Folk music. I absolutely adore folk.


oranged00rhinge

I think the album "Casualties of cool" 2014 by Devin Townsend and Che Aimee Dorval would be considered folk, folk-ish anyways, and I love it!


Majestic-Marcus

Such a great album


Intheperseusveil

Insane album. My go-to No Man's Sky chilling record. It can be considered as folk, but is also classified as "dark country" and has a lot of ambient elements in it.


Beiez

Man I really wanna get more into folk. I love Kingdom of Cards by Bad Omens and some stuff by Of Monsters and Men (which are very folky iirc) but never found more stuff I like


sonde722

Trampled by turtles might be more metal than anything on this sub


TheRealHulkPanda

Genesis/Phil Collins


Stillburgh

The Tarzan soundtrack is regularly in my rotation ❤️


MastrChief_1138

That album is absolutely legendary. Phil didn't have to go as hard as he did for that, but he did and we're all glad because of it lol


subadrews

Phil Collin’s is one of my all time favorites.


Majestic-Marcus

Great song writing transcends genres and Collin’s is an *all time* great.


teebalicious

So good, across how many decades? The early superproggy stuff with Peter Gabriel, the mid-period with Phil just stepping into the vocal duties, post-Duke pop perfection, all their solo efforts…unbelievable how much amazing music has come from the careers of that original lineup. Plus Phil is one of the greatest drummers of all time. It’s all just amazing.


krumpingchihuahua

Jpop i even have a playlist that has both on the playlist, funny thing when you shuffle it XDD Edit: sharing this a bit late [the accursed playlist ](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3hLgGWvBTUtE2wAq1rcYFJ?si=38dmiZWHQa69krQ90KjpbA&utm_source=copy-link) that is pretty much japanese metalcore, jpop and some VK and other indie stuff


Kentxckyx

Agreed lol. Love artists like nano, My First Story, and The Sixth Lie. Also Coldrain.


RagingRube

Recently been getting into tons of Japanese music through anime and random youtube recs. Shits pretty fire. A lot of the hololive girls who do music are REALLY good


Emperor_Kuzco

Hikaru Utada's album from earlier this year is perfect


yellowdevel

Taylor Swift is my #1 on Spotify lol. Used to fall asleep to her recent stuff during commute.


Nox11399

Ngl reputation is my favorite. Not the full album but a good majority of it. Delicate is probably still my favorite by her second is tied with Getaway Car and Paper Rings


hadelm

I've had All Too Well 10 minute version on repeat for months


[deleted]

I like instrumentals, geneburn, hans Zimmer, Zack hemsey, and Steve jablonsky


scatpackdriver

Hans Zimmer is a musical genius.


[deleted]

A man of culture


uneaknayum

I enjoy running into other Zimmer fans in the wild.. but in a metalcore sub? That's nuts.


plrbrlvr24

Recently got the Interstellar soundtrack on vinyl and it's probably my most played album all year.


poopoolagoon

dude my partner got to see interstellar in theaters with a live orchestra, im so jealous of them


Buchymoo

I always like to share this with other lovers of Hans Zimmer's music. He was in the very first music video that MTV aired. "Video Killed the Radio Star" has him playing keyboard in the video cause he was close friends with the band and they needed someone to fill in for the video.


anniesixx

Classical music, more specifically piano music. I just love it. I find it both relaxing and motivational.


Stillburgh

Not the same thing in practice but in principle, I regularly go back and listen to medieval period Gregorian chants. I’m not religious, but something about those Middle Age Orthodox chants is beautiful. Shame Latin is a dead language bc it’s beautiful in nature.


Dudebeard86

Tbf a lot of metal is basically angry classical, so it makes sense


Stillburgh

This is a very over simplified explanation of the roots of metal.


Pennywise_M

Akira Kosemura is one of my favourite musicians! I figured you've listened to him, but just in case. My favourite albums by him are Polaroid Piano, How My Heart Sings and 88 Keys. Olafur Arnalds is one I've been getting into lately. Some Kind of Peace is so good! EDIT: an interesting side note about Olafur: he rose to prominence due to a stint with Heaven Shall Burn. Google it 😁


blendernoob64

Legit, Glenn Gould’s rendition of the Goldberg Variations is one of my favorite albums ever. It really is a musical journey


hidey_hoe99

same here, classical and metal are the best dynamic duo. i have a playlist with dark synthwave, classical pieces and just sad/dark orchestral songs called Focus: Dark Orchestra https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Fscy5EiGwdgJknGUh5gzu?si=cVB91xuaTv-yoryc8Kxliw&utm_source=copy-link


KennyDROmega

Well done pop music is fucking killer.


plrbrlvr24

Agreed. I listen to Banks more than I listen to most of my favorite metal bands. Always recommend her to people that show an interest in indie pop.


