Is your heart more with rock or electronic music? I'd have to say, recently, I've come to the conclusion I'm more of a rocker at heart... not so much TODAY'S rock, although there's some good stuff out. But the music I enjoy listening to most is classic rock from the '60s and '70s, early 80's... Pink Floyd, Doors, Stones, The Who, Kinks, Clash, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Hendrix, Beach Boys, CCR, Cream, Velvet Underground, Dylan, Zappa, Smiths, stuff like that. Of course it's been all downhill since then, but I like other more modern guitar based stuff... Radiohead, Travis and Coldplay (heh), Sigur Ros, Metallica, System of a Down, Sloan, Tool, etc etc etc. All the popular rock bands now are WAY too formulaic. I guess I'm more of a rocker... though I like modern ELECTRONIC better than modern ROCK... but my favorite music was made decades ago. Listening to crazy 60's art rock was the most exciting phase for me, and it's my favorite style. It gets old, but it never gets OLD, unlike so much 80's stuff. Eh, best of both worlds, I'm obsessed with both, that can't be a bad thing. |

Good topic.As U probably know,i was heavily into the Beatles,60's thing.At the time (early 90's),i also got into the 'shoegazing' era(i.e. My Bloody Valentine,Ride...who both still f.rock ,,by the way etc).I feel electronica IMO is more thoughtful and more mature than these 'plug in ,turn up the amps'type rock groups,but it's good to see that both types can produce the results every so often.Oh yeah,before i forget Ophecks,do you like the solo Beatles stuff ,as well? }:> |

I'd say electrohead, though I don't like the word. More like "Do you prefer rock or electronic music?" But yeah, Eletrohead...Though I love shit System of a Down and Tool, and Korn's first album... |

Me...i like electronic music but have veered recenely into oncoming traffic with the likes off Radiohead, Sigur Ros and Coldplay. Im an Electrolite at heart...and probably always will be. I do like jazz to..avant garde crazy stuff....its cool. |

I said I love shit...but I meant "I love shit like" though that was proly obvious... |

Yeah, electrohead is just some crap name I came up with right quick, you know what I mean though. System of Down is awesome, it gives me an energy that no electronic music can give me... But each style has its own place, and NOTHING is better than SAW2 or BOC is you're kicking back and in a weird mood. Rock usually takes a back seat for me in that case... |

Electronic Music has so much more to offer.........its so much more varied..... |
||||||||

a bit of both for me... but more electronic now... |
||||||||

"technofreak" as my friends call me yeah yeah, techno is the wrong term... but go easy on em... they no not the ways of electronic music. |

eh, fuck rock it seems the only 'rock' thats going anywhere these days uses electronic equipment and influences.. just because something has been around longer and is more popular doesnt make it better, imo |

"it seems the only 'rock' thats going anywhere these days uses electronic equipment and influences.." You know, I thought the exact same thing the other day... and it's true... rock music I think is at the end of the line, and the really good rock bands like Radiohead are bringing in electronic stuff into the mix... I mean, there's only so much you can do with guitars and drums... |

I love guitar and drums, but nobody knows what to DO with it anymore... now, the instruments seem to be the center of attention... who's got the loudest riffs, the heaviest drumming, the most detuned bass... Before, the instruments took back seat to coolness! Like Jim Morrison! They provided a kick ass backdrop for the SONG. |

I definitely like both genres,and this is a hard choice to make,but when I look at my cd-collection,I see a big part of it is by electronic artists,so I guess I'm an Electrohead!! |
||||||||

The past couple years I've definetly become much more of an electrohead, but my soul will always be a rocker baby! |
||||||||

I want more answers. Electrohead's are winning... gah. Then again, rock is dead... I guess I just like living in the past. |

Whoops, bad grammar, now I want to shoot myself. Electroheads, with NO apostrophe. Whoopsy. |

I used to be 100% rocker. Now i'm 25% rock, 75% electronic. |

I started out listening to "classic rock" (zep, floyd, beatles, doors) Then I got into "noisy alternative guitar rock" (dinosaur jr, sonic youth, pixies, my bloody valentine) Then "electronica." Now I'm into ambient and classical mostly. Getting old, I suppose. My favorite phase was the "noisy alternative guitar rock" phase, since there were so many good albums being cranked out and I had many friends in the same scene. |

cool topic! I'll have to say 50% each... it's simpley the truth! |

I am a rocker at heart as well.. I like electronic music very much but I am still a rookie in that field. I have liked rock music for as long as I can remember. |

Oh, and there is definitely a lot of metal around that has no electronic edge to it at all. Not Static-X type metal (which is very electronically motivated and a stretch to even call metal), but death/grind etc.. I hope that made sense |

Electronic music. Jesus, you like the Beach Boys, Ophecks? They are horrid. |
