I've noticed that people on this board tend to only like music where the singer has a specific vocal pitch. Generally, everyone falls into one of these groups, and hates the other:

1. The Michael Gira group (also has Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits)

2. The Neil Young group (also has Radiohead, Jeff Buckley)

I'm in the first group.

That generalization is so far off that I'm going to assume it was a joke.

I like M. Gira and Neil Young.

And I'd bet that less than 30% of the people here even know who Gira is (without looking him up first).

I picked "experimental", but I also have a soft spot for a good melody and rocking guitars.

i voted OTHER because my tastes are ECLECTIC. (and unclassifiable.)

And some of us are probably proud of it as well.

Hooray for you, Charlie.

Ignorant and proud.

Other... why? Because I can't be defined.

PopTodd · **Posted:** Mon Apr 09, 2007 1:06 pm

Mostly the first two, but I'll dip the occasional toe into the "Experimental" pool.

Actually, as I type this, I'm listening to this guy:

And I'm digging it.

I like to pick and choose. Though probably less from the experimental group than the other two...

I chose "regular rock", but really, I listen to awesome rock. Like Andrew W.K. & Bling Kong, & anything with C.C. de Ville.

I voted "experimental" because I guess it's the best fit for most of what I've been listening to lately. But obviously I like it all.

Re: the whole M. Gira / Neil Young thing... what in the world are you talking about?

I guess he was using that to make fun of OPA!'s categorizations?

Definitely not:

FREAK FOLK
JAMBANDISM HIPPIES
HIP HOP HOS MUSIC
EXPERIMENTAL (i.e. noise bullshit/yelling by college age dropouts who can't play their own instruments but are tagged as being "interesting", "important" or "avant-garde" because their singer is Korean girl or something)
ELFIN ROCK
PEOPLE WHO WEAR ANIMAL COSTUMES ROCK
HIGHLY RATED BY PITCHFORK
OBSCURE AND IT COMES FROM A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY (i.e. FRUITY TROPICALIA)
ANYTHING THAT DRINKY RECOMMENDS

Or, more succinctly, POO POO BEAR v. TICKLEMONSTER
