Musically Diverse

Post by Camyroon on Sun 12 Dec 2010, 1:06 am

I'm gonna give some background info first on how i became a fan of Shikari so feel free to skip to the next paragraph. I first heard Shikari when they released TTtS. I ABSOLUTELY HATED THEM. They were against everything I liked musically. I hated bands that screamed and i detested electronic music. I only really stuck to rock and it's sub genres. Maybe a bit of rap here and there but i stuck to rock/rap. I was incredibly musically blind back then Sad
A year later I got into Hadouken!, The Prodigy and Pendulum. I only liked a few songs but it was enough to get me into this side of music. That was one half of the equation done.
Soon I decided to explore different avenues of metal. It took time but eventually my ear became accustomed to heavier music and screaming vocals. So now I had to put the two pieces of music together.
One of my mates, who is a Shikari fan, decided to begin the brain washing process. The first song i liked was surprisingly the Insomnia cover at the Brixton Academy. Next came Labyrinth, The Jester and SYNAW. Eventually I liked about 10 songs so I decided to just get their full discography and within no time I had become a fan.

Now to cut the waffling and get to the point. Since I've become a fan of Shikari I've noticed that I have started listening to 'nearly' every genre of music. In a way I'm proud of how diverse I have become but i obviously don't listen to everything, yet. I still dislike chart music but the charts occasionally spit out a good artist or two.
I'd like to see what your opinion is...! Also, feel free to test my boundaries and even introduce me to a different genre. some sub-genres would be good too Smile (YouTube Links would be grand) If you'd like you could share how you got into Shikari if it was as long winded as me xD

On my iPod the current genre list is:
*Blues - Country, Soul, Reggae, Jazz
*Classical
*Dance, D&B, Dubstep, Electronica, Techno, House, New Rave
*Shikaricore
*Metal - Old School, Nu, Black, Death, Thrash, Metalcore, Power, Pirate
*New Wave
*Pop - Synthpop
*Punk - Hardcore, Post-hardcore, Crunkcore
*R&B - New R&B. Old stuff is good but I don't have any Sad
*Rap - Hip/Hop, Crunk
*Rock - Electronic, Alt, Trock, Indie, Classic, Rap/Rock
