what kind of Rock music are you into?
 

okay, I just thought I'd make a poll of some kind lol! (I never made a poll so I wanted to make one today just to see if I can do it right ^_^')

Now, the question is "What kind of rock music are you into?"

Now, just so you know, I have the options below in case you don't know what I'm talking about in the options area.

Modern rock (what we hear as of now in the mainstream [Seether, Mudvayne, Disturbed])

Classic Rock (Old rock before the 70's [CCR, Led Zeppelin, Cream])

Metal (Which includes Heavy metal, death metal, black metal etc. Usually involves screaming and loud and fast playing[Metallica, Switchpin, Slayer, Otep, Dinmu Borgir])

Grunge Rock (90's rock that sounds really "dirty"-ish [Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains])

Industrial Rock (Rock music with more techno in it [Nine Inch Nails, Skyndrid])

Punk Rock (Music that sounds really simple and the guys hardly sing [Sum 41, Blink 182])

Emo rock (Emotional rock where it kinda sounds lilke the singer is crying [AFI, Panic! At the Disco, Placebo])

Soft Rock (Just really slow rock [Nazareth, Whitesnake])

Nu Metal (Rock that involves a lot of rapping but hard playing [Linkin Park, Rage against the machine])

Glam Metal (Usually 80's metal that involves the band members wearing tight clothes and lots of makeup [Motley Crue, Poison]

Nu Metal and Soft Rock <3

I like most of it. I don't really like Emo. A few songs are ok but don't really like it. I'd say classic rock is my favorite. Can't go wrong with Queen and Led Zeppelin. May I ask since when did HIM become Emo? AFI for sure but not HIM.

You like Queen?! : D

emo rock and punk rock i guess. :yes

Classic, Soft, and Punk.

HIM is categorized as 'love metal', I thought?

Where's the prog option? On the list, I'll go with metal, but prefer prog-rock and prog-metal overall.

Not sure... I'm into the hitomi type of rock. lol

I like the punk rock:tipsy

oh well, I guess I kinda jsut wrote that down lol! sorry about that.

Classic.

Metal & Grunge rock..

some classic rock too, though I didn't select that choice

I prefer classic/soft rock. :)

indie rock, electro rock, whatever... none of my favourites are among the options..

punk/modern

I like bands from pretty much all the sub genre's of rock :S
There's a band from each of the those that I enjoy.
I just generally like rock, the entire thing.
I love Classic Rock lots though <3

lol i dunno which rock i like umm Ayu's the one who got me into rockish songs so i guess "Ayu's rock"...

I love Industrial -- Rammstein, Eisbrecher, Megaherz, OOMPH -- hehe I love my German industrial boys

I'm also a fan of modern rock, and nu-metal (but not as much anymore

but my major love is female fronted bands -- Nightwish, Leaves' Eyes, Within Temptation, Lacuna Coil, Theatre of Tragedy etc. I'm not sure what genre they would be but I prefer to think of them as "gothic metal/rock"

hehe and HIM is one of my secret favourites too ;)

yeah, i agree there. i picked as close as i could.

i don't think i like any of the bands listed. lol.

I'm more of a pop rock/soft rock person, even though I do listen to most of the other types of rock from time to time as well.

i dont really listen to rock. but if i were to listen to them, i prefer soft rock. :D

Soft rock. I like stuff like Powderfinger and the Red Hot Chill Peppers.

What about Ashlee Simpson?

heya
well i picked metal...though i dont listen that much to western music lately...(mostly CoB-BulletformyValentine-SlpKnT-69eyes'ish)
but i prefere japanese bands such as Anthem, Galneryus, Animetal, Onmyouza n Sex Machineguns

ced

i wouldn't consider her as rock music..

HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR is considered what kind of rock? LOL.


Modern, I guess.

