Listen to this hip hop at www.phantastic.me

 

I bet you'll like it no matter what kind of music you normally listen to!

 

It's neo conscious, not gangster rap that you might associate with hip hop/rap. Think Lupe Fiasco vs Jay-Z.

Love to hear some blues, jazz or classic.. but good rock is what I go for most of the time and whatever my mood is... There are songs and bands for any mood, time, occasion for me :)

I'm like you except the opposite. Classical is my go to genre with every type of mood and feeling. Most of my rock is sad to me.

A lot of Red Hot Chili Peppers and other random songs here and there. My rock collection is not very big.

Lot of rock stuff might sound sad, but not all, really. Guano Apes (not a very famous band, but the singer is really great) have some powerfull songs. "No Me Moleste Mosquito" by the Doors always sounded funny to me, it was a song we used to listen with some other mates in College.

"Born To Be Wild" gives me a big smile and a furious envy to get on my bike and go anywhere the road can take me. "Foxy Lady" feels cool too. And "Corpus Christi Carol" (Jeff Buckley) is so emotional, with his incredible voice.

So yeah, it might sound sad for most of the "rock" song, or at least angry or furious. But I found my way in there, I'm like at home in a way :) ANd I didn't talked about some french band, but I know 2 or 3 of them which have really funny songs, which feels really good to hear :)

 

Unfortunately, I don't know much in classical music. Just listen to some stuff I've got from my parents or that I gathered here and there.

I highly recommend Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade. Ever since I got it, it's been at the top of my listening list. Such a brilliant composition.

New age hands down. Movie/game/anime soundtracks/scores come close after.

Hopefully one day you will discover the experience of classical music. It is much more than catchy melodies.
