I love Rock, Heavy Metal, stuff like that. Occasionally what I guess is called Alternative.
Bands I listen to are: Van Halen, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin. Sometimes Pink Floyd and Nirvana or AC/DC. Afroman and Lonely Island are always entertaining to listen to also :D
I listen primarily a combination of pop/hard rock and punk (pop, melodic, and hardcore varieties), but I can't stand metal or country. To be fair, I do have a few Iron Maiden tracks that I really like.
Some favourites currently are Three Days Grace, Rise Against, Shinedown, Nirvana, My Chemical Romance, and Halestorm.
My all time favorite genre of music is heartland rock. I could listen to John Mellencamp, Tom Petty, Bob Seger, and Bruce Springsteen forever.
While heartland is my favorite type of rock, I absolutely love all varieties of rock, except I do not like anything alternative, punk, or metal (all those in the modern 90's + sense). I basically like anything from the 50's to the 80's when it comes to rock. Just rattling off a few of my other favorite artists:
I don't even know where to start. Let's say I'd basically listen to anything, the only genre that currently escapes me is instrumental jazz. Other than that everything goes (classical, pop rock, folk, traditional, electro, industrial, metal, hip-hop, rock.)
At the moment I'm more into classical (anything from medieval monodic music to 19th century composers) and "Americana" (anything that goes from the 60s folk scene-Baez, Odetta, Ochs, Peter Paul and Mary, Buffy Sainte-Marie- to classic country -Carter Family, Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and newer stuff such as Rosanne Cash, Rhiannon Giddens and the Carolina Chocolate Drops, First Aid Kit; and other folkish stuff such as Simon and Garfunkel, Tracy Chapman, Suzanne Vega, early Joni Mitchell... Anything with a nice guitar in the background really... which also means artists who are 1)dead, 2)retired, 3)never tour in France anyway. Sadness.
I listen to a wide variety of Heavy metal, but mostly metal.
Bands like: Avenged Sevenfold, Dragonforce, Dream Theater <3, GALNERYUS, Hammerfall, L'Arc~en~Ciel, Mayhem, Metallica, Nightwish, The Police, Metallica, Rammstein, Slayer, Slipknot, System of a Down, Vader, X Japan, and Maximum the Hormone. Those are some of my faves. and the list goes on...