I'm not picky. I listen to anything that interest me. Rock's probably my most listened-to genre, though; Pop comes next.
I'll actually listen to any genre.. but it can't be just only one kind. Some songs in a genre can be crap; one of the reasons I don't place myself in a category as my favorite genre. Music is music. I like it or I don't. That's the way I think of it.

Nu Metal by far.... And... I don't really know how to call it, but I like it when rock is mixed with pop... like..... Ayu's 'alterna' / 'is this LOVE?' / 'Because of you'.... And a few of the Kelly Clarkson pop/rock songs..

In rock, my favourite bands are:
Linkin' Park - nu rock
Ayu (her rock-side) - poprock?
Kamelot - I like to call it Fantasy Metal.. is kamelot a metal-band?
Red hot chili peppers - Soft rock?

Classic rock...metal...i guess...actually, now that i really read the first post post...I really like mostly all of the categories.

I hate all the new rock music...it's not rock anymore...i mean new like emo rock...things like Simple Plan and Good Charlotte...

Garage Rock and Brit-Pop. :luv2

Bands like The Bravery, Blur, Franz Ferdinand, Travis...etc. =)

I like classic rock and alternative.

However, I must say I like all types of rock, it just depends on the artist or group. For instance, I'm not so into metal, but X Japan and Avenged Sevenfold are exceptions that I love.

Actually, they're considered power metal, but yes, they are a metal band. Anyway, I listen to all forms of rock. I'm a huge metal head. I can listen to anything from Cannibal Corpse (death metal) to DragonForce (power metal) to Iron Maiden (heavy metal), Pig Destroyer (grindcore), etc., etc. I also love stuff like The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dillinger Escape Plan, Avenged Sevenfold, HORSE the band, and the list goes on. I have stuff like Kylie Minogue right around Cannibal Corpse in my CD collection. XD My tastes vary greatly. Anyway, speaking of metal, if anyone wants to hear any good Japanese metal, I have a couple of great bands on my computer (Galneryus, Concerto Moon, Swarrrm, Sex Machineguns, X Japan, Masterpiece, 324, Gallhammer), so I'll upload some stuff later.

I like modern and industrial rock. Emphasis on the industrial.

I'm more into artists than genres , because pretty much in every genre there's someone whose music I like & don't like. I also feel determining genre's is really subjective , I feel it's often a matter of opinion whether a band/artist is " nu post-melodic progressive rock" or "melonic post-progressive nu rock" or whatever :rolleyes

I never stray far from the mainstream , from metal for example I like mainstream metal stuff like HIM & Nightwish.

Blink 182 and Sum 41 are so not punk...

and the closest thing AFI have done to emo was that awful Sing the Sorrow album. They were never really emo and their new album.. I certainly wouldn't call it emo >.< Plus, AFI used to be hardcore punk... tho I'm sorta glad they changed now

Anyway, I listen to a bit of everything except for anything urban so consider me a fan of everything on that list lol

Um...yeah...back on the topic of Kamelot. When I posted earlier saying that Kamelot is considered a power metal band, I had never extensively listened to any of their albums, just like one or two songs. Well, I'm listening to their most recent album The Black Halo, and HOLY FREAKIN' CRAP, it's amazing. Khan's voice is so amazing. I can't believe I waited this long to hear it.

i like punk and soft rock~~!!

i like metal mostly metallica and some punk rock aswell

What is Dir en Grey, L'arc~en ciel, & Plastic Tree considered?

Indie rock, electro rock, lo-fi rock, folk rock - you know, the types of rock that aren't on the poll. :)

Though I'm with Halla on this on - I don't focus on genres, really. Just artists.

I also like Acoustic Rock = Acoustic music converted from Rock music

i chose soft rock. i really dont like rock much but i do like an occasional song or two, and they always turn out to be soft rock. i absoplutely cant stand any of the grundgy stuff or the gothic or emo rock stuff...

