Classic music and hard rock mainly, although I have a few songs I enjoy time to time from every genre.
You two, try this, obscure 80's prog metal band band, no growlingMetal and Rock. I don't really have a favorite type of metal or rock though I like all the sub genres. As far as other music goes, I don't really care for much else. But I absolutely can not tolerate Country.
Absolutely yes. That video is what got me into Flying Lotus. An incredible album overall. Have you had a chance to listen to his new album? I've heard good things but haven't grabbed a copy yet myself.Music buff here. Everything basically.
Hip-hop (technically lol)
Obligatory animal collective
Ha this is tight another music head. FlyLo is probably my favorite artist. Went to his light show about 3 times front row and center everytime lol its absolutely mind blowing! Big animal collective guy myself altho I haven't visited them in a while. New album is amazing in a very different way absolutely maybe 1 or 2 traditional hip hop/flylo style beats on there and the rest is pretty much free jazz. 420 is require to digest/appreciate this album completely. I was put off amazed and frustrated upon first listen lol. A lot of those crazy prog artist your mentioning I've herd about in passing so I'm going to look some of them up. Battles are ****ing crazy. I don't think I get it lol. Fleet foxes are sick and I've herd stuff but never sat down with either album both of which everyone jizzes over so I need to check em out. Also 8-9 years of bass that's tight. Are you a session musicians of any sort? band stuff? teacher? must be fun to just pick up a bass and go at it while you kick back.Absolutely yes.

Animal Collective are ****ing stupendous as well. I got to see them twice as they toured their newest album, one show being at the actual Merriweather Post for which their prior album was named. Really intense show, that was.
I listen to most any kind of music, the genre really doesn't impact my impression so much as the individual artist's style and expression. I particularly enjoy music that's progressive or experimental in nature. Classic prog stuff like early Yes and Rush are incredible, if you can deal with the admittedly sometimes crooning vocals. Newer prog rock artists like Porcupine Tree and Oceansize (rip) have a lot to say as well. Old Muse incorporated twinges of progressive atmospheres as well, especially their album Origin Of Symmetry, one of my all-time favorites. I also am huge on Radiohead, i think they've done more for the current state of the music business and contemporary "rock" than almost any of big name band, and i find their musical and lyrical content mind-blowing.
Other genres I tend to gravitate towards include Math and Post rock (Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, Battles, Town Portal, Giraffes? Giraffes! to name a few), some select metal bands (I find aggressive vocals hit or miss, but i enjoy Dream Theater, Dillinger Escape Plan, Enter Shikari, Periphery, Animals as Leaders, etc), some folksy stuff (Check out Fleet Foxes' self titled, truly amazing), and some electronic stuff (FlyLo of course, Blockhead, I Am Not A Gun, Apparat). I also play/write music myself, been playing electric bass for about 8 or 9 years now.
Lol, I wish I were a session musician or something. No, I'm just a bedroom warrior, but I have a drummer friend with whom i get together and jam/write. We have a handful of material that we want to get tracked but it's been really hard to find the time/money to make it all happen in a way that we're going to be happy with. If you'd like to listen to what we kinda sound like, here's an unfinished track we recorded a few years ago that never quite made it through mixing and mastering. It's a doomy, psychadelic instrumental passage. I wrote it, and my drummer and I played our respective instruments and shared guitar duty. Any sound that isn't the guitar is being made with my basses and effects pedals.Ha this is tight another music head. FlyLo is probably my favorite artist.

is your absolute favorite... rock?It's easiest to sum up my tastes of non-classical music as being mostly from the 60s/70s. I love the many styles from that era because sound and instrumentation are the biggest appeal in music for me, and the 60s/70s had a great sound, wide variety of instruments, and a nice balance between electronic and acoustic instruments.
To be a little more specific, my favorite styles would probably be what many call 'Brass Rock' (a style of rock that oftentimes fused jazz elements in with rock, but staying mostly on the pop/rock side. Noticeable for the inclusion of a prominent brass and saxophone section), Soft Rock, Soul/R&B (Motown AND beyond), progressive and psychedelic rock, and plain hard rock. I'm just a big fan of Oldies all around.
Another genre which I can not forget to mention is Folk. Most of the Folk I like is also from the 60s/70s, but the genre is a bit more universal than that. I mostly listen to British Folk, because I just love the style. The inclusion of light early music influences and even instrumentation really gets me as a music history and musical instrument nerd.
Classical, I'm all over the place. Probably my top favorites are Baroque, Impressionist, Classical (as in Mozart's era), and Early Music. Yeah, that's almost all of the major eras. lol I fell in love with one, then would fall in love with another and now here we are. Baroque was my first love, though and I still can't shake how awesome the era is.
The genres that I hate, hate, hate are Country, just about anything from the 80s, and modern pop. Not big on Metal either... But the first three I mentioned are genres that are constantly shoved in my face and thus they are the most annoying.
Oh my, a MLP avatar for one day and this already happened. xDis your absolute favorite... rock?
