I am curious!
Reading a quiz compiled by Norman, I was amazed that one of my close friends in Virily, a woman, about the same age as me, loved Metalica! It made me so curious about the music tastes of all my friends in Virily (of course also related to gender and age).
So, I want to know the taste of music from you all, my friends. You may choose more than one.

Several of the genres were new to me, and in an expanded version I would include the Latin Bachata & Merengue , two of my favorites 🙂 Great Qui,zz Albert 🙂
You’re right, Paul! Latin, it’s a genre that I forgot to include it on the options list! By the way, the music of your choice is unique, I have never heard of Merengue… Well, Paul, thanks for the input and also for taking part.
Merengue is a musical genre popular in Puerto Rico and The Dominican Republic. I’m not sure if the videos are accessible via You-Tube in your country but if you are able to access them I would highly recommend listening to these artists: Las Chicas Del Can & Myriam Cruz (Dominican Republic) , Olga Tanon & Zona Rosa (Puerto Rico)
That must be very interesting, Paul. I will look for it immediately. Thank you for your reference.
In placing my thoughts on music Im not familiar on all the genres. I listen to mainly classical music, I like the music of any melodious musical artist. A lot depends on the delivery of the music itself.
Good musical taste, Pamela. Thank you for taking part in this poll.
I like pop and also classical
Good taste in music, Jappy. Thank you for taking part in this poll, my friend
I’d never heard of Dangdut music either, so thanks for the explanation. My musical taste is quite varied. I like listening to a lot of music from the 50’s and 60’s, and also Country and Religious music too. I enjoyed your poll, it was fun to do. =)
The mention of the name “dangdut” is an onomatope of the sound of tabla (in a dangdut world called a drum only). Dangdut is a mixture of Malay kinds of music, the rhythm of the desert (Arabian), and Indian or Malay musical forms influenced by Indian songs. Your music tastes are interesting, CoffeeQueen. There must be so many powerful memories that tie the music to your taste. Thanks a lot for your participation in this poll.
It mostly depends on my mood and the song itself. I’ve never heard of Dangdut though.
In general, we listen to music depending on mood and time. You are second only to Norman asking about Dangdut. I am glad to hear it. I myself do not love it, but also curious about how far its cruising range. Dangdut is a typical Indonesian music (but not traditional music) and quite spread in Asia, especially Southeast Asia. Huge thanks for your participation, Ellie.
Thank you for the explanation! I always love learning about different cultures and their music, movies, literature, lifestyle, etc. I just checked Dangdut on youtube and it reminds me a little of the songs in some older Indian movies. However, other songs sounded really modern, so I’m not sure if I listened to the correct things!
The development of dangdut music is very remarkable, Ellie. From the very simple and whiny, to the very rich in the arrangement. At the beginning of development dangdut music is influenced by Indian music, now even all types of music has been drawn into it, and dangdut musicians are even able to change all types of songs into dangdut version.
Very interesting, thank you for this information! That’s why I like this site, there’s always something new to learn.
You’re right, Ellie. We always find new things here. Thank you for your appreciation, once again.
Never heard of Dangdut, Albert. It sounds like it might be Korean? Very nice poll. I clicked ‘yes’ to Others because I really like Irish traditional music 🙂
Hahaha… Dangdut is a typical Indonesian music and currently quite spread in Asia, especially Southeast Asia. I deliberately put “others” there to be a preferred post like Irish music you like. I know that there are so many types of music, like Indian, Japanese, Chinese and other music that is typical of a country. For this poll, I try to get it in the global category. About Dangdut, I deliberately threw it in order to rise up question, as you asked above… Hehe… Thank you for taking part in this poll, Norman
I’m an avid fan of alternative rock, punk rock, a little bit of pop music and some reggae…u have missed funk, ska, and new wave…But all in all, u got a nice poll…Congrats! Your poll post is TRENDING NOW…Good job Albert 🙂
Yes, you are right. I did not include that type of music, firstly, funk I think there are already its representatives: jazz, blues and R & B. New Wave is at number 9. Ska that I consider to be a reggae precursor mixed with jazz and R & B, I consider to be represented. But if you do not think so, I respect your opinion. Secondly, I am afraid this poll will be too long, considering the initial format is not “Yes or No” but click on favorite option (unfortunately always fail/messy after submission). One important thing, thank you for taking part in this poll, my friend.
Very much welcome…After all u did a great job…I’ll keep posted for more…Two thumbs up!
Two thumbs up for your appreciation as well!
I listen to music when I’m in a mood. There were unknown styles for me in the poll.
Wow! Unknown styles are very interesting, Elenka! Hey, how are you, my dear friend?
Thanks a lot for your participation in this poll.
Wonderful. The vacation was very nice
Ahhh… I’m so glad to hear that. So now you are back from your home country, right?
That’s right. And from 01.12 we start work. I can not be in line every day.
Owh.. I see… I think that’s ok, we should put first things first, right?
Oh waoo Once Again Nice Poll Albert. I like all Genre But Also Like Pop and Rock Music.
Hmmm… it is good to know your kind taste in music, Hamza. Thank you for taking part in this poll
I like soft rock music the best, but I like other types as well.
As long as there is “rock” there, I definitely like it. We have one more thing in common, LaJenna. Hehe… Thanks a lot for taking part
I was very into all music. Now I prefer Natures’ warbles, breezes and symphonic compositions of silent snows.
All kinds of music are very interesting, Brother! Pure orchestra!
Interesting, I have not heard of some of these but I like a lot of different genres,
depends on my mood. 🙂
Right, Carol. Listening to music is dependent on the mood. But for me, my mood generally determines what song I want to hear from hard rock, heavy metal, trash or new age… others are very rare… hehe…
I go from one extreme to another. To remember good days fro Dustin, Metallica. If I need meditation and quiet time, I like Chris Botti and his jazz trumpet.
Of course, for meditation we need soft music, I usually listen to new age or binaural, if just want soft music, I hear Yanni, Vanessa-Mae or some other instrumental music.
(Something strange, I can not immediately reply to comments from post that opened via notification, is there any change? Three times I write this reply and always failed to send)
I have had the same problem in other posts, not sure what’s going on.
Thank you for your information, Carol. But I think it’s over on my side. It is already back to normal