Modern Rock = ;D
Classic Rock = ;D
Punk rock = ;D
Soft Rock = ;D
Nu Metal = ;D

Some Metal, but not alot. x.x

Gothic rock, that's how I'd call it. Plus punk rock & metal from the list. Yup. And folk rock too.

I just have to say that everyone should listen to The Sword. They're very Black Sabbath-y with a touch of Clutch in the vocals. And the cover art to their CD is abso-freakin-lutely gorgeous.

Reminds me of the artwork for the Soilent Green albums.

whaha sure took you long enough :P.. Yeah they are very good.. The songs all sound like they should be in beautifully CGI-ed fantasy movies.

Indie. You forgot Indie. Oh! And Folk Rock is great too!

I like Hard Rock mostly.^.^

Industrial and Metal for Mee ^__^

I love many different types of rock music, from hardcore, to punk, to metal, Classic rock etc. Stuff I listen to ranges from No Doubt, to Panic! At the Disco, to Finch, Atreyu, From Autumn to Ashes, Smashing Pumpkins, The Clash, The Police, Mudvayne, 311, Kittie, Incubus, Red Hot Chilie Peppers, The Beautiful Mistake. I also love J-rock like Dir en grey, Plastic Tree, Glay, Luna Sea, X-Japan, Pierrot, Lareine, Fake?, hide, Art-School, The Back Horn. Also some K-rock like Cherry Filter, Pia, Eve, and The Trax.

I guess Nu Metal.

Hmmm, I'd guess I have to say that out of those listed I listen to Soft and Punk the most. :p

^I enjoy that kind too!

^dido I don't have a set genre that I listen too, I listen to everything really.

Ok, I love rock so I must be nit picky with some of the definitions given. :)

"Punk Rock (Music that sounds really simple and the guys hardly sing [Sum 41, Blink 182])" If you are making a Punk rock category, you have to list the Sex Pistols and Ramones. Sum41 and Blink 182 aren't really punk, they are more like pop rock. Punk is more about the attitude than the actual music.

"Emo rock (Emotional rock where it kinda sounds lilke the singer is crying [AFI, HIM])" I don't think I'd really classify HIM as EMO. More Modern/industrial.

"Soft Rock (Just really slow rock [Nazareth])" Nazareth is not soft rock. The only soft song that they are really known for is Love Hurts and that was a cover. They are definitely classic rock all the way. Soft rock is something like Matchbox 20 or REM.

Plastic Tree I'm not sure about. Dir en Grey would be Metal/industrial? although I really think Visual Kei is like a genre unto itself. :) And L'Arc is a hard one to classify because their style varies so much - they have some definite metal songs, they've got some power ballads, they've got some industrial, they've got some classic sounding stuff, they have punk versions of their songs, they've got soft rock etc etc. They really are just an all around great rock band. :yes

I'm into Visual Rock, Metal and Black Metal^^

^ Great Rock Genres

[And That is the Cutest Pansa ever in Your Avatar ^__^]

Yes, i like him^^ so kawaii

At the moment i'm listening to Dir en grey, D'espairs Ray, Moi dix Mois, Malice Mizer, Danger Gang and Aural Vampire in my playlist^^ did you hear of danger gang, a female visual rock band? i would say their music sounds like "Vidoll". ^^

No, I Haven't Heard of them. I Must Find Some of their Stuff and Listen to It.

Lately All I've been Listening to is Moi dix Mois Over and Over Again ^__^

Oh i could upload the album "Doku Rock" for you, but i'll do it tomorrow^_____^ Moi dix Mois is great, got all their albums.

^ That would Be Great Thanks ^__^

They Are, I Practically Worship them and Have Every Single, Album and DVD They've Released so Far and Mana-Sama is My God <3

F... Rock Music! It's about the devil!!!

