Top Ten Music Genres Which Work Best with Rock
That's why there's a genre of music call Punk Rock because it a great combo!
Yes, this combination exists - it's called heavy metal. Metal music is rock music inspired by classical and not by blues. I guess this is my favorite combination since metal is my favorite genre. Progressive rock is also classically inspired.
Can just picture the Sex Pistols rendition of "Waltz Of The Flowers."
Will be a great combination.
Jazz is a music genre that originated in the African-American communities of New Orleans, United States, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and developed from roots in blues and ragtime. Jazz is seen by many as "America's classical music". Ever listened to King Crimson? You'll see why this genre goes well after listening to the crazy instrumentals in Starless and 21st Century Schizoid Man.
Ooh...V: "Your Mind is on Vacation" stinging lyrics (not a bad song though). I have an idea on who you have in mind, just hope it doesn't apply to me too...
Rock guitar riffs and jazz drumming will work good
I'm ok, V. Just wasn't quite the response I expected (such a wishful thinker) :) I'm happy you like it. I only heard it myself yesterday because my mum mentioned it. Fell in love with the lyrics...
Ha! Therapist. You seem to have life pretty much sussed but you're still welcome to my leather couch (with ottoman) Just shout me if you need...anything ;).
Folk is a good genre. But folk rock is always better!
V, have you heard of British Folk singer, Donovan? Would like you to listen to "Catch The Wind". Beautiful. See what you think :).
Have a gorgeous day :).
Ah, can't win 'em all, V. I'm not a great lover of Folk either (never have been) but that song caught me. Just thought I'd share it. It's not to your taste. It's ok! :)
Anyway... :).
Time was, T, "pop" included stuff like "Chain of Fools," "Mustang Sally," "Take Me For A Little While," "Dock Of The Bay," "Sunshine Of Your Love," "Want To Take You Higher," "Snowbird" (so pretty), "Without You"... What the hell happened?!
Hey, when's the last time you listened to "I Put A Spell On You" (Arthur Brown)?
Blues is a music genre and musical form originated by African Americans in the Deep South of the United States around the end of the 19th century. @Britgirl, yes. Led Zeppelin is a very blues band. Jimmy Page, their guitarist, was originally a blues guitarist. he played hard rock with mixture of blues rock
Blues and rock work perfect! and there's a genre called blues-rock, which have some great musical artists. for example- Cream, Led zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan etc etc.
I'm confounding? It's my hobby. I'm pretty good at it, yes? ;)
Wow! Quite a contrast between those two songs haha. I loved! Any other day, I would have chosen"It's My Own Fault" (love that mellow blues sound - or "slow, throbbing" as you so eloquently put it :) but "Back In The USA" was great. I needed a lift and it worked!
Quite apt for the elections, wot? If we don't talk tomorrow, I know it's because you're helping to build a certain wall... :P
Linkin Park is a band that raps, but it is not lame rap like Drake and Lil Wayne. Linkin Park actually is a good band.
Alone, rap sucks, but with rock music, it's actually pretty good. May I remind you that linkin park raps
@visitor - agreed! But regardless of what we think (and a few others) rap is *ahem* a popular genre. Made slightly less bad with rock.
A satisfactory compromise, yes? :).
Ah, V: I hope I didn't offend you by asking that. I didn't mean "do you suggest any old random song" I asked because the lyrics to a few of them seem so personal... (a certain Elmore James and a Little Walter song in particular) Do you know what I mean?
Sorry if I offended you or completely misread the situation. It's not your fault I overthink things sometimes.:).
Was a different life, T. Different person, long time ago. playing' the bars, fergettin' who you are, or who you're s'posed to be. "Whippin' Post" is killer, right? Always wanted Gregg Allman's voice. But he's a tenor, so... "One Way Out" is actually an Elmore James cover. Might wanna give the original a shake. Not the same power and energy, but still...:).
Two words: The Band.
Yah...poor Hank, not too much my mum hasn't told me about him. He just really needed a big cuddle :)
Aw..."Out Of The Blue"...what lovely, soft, melancholy song to lay my head down to. Beautiful :')
Was just wondering about the bushwhacker thing...but for once I won't let my curiosi-T get the better of me - some things are best left unanswered :).
RE Avantasia - they are a very diverse band with different types of songs and not all of them are metal: some are rock/hard rock. And yes - they have some poppy songs: for this reason Avantasia are liked by non-metal fans. But the songs you checked out aren't the ones I had in mind (these aren't even among my favorite by Avantasia).
Yes, it's called rock opera (ex. Jesus Christ Superstar by Andrew Lloyd Webber). Currently a good rock opera band is Trans-Siberian Orchestra and a good metal opera band is Avantasia.
I'd gladly give you my Cajun rock opera tickets to see your lucky armadillo boots!
A Cajun rock opera. I'd give my lucky armadillo boots to see that.
"Calming? " See, now, I find it rousing and a mite goosebumpy. Born a bit too far north to be an o-ffficial rebel. But mah heart absitively belongs in Dixie. Ya know, the song does elicit
warm feelings for an idealized sense of community, shared suffering, blah, blah... But in the real world of human nature, embracing such idealized visions inevitably leads to the dehumanization and misery of such "big ideas" as communism. Gotta take care which dreams overtake you. They are, after all, only dreams... as are nightmares. So endeth the sermon.:).
Melanie Safka, T., "Candles In The Rain." Little hippie-dippy come-by-ya for this ol' rebel, but gotta admit it's gorgeous.
Nice. Very very nice. Very hypnotic, happy and calming "Candles in the Rain" I like! So this is how the ol' rebel winds down, eh? Rebel? Are you sure...? ;).
Mornin,T-Cup: Etta James, "God's Song." Have a sparkling, effervescent day (or at least don't stub a toe;)).
Alternative rock is a style of rock music that emerged from the independent music underground of the 1980s and became widely popular in the 1990s. In this instance, the word "alternative" refers to the genre's distinction from mainstream rock music.
Heavy Metal music is a sub-genre of rock music that originated in the late 1960s-70s, featuring more distorted and heavier instrumental work and darker lyrical themes. Heavy Metal broke into mainstream success with bands such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Metallica.Other notable Heavy Metal bands include Judas Priest, Anthrax, Testament, System of a Down, Megadeth, Slayer, Pantera, Avenged... read more
I don't understand this item - Heavy Metal is already rock and it's a rock subgenre: I don't see how metal could be combined with rock more than it is. Metal is rock.
Yes, rock and heavy metal will be a great combination. but heavy metal songs sometimes contain a lot of rock music elements. I mean, heavy metal and rock is pretty close. heavy metal is a sub-genre of rock (many say). but anyway, if its like that a song has some heavy metal elements, and some rock elements. then it could be like prog metal. then it'll sound very amazing
With rare exception, metal is noise.
