I like anything in the indie genre.

Just wondering, what specifically do you listen to in the indie genre?

I don't think I can exactly describe my favorite music genre, except it would be generally categorized as electronic or experimental music. My favorites hands down are The Chemical Brothers and Rjd2. I also like some alternative rock, like Maroon 5 and OneRepublic.

Is Indie really a genre? I mean the term indie really only refers to what type of label a band is signed on and not the actual music they make. I guess same goes for the term "classic rock", both are only categories of rock, but not really genres...

Sorry, just me being very OCD, LOL.

[PinKkFloyDd]

Classic rock signifies a time period. Indie (technically) signifies independent labels. But now indie means a whole subculture. Personally, I despise the indie subculture.

I agree, Stephanie. In my post, I was going to mention that indie is just too broad (there's indie rock, indie rap, etc) that it's not actually a genre, but I wanted to see what spazzedup would say anyway. lol

And actually, I don't think it's really like saying you like classic rock. It's more like saying you like popular music...

I listen to rock, hard rock, some alternative rock, death metal, thrash metal and heavy metal. The bands i like are pretty much Iron Maiden, Metallica, All that Remains, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Underoath, Cannibal Corpse, Decapitated, Slayer, Dragonforce, Megadeth, Disturbed, Dream Theater, Foo Fighters, System of a Down Papa Roach(last resort) and Lamb of God.

Ugh, nothing is more annoying than seeing "anything besides country." Firstly, if you really listened to everything besides country, that means you'd listen to genres such as polka, Sub-Saharan African folk music, Gregorian chant, etc. Secondly, the only country you've (and probably most of today's generation) is either bubblegum pop country or you have preconceived notions that all country is about trucks and getting wasted and, for some god awful reason, corn fields and other ignorant stuff. Outlaw country is amazing and very thoughtful and heartful and I hate to see it get neglected because, "lol, it's cool to hate country!"

I'm starting to get more into Iron Maiden. Found Racer X and Paul Gilbert. Just wonderful.

[blackmanor1000]

My taste in music is very refined . I listen to a lot of pre-1990 Rock and occasionally country. My favorite groups/artists probably would be The Grateful Dead, The Doors and the Beatles. The rest of my music is really just all over the place. I have a few classic oldies/rock 'n' roll songs too.

Pantera is really good. The band broke up after the lead guitarest Dimebag was shot and killed on stage. :/

[PinKkFloyDd]

I've been on a Jethro Tull fix (again). Some pretty amazing albums; Benefit, Aqualung, Thick As A Brick, War Child, Minstrel in the Gallery, Too Old to Rock n' Roll, Too Young to Die!, Songs From The Wood, Heavy Horses...

Particular songs that own:

1. Thick As A Brick
2. Minstrel in the Gallery
3. The Whistler
4. Two Fingers
5. Queen and Country
6. One Brown Mouse
7. Heavy Horses
8. Teacher

So much good material.

For anyone into Judas Priest, the "Sad Wings of Destiny" album is really good. They started having a heavier sound, but still kept an enormous amount of emotion. I suggest listening to "The Ripper" or "Dream Deceiber".
