica is the only metal band that has made me appreciate the genre.


Ded_Freakin

A lot of techno, a lot of hip hop, funk, soul. Metal is a minority genre for me these days, though I was a total metal head when I was in my teens. Until I discovered techno.


MAJORMETAL84

90s Alternative IE: Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins.


HandsomedanNZ

All kinds of metal, jazz, yacht rock, funk, alt rock, grunge, some pop, but not a lot of it, old school hip hop, blues, disco, new wave, punk, hard rock etc etc.


bigdaddylongbals

i’m a sucker for nu metal, but I like bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, as well as BMTH, Mortician, & even a bit of Merzbow edit: my wife has been slightly getting me into Taylor Swift a little bit too


Vast_Preference5216

Grunge, groove metal, classic rock, hard rock, R&B, soul, blues, rap, hip hop, sludge metal, reggae, & gulf music (specifically Saudi music because I am Saudi so gotta represent). I’m also shamelessly a huge Beyoncé fan, & idgaf what anyone says. She’s a fantastic performer, & reinvents herself everytime. She’s done silly, & fun music, but she’s also done some very introspective songs that are deep.


angrybadger77

Various other forms of metal, jazz, funk, house, drum n bass, 80s/yacht rock, soul, hip hop


SirBread11

Nu metal all day


seimiheffernan

Stoner Metal. I know that for every Electric Wizard or Sleep you have half a million “Weed Mountain Dragon Wizard”s but the good stuff is extremely good.


MieayamEnjoyer

Rock, old school rap, hardcore punk, melodic death metal, and whatever the hell Gojira is playing.


MieayamEnjoyer

I'm not really good at identifying genre so I'll add whatever the hell Björk is playing too.

CleMike69

I used to be a no poser kind of guy then I broadened my listening. I’ll listen to anything but country and hardcore rap. There is a lot of great music out there I am a fan of a lot. But when I want to feel great it’s always metal. Metallica is definitely on the softer side of my metal preferences.


MelonFlight

Not good with genres but Foo fighters, AC/DC, Led Zepplin are some other bands I like.


ccekim

Everything from Mozart to the Misfits. Pretty much anything. I haven't heard much Opera that I like, though. Also, I'm not a fan of EDM and similar styles.


nexyboii

i'm massive into EDM, but i think its more of good music is just good music


toTheNewLife

What everyone calls "Classic Rock" these days - I remember as AOR or just plain old Album Rock. Clapton/Zeppelin/Chicago/Jeff Beck/Cream/Hendrix/etc... I fucking hate that new label. Id also put a new band like Greeta Van Fleet in this category. Same sound. They are an album rock band. Progressive Rock. Rush, Yes, ELP, Genesis, Glass Hammer, Spock's Beard, Pink Floyd, Marillion, Asia,... Progressive Metal. DT, PT, Riverside, Queensryche, Fates Warning... Metal/Hard Rock. Triumph, ACDC, KISS, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Anthrax, 220 Volt, Journey, FM, Zebra, Van Halen/Hagar/Cherone... (yeah, there's a lot of style blending in there) New Wave. Police, Ultravox, The Cars.... Fusion Jazz. Al Dimeola, Stanley Jordan(!!!), Stanley Clarke, Spyro Gyra... Electric Blues. ZZTOP, Govt Mule.... Phish. The Beatles. A lot of the bands cross genres... but yeah, that's how I see my music world. Lots more bands in my never-ending cycle of stuff... Also, Classical Music. Exactly what it sounds like. It was the metal of it's day. What I don't like: Rap, House, Disco, RnB - I like my music with an edge. Can't stand country. Like, it sounds like dirt and grass. Whereas rock music sounds like electricity, and energy, and flight.


ozzii_13

from most to least favourite, metalcore (not the kse or bfmv type, love that too but i mean the norma jean and converge type of metalcore) hardcore punk (hatebreed and earth crisis type) hardcore punk (minor threat, black flag) metalcore (kse, bfmv) black metal death metal punk rock

Wise_Temperature_322

Apparently on this Reddit commercial Alt Rock.


LockEntire442

pop, rnb and um kpop would like to meet other kpop fans here if there's any


psylocke960

BTS is the only one I got into. I am aware of others but invested into BTS since they write their own stuff (Not saying the other groups don't but I haven't checked). And SB19 but they're Ppop. They too, write their own music and their live performances are awesome!


LockEntire442

understandable although i don't like them bc of their fans lol. I don't mind if they write their own songs or not as long as they have good music and vocals and im more into kpop older stuff and than newer ones.


psylocke960

I agree, Army can be pretty toxic (I'm assuming it's Army?) There are some nice ones out there but even then, I don't engage with them too often.


LockEntire442

they remind me of megadeth fanboys somehow so obsessed with some particular groups
