[mstp1992]

Favorite?

Hard to pin it down, depends on the mood and what I'm doing. I have quite eclectic tastes in music. But, I'll go with:

1. 'Classic Rock' (e.g., Led Zeppelin, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Kinks)
2. 'Alternative metal' (e.g., Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, System of a Down)
3a. 'Punk' (old school, pop, hardcore, most anything goes: e.g., The Ramones, Dead Kennedys, The Offspring)
3b. 'Crooners' (e.g., Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Rosemary Clooney, especially anything from the Johnny Mercer catalog of songs)



If the above examples do not fit into the assigned categories, I'd be interested in knowing how they should be classified.

Generically they would be called jam bands or mountain jam/bluegrass. Yonder, String Cheese, Railroad Earth, Trampled, Greensky, JBT, etc.

 

[SSG T]

Punk - Generally stuff from the 70's and 80s
Jazz - Small group, bebop, cool jazz, fusion and the like. Davis, Coltrane, Monk, Gillespie, Parker and the like

[Rustys Dad]

My teen years were in the 80s ... so I'm a huge fan of the Motley Crues, AC/DC, etc.

 

[VicHawkeye]

1. Western Swing
2. Rock-n-roll
3. Hot Jazz/ dixieland jazz/ swing jazz

All of the roots American music genres are great- ragtime/stride, country blues, hillbilly, boogie woogie and the rest. My taste tends to go against the grain. I like the early rural blues better than electric blues, hot jazz better than bebop and 50s- early 60s rock-n-roll better than later rock music.

Oldies(50s and 60s)