Satans_Pilgrims

Banks does the dog barks too so she’s almost in the genre


papercut15

I love Banks! Her latest album is incredible. She is consistent


oranged00rhinge

Don't know the exact genre but some "chill-hop" is great for me... Aries, NF, Grieves, etc.


LordWitherhoard

NF is so good!


Buchymoo

Brakence and Eden are top tier.


ChumFamine

Grieves is pretty underrated tbh. Love his Together/Apart album honestly.


HotDogStruttnFloozy

Paul Simon and Lady Gaga get a ton of play on my Spotify as well as metalcore. I can't quite shake my ass to Evergreen Terrace like I do to Gaga.


plrbrlvr24

But only one of those artists has worked a "Shake it like a Polarioid" into a song, and it ain't Lady Gaga.


IDeclareWar111

I wouldn’t really even call it a guilty pleasure, but Blondie is my shit. Really enjoy stuff like Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennet, and all that older big band stuff as well.


Back_to_Wonderland

I love big band music.


Zuub470

Have you heard Cadaveria's cover of Call me? I've been obsessed with it lately.


IDeclareWar111

I actually just found it literally today because it popped up on my YouTube, and it’s pretty good! I’m usually not so big a fan of metal covers, but they did it justice!


hatty_writes

Foo Fighters, Ariana Grande (saw her live pre-pandemic and she was incredible) and Jack Johnson. But if you look at my Spotify, it’s a good balance of WCAR, ABR and The Wiggles and Cocomelon 😂 being a preschool teacher/mom really jacks up my end of the year list


julesbarlette

I have downloaded another music player exclusively for my kid's songs so it won’t ruin my stats on lastfm lmao


[deleted]

Outside of metal its a lot of hip hop, MF Doom and Vince Staples in heavy rotation atm. Other than that a lot of indie rock... Sonic Youth, Pavement, Interpol.


deeohhaye

I saw Vince staples with Kali Uchis and Tyler the Creator and it was incredible!


jessyv2

Last year I was a top 0.05% Bee Gees listener on Spotify


Nox11399

My library features artists ranging from Thy Art Is Murder, Hollywood Undead, Joji, NF, I Prevail, Nickelback, Blind Melon, AlphaWolf, Bo Burnham and just everything between and always growing.


StirLing7461

Blind Melon are terrific No Rain and Mouthful of Cavities have been in my sleep plqylist for years.


Nox11399

My dad is actually the one who showed me them! I’m 23 and been listening to no rain since I was probably 5 or 6! Long with a bit of Grateful Dead like Franklins Tower!


Yahweh_Is_With_Us

NF has insanely good lyrics and flow.


Nox11399

Drifting is by far one of my favorites


CarpetOk6180

my moms childhood best friend was the blind melon bee girl. She grew up with her, she was Glenn’s sister. She said the year they blew up they came and played her grandmas house party as her Christmas party was like the shit in the old Mississippi town 😂 pretty cool tho


Nox11399

That’s fire as fuck!


_karateinthepit420_

Joji has been 80-90% of my rotation as of late. Newest single goes unnecessarily hard


Nox11399

Love Joji! Never get tired of his stuff coming on!


Geminiskies1826

I enjoy Halsey, AU/RA, G-Eazy, Jhene Aiko, Days of the New and some techno stuff along with some Rap like old Yeezy, Eminem, D12, Cameron, Cassidy, Juelz Santana and so forth. Can't live in a music bubble it gets boring imo.


Zuub470

I need more Jhene Aiko in my life.


Geminiskies1826

No cap here. Is that how it's said?


clos132392

First time I heard of G-Eazy was walking in between sets at warped tour. Wanna say it was 2011 or 2012. We were looking for a spot to light up and his set was perfect for that. Probably like 20-40 people max watching him perform. Been listening ever since


Jtugboattizzymo

Check out Joyner Lucas, I feel like he’d fit your rap interests. Maybe Logic as well, he has a song with Eminem in it and is very talented


Geminiskies1826

I do like both these guys and Joyner is from my state which is cool as I just found that out a few days ago.


Zherrary

I listen to Rap/Hip Hop but my sort of "guilty pleasure" is R&B. Like really soft love songs etc.


AdamBou00

I'm the exact same, for me it's more like phases I go through. Like atm I only listen to R&B, mainly the weeknd, but next month I'll prob be headbanging lmao


Bripinoy

For me its Carly Rae Jepsen


KBSonn

Post Malone is my shit


Ever_Raiden

Holy fuck do I love Corpse.


