Top Ten Music Questions to Ask Users of TheTopTens

The Top Ten
1 Old Music or New Music?

As long as it's enjoyable to listen to, when it was made doesn't matter at all. Though a lot of today's pop music is downright awful in my opinion, if you look beyond the Top 40 you'll find that lots of beautiful music has still been coming out in recent years (for example tunes by Wintergatan and Skylab 3 - if I listed every talented musician active today in this comment it would be almost endless! )

Honestly, some newer music can be good, but older music is better. However, I don't like most pop nowadays, it sounds too slow, boring, and I hate the fact that house became mainstream. But modern punk is still good. Older music had more creativity and was more upbeat.

Depends for me. I listen to lots of 60's and 70's music, but I listen to a decent amount of 21st century music. I listen to Marina and the diamonds, a little lorde, and Demi Lovato. But, I listen to Aerosmith, The Beatles, Queen, and The Rolling Stones. I think old music is WAY BETTER, because of what's on the radio nowadays.

Honestly, most of the music I listen to is from the '50s, '60s, and '80s. But I also really like 2000's music because because of the way it sounds. (If that makes sense.) However, almost every song written after, I'd say...2012, isn't very good. There are a few, but not many.

2 2000s or 2010s?

2000's had a lot more better music, and the high peak of Blink-182 and Angels And Airwaves, as well as Green Day. At least rock was still recognized in these times, all we get nowadays is bad rap songs.

Mainstream-wise, 2000s. Early 2010s mainstream was good, but I didn't really like the majority of mainstream songs released after 2016.

2000s. It was the height of the emo trinity. 2006 had Panic at the disco's I write SIns not Tradgedies, and My chemcial romance's black parade

Depends. For pop it's 2010s and for rap it's 2000s. It's a tie.

3 Rock or Metal?

I enjoy both, but honestly I prefer something in the middle. Like hard rock or heavy alternative rock. I guess if I was forced to pick between the two it would be rock.

Metal is that tiny division of rock, which spans too many subgenres to be classed as one. I'd go for classic rock.

I think I like rock better than metal. I do not know, but I just think rock appeals to me more than metal.

Metal, I has more potential and just cooler with the bands, I have a list with why metal is better.

4 Michael Jackson or Elvis Presley?

Elvis. Michael Jackson was talented, but a creep behind the scenes. Elvis lived a short but relatively clean life. Michael Jackson also started looking creepy in the 2000s.

I know there're a lot of Michael Jackson fans on TheTopTens, but I'd go with Elvis. I like Jackson, but Elvis is the king and will always be. He's just outstanding.

Michael Jackson definitely with his songs like you rock my world, beat it, thriller, smooth criminal are amazing songs

Honestly, I hate this question so much because I absolutely love both of them. But I'd have to go with Michael Jackson.

5 Classical or Jazz?

Classical. Classical music makes me relaxed and makes me think. It's really good music to listen to when you need to calm down or think about things

Probably classical, since I play Cello. But it wins by a inch. I love Jazz too, it reminds me of Back to the Future!

Before, I would say jazz because I was kinda sick of always hearing classical music.
Now, I would say classical. I's more melodic

Classical wins it. Who can beat people like Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach. They are undefeated.

6 Deadmau5 or Skrillex?

Why you people are thumbs downing my comment! Wheres the talent people! All they do is mess with computers and other electronic crap!

Skrillex but only cause I haven't listen to Deadmau5. I don't really listen to techno.Mainly cause it really only uses computers and stuff like that,which sound like if your tech saavy you can easliy make a songs.

Deadmau5 is, always was and will always be 1 000 000 000 000 000 000 times better than Skrillex for many reasons and in many ways

I don't like electronic computers but deadmau5 has some good songs
SKRILLEX IS JUST DUBSTEP BULL!
HE RUINED KORN PATH OF TOTALITY!

7 Metal or Electronic?

Hard one.

I've recently started listening to Metal and I love it. Although I would choose Electronic music because I listened to it for a long, long time and I love way too many songs in that genre.

For me, it's both. Electronic music is great to hear in video games where it works. Also there are bands I like that combine electronics and metal and it works well. Bands like Illidiance, Crossbreed, and Sybreed for example.

Metal even thought I'm not a huge fan of the genre I would rather listen to that then Electronic.

8 5 Seconds of Summer or One Direction?

5SOS now I hate Shes Kinda Hot but Looks So Perfect is great and meanwhile I hate 1D except Drag Me Down and Zayn's new music is bad so I want 1D back.

I don't like either but I guess 5Sos despite how much I dislike that band at least they aren't as bad as One Direction.

5 Seconds of Summer, even though I don't like either.

My friend like 5sos so ill just choose that.

9 Pink Floyd or Eagles?

I change my mind, Pink Floyd is outstanding. They blew my mind after I listened to The Trial. Here's a story now! I watched a video called, "Top 10 Greatest Rock Bands of All Time" and Pink Floyd was number four while Queen was number three. I never really listened to Pink Floyd at the time. Then I scrolled to the comments, and one guy said, "If you switched four and three around, I'd be satisfied. Otherwise, good list! " Being the butthurt jerk I was back then, I DESPISED Pink Floyd. Calling them and their fans, "Overrated" and "Picky". I then listened to more and more of their music and began to appreciate their fans. Now, they are easily one of my favorite bands of all time. Rock on Pink Floyd, rock on.

