me...... i would have to choose Hip-Hop, it good boppy music to dance to?

but seriously i would die witout my rock n metal?

[Tied-Up]

Techno

[journey]

I'd go with country, blues and R&B

[Mama Kin]

Without rock, they'd be no music..........


Anyway, I probably wouldn't listen to a thing, but because even comedy CDs I have (Kinison, Hicks) are heavily influenced by rock music as well, so they wouldn't be who they are. I guess I'd listen to the voices in my head.

[Butch Français]

Blues and Rap, already listen to them anyways!

[Genesis]

No Rock?  . Blues I guess...

[Surfrider]

Probably blues or Jazz.

[N.I.B]

REM

seriously, id listen to techno

[Hammy]

Blues the origin of the great music we listen to and an influence for all the greats.

[Jamie]

Blues n Reggae

[Mr. Dick Purple]

If there was no rock or metal, I would invent it   

[Cornell]

Blues n Reggae

Same here...

I would NEVER listen to country even if that was the only choice - I would have to go with voices in my head then too. 

[Rob]

Blues or R&B...damn that would really suck. 

[Timothy]

country, bluesand Jazz

[armstrong]

Punk i guess

What type of music would be listening to if there was no rock/metal?

I don't put these 2 kind of music on the same level. Rock music is a whole culture, it began with Elvis prestley, it comes from the Blues, it's a SINCERE music. Rock music is very strong.
Metal or heavy-metal or whetever you call that is a joke for me. the whole "death - catacombs- blood- vampire" etc... is weird. I can't take this music seriously. I rate the backstreet boys and britney spears a thousand miles ahead than any heavy metal bands. Sure kurt Cobain was wrong about Axl and GN'R, I think it was personal reasons between him and axl, but the guy had totally right when he said how ridiculous was Metal/hair metal bands. he "killed" that sh... and that was an exellent thing.I do think like him: I don't understand this music. When I see Manowar, it's just...well...The Gallagher's brothers say it better than me
Some GN'R fans are mainly Classic- Rock fans (the majority I think, considering GN'R music is very diversified, and that the band was clearly a Rock band), some others are metal fans, some others love them both, personately, i'm among the 1st category. I'm mainly a Rock fan, I listen to absolutely EVERYTHING exept:
- massive hip-hop
- industrial music/gothic and all that silly psycho music
- metal/heavy metal

I don't dislike boys/girls band. I know it's not great music, I know this is a very manufactured music,? but I like some britney spears or backstreet boys or spice girls songs. I'm not ashamed to say it.?

finally among al my "GN'R friends" in life , none of them, absolutely none of them are into metal. as me, and as many GN'R fans, they are maiinly into bands like Queen, Rolling Stones, pearl Jam, the doors, dire Straits, elton John, Bruce springsteen etc... Classic-rock music, from the 50's to the 90's.

That's exactly what all those MTV pricks say. Don't stereotype all of heavy metal based solely off death metal and hair metal, man.

Iron Maiden.

Black Sabbath.

Van Halen.

Motorhead.

Need I continue?

[Walk]

Nesquick is just a troll, don't feed him. I would listen to nothing but classical music if I didn't have rock and heavy metal with me.

[deliverthecow]

Alternative-Country, stuff like The Jayhawks, Golden Smog , and folk music, Neil Young, stuff in that vein.

[Jesse James]

blues jazz n country

[MikeB]

If there was no rock or metal, I would invent it

same here.

[Mattman]

If there were no rock or metal, I'd probably be listening to country.  Lately I've been getting into it as a genre, but I prefer the rawer stuff like Hank Williams or Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash; the slick Nashville acts don't do much for me.  Aside from that, I'm a fiend for classical music (always big on Beethoven and Mozart, but lately I've gotten into Paganini; the guy was the Malmsteem of his time).

[old]

Classical and maybe blues.
Techno and rap are not music.

[Sakib]

Blues and classical music. i respect the talent a lot in classical music wich is y i dont h8 it but im not in 2 it.

country also has a slight rock element in terms of its bluesiness like Brad Paisley

[makane]

Alternative-Country, stuff like The Jayhawks, Golden Smog , and folk music, Neil Young, stuff in that vein.

Neil Young is "rock", it's also blues, country and folk...
there's so thin line between "blues" & "rock".

[Jaded]

pop i guess but not like Britney... more like pop-rock good charlotte etc lol

[Miss-Aussie]

Blues and Rap, already listen to them anyways!

hhmmm.. wat kind of rap do you listen to? i dont really get into allot of that stuff, there are some that i cant stand listening too, like Wutang-clan thier beat is just so dead..

but i have been a rock and roll fan scince i was 12, i did listen to a bit of rap when i was 14, but grew out of it very quickly

[MikeB]

I have taste in other music besides Rock n' Roll/Heavy Metal. I love classical stuff like music themes composed in movies by artists like John Williams and Danny Elfman. Blues is cool , sounds the same though. Some punk is decent. Definetly not rap or techno, way out of my league. I love acoustic stuff and Bob Marley is pretty decent too.

[N.I.B]

Punk i guess

Punk is a form of rock, though

[Mr. Dick Purple]

I've been listening to a lot of Jazz and blues lately so I think I would go that way 

[Miss-Aussie]

i like blues, it is good for the soul, but i cant say i actually listen to it, ocasionally if i hear a cool song on the radio in the car i will crank it but i mostly stick to my bands...

Fuck, just imagine if there was no rock and roll, if there was none, i proberbly would not be here today, it has saved me a couple of times, and i would be destroyed without it.

[SLCPUNK]

Techno. Back in the day there used to be a dance club I would hang out in. Right across the street they opened a rock club. I would get stamped at both of them, going back and forth as the night went on. I'd dance for an hour, then go listen to rock, then go back and dance some more. So much fun. I turned my die hard metalhead friend into a techno junkie.

Jazz, I love jazz late at night. Chick Correa, Miles, Herbie Hancock....

Old school Rap: Seems so much better then the crap today.

Somehow you would not have struck me as the techno type. 

I agree on the Jazz though.  Good stuff.

[Shoco]

prob some traditional irish music or christy moore or sumtin

[Mikkamakka]

Blues and some classical and pop. But mostly Tori Amos.

[James_Ramone]
