[Zephyrus]

Classical

post-rock.


sadguru fyi, the closest thing to funeral jazz would probably be bohren und der club of gore...

That post wasn't 100% serious. But yeah, Bohren & Der Club of Gore definitely came in mind aha.

classical for me. prog is in 3rd place

 

[RedinTheSky]

I voted for Jazz, which realistically is tied with classical, prog rock, and fusion for me.

[angelofdeath9308]

lol. I love posts like this. It's like when someone makes a thread "HAY ANY (insert band name here) FANS?" and then someone replies by recommending albums BY THAT BAND the poster should check out.

I'm surprised only two other people voted for classic rock. Probably because it was paired with "pop rock", which is probably the shittiest type of rock in existence...

I can appreciate almost every genre listed there, and I listen to stuff in most of them on a regular basis...but overall classic rock dominates in terms of having a huge spectrum of really fucking good artists residing in the category.

Don't get me wrong, I love prog/psych rock, post rock, ambient, psytrance, etc, but the good artists are few and far between...lost in a sea of other artists who suck really bad.

Not to say there isn't shitty classic rock, of course, but the ratio of good music to bad music within the genre seems much greater than with any other.

Just my opinion, of course.

 

[Lothlorien]

folk/country. that's a bit vague. i voted folk, but despise country.

 

[derbeder]

i primarily listen to classical, then some metal and jazz. recently some prog rock as well

 

[Belligerent]

Voted Prog since I listen to Porcupine, Floyd, Crimson nonstop.