In my humble opinion, too close to call. Diverse but brilliant artists who I love but my preference varies with mood, setting, etc

Pink Floyd win easily. Although I like The Eagles as well.

Depends on where you are. In the UK, Pink Floyd wins, but in the USA, the Eagles are ahead by a mile.

10 The Beatles or Led Zeppelin?

I hate them both, but The Beatles are better, because Led Zeppelin wrote Stairway to Heaven, the WORST Song ever, and also the most overrated.

Led Zeppelin wins in my opinion. John Bonham's drumming is unmatchable, and Robert Plant's vocals are just so jazzy it's outstanding.

The Beatles. For some reason, I'm not as into Led Zeppelin as everybody else seems to be. But, The Beatles will ALWAYS be #1 in my book

The Beatles. I don't know why, but I don't like Led Zeppelin as much as other bands. But they are still great.

The Contenders
11 Queen or Journey?

Queen. No questions asked. I like Journey, but I ADORE Queen. Queen is my favorite band EVER. Bohemian Rhapsody is my favorite Queen song. Long live the legendary Queen!

Queen because they have some of the most Iconic songs. Journeys good but the only iconic song I can think of is "Don't Stop Believing."

This is actually hard for me. I like queen and journey both, but queen has made more definitive songs, so I'm gonna say them.

Journey. All people seem to remember about Queen is Freddie Mercury. I also like more songs by Journey than Queen.

12 Linkin Park or Green Day?

Green Day for the win! I honestly never really heard a Linkin Park song so I have to go with Green Day. I love Basket Case and Bang Bang. I am new to Green Day, but so far, this is the best band I have heard.

I can't chose. They are both amazing in their own and they both make great music. Billie Joe Armstrong and Chester Bennington are amazing singers

Green Day by far cause I enjoy their music more and I find their music to have more value then Linkin Park just my opinion.

Other than American idiot, Linkin Park wins not because I'm a fan of them I just think they have the better songs.

13 *NSYNC or Backstreet Boys?
14 6IX9INE or Cardi B?
15 Auto-Tune or Real Vocals?

Auto-Tune. At least the people have enough sense to cover their voice when they know it's bad. Every single time I listen to real vocals it sounds like they need a glass of water. BADLY.

Real vocals. I'm fine with mild autotune at most, but when the autotune gets overused, it really suppresses the singer's talent.

Hey if their voice is horrible I'm gonna listen to auto tune not terrible real vocals which could be bad

16 AC/DC or KISS?
17 2000s Teen Pop or 2010s Teen Pop?

Both of them. I love them so much! Boy bands for life!

2010 cause I like 2013 the best

18 90s or 2000s?

I like both decades, but I'm gonna have to go with the 2000s because a lot of my favourite bands were big in that decade

2000s The bands were more memorable and sounded better in comparsion.

90's, hands down

19 80's Metallica or Post-80's Metallica?

This is very hard, but it just has to be both.

May sound funny. But 90s Metallica.

20 Halsey or Melanie Martinez?

Halsey is the best singer ever. Did you ever realize that Melanie Martinez's songs...all sound the same? Also, everyone is judging my favorite person in the world on ONE song that she was FEATURED in. Listen to Control, Colors, Not Afraid Anymore, Haunting, Coming Down, Bad At Love, and Sorry. Then come back and say that Melanie is better. Without lying.

Melanie. Halsey's song CLoser is just pitiful, while MM has songs about plastic surgery, being crazy, and kidnapping.

Melanie Martinez is way better.

Melanie Martinez for the win!

21 Bon Jovi or Justin Bieber?

Bon Jovi. When Jon was Justin Bieber's age, he had way more girls fawning over him. Jon Bon Jovi also scolded Justin Bieber for being a jerk to his fans. And between the band and Jon, they had 16 hits by 1990, and once 2000 came around, they had 29 hits. Justin Bieber just isn't a loyal guy to his fans, and he has two extremes- pretty boy and absolute jerk- Bon Jovi, whether you're referring to the band or Jon, actually care about their fans. Jon also feeds the homeless.

Bon Jovi. They have fans. Actual fans, and real music at the least. I don't even know if Justin Bieber has any of these two. But Bon Jovi has a lot of advantages over Justin Bieber. Not to mention that Justin is talentless.

Justin Bieber is the coolest singer.what do you think about him? His voice is as like John Lennon.He plays better guitar than Jimmy Page.Plays better bass than geddy lee.Beats better drum than neil peart.Plays better keyboard than John Lord

Bon Jovi. I don't know their music but they are a respectable rock band that my friend likes.

22 Taylor Swift or Katy Perry?

Katy Perry, I do not listen to her as much as I used to, but her pop punk songs are awesome, I like how they sound kind of rock. On the other hand, I kind of hate Taylor after the fight between her and Katy. Also, her songs do not really appeal to me, I like fast paced and loud music, not quiet and peaceful music. But I respect the opinions of those who like Taylor though.

Which one hasn't locked lips with another girl? I'm not crazy for Taylor, but granted the alternative is Katy Perry, who seems to have extracted that demon from Miley Cyrus and it now posses her.

Taylor Swift. She makes awesome lyrics despite of Reputation. Katy Perry is okay though but she got worser way back 2017.

23 Chainsmokers or Flume?

Chainsmokers

24 Black Sabbath or Deep Purple?
25 Alessia Cara or Daya?
