I generally hate rap and hip-hop music, but also like House of Pain.

I think they must be the rap and hip-hop haters rap and hip-hop artist.

That's possible, yes.

I don't listen to any Rap or Hip Hop apart from four exceptions:
- House of Pain: see above.
- Wax: his lyrics are hilarious and his songs have very often really nice melodies (e.g. She Used To Be Mine or Get It In)
- Bloodhound Gang: because it's part of their musical concept.
- Iggy Azalea: a female white rapper with a black booty.

They are in a small group of rap / dance artists who rock fans love - Prodigy, Cypress Hill and Pendulum are three others.

I don't care for Cypress Hill.

Dance / Drum 'n' Bass is a completely different story, as I love a lot of stuff from that particular area of music; just not rap or hip-hop.

Plus, I wouldn't consider myself a rock fan either (unless you mean the geological kind) ;)

You like plenty of rock bands. Granted they are also classed as industrial but in the end its still rock.

Possibly. I guess it comes down to how you define or classify it. Like with film, I'm not keen on tarring things with the genre brush. The industrial stuff I listen to I feel is quite far removed from what most people consider 'rock'. At least by the majority who like to classify these things.

It's like with metal; there are so many apparent sub-genres, and a lot of them seem almost made up and sound the same to me. I couldn't pinpoint what is generally considered a doom/stoner/grind/black/sludge metal artist. If it's something I like then I'll listen. Simple. Classification just isn't my thing.

I know music fans can often get quite snobby and precious about these sort of things though, and by saying this, I probably already have a metaphorical bullseye on my back. :lol:

Not from me. It won't fit, your back is too covered in film bullseye's due to your dodgy tastes. ;)

Same here.

When it comes to "musical genres", "System Of A Down" are my favourite. Their style's so unique, I really wouldn't want to classify them.

Touche! :lol:

I love the Prodigy, even now, 16 years later they're still the best band I've ever seen live, Maiden came a close second 2 years ago though
