Music that you don't listen to?

DeadChannel · 04-26-2015, 10:21 PM

I like to think of myself as a person who is pretty open minded when it comes to music. That is to say, I make a point of trying out things from most genres of music.

So, today, after a recommendation from a friend, I decided to pick up Johnny Cash's At Folsom Prison for a listen. To my surprise, I ended up really enjoying it.

I'm not really a fan of country music. I've just never really sought it out. I'm not sure I'll ever become an inordinate fan, but I had a lot of fun with this record.

What genres do you not listen to? Not genres that you don't like, but one's that you just haven't given a chance?

I don't usually like to just completely ignore one genre but I dint tend to listen to a lot of gospel, new age, and prog. I don't know why those but something about each of them irks me to some degree I think it's the emphasis on technical ability than soul, but that dosent really apply to gospel so I don't really have a good reason.

On the other hand I have been finding myself increasingly attracted to genres I never liked before like neo soul, nu-jazz, black metal, as well as funk and soul.

I haven't really found anything under Funk or Soul that I've gotten into yet. I'm not really sure I could get into new age, or anything particularly spiritual/religious/whatever. I really doubt I'll ever enjoy, like, CCM or anything.

Beyond that, I haven't really checked out, or had any really great reason to check out Latin or Opera.

I've just gotten some Issac Hayes and Stevie Wonder on vinyl that I've been really digging it's got a lot there that think has a lot of substance to it.

Jazz. Don't know why I don't listen to it. I know there's some really great stuff out there, but I have never really gotten into it. I should get on that though because it's a genre I'd really like to listen to more.

Acid jazz I bet I'd like, never heard any of it though. Apparently funk often flirts with psychedelia so I'd be down for that too, but I've barely sought it out, if at all

Yeah I second this Mondo, Funk a delicious rules, and Maggot Head will always be one of my all time favorites.

First country album I ever liked too. Still not that hot on country in general, but if you're like me then Townes Van Zandt will rock your ****.
