Often it's seen as unusual for a GN'R/metal/rock fan to enjoy a genre much different from those just mentioned. I myself am a massive fan of hardstyle (hard dance music) and have taken a keen interest in that over the last few years, somewhat neglecting GN'R (for which I have a new found passion again). If you would have asked me about such music in 2005, I would have replied "that's not music, real music is made with guitars and drums". It's interesting how appreciation for music changes. So I'm interested, who has an interest in a genre or type of music that you wouldn't typically see mentioned on a GN'R forum?

I listen to some non-mainstream metal (well...most metal isn't mainstream, I suppose).
Sister burn the temple
And stand beneath the moon
The sound of the ocean is dead
It's just the echo of the blood in your head

I listen to classical, jazz, meditation type music (like your floating around somewhere on a space ship) old funk, disco, industrial, and love dance/techno music. Of course I'm a huge George Michael fan as many of you already know, I think he's the best singer of my generation hands down. I'm also a big Tears for Fear fan. Hall and Oates are not far behind.

Dance music generally has more interesting rhythm than rock music even if it's created on a drum machine. The vast majority of rock drummers suck.

I listen to everything, but of late(well, for a while), I have been on a Ma Carter binge. Hell, I love all that old ass deep folk South sounding stuff.

With Jazz and Classical I tend to lean towards more gentle forms. Laid back Jazz, light piano etc. Classical I like it real slow too, nothing hyped up, just calming strings etc.

Me too. I really love Diana Krall's music for example. It's very relaxing, laid back.

I have a Tyrone Shoelaces tattoo.

If anyone gets that reference, you are old as fuck, or have a lot of time on your hands.

I've been digging this kind of stuff, amazing for meditating:
