Music Genre Breakdown

[Jett Rink]

...

[frogmeat69]

METAL - all that matters
everything else- not really
( joking a bit, but I do love metal )

[bootsy]

Mostly hip-hop and R&B. After that I have a mixture of rock, jazz, electronic, synth-pop, new wave, reggae, alt/indie rock. Pretty much everything except country.

[callas01]

I'd say 80% of what I listen to is alternative/indie rock

After that I listen to a mix of classic rock, classical, jazz, blues, pop, hip-hop; just about anything else really.

[bandit29]

80% Metal. The rest is current hard and classic rock. That's it.

[VictoryAtNight]

This is a rough estimate of my CD collection by genre.

- 45% Alternative
- 45% Techno/Dance
- 9.9% Pop/Rock
- 0.1% Rap

I've been buying more pop music of late.

rock, hard rock & metal is what my collection is made of

[Cat III]

I don't know how to determine the percentages (without taking the time to do some math) so I'll just list the info I can quickly access.

Death Metal* - 230 hours, 200+ albums, 2000+ songs
R & B** - 36 hours, 40+ albums, 570+ songs
Punk - 30 hours, 40+ albums, 500+ songs
Heavy Metal - 30 hours, 40+ albums, 360+ songs
Hardcore Punk - 29 hours, 50+ albums, 740+ songs
Country - 24 hours, 30+ albums, 460+ songs
Hip Hop - 21 hours, 25+ albums, 380+ songs
Thrash Metal - 21 hours, 20+ albums, 260+ songs

Disclaimer: There are others, but they're all under twenty hours. These numbers change all the time. Can't promise that all songs are correctly categorized.

*This includes many subgenres others may choose to separate such as death, black, grind, sludge, etc. which may partly explain why its so overrepresented.
**This is also composed of many similar genres such as r&b, souls, blues, funk, etc.

[Johnny Vinyl]

Most of my collection is "rock" dating from the mid-60s and onward. Jazz, Blues, R&B and Folk are probably evenly split. A small percentage only is classical with about 100 albums.


I listen to a lot of Progressive Rock, Acoustic music covering any genre, and solo male/female singer/songwriters.

[Maggot]

85% equal parts of classic pop, rock and soul/R&B from the 70's and 80's
15% country

[Captain Flint]

100% Metal/Rock

I respect other genres but nothing makes me feel the way metal and rock does.

[The Great Owl]

I've got roughly 1,000 CDs.

I'd venture to guess that about 75% of my CD collection consists of punk, post-punk, synth-pop, metal, and alternative music that was released between 1976 and 1990.
