Do you prefer instrumental or sung music? What type, i.e. rock, chorus, jazz, etc. and why?

[ElijahRyne]

I prefer instrumental, the type changes from time to time, but currently I like baroque and jazz.

don't really have a prefrence towards lyrics or instumental but most songs i listen too are with lyrics

I prefer sung music by a small margin. I also enjoy instrumental music enough to listen to music in languages I don't understand.(at that point they are just another instrument.) I enjoy electro swing if done right. My top 3 favorite instruments are the violin, trumpet, and saxophone. I like the violin because if it is played well you can feel it pulling at your soul. The trumpet has tons of diversity. It can be a regal or a hardworking everybody type. The saxophone is just so alluring. So I've always liked jazz and swing, and the creative music you can achieve with electronic sound effects.

50-50. If it's an instrumental song, I like the sound of the flute the most. I also like different electronic music that has no lyrics in it. As for my favorite type, there is none. I listen to anything and everything as long as I like it. If I really had to choose, I would probably say that I like all kinds of electronic music the most. However, not so long ago, I was listening to rock'n'roll, rockabilly, and psychobilly. A bit more time ago was black metal, folk metal, progressive metal. For a brief moment, I listened to the soundtrack of HOMM4 somewhere in between. There was also a slight intervention of PSYQUI, a few mashups, and so on. It depends on my mood.

Never thought about it, but I quite like both of them, if anything, I find myself listening more to sung songs, but just by a small margin. I would say that my favorite types would be rock, metal, alternative, folk, epic music, and a lot more.

 

[OliviaMyriad]

I like instrumental, but when I do listen to ones with lyrics, the lyrics are mostly in Japanese. I listen to a lot of genres with the exception of rock, metal. The various kinds of -steps and -cores don't really strike my fancy either with just a few exceptions.

 

[Daitengu]

I'm about 75/25 instrumental to vocal. I grew up as a gamer, so I have a vast catalog of bgms I love. I also find vocal music distracting. Which is fine some times, but not when I'm busy.

 

[KoyukiMegumi]

I love instrumentals, but uh vocals are lovely too. :< I can't pick between them, but I did.

 

[HokuouTenrou]

Voted for sung (more like 55-45 actually); fav genre is definitely metal.

 

[RepresentingSilence]

Depends on my mood just like whether I'd prefer to listen to country or metal or classic rock or anything else

 

[Biggest-Kusa-Out-There]

I like the 100000000 BC rock-against-wall enviromental music recorded by cavemen.
I was born in the wrong generation.

 

[DarkeReises]

Sung. I don't really listen to instrumental much, just don't like it for whatever reason. Genres I listen to are metal, rock, alternative, and things close to those.

 

[BlackKnightX]

I really love Japanese song that sings in English. Like, “Remembering” from Tokyo Ghoul :re. The sad tone mixed with a little bit of accent is so perfect. It gives off the strange charm.

 

[RepresentingCaution]

I like songs I can sing along to.
