For me. If I can pick only one, I'll pick punk. But that would be unfair to all the other stuff I like. Imagine a word without Black Sabbath, without swing
, without classical
, without The Prodigy
, without psychedelia.....
1) Black Sabbath? If we choose to consider Sabbath rock instead of metal, there are a sufficient number of directly inspired Doom Metal bands like Reverend Bizarre to meet the bill.
2) Swing? A bit harder to find, but I'm sure some of the prog stuff could fulfill requirements. Stuff like the Mars Volta, for example. If it's jazz in a more general sense, then Atheist are also pretty cool.
3) Classical? Fuck, it's full of that. Arrangements of classical pieces, classical rearrangements of metal pieces, crossover... Everything.
4) The Prodigy? Ok, not the band themselves, but industrial metal, techno-crossover, etc is huge.
5) Psychedelia? Oh hell, Meshuggah are a goddamm mindfuck, not to mention Spiral Architect.
Win-win.

That actually sounds interesting, and something I might like. But can you give some examplesDeep Sea Isopod wrote:So, I'm the only person here who likes Popera/operatic rock/Classical crossover?

Generally I like progressive rock, new wave (well it was new at the time), alternative, this sort of thing. Mainstream rock bores the living shit out of me. Give me King Crimson or Jethro Tull, however, and I'm transported to another dimension.
Right now I'm really getting into Arcade Fire.
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.
But those letters are not silent.
They're just waiting their turn.

OK, examples......
The worlds biggest selling Soprano is a crossover artist.
Operatic Rock

Bond are a classical crossover string quartet.
There are more example if you want, but crossover has something for everyone, I do believe. Try searching for stuff on YT.

Re: What is you fave genre?
I really despise that stuff DSI. If you are going to listen to opera/classical listen to it. Not a watered down poppified version to appeal to the masses.

Re: What is you fave genre?
I like jazz. Also American folk music, which is mostly songs that were popular tunes in England and Scotland in the 18th century. Also the modern stuff that's called folk music: Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Judy Collins, like that. Folky singer-song writers, such as Janis Ian, John Prine (who verges into country), Joni Mitchell (who verges into rock, and these days, jazz), and Tom Waits, who was obviously influenced by Bob Dylan, but really isn't folk at all. Definitely Leonard Cohen.
Well, not the most modern modern folk music, which is piss-willy.
I think Judy Collins is performing in Orlando this weekend, but I can't afford to go.
I used to not be able to understand why I couldn't enjoy classical, until I had this revelation: Most classical music, at least that you hear on the radio, is orchestral. When I listen to jazz, I don't like big band. I like trios, quartets, quintets. What made me think I was going to like big band when it was classical? So I went to the book store and listened to little snatches of string quartets by Dvorak. I loved it. I wanted it bad, but it was 65 bucks. What am I, made of money?
