I like all music (except most rap and some pop, and black pop(new school R&B)), my favourite of all time is probably classic rock, rock, alternative, metal, classical, some country, and whatever you call it.. i suppose genral new age to be vague.
At the moment i'm likeing a lot of 80s.

I hate modern R&B which isn't R&B, but is really black pop, i hate a lot of crap rap, i do like old school rap, but not a lot of the new stuff, and finally i dislike at times some pop.

There is an error in the poll. Rap is a subset of hip-hop. Hip-hop is the culture that includes rap, some R&B, MC-ing etc.

I feel sorry for you suckers missing out on some of the best lyrics this planet has seen by umbrella-ing all rap as crap. Naive and short-sighted. Oh well.

It also includes beatboxing and graffiti. I too like rap. K.R.S.O.N.E and Jedi Mind Tricks for example.

Well, where I live it's not that way. They say stuff that contridicts all that stuff. Like i'll say the oly rappers I'll listen to are outkast and kids will all break out like, no there hip hop, like lil jon, snoop dog and twista are rappers, and all that rap crap

Love rap, Love metal
Recently I have been listening to alot of rammstein and Dimmu Borgir.
Oh and I recently heard Feel good Inc by Gorillaz and I love it...

Begin rant.

Rap is good. I really like the Roots, Madvillain, Public Enemy etc.

Hip-hop, as a culture, is problematic in my opinion. I appreciate the fact that it provides role models and has great artisitic merit (as in poetry-meets-zeitgeist). I can even appreciate the way it alters language--for better or worse, a language which doesn't evolve and adopt is a dying language (take that, Académie française!).

But I cannot respect the way hip-hop (often) glorifies the very aspects of modern, innercity life which keep people living in permanently depressed conditions. People like ODB (I'm not sorry he's gone) who are role models and who tell people they should go out and have 10 kids with different mothers because that's what men do. ODB was an influential clown. Contrast him with RZA, who is smart and talented and, from what I know, a better role-model.

Hip-hop which raps about education as being stupid or a waste of time is, IMHO, 'naive and shortsighted.' The difference between hip-hop and other music cultures is the seriousness with which people take it and the fact that many fans are quite poor. Thus hip-hop culture has a responsibility to be more responsible.

End rant.

I'm still in shock Keal thinks Tool suck! :eek:

BEST BAND EVER! :D

Who is Tool? Some British band?

There an American metal band. There quite big in the USA I'm suprised you haven't heard of them. Their website is www.toolband.com

The singer of Tool (Maynard James Keenan) is also the singer of another band: A Perfect Circle. I like them too.

However Tool are my favorite band by far, I love them.
