I've answered the question already. The sexy R'n'B, which makes women frisky in clubs.

sorry, wasn't talking 'bout you.

All genres are created equal. :)

Best type of music ever invented?
 

Hmm, pretty hard to say....

I mean, everyone must have heard at least one good song from most genres.

But looking at how many songs I like, the majority of them fall into three genres:

Rock, Pop, & Dance.

Some are more equal than others.

Well...I still think this thread is just a excuse for favortism, we already know everyone is going to say rock is the best...Its all a matter of opinion...If someones favorite genre is say Techno then why try to tell them they are wrong?

I think the question is which is more popular. Right now it's pop because we live in time when rock is either dead or dying ar trying to transform into something new without the usual pretension or suckiness that goes along with such attempts by people who have no business trying to play it in the first place. Rap and R&B also very big. Thanks mtv, american idol, and all marketing-designed music. I think the best genre is blues though.

He's a keeper

Rock is-in a sense-making a comeback. However, its not in the form most of us would like it to. Its coming back into popularity with Fallout Boy and Hawthorne Heights, and backs like that. Really crappy rock that involves little talent and no good live shows.

But blues singers of 1920s onward must have thought the same thing when british and garage bands started popping up later on. Its like the evolution of music. Its inevitable.

And I still stick with Symphonic Metal/Rock as the best music EVER. Though I'm getting into more and more Prog.

I'm just going to answer the question and not go into a 'which is more popular' debate.
For me I have three favourite genres. Rap, Indie and Punk (which I know hardly anything about)
