    Re: Music - what's your favourite genre?

    I'll listen to most music - had Radio 3 on all day today because it's just been full on awesome. I do love a bit of proper early music - which is generally classed as 12th-17th century... polyphonic plainsong transports me! Saying that, I like anything metal turned up to 11, and rock the 80's every no and again. I even like some modern stuff.

    The best music though? Music that I've made myself, whether it's completely improvised rubbish, or making music out of the dots some else has written down. That's where the best music is

    I listen to most stuff except country and metal/screamo. I'm a big fan of 70s-80s pop, 80s disco, EDM, classical, Rap, 60s soul & easy listening, etc.

    Re: Music - what's your favourite genre?

    I listen to such a variety of music, I couldn't define one genre as my favourite. In fact, it would be quicker for me to list genres I don't like: Blues, Classical, Country, Jazz and Opera.

    If I listed my current downloads on Deezer, I think some would be shocked at the disparity of the genres I listen to!

    Blur
    Counting Crows
    Deadmau5
    Dire Straits
    Elbow
    Eminem
    Evanescence
    Foo Fighters
    Genesis
    Guns N' Roses
    Incubus
    Infected Mushroom
    Lily Allen
    Marilyn Manson
    Mark Knopfler
    Michael Jackson
    Muse
    Orbital
    Pendulum
    Phil Collins
    Queen
    Radiohead
    Scissor Sisters
    Supertramp
    The Black Eyed Peas
    The Crystal Method
    The Prodigy
    The Streets
    Wilkinson

    Wow... Didn't realise I had so much. And yes, I listen to them all, plus more.

    Re: Music - what's your favourite genre?

    I've become quite bored of music recently. I think I need to discover a new genre as I'm getting a little tired of the music I have available on my computer..

    Re: Music - what's your favourite genre?

    I find audio quality isn't good enough for me (everything sounds a little fuzzy) plus on mobile, I don't have enough control over the sound as with the earphones I use they sound perfect with the Poweramp EQ.

    On mobile the default audio quality is pretty dire - needs adjusting in menus. Plus quality is better on paid version. Not FLAC quality though by a long stretch.

    Re: Music - what's your favourite genre?

    i'm ALL over the place on music.

    Doing 1000 miles per week I listen to lots.

    Main stay of the collection this month is

    Rhianna
    Armin Van Buren
    AC DC
    Bach's Magnificat
    Dolly Parton
    Will Young
    Led Zep


    so make what you can of that and then ignore your own thoughts....it's messy perfection
