No, I resisted temptationMise said:I bet half the options are different varieties of metal
Country is the best music for singing along
Generally, I like songs from all genres, though the ones I ticked are my favorites.

Sorry for any I missed, there are only 20 options!
And the difference between the rock is...
Mainstream Rock - think Franz Ferdinand, U2, Oasis etc
Alternative Rock - Think Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Smashign Pumpkins etc
Classic rock - think Led Zepplin, the Doors, Jimi Hendrix etc

Thread renaming suggestion: "What Rock Music Genre do you listen to?"
Just poking fun but pointing out that no one will ever satisfy the whole OT bunch with one of these polls.
I've ticked everything from Punk down to Reggae/Ska/Dub, missing out Country of course

Amen!!! I'm a redneck hick from Wisconsin and I can't stand that crap. I generally listen to Classic Rock, but on occasion I can listen to blues and reggae.
(hick only because I live in the country and the nearest town has about 700 people. 80% of which are farmers, not me though).