Yeah he's great, i love his style *____*

Oh, before i forget, i uploaded it a week ago and i just found the link... i'll post it in the download-thread^^

^ He Is, and He's so Damn Beautiful. Must Have his Style.
I Love it when I Tell People He's Really a Guy, Their Faces go All O_______O

Ohh and Thanks for That ^__^

Yeah i know that, when i first tell a friend, that he's a guy, he thought i wanted to trick her... that's funny because i think with his new styling he looks more male than in the past.^^

BTW: Have you seen the Malice Mizer movie "Bel Air". Mana played the lady who wanted to entrap Gackt (he was a prince in this movie *___*).

^ He Does, But I Love his Hair Now.
I Told that to Some guy at School and He Started this Whole Debate on It 'Cause He thought I Was Lying. It was Rather Fun

I Think I Saw that Movie, I'm not so Sure

^_____^ If you want to watch this movie ones more, here's a link on youtube... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMAb0...Malice%20Mizer Every time i watch it i have to laugh^^ and Mana's so pretty in it.

^ Thankies :]
I'll Be sure to Try and Watch it Later, I Have a Bit of Trouble with Youtube Sometimes

The only thing i hate about youtube is that you can't download...^^ i'm searching for videos to make my own fanvideo

I really don`t listen to rock. The only band I like is No Doubt.

Ahh i would say No Doubt is a little bit Ska isn't it?

punk rock and metal for mee xD
favobands is Linkin Park, Slipknot, koRn and Lordi xD

yeah

Linkin Park - Nu Metal/Modern Rock/Metal

I like Modern Rock and Soft Rock, Grunge when Cocco sings it (and Garbage if you'd consider them Grunge), and Nu Metal (when Lacuna Coil sings it). I also like whatever genre of rock Evanescence is (possibly Epic Metal). I only like female vocalists though, so that rules out many rock artists.

I keep wondering how the people who listed "M" as one of the best ayu rock songs would vote in this poll. ^_^

Alternative Rock & Grunge from the 90s. It's the music I grew up listening to :)

i like soft rock the best, such as Embrace, Beth Orton
i am too old to handle very energetic rock!

I have no idea. Someone classify No Doubt, Evanescence, My Chemical Romance, Coldplay, Muse and The Cardigans for me using those options.

I've got into death metal quite recently; Bands like cradle of filth, cannibal corpse and abigail williams.

There's something poetic about weird guys screaming lyrics that you can't understand.

I suppose classic rock. =/

I choosed metal and industrial rock.
Industrial rock 'cos my fav genre is trance and that kind of music and industrial rock has influences from electronic. :)

punk rock I guess. lol

NU METAL / METAL For me it's all about the screamin'! Love LINKIN PARK, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, SLIPKNOT, etc.! Rock on!

Alternative/Indie rock is my calling.
But I love ALL types of rock, except for metal.

I like all kinds of rock I mean I love seether and metalica and I also love Nirvana and the old rockers so I have chosen

Grunge Rock-Nirvana

Metal-Metallica

Modern rock-Seether

Nu Metal-Linkin Park

None of the above? I'm into cute-girly-rock, like speena.

i voted metal. coz i think 80s rock is d best! :D Hammerfall, Manowar, KISS, AC/DC, Guns N Roses, n all them...

Modern, Metal, Grunge, Emo, SoftI love


but you forgot Pop-rock and Gothic Rock

Mostly Glam, Grunge, and Industrial.

Whatever is good, I suppose.

I listen to a lot of metal. I listen to a lot of Iron Maiden, Queensryche, Metallica, Dream Theater, Iced Earth. There are a lot of European groups that I listen to like Helloween, Primal Fear, Stratovarius

There are also a few of modern rock bands that I like--Disturbed and Evanescence.

I also listen to a lot of glam metal from the 80's. I still like bands like Motley Cure, Dokken, Cinderella, Def Leppard

I mostly listen to all types of Rock but my fav are -
Nu-Metal - I love LINKIN PARK
Modern Rock - Evanescense
I also like Classic Rock - Punk Rock - Metal - Industrial and Soft Rock

punk and soft!
