I Listen to Wu tang clan, Iron maiden, Eminem, The Beatles & Kate Bush..... Am I musically diverse?

Question

those are obviously just a few Artists I like, Would you call me diverse in my musical tastes? or is it pretty common to find you like such differing music?

My MP3 player is pretty mixed up to say the least!

Answer 1

yeah mate no doubt,that's what i call diversified taste,I'm like that mate i listen to Tupac and go all the way down to the Bee Gee's or even frank Sinatra.I Call that music appreciation when you apreciate good music it doesn't matter what type it is.Good music is good music,ever listed to a song in another language and still nod that its a good track even when you don't understand what they are saying,its like that mate.

Answer 2

Maybe your just a 'singles' type of person--you know, preferring individual songs over albums. There is nothing wrong with that, since I know a lot of people who have a varied taste like you. It just depends on your likes and dislikes. Personally, I enjoy rock, but I also enjoy artists like Bob Marley, Nick Drake, et cetera, even though they are considered to be a completely different genre. People who have varied tastes of music tend to know every song on the radio, which I find pretty cool.

Answer 3

I would say that you have a diverse taste in music. You would find it very boring if you only liked one kind of music, you would be depriving yourself of a load of good music from the last 50 years. So carry on enjoying the music that you like.

Answer 4

my fave bands are eminem,50cent, game, mettailca, iron maidan, Beatles, guns n roses, Christina agulera, p diddy, queen, some pop lol, the kinks, the stones, verve, oasis, and some classical music to name a few you should see my mp3 player it is chocka block with all sorts.

You sound diverse and I like most of your music tastes they are cool diversity is cool in encourages individuality.

I don t think there is a genre of music I could say i totally dislike maybe drum and base but i can tolerate that (just about)

Answer 5

I used to listen to all sorts of music including Kate Bush (like you) and even Prince (!). I just plain got bored of it. These days I listen to Nu Wave, Screamo/emo and Metal (some of it thrash flavoured :) ). I think people should just listen to what they want to listen to. It makes no difference. Can you imagine the stick I used to get being 12 yrs old and listening to Prince when all my mates were getting into dance or rock? But I carried on listening because I enjoyed it. That's how it should be.

Answer 6

Throw in a bit of Stravinsky and Val Doonican and I`d give you 10 out of 10 for diversity in musical taste.

Answer 7

Tonight I was listening to John Lee Hooker, Sugababes, Nelly Furtado, Elvis and a bit of Israeli psych trance. Oh, and a podcast from Radio 4. I would go mad listening to the same kind of stuff for hours. Diversity is good.

Answer 8

Only if you also toss in Prokofiev, the organ at Wanamaker's General Court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Philip Glass. Just to be on the safe side, you might also add Twisted Sister.

Answer 9

yeah that would definitely make you musically diverse. I stick to some mainstream hip-hop and a lot of underground Hip-hop, Love R&B new and all the oldies, try and find some Heatwave, Manhattans, Smokie Robinson ect...

Answer 10

Who says you have to only like one sort of music. I love all sorts including the ones you have stated, along with dance trance, rock, and classical.

I think that most people if they were truthful listen to all genre dependant on their mood.
