What music genres have you introduced to others?

2014-06-13T20:38:31-04:00

I listen to everything - K-pop, J-Pop, Chinese traditional, Jazz, Dubstep, Classical...

What stories do you have about introducing someone to a different style of music? What do you like about that genre? What does it help or motivate you to accomplish?

Big Band & swing are just two of my favorites. I prefer metal before metal was named as such. Late 50's through the 60's. However there is one fairly new group with quite a club following the bands name is Fireball Ministry. Only released 4 albums so far but I love them all. Long live Black Sabbath, Elf, Rainbow, Steppenwolf, Ronnie James Dio and others who laid the foundations for todays Heavy Metal Music.

Like you SGT Spartley, I love every genre and type of music there is. I have moods where I will listen to a certain group or genre. Introducing my daughter to traditional Chinese was interesting. I must say she surprised me, usually she goes to her bedroom and shuts the door, but she liked several of the selections I introduced her to. Although she isn't ready to run out and purchase any, she does tolerate it when I am playing it. I love classical music for the relaxing qualities of it. Traditional Chinese is similar to classical and I find it good to relax to, or study to.

If I am working outside or around the house, anything upbeat. My playlist covers about every genre there is. Music feeds the soul, and can lift the spirits.

Finnish Folk Metal.

Behold Korpiklaani's Wooden Pints. It features a creepy General Zod looking lead fiddle player, a crab-walking rhythm guitarist and a gripping turkey-leg eating sequence.

About the only things I won't listen to are thug rap and country music. Everything else is pretty much on the playlist. Incidentally, after my recent assignment to Korea, I have grown a distinct taste for K-pop. Don't understand a damn thing they are saying, but they are entertaining to watch, and a lot of those songs actually have good beats.

I don't know about introduced but returning to my roots after retiring. I have a relearned appreciation for Jazz Music and make my annual pilgrimage to the Corporate Woods Jazz Festival in Overland Park, KS every June. See you there if you're in the neighborhood.

Bluegrass covers

Modest Mouse's Float On http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVg1u6KqqqE

Also, having a 9 month old, I've found some baby music that not only keeps him quiet, but I can listen to and teach him the good stuff at the same time.

Tool's Sober

Pretty much anything and everything, I love the fact that my kids are into all the same music my wife and I are which ranges anywhere from Rush to Billy Joel to Kiss to Andrew Lloyd Webber to classical piano to AC/DC. Talk about extremes.

Hardcore punk, underground rap, psychobilly, folk metal, math metal, crust punk, black metal, and sludge metal.

Most people are confused when it comes to crust and black metal, many respond to it well though.
