Have you ever thought about what types of music are there?
That's an oddly framed question. Do you mean that literally ?
What is your favorite type of music?
That's not an oddly framed question. And like Crow, I don't have one. The only music genres I
don't like are ragga and some country and even then it's about the song, not the style.
Funnilly enough, I love fusions. Most of popular music from the late 19th century onwards is a fusion of some kind. And I dig it when styles get fused, especially when it was thought impossible, like when Indian music fused with rock {the Beatles} and Jazz {John Mayer and Joe Harriott}.
My favs are still the old classic bands like Traffic/ Blind Faith, Beatles, The Who, etc. But my tastes are VERY eclectic.
I'm shamelessly eclectic. I love the old classic bands, the obscure ones, the avant garde ones......
One band I should love but just can't is Traffic. Everything about them falls right into my zone of desire ~ late 60s, sitars, flautist/saxophonist, experimenter/jammers, drug influenced, three useful songwriters, one of whom was a singing writing drummer, affinity with hippiedom but British style........In a way, they exemplify for me that it's all about the song. Because with them, everything I like about that particular period falls into place but their songs {except for 2} do nothing for me. Whereas Family, who were very similar {so similar that their bassist Rick Grech ended up with Traffic's Steve Winwood in Blind Faith and both bands' saxophonist playing multi~instrumentaslists were kind of substance related casualties of the era and they even shared, in part, the same producer} are much more listenable, despite some avant garde moves early on.
but I don't really like HEAVY (drop C, sing like Cookie Monster) metal.
I think of heavy metal rock as an evolution that reached it's apogee from 1966 to about '83. Most stuff after that, I can't be bothered with. I won't even listen to the cookie monster singers. I won't even listen to Cookie monster. Even as a kid watching Sesame Street, I thought he was an idiot.
