Rap, since it sucks. Country is a close second.

Dance/Techno. I find some rap to be mildly entertaining, like snoop dogg etc. Otherwise I'm more of a country (real country- not country pop stuff) and rock guy.
Classical, I can dig at times.

personally, country never really appealed to me, but some of it isn't that bad. however, I'm open to any music that is well done. my actual least favorite type of music is just the contrived cookie-cutter trash that you hear flooding radiowaves nowadays. I'll gladly take a country song that is from the heart and compelling over a catchy pop punk or teen queen diva song that was cranked out in 15 minutes with the same old hooks and the same old lyrics that will without doubt be a big hit on mtv and sell a bunch of albums just because a lot of people just don't know any better.

I was going to say Classical but I'm not forced to listen to it...but the guys at work like country and keep changing the radio station.....damn country people

I like all sorts of music and have a varied collection of CD's and mp3s....but I listen to rap the least, and I think its either good or horrible, so I chose rap.

Rap/Hip-Hop, can't stand it. If it has "pimps" and such stuff in it I can't stand it at all. The next one would be Salsa. I *hate* salsa.

I absolutely despise happy, touchy-feely kinds of music. Even country sounds better than the usual crap you have to go through if you go out at a club.

Give me something involved, weird, sad, melancholic, dangerous, labile...

And this, although I am in no way what most people would pigeonhole as "goth" or "emo".

Rap, without a doubt. This is sad when you take into consideration that I can at least appreciate all forms of musical expression. But when it comes to Rap. I really, really hate it.

I know just what you mean, although I can enjoy things that sound happy if there is something else going on that makes it otherwise interesting - The Gourds cover of Gin 'n Juice (Mocking rap with bluegrass), Phish - Sparkle (happy or sad, the music itself is interesting), or They Might Be Giants - They'll Need a Crane (Happy, chipper song about a relationship self destucting), Youth Culture Killed My Dog (Just like it sounds), or about half their songs (Happy meets irony).

I'm not sure if I like that about myself, though. Time to listen to more Mozart, I guess.

Yeah, me too... I listened to the song "Institutionalized" by Suicidal Tendencies yesterday and i really LMAOed :-) and enjoyed it, although it's unlike any other bands I listen to.

As far as listening to classical music is concerned, I recognize that classical music is "classier" etc, it might even be more "thought out", but sorry, I can't listen to it. It leaves me completely uninterested. It too grandiose, too pompous, too unrelated to my life, it has no lyrics, it has no message, it can't replace bands like Tool or A Perfect Circle or Anathema, because it just doesn't fulfill my emotion-venting needs :rolleyes:

I had to choose one, so I picked country, but I'd much rather have been able to pick metal. Actually, a lot of techno is pretty shitty too.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've never actually tried listening to rap. Good for you for being open-minded. :thumbsup:

Well, I could go on and on about how there is as much or more diversity in classical music than there is in all other types of music listed on this thread combined, so that, if you don't like classical music, it is very likely that you just haven't heard the right classical music. That, however, was not the point I wanted to make.

It feels a bit, I don't know, odd? icky? sad? to me that it seems I need cynicism, pathos, or irony to really enjoy a song, and I was merely noting that my listening to something that stood purely on he merits of its sound, like Mozart might be a way to counteract that. (JS Bach would be even better, but what Mozart I have is happier, and Bach, for all his 23 children, is kind of juiceless.) Not that the cynicism, pathos, and irony aren't there in Mozart, just that my ear isn't trained enough to pick them out.

For now I put country, although I do like old school country like Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash.

My real choice would have been teenie bopper pop music. That, and this new "Pop" Rap stuff that is on the radio nowadays.

Goddamn, I am becoming an old angry bastard already, talkin about the "good ol' days."

I picked rap because opera isn't on the list. I hate opera unless Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd are singing it.

Anything that makes someone think they are better than me because they are more cultured, havent sold out, liked them before they were popular, etc.....

damn music snobs! :rolleyes:

lol, umm realy though its hard to pick one, I can usualy find at least a few songs I like from just about every category. I guess my least favorite would be that super hard death metal crap, it just sounds like noise to me.

fat white kids should not dance...I don't even try anymore

I can't say that there is an entire of genre of music that I don't like. There are songs in every genre I can think of that I like and songs that I don't. As far as these choices are concerned, Techno is what I listen to the least of all of the other categories, but there are plenty of techno songs I enjoy.

ROFL! Are you sure you didn't mean <i>techo</i>?

Its a tie between Country and Punk, both make me vomit equally.

None of the above. Screaming lesbian punk rock drives me up the wall, however. :)

Goddamn Kids today and the NOISE they listen to! Grumble. Where's my fiber?

I despise Rap. It's not music. Closely followed by Dance and Country. At least with Country the musicians actually are musicians.
I just can't stand the whining lyrics.
There must be some magical fiber contained in Rap, Dance and Country because it gives me the shits.

Had to go with dance/techno because 'pop' wasn't there. I can really have a deep abiding hatred for any kind of "manufactured group" music. God I hate pop. Really I guess it's good it wasn't there because it's not music it's its own horrible thing.

Otherwise if i were to stop ranting, I chose techno/dance over, say Country because there is some really great old country and really nothing that is techno can ever be a classic. It self defines itself as a phenomenon of the moment. It's entirely reactive and damn near dependent, so it would seem, on well, things other than it's quality as listenable music. That being said, anything, as Derwood said, that is 'Nasvhille pop' is also godawful, while Willie and crew rule the day. Though as other have noticed nearly every genre has at least a few bright spots and a lot of shit.