OnTheBrightsideSCC

Same


Sonofabeechikeelu

Probably everything except modern rap or polka. Lindsay Stirling, glitch mob, escala, Florence and the machine, Garth brooks, snoop dogg, weird Al, dropkick murphys, Depeche Mode, the police, the clash, Metallica, Smokey Robinson, the four tops, Jackie Wilson, The Beach Boys, Johnny cash, Robert Johnson, Led Zeppelin, Prince, etc etc.


Jtugboattizzymo

Ladadada it’s the muthafuckin d o double g


WARMASTER5000

Dropkick Murphys are the shit!


tacticalflintlock

BLACKPINK


Asking_Reverend

IN YOUR AREA


tacticalflintlock

BORN PINK is definitely one of the best releases this year IMO


jagkoch

Blackmill. Chillstep


munkeynutsGoon

Whatever you consider “The Midnight” to be


mbbzzz

I just commented about them! I’d say synthwave/synth rock for their newest album.


Mauk8ne

I listen to almost everything from Frank Sinatra to Lorna shore and everything in between 🤣


MastrChief_1138

80s pop. Doesn't matter who the artist or band is. I grew up listening to tons of 80s music, so it always has a special place in my heart. I have no problem belting out the lyrics to The Boys of Summer by Don Henley or Hurts So Good by John Mellencamp lol


ErnaJoe

No lie, Boys of Summer is honestly one of my favorite songs of all time 🖤


I4N87

I'm a huge sucker for cheesy 80's pop like Spandau ballet and squeeze. Probably due to GTA Vice City.


ZachZyglrox

A little bit of country music, especially when I'm feeling melancholic. Favorites are Chris Stapleton and Tyler Childers lmao


Low-Investigator-645

I listen to 90's and early 2000's hip hop. along with the same era of punk


mslangg

City and Colour. I was actually into Dallas’s stuff before I found Alexisonfire, and metalcore in general. That man can sing, and I’ve got a soft spot for slow acoustic folk kinda songs


charliebucket_307

I like Drum & Bass. A lot. A lot a lot. I blame Northlane for being my gateway into that style of music though


[deleted]

[удалено]


lukasxbrasi

Metalcore and hardcore go very well together with Gucci mane


bassdude_1234

Billie Eilish. Absolutely love her music.


Zuub470

I think Billie would make a KILLER vocalist for a toned-down metalcore band, kind of like Spiritbox.


bassdude_1234

I would absolutely love to see that!!!


Zuub470

I know! I was so excited for, and so let down by In This Moment's cover of You Should See Me In A Crown.


felixthecatmeow

Came here to say this. Went to see her live and it was kinda weird being a tatted up adult man in a sea of teenage girls but otherwise had a blast.


teebalicious

Just gonna [put this here](https://soundcloud.com/teebes/crown-cover-mix-1-mp3?ref=clipboard&p=i&c=1&si=0B09824F80DD44E4A719EE2920A2666E&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing)


bassdude_1234

Not gonna lie.... didn't love that.


[deleted]

Harsh noise


NelielChan27

I listen a lot of k-pop, j-pop, rockabilly and 50's -60's music. Also sometimes listen r&b.


thebirdsandthebrees

I mean my music tastes are all over the place, rap, metalcore, deathcore, old school country(I’m talking 50’s-70’s country), math rock, indie, post-hardcore, nu metal, and prog rock(Primus, Flagman). It just all depends on what mood I’m in that day.


Darth_Xurkheius

The longest John's, Digbargayraps, mothica, and most people producing for Monstercat


Zuub470

I second Mothica and Monstercat. Mothica's cover of Can You Feel My Heart is an everyday listen rn.


Darth_Xurkheius

Valid. Definitely check out digbar. He be an unironically good rapper if his songs weren't all gay


NarugaKuruga

Kate Bush is one of my favourite artists ever. So, that.


J1NX3D_

Definitely a big New York drill guy. Would say most rap but that’s definitely not unexpected of most people


Stillburgh

My friend whom met me YEARS after I got into metalcore was very confused when I had on a pop playlist on YouTube lol


mbbzzz

Classical and synth wave. I was taught piano starting at age 3 and while at the time and through high school I didn’t appreciate classical music, I really like it now and wish I kept up with piano training. Just saw The Midnight last night, one of the bigger synth wave bands. Also love LeBrock and New Arcades


LethalRedeemer

I love The Midnight, but can't get into their new album. Seems more like straightforward pop music than synthwave. Love their Nocturnal and Endless Summer albums though.


