Name 3 music genres which best represent your overall taste.

Krautrock
New Wave
Tropicalía

No wonder my favorite band is Stereolab.

Thread title should be 'list' instead of 'name' but it's fine if you want to name a genre.

post-punk
minimalism
disco

Those exact three would probably be my second set of choices.

Mmm I'm going to assume your favorite band could be Blondie.... They're not precisely minimalistic though, maybe ESG? Im trying to think of a band which sounds influenced by those three genres and nothing comes to mind. LCD Soundsystem?

lounge
twee/shoegaze
soft rock

That one is even harder... Wilco?

microgimp
gubba
New Gravy Revival

That's an easy one Noodle, your favorite artist must be either Dave Matthews Band or Jimmy Buffet.

Pop
Rock
Jazz

sometimes I listen to Alternative or Classical

Slightly maudlin foreign-language pop with female vocals partially influenced by nineties indie
Slightly maudlin foreign-language pop with female vocals partially influenced by nineties Eurodance
Soca

Fingerbanging
Image Bands
Non-Shitty Basslines

deep genial somnambulism

I like both kinds of music, this record and the next one

Oi!
Oi!
Oi!

No wonder my favourite band is the Cockney Rejects.

Right now, Krautrock, post-punk and house

right now:

post-punk/new wave
modern jazz
new/experimental

-Brief Things
-Ponies
-Subliminals

i like all those bands. the answer is probably closer to devo and kraftwerk and can though.

Ooh I love taxonomy.

Progressive rock
Folk rock
Free jazz

what would be my favourite band based on my picks?

something which reinforces your worldview

vocal
instrumental
un

Dolphin techno
Penniless rap
Spiritual hat jazz

cave-voice
smokesound
post-eldritch horrorcore

too hard to do properly, but I think this is an accurate answer because it's three things no one gives a shit about

Free jazz
Disco
Gangsta rap

ok that came off a little sour, let me try:

+ moon-eyed, apollonian crooning*
+ running-through-moonlit-woods-caked-in-excrement jams
+ blank-faced party music

*not necessarily vocal

I'll try to do this more seriously, in the spirit that Moka intended...

My 3 favourite "genres" are:

-Shoegaze
-Krautrock
-Stadium House

No wonder my favourite band is... School of Seven Bells?

funk
power-pop
Latin/Brazilian

Favorite band: Pizzicato Five

atm

- disco
- ambient
- jazz-funk

that configuration may be too recent + unstable for me to already know and like whoever's nestled in the middle of it.

Donna Summer?

good enough.

gothic symphonic metal
indietronica
warm drone

Also, Fingerbang, what are 5-10 bands that represent Stadium House to you?

for some reason the first thing that came to mind for the Shoegaze - Krautrock - Stadium House combo was Scooter, this is comically inaccurate but I'm sticking with it.

clowncore
clockpunk
powerviolence

boom bap
70s Singer/Songwriter
pop country

I don't think there are 5 bands that represent Stadium House. Uuuhhh...

-The KLF
-Shamen
-Technotronic
-Snap!/Black Box/random Belgians with samplers?
-Technique era New Order

Utah Saints?

Post-Rock
Prog Rock
Techno/House

Fave bands: Rush, Stereolab

classic country
70s singer-songwriter
roots reggae/dub

i don't have a favorite band or artistbut the past 5 years have been dominated by: dylan/neil young/townes van zandt/george jones/joni mitchell/grateful dead/bill callahan/various reggae and dub compilations

so much love for post-punk here, which isn't too surprising but i kind of feel its the most overrated genre? don't see what the big deal is

lo-fi usually shoegazey early 90s indie with krautrock drumming
yearning guitar-based american music that makes you think of gorgeous open spaces
wistful jangle-pop

This was difficult to narrow down.

what's my favorite artist? I sure as hell can't decide.

I guess you get the full package. I wanted to write reggae + disco + funk + punk + rap but post-punk at its best combines elements of all of them.

Power Pop
Funk
Plunderphonics

ok that came off a little sour, let me try:

+ moon-eyed, apollonian crooning*
+ running-through-moonlit-woods-caked-in-excrement jams
+ blank-faced party music

Progressive rock
Folk rock
Free jazz

James Chance? For some reason NYC No wave comes to mind when I think about experimental jazzy post punk. Blurt also.

