Woohoo!

i'm torn between two. rock and dance but genraly i listen to most types of music.

[Barakka]

Went for Rock, although it was quite a tough one... I do love dance music, but always come back to Rock in the end...

Dance music has had a massive impact on the UK, it was after all the dominant music to be pushing the boundaries for about 12-15 years (1987-200?).

It's not just drug monkeys that listen to it either, I have known several people who live for dance music and never touch anything like that.

I also love the way that there are so many strains of dance music, my favourite is Goa Trance, like Return to the Source stuff

[kaillum]

so wheres the option for all of the above??? coz i know if I look in my mp3 collection they'll be at least a couple of tracks from each of the genre above...

but i've gotta go with the rock.. its where my music life started... closely followed by Dance coz its influenced me in so many ways I never thought music could.. (hats off to ya Barakka m8e.. you introduced me to it!!)

sorry... your personal experience obviously counts for jack sh!t... how old are you? 16? 17? wait until you get out in the real world before you start spouting off about something you obviously know nothing about!!!

Firstly, I apologised and retract my statement about the ecstacy and dance music bit, so why go on about it Kaillum?

And secondly, the bit about smoking and drugs is my OPINION and what most people in my area think. Maybe they're regarded more highly where you live, but most (I admit not all, but a large amount) of people who "do drugs" aren't nice people.

And about alcohol.. Again the cretins bit was maybe too harsh, I admit I give my opinions wrongly sometimes, and do enjoy a drink myself, what I meant was I disagree (there, not so harsh) with "binge drinking" or whatever it's called, where people go out and drink huge amounts and feel awful in the morning.

All this aside, I don't wanna create any sour relationships with anyone on these forums I apologise for my immature attitude towards these issues.

Thanks for listening..

Have to agree with you Kaillum, it seems that wherever you go (musically) you always come back to your roots. With the likes of you and me it's Rock as that's where we discovered the power music can play in your life. Other people I know first discovered this with dance music and can't stand listening to anything with a guitar riff - each to their own.

Some people get really into the genre of music they first discover, and never let anything else in, as some people i've met like Rock/Metal and curse and spit if you play ddance music. This is not a problem, they have a strong devotion to the style of music they like.

The ones I don't like are people with No Preference, i've only ever met one person who this was 100% true about, and it was scary. She had one CD player in a £40 portable stereo thingy (as she called it) but it only got plugged in about twice a year, and she only had "about 3 CD's" - that she was given with it ! I felt ill for about a week

As for the drugs/music thing, in times of worry turn to the late, great Bill Hicks:

See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal f***ing high on drugs, man.

Your attitude is only immature because of your lack of experience dude, i'm sorry meself, flew off at you there a biut too harshly. Don't think its only you, i do it to everyone with that kinda stuff.

Most of the people you know that take drugs are the scallies that hang around at your local bus stop, no?

they're idiots anyway and to base an opinion on anything they do is gonna lead to disagreements.

There are always gonna be differences in opinion and you've taken this one a helluva lot better than most people i disagree with.

[Howard]

I took it "a helluva lot better" cos I realised I was in the wrong

And yes most of the people I know who take drugs are bus-stop townies, but don't actually hang around the bus stops that I know of, more around the outside of school and near the shops

[steve threlfall]

I have a wide and varied taste in music but r and b and also rap can bite me frankly

[Kilrov]

Its gotta be metal/grunge/punk. New Distillers album on 14th October!

how can you say you think this stuff is wrong of your own free will when you say that everyone else thinks its wrong?! if this is so, then you are being influence. i listen to Drum n Bass, Hip-Hop n some dance and i have never taken pills, and never will. I know people who take pills, most of them are damn good friends who i'd trust with my life, and they are just people who take a drug out of personal choice.
i'm goin out tonight to a club, i'll drink and more than likely have a toke. does that make me a bad person?
i don't see why everyone is so prejudiced against users of recreational drugs (apart from crack n smack - heads), its so dumb, just following what the government and other fools tell you about drug users. i still dream of a day when people can put what the f*ck they want into their bodies without being persecuted. peace and mellowness.

Depends what you mean by dance. If you mean the 'drivel' that genrally gets in the charts then no. I however LOVE the more under ground stuff.

I don't think i'll be drawn on the dance and drugs issue, had that argument once too often and find that genrally people are to quick to judge due to sereotypes

[fondie]

well, i went with Lead Head on hip-hop, as the vote is clearly rigged into spreading thin the votes for RnB/rap/hip-hop! at least i can be thankful none of them got grouped together with garage as lots of clubs like to do! :\

i do like some dance music too though, (hard) trance mainly, i like to listen to it outside the clubs too, i find it relaxing!

kind of the opposite to Howard then, except for out mutual dislike/hate of garage!

[steve threlfall]

Its mainly dance (not trance lite, the older harder stuff mostly) and rock that fills my playlist. Depends what im in the mood for really

[RoGuE|SaBeR]

Metal / Rock all the way!

Metallica, Iron Maiden, Audioslave, The Darkness, Stereophonics (slightly outta place but still rock)

So true about the rock / metal heads spitting on dance music It just doesn't appeal to me at all but I can see how the experience of clubbing works for ppl. All the senses - hearing, touch (pumping bass), sight (good light shows) all combined should be amazing.

Some odd tracks from different genres I can really listen to but the mainstay is Metal / Rock.

[ReDOcToBeR]

I like a bit of dance music esp the waltz and tango

Tbh I like all kinds of music apart from jazz, just can't get into that one.

It also depends what mood I'm in to what I listen too but they all sound pretty good to me coming outta me Missions 500's f/standers wid spike and me Arcam seperates

[schrickvr6]

deep house and tech house here...but i totally can't stand hard house,trance and eurocheese
