	What Kind of Music Do You Listen To? Remove this text

Curious as to how my collection of MP3s broke down by genre I decided to seperate them all out and write down how much of each. Then I made a geeky graph and decided to show it off to everyone. how does your music breakdown look like?

This is just the stuff in my main music mix folder. I've got other sub folders with cover songs, and comedy, and theme songs and such, but this is just the main stuff I regularly listen to.


Catholic 14
Other 21
Blues 26
Country 33
Classical 68
Punk 69
Pop 69
Rap & R&B 82
Oldies 106
Indie & Emo 115
Alternative & Other Rock 178
Classic Rock 316
Metal 354


How about you?

Doing a slice diagramme of my music folder would be unrepresentative, since I don't listen to all the stuff in it, but sure, I grow sufficiently bored ...

Progressive rock, other rock, classical and some pop.

Should prog-rock be count as classical rock?
what's the boarderline between rock and pop?

Its tough. I had to make some tough choices when I was putting my stuff in categories. So my breakdown is rough. Do your best I guess.

For example my "metal" category includes stuff like Warrant & Poison and stuff like Metallica & Iron Maiden and stuff like Limp Bizkit and Staind.

How did you do that pretty little pie chart? It looks like too much work for me.

I classify my music (using the edit tag feature in musicmatch jukebox) kind of weirdly. Other people might classify my music differently.

hair bands I call glam metal. I then have categories of metal, speed metal, death metal, black metal, nu metal, glam metal, rap, punk, grunge, blues, jazz, classic rock, hard rock, rock, pop, industrial, latin, classical, folk, oldies, country, electronic, r&b, alternative, reggae, comedy, and christmas music.

Those are all the genres I listen too. I have no idea about the percentages.

edit: I forgot a few genres, I had to load musicmatch to check them.

Overwhelmingly classical, which can be subcategorized:

1. Symphonic (Ranging from Mozart to Shostakovich)
2. Opera (mostly post-1850, except for the Mozarts and Rossinis)
3. Chamber music (esp. Bach, Brahms, Beethoven and Schubert)
4. Choral music (like the various Requiems, other sacred music, and tons of Bach)
5. Lieder (esp. Schubert and Brahms)

I'm not really into ballet music, excepting Stravinsky and Prokofiev.

Outside of classical, I listen to some movie soundtracks, classic rock, and am fairly partial to the Beatles, Pink Floyd and more recent alternative music. Oh, and Nick Drake is awesome stuff.

Plus I am catholic, so it's okay. I'm not really catholic, but I was baptised a catholic. You could say I used to be catholic.

Because I don't like biggest denomination in the world being depicted as a bunch of child abusers? Kansas must be a great place. And with your "lol" to this poor joke, You didn't earn much of my respect either.

That others are doing wrong, it doesn't mean You have to do it as well. And it's mostly about the style of this joke, or lack of it. It's not even funny. A joke You'd expect from a rude 13-year old with bad grades and not from You. You should be ashamed of yourself.

quote: what do you mean "catholic"?

Basically, its the same thing as Christian rock. The recipe is quite easy. You take a classic song and you replace, for example, a 'you' by a 'thou'. Take, for instance, "I touch myself" by Blondie.

quote: I don't want anybody else When I think about you I touch myself Ooh I don't want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no

It becomes:

quote: I don't want anybody else When I think about Thou I touch myself Ooh I don't want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no

I listen to...

- Classical (mostly 20th century stuff)

- Jazz (post bop, mostly)

- A bit of actual/contemporary music (the more listenable stuff)

- Classic rock

- Alternative rock

- Electronic music: house, progressive house, techno, intelligent dance music (Boards of Canada, Autechre, some Aphex Twin), ambiant, breaks.

-Chillout. Not necessarily electronic, IMO. Take Mile Davis' In a Silent Way, for example.
