I know music is a big part of a lot of people's lives. Just wondering what type of music people listen to because it is so spread out from where I'm from. There is no music that like everybody likes or dislikes. Like at my school rap is very popular, but the way I look at it, you can't spell crap without rap. I personally like Country and some old stuff like Jimi Hendrix. The thing that makes Jimi's music so good is that he was high whenever he was playing pretty much.

I used to be the same, but I just recently got back into listening to Country, because that's what my mom listens to. So do you listen to that Jazz 'cause you're from New Orleans?
It's funny, I think most of the best music comes from jolly old England. Eric Clapton, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and The Who are all among my favourites, Clapton especially.
I think the most underrated band ever, and my favourite band out of the USA would have to be the Allman Brothers. Despite being a cowboy, that's really the only country music I listen to (and it's more rock/blues anyways). Besides Johnny Cash, but everyone listens to him. All you rock/country fans definitely holler at me if you like the Allmans.
I also love Bob Dylan for his songwriting and grungy voice, as well as Jimi Hendrix for his out of the world guitar skills.
Rock is probably the best genre, but like a lot of my sheep-minded peers in middle school.. I developed a taste for hip-hop. The stuff nowadays is just garbage, but I love the rap in the 80's and 90's like The Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Rakim, and the Wu-Tang Clan. Basically the kind of hip-hop that actually has intelligent lyrics.
I like a lot of stuff. like nilmerf said, I think the old school hip hop has a lot of meaning. I also like rock music, nto so much classic, but more modern and alternative including bands like the white stripes, U2, franz ferdinad, the killers, maroon 5, etc etc. I also liek a little bit of the new hip hop, esp the roots and kanye west. I listen to a lot of different music though. oh, and I listen to jazz when I'm working on the computer becasue somehow it helps me concentrate.
