Your kind of Music & why?

Question

What is your favourite Kind of music?

I like all kinds from Rock to Australian Aborginal. I dont have a favourite, But I prefer music that is easy on the ears.

I try to get my buddies interested in differant kinds but there only interested in one kind ( Hard House ).

Dont you think thats a bit Naive?

Answer 1

I just love most music, not so much `pop` but anything that means something or has that special sound.
I like to contrast styles when I burn a disc, Japanese Hardcore Punk, then some Medieval music...just to emphasise the difference.
Yes, your buddies are a bit naive, but as time goes by they will listen to other stuff too, hey, maybe they listen to classical and easy listening at home, but are too scared to mention it !

Answer 2

I also have a very varied taste in music from very old acoustic blues thru jazz,jump blues, big band you know the stuff jitterbug and jive music thru the sixties ,Stones,Kinks, never liked the Beatles that much bit too clean cut for my taste the Animals were great loved the 70,s Mott the hoople ,Bowie,Queen,Zep,Purple, the Sabbs, Motorhead But as a rule will listen to any thing if I don,t like it won,t bother again tried listening to hard house but it just left me cold I do try and keep a open mind about most things apart from child molesters and things like that where my mind is totally closed to any excuses but that is away from your question I listen to my music depending on my mood at the time or the mood that I want to get my self into hope that is a reasonable answer to your question bye 4 now

Answer 4

My absolute favourite kind of music is techno, trance, electronica. The main reason I find it so great is probably cause there are no lyics... this means I can listen to it whilst doing anything else and it merely fills my head with somehing pleasant. Just sound as it be, harmonious though.

Honestly I like many kinds of music though. I think music is a very personal thing and that's why people differ so greatly when it comes to what they like.

Answer 5

I think the question "What's your favorite kind of music" is almost irrelevant today. Back when I was a kid/teen (70s/80), you actually got definite answers to that question.
In recent years, you ask that & hear 'I like everything' far more often. Not sure what changed. Maybe the internet has opened up the musical landscape for everyone...

As for me, I like many diff' genres, but rock is tops on my list.

Answer 6

Music should be an expression of feeling and emotion - that's why increasingly people are opening themselves up to different music to fit different moods, different situations. Sometimes I just love to get lost in the music and dance away and I like R&B, old school hip hop and soul for that because I like the rhythms and emotion.

In a moment a song can take you back to a place you were when you first heard it - Californication will always and forever be Cusco, Peru for me for example. Bitter Sweet Symphony will always remind me of a certain guy and Princess Diana's death. Lean Back and New York (Ja Rule not Sinatra) will always remind me of October 2005 in NY. Simply the Best will always make me want to raise my arms and chant for my football team (not that its even their song anymore, but they ran out to it for a few seasons). I discovered soca in the run up to Trinidad carnival 2001 and hated it to begin with, but by Ash Wednesday when carnival ended I just loved it.

Linking music to senses helps open up doors musically. I say I hate rock music, but there are some rock ballads that you just can't hate - no matter how much you try! But a piece of music I can love in one situation I can hate in another. What was it they used to say - if music be the food of love play on. They were onto something you know, music feeds your feelings and senses and if you close off to different music maybe you don't want to open yourself up to those senses? - funnily enough, if I were to say one type of music I hated it might be hard house, exactly your friends' favourite music!

Answer 7

most music is worth listening to ,though some in smaller doses. it depends on my mood ,what i will listen to.sometimes i will put the same cd on for days and just keep repeating it,drives my husband insane when i play Tracey Chapman solidly for days. he actually hid the cd from me once and forgot about it, until i accidentally found it 2 months later.naturally he had to hear it for another week solid .

i love Queen,since i was a teen , but also like Cat Stevens, SImply Red and more recently Gnarles Barkley and The Black Eyed Peas. having 2 young adults-teens in the house has been good as i hear their different tastes.

Answer 8

20th century classical (Messiaen, Alain, Vaughan Williams to Steve Reich etc). Jazz from, say 1957 onward...Coltrane/Davis/Benson to start off with. German Electronics - Stockhausen (1954-60) Tangerine Dream/Kraftwerk (1970-80). Vangelis (1970-75....after that he became a wee bit commercial) Jean-Michel Jarre...saw him in Paris in late seventies. Hummed his tunes thereafter for years after until I grew up - at about 30. Pink Floyd up until 1973...the Barrett aura has gone after then - they were only going through the motions, where they not? Oldfield, and most of the early Virgin bands in the mid seventies. Dub reggae - Prince Far I - Augustus Pablo and the other dub kings (1975-80) - Marley became over-rated I think after his 1976 London appearence, and so wouldn't have him in any collection! Brian Eno...yessir! The jazz-funk composers who used to do the music for American detective films in the seventies...yes. Quincy Jones one of them! Prog rock now and then...as I grew up with Genesis loving eldest brother. Mancunian minor key punk of the late seventies..Joy Divisions' 'Closer' top of the class and Vini Reilly/The Durutti Column - aural orgasms!
Right...I'm out of here! Thank you for tolerating my splurge!

Answer 9

If people aren't open to at least listening to other types of music then you aint gonna change their opinions!!!!
I listen to all sorts of stuff but always go back to listening to most of the great vocalists of the pop music era from elvis to orbison, cash and the Stones, Queen to the Beatles, Bee Gees to S Club 7...to name but a very few. And then there's classical!!!! Brilliant!

Answer 10

I like old school punk but I also like some 90's Brit pop, classic 70's rock, just straight rock & roll but I hate country and music that's "over-produced'....rap/hip-hop I don't consider music! I like good music played loud!!!
