Let's think this through this logically.

Rap artist talent (on scale of 1-10): 1-3 (at highest, using drum machines and hot girls to sell your music ISN"T TALENT!!!!)

Modern Rock Talent: 2-6 (Guitarists these days just don't match the old ones)

Classic Rock: 3-7

Rock 'n' Roll: 5-8

Metal: 5-8

Thrash Metal: 2-6

In otherwords, Rap takes no talent what so ever. What happened to the days of Maiden, the Crue, Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Hendrix. Dead, I suppose.

I like R & B and Christian! Casting Crowns is the best..
What if the armies of the Lord
Picked up and dusted off their swords
Vowed to set the captives free
And not let satan have one more

What if the church, for heaven's sake
Finally stepped up to the plate
Took a stand upon God's promise
And stormed hell's rusty gates

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And THOSE who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed
For those raised up to lead the way
Then maybe kids in school could pray
And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue
Came from a hunger for the truth
What if the family turned to Jesus
Stopped asking Oprah what to do

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And THOSE who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way

He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray

If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray
If My people called by My name
If they'll humble themselves and pray

Chorus:
What if His people prayed
And THOSE who bare His name
Would humbly seek His face
And Turn from their own way
He said that they would hear
His promise has been made
He'll answer loud and clear
If only we would pray

What if His people prayed

If My people called by My name..........

Country is ok too..((the romancy kinda..like rascal flatts "Bless the Broken Road" and lonestar, "Amazed" stuff like that))

rap is not music, I can talk fast too, its called spanish. HOWEVER no matter how bad rap is Christian Rock is worse. Jesus and an electric guitar were not meant to mix.
so, overall
Rap is terrible
rock is awesome
Metallica is the best
and chritian rock gets nuked.

agreed?

Classic rock and country rock are my favorites. Rap and punk rock is just total crap to me.

Genres I love:
I like punk rock because it challenges everything that is wrong in this world. I agree with most of it to some extent, but I guess I'm not as radical.
I like goth because its a whole lifestyle centered around music. The thing that bugs me though is them saying its a non conformist statement, it actually isn't since you are conforming to that group, but besides that it interests me that it brings out how really dark the human nature is.
I like alternative because it defies the norm, and it is more artistic, other than following what a record company wants.

Despite these points I listen to this music because it sounds really good in my own opinion.

Genres I hate personally:
Country-Everything about it seems to reak false patriotism. It really sucks, and your booed if you happen to not agree with everything authority says.
Metal-Too many people think they are so hardcore or different because they listen to metal. It bores me completely, and really has no point. Too many sweaty masculine frat boys in that group for me to love it. Whatever floats your boat though.
Rap-I like some of it. It is really creative if you think about it, but its going to hell with the overuse of bitches and hos. I think if some rapper comes along with a real good message now I would be happy.

I know some people like this, and I'm not saying you can't, but personally you won't find my listening to Toby Keith. Sorry.

I like emo alot more now too. My friends kinda got me into metal a little bit, I mean I like slipknot and Mudvayne, but just recently i got the TBS cd, loved it, so i downloaded some other songs by them. Then, all of a sudden I got the emo craze and thats all i listen to, bands like Senses Fail and Thursday, I also like Funeral for a Friend and Hawthorne Heights. Emo kicks raps ass as far as I'm concerned. Some rap is okay, I like eminem, he actually has some compelling lyrics. Dr. Dre isn't bad and Sneep Dogg is pretty cool, but all the rappers these days are cookie-cutter, all the exact same. Sound the sam, look the same. And the rock genre is becoming to large to say that that is my favourite.