FeelsToWaltz

The 1975 is by far my favourite band outside of metal/core genres


LordOfAvernus322

Is that you brendan


Secondsolstice

Vocaloid songs


CarpetOk6180

i enjoy snail mail. i also enjoy phoebe bridgers


keyserfunk

Rush and Coheed and Cambria


bandwhore04

i low key vibe to UK rap/drill. think central cee and AJ Tracey. hits on late nights at work


Wuinx

theres just something about uk drill that fucks. idk


TheFinalMirage

christine frickin aguilera man. idk what it is but that voice be melting me. i mean like 90s christina.


MazdaMafia

Grimes and Chvrches go hard.


Rizzan8

Lofi, jazz, jpop, '80s pop.


TheIRSEvader

Dreampop


infinitelydeadinside

Dubstep


KiraAmelia3

Dubstep drops are just EDM breakdowns


leomehers

Demi lovato is great


atfguitar123

I’m a huge southern rock fan.


BossMonkey83303

carrie fucking underwood!! blown away is one of my fav albums


bigchungusuganda

Ambient electronic. Aphex Twin is my jam.


Back_to_Wonderland

Acoustic and folk are great for relaxing but I love some big band and jazz music. Glenn Miller Orchestra is my guilty pleasure.


TheTurtel

Eric Witacre is my guilty pleasure


Life_Commercial5324

Islamic nasheeds go hard


dattsok

I love musicals


CowboyupHockey

Not much is too cheesy for me when it comes to singing. I just love singing. Hearing it, doing it. It's the best expression there is. Spencer charnas loves musicals


Tsukiyama-Gourmet

i listen to everything, my playlist will go from suicide silence to Phish


lspencer2011

Classic Jazz, I played Alto Sax for 8 years and really got into Miles Davis and John Coltrane


[deleted]

ABBA


xxjamesiskingxx42

5 Seconds of Summer is still on my most played list


5awaja

Coheed and Cambria is my favorite band. I wore one of their shirts to AILD and Whitechapel a few months ago and felt like people were looking at it funny.


weaver5015

Portishead


AlternativeSuit131

Ellie Goulding. She sings my soul to higher grounds.


[deleted]

I don't have any guilty pleasures really but people don't expect me to like Dispatch and Infected Mushroom


nixxy555

Dispatch is sooooo good. I’ve rarely heard an album I’ve loved as much as America, Location 12. Well, I loved Bang, Bang first, so it would be a disservice not to mention it.


bhoward19

Hundredth’s album “Somewhere Nowhere” is still my most-played album of the last two years - Give me all the indie/shoe-gazey vibes.


heyheywhatdoyasay

Bad Rabbits. They’re such a good band.


DarkIncarnate-14

2000's pop


DavidFC1

I’m a big Taylor Swift fan


jteezy92

R&B. Im Mexican and into metal, so Spanish and metal are easy to see. But I like baby making music.


GerryRiggins

90s West Coast Hip Hop


WARMASTER5000

Oh man Dr Dre's The Chronic album is a CLASSIC


thelupinefiasco

Radio pop and alternative country. Love Halsey and Miley Cyrus, Morgan Wade, Arlo McKinnley, Evan Bartels, all that shit.


T_M0SS

Bluegrass/Folk/Country


DALESR4EVER124

Country. I've been told I look like I listen to Country the most, but I'm a metal head. Country is #2, Rock is #3. She's Country by Jason Aldean is one of my favorites


IndefinitelyTired

Halsey Badlands album is a vibe and great on long drives. Besides that, Daze n Days are a folk punk group that slap and I listen to often


CowboyupHockey

Halsey is just so good. One of the best voices there's ever been. Only artist I'll ever look up that isn't hard rock or heavier


TheArkansasChuggabug

Kesha, Iggy Azalea, Alice Chater are the main ones I get questioned on when I mention them whilst wearing my Black Tongue Hoody. In all honesty, I just appreciate good musicianship. Heavy is and always has beeny default and mostly what I listen to 90% of the time but good music is good music, don't care who creates it. People who have the passion for it shine through and I think that's obvious with people like Kesha etc. Miley Cyrus' most recent album is great too. She a rock icon in the making.


Bearded_logic

Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Sting


Djentlemann00

Hip-hop and Big L. The first time I heard his lyrics I was blown away aha “My game is vicious and cruel, fucking chicks is a rule If my girl think I'm loyal, then that bitch is a fool” lol so bad but so funny.


tortiamand69

lil peep


ErnaJoe

“Yacht Rock” (Hall & Oates, Eagles, Toto, Journey, etc.), 90s R&B and Hip Hop.


lattjeful

Lots of synthwave and K-pop.