I ignored this thread bcs it looked lame but it is actually fun. it is also lame but in a good way

rock opera
broadway soundtracks
Christian metal

Sabbath Assembly

goth
reggae/dub
yacht rock

Junior Boys I guess?

- Minimal synthkraut
- The NWW list
- Lame indiefuxx0r shit

feel like this is probably one of those super early Flying Nun bands I've never actually listened to

me =

80s hardcore
70s proto-metal
Jeff Millsian hard techno

jeff mills should do a covers album of classic sst tracks and call it mills & boon

Dub
Shoegaze
Italo

Can anyone think of an artist(s) that combines these 3?

skrillex

haha, no. I think at least Dub and Shoegaze should be very compatible. I'm surprised nobody has had a go at it (that I know).

slowdive did, so did seefeel

boo radleys too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mf1ckzFAsR8

maybe ar kane are a good fit for all three, especially on "i"

Gotta listen to AR Kane then. I've only heard one or two tracks.

can't think where they combine all three all at once on the same song but these are good examples of each individually...

dub ar kane = baby milk snatcher
shoegaze ar kane = lolita
italo ar kane = love from outer space

I can see why clouds loves funeral doom so much now

haha, i do like plenty of funeral doom a lot but didn't realize that was the image i had!

i love this

1. Classical
2. Music made by women and/or queers
3. Avant-anything

Julia Holter

Yes, though to my ears she only applies to 2.

xp - Charming Hostess

✓

no wave
glam rock
torch songs (mix of show tunes/blues/country)

haha, no. I think at least Dub and Shoegaze should be very compatible. I'm surprised nobody has had a go at it (that I know).

Hello let me please introduce you to Lazarus (in fact half of Giant Steps) by the Boo Radleys.

jazz (hard bop thru jazz-rock eras)
funky r&b
drug-inspired rock

(been mostly ignoring the latter two in favour of *The Classics* so far this year)

beatlesque pop
early 20th century classical
zeuhl

no recs for me :( I guess this is why I make my own music!

balearic
normcore
music sung by nuns

@ Dom lol immediately what I thought of when I saw your list was "...Les Noces?"

Other than that though it's obvious stuff that you're way into already (Ruins)

If you find more things that combine those three, let me know, though.

"...Les Noces?"

that would definitely have fit! but yeah, when I looked at the list after I made it, I realized that I really do try to make music that combines that stuff. It seems like if your favorite genres are sufficiently not alike, you'd pretty much have to make up a new genre to get something that combines them.

Well, Beatlesque pop + early 20th century music could = a lot of prog, right? So I guess it's a question of how specifically Zeuhl-ish the prog should be?

well, it's not really a lot of prog other than Magma and offshoot bands these days. Like, Yes is a good example of a prog band with Beatles influence...and years ago, I did listen to a lot of Yes, but not so much now. I guess what I'm thinking would be some weird combination of Harry Nilsson, Ravel and Magma. Which, if it existed, would probably cause a black hole to happen and swallow me.

I've been thinking and I'm not sure I could actually pick three genres unless it was something like:

music with an intricate combination of independent melodic or rhythmic lines
music with guitars
music with a rich and varied sonic palette

that sounds like Discipline-era Crimson to me, though I guess you could argue they don't have a hugely varied sonic palette. Same for Steve Reich's pieces with guitars. Meshuggah? Orthrelm?

All stuff I love, yeah. After I typed that, I actually thought "Hm, King Crimson should probably be my favourite band."

Actually, I don't think "rich and varied" exactly gets at what I'm going for there: "detailed sonic palette" is better, I think.

Sergei Prokofiev
Stevie Wonder
Kerri Chandler

junk shop glam
commercial jingles
refrigerator noises

^^^ fav artist: Tom Waits

Os Mutantes

Garbage

The 3 Ms- Mozart, Merle and The Monkees.

i hate tom waits come on

You think that's bad I got Red Hot Chili Peppers

Got? From where?

From here, some joker here thought the 3 music genres which best represented my overall taste led inexorably to the Red Hot Chili Peppers

Unless they were referring to someone else, though as funk was one of my genres I think the vile calumny was aimed at me

Now I see. Looks like it was indeed ^ed at you.
