This thread is like this but just on here. Metal sub genre or non-metal, what bands/artists/rappers/singers do you like that are from a genre you dislike?

Indie rock: Neutral Milk Hotel, Pixies, and Arcade Fire.

Hardcore punk rock: Dead Kennedys and Minor Threat

Country: Johnny Cash and 16 Horsepower

indie rock isn't a genre

indie rock isn't a genre

Rap: N.W.A., Lil John, Busta Rhymes
Pop: Early 1980's Madonna and Michael Jackson
Techno: Oakenfold, Aphex Twin, Chemical Brothers, Crystal Method

I honestly enjoy most other forms of music, including country, hardcore, punk, etc.

[ArneZ]

The Prodigy are so fucking good I even put their albums in my metal collection.

 

[False Joe]

The Prodigy from wherever they are.

And Immortal Technique from Rap

 

[Satanist Hobo]

Rappers = All of them.

 

[Badbird]

You love all of them Satanist Hobo?

 

[Satanstoenail]

I generally don't like Contemporary R&B but I think Erykah Badu is rather great.

 

[damnromulans]

Erykah is a fucking goddess.

I don't think I REALLY dislike any genres but I'll list some of my least favorites. Shame the fuck on those of you who don't like country, pop or synthpop. Also indie rock is a really broad genre you retard. What do you call all those horrible bands like Neutral Milk Hotel and Beirut?

Folk: Bob Dylan
'70s rock: Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Pink Floyd
Jazz: Pat Metheny, Miles Davis, Benny Goodman (is he jazz?)

 

[Lateralus14]

Ryan Adams

@Krampus: How can you not like Jazz? I love all of it, except for the doctor's office waiting room styled "light jazz".

 

[damnromulans]

I dunno, it just doesn't do anything for me and I rarely feel compelled to listen to it.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Fair enough. I feel that way about "traditional" blues (Robert Johnson, B.B. King), though I like some blues rock like Stevie Ray Vaughn and Kenny Wayne Sheppard.

 

[damnromulans]

Ah yeah see with me blues = the dirtier and more Delta, the better.

Bro-tastic rap-rock: 311

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

311 = uke:

 

[panzerfaust666]

Blues: Robert Johnson, Son House( BOTH UNBELIEVABLE! )

also Krampus, i think Charles Mingus would be more your kinda jazz...