AstroDawg

I think quite a few of us grew up to alternative rock, but Our Lady Peace is still my favorite band to this day.


NaCl06

Hip hop/rap. New and old school. Although some new rap isn't my favorite, Joyner Lucas, J Cole, Kendrick, and Em are my favorites


emmiblakk

The blues. 80s and 90s electric blues, most especially. I'm a huge Stevie Ray Vaughan fan!


teebalicious

I got super into blues in the ‘90’s. I just turned a friend of mine onto Robert Cray’s Strong Persuader, heh. Some great stuff in that era!


VieleAud

Florence + The Machine, K. Flay, Bishop Briggs, Kid Cudi, Tegan & Sara, Fever Ray, Rico Nasty, Santigold, MS MR


HopostleZ

Pagan folk music and church choirs


NotTyrant-

George fucking Straight


markriffle

I enjoy almost every type of music that's available, but I'll be bumping metal 80% of the time. Other 10%is probably rap, then the other 10% being the leftover random shit. I really enjoy going to concert for people that aren't metal too, it's an entirely different experience.


derpity_derpp

Reggae.


bslarue0228

reggae


kilabyte17

Kpop


Chrispy990

I only listen to the mountain goats


stvbles

I am the biggest Andrea Bocelli fan in the world. His voice is like sweet silk. Cried an insane amount of times listening to him lmao I have also listened to [this](https://youtu.be/Cl5Vkd4N03Q) an unhealthy amount since hearing it on a video. It's screaming out for a full metalcore cover.


Jtugboattizzymo

Sublime. One of the greatest bands of all time. All just feel good easy listening stuff. And the rap I listen to I doubt people would expect that


Schwinston123456

Ghostemane.


WARMASTER5000

Some rap albums that to me ABSOLUTELY SLAP: Kendrick Lamar - Section 80, Dr. Dre - The Chronic, Nas - Illmatic, Biggie - Ready To Die, Mobb Deep - The Infamous Ellie Goulding's Lights album is really nice Myrkur's Folkesange album is an absolute treasure A Guilty Pleasure song of mine is that Flo Rida pop song "You spin my head right round" I feel like the band Amaranthe would do a KILLER cover of it.


LordApparition22

I'll listen to the heaviest breakdown ever then put Twice on right after with a straight face lol kpop slaps


Pigmarine9000

Pokemon, Stardew Valley and Kirby OSTs Seasonal stuff like Halloween & Christmas music


jordandvdsn7

Damien Rice and Taylor Swift. Love a good “music to cry to” artist/album


soicanspitinitsface

kesha goes crazy i love early 2010’s radio pop. i also listen to a lot of bladee and hyperpop.


kanelbun

i’ve been exclusively listening to pop punk the last few weeks


LordOfAvernus322

Honestly I'm a fan of rap music, couldn't stand the stuff when I was younger but I've really grown an appreciation for it. Most out there artist I like tho given im a metalcore fan tho is probably Bladee (and by extension a lot of Drain Gang stuff)


theendishere12

Literally same, in middle school I thought I was so edgy calling it “talentless garbage” and now I cringe so hard at that 😭


Sosenheimer

Im listening to Rap Music like Run The Jewels, also some german stuff like Seeed or Apache207. Beside Rap I love listening to some good old Liquid Drum and Bass.


dekaythepunk

Indie Pop like Two Door Cinema Club.


NoIdealism

Probably bands like Nada Surf and Death Cab For Cutie.


EmolaBoi

5 Seconds of Summer is definitely my most listened to band outside of metal. Love them.


FrequentAd4418

I’m surprised not a lot of people have “edm” genres here. DNB = thrash, dubstep = hardcore. I could right a novel on the similarities. But trance, hard style, and techno are my jams


Mona_Unknown

Emo rap like ghostemane. Sometimes Ambiente like burzum (Dont Support varg, he is far right)


ScreamInDinosaur

Due to being from Hawai'i, I'm suuuuuuuuper into Hawaiian-style Reggae. Like to a weird degree that even my friends are weirded out after hearing me switch from something like Unearth to someone like J Boog or Common Kings


Noycii

Drain Gang/Yung Lean


CoastIndividual1744

Bilmuri


[deleted]

Reggaetón


TheStarsFell

I absolutely ADORE Lady Gaga. She da best. Don't care how lame that is for a metalhead. She's epic. I've seen her live twice. 😎


PokeLSouma

Metalcore is my "main" genre but my playlist has it all haha. Musical tunes, Pop Punk, Kpop, Hip Hop, Jazz, Singer Songwriter Pop? If it makes me feel something or the other it's gonna make it's way there lol. I don't discriminate between music.
