Musical Tastes

[Brymon]

Im really wanna know what people on this site look for in music.

I personnaly like anything, mainly metal. Although anything with a good tune, singing, growling, shouting, screaming, rapping, speaking.
Im not like one of these people that say they like all types of music when they really mean all popular stuff.

Ive all types of shit in my collection!

So please help me out and let me know!

Cheers.

P.S if a similar thread has been done before im sorry, i did nae ken!!!

i find it really hard to pin point what it is that attracts me to the songs i like. SOngs that can make me sing and dance are always a winner but there is so much more out there.......

i cant get enough of the fratellis at the moment

I'm fairly unrestrained and uninfluenced by magazines, websites, other people; lacking commitment to one specified 'genre' - a concept that often consists of a glue that binds genre and follower into a system of approval, elitism and subsequent limitation.

Generally when I'm 'looking' for music these days its usually something that will be some sort of advancement on my musical thought, if you like, and that is governed by whatever I may be listening to at that time, if you get me.

I also think I can define quite accurately what I do and don't like, purely because I understand the concept of 'like' and 'appreciate' - something that possibly defines, in some way, what listening to music as a musician is; you can't realistically expect musically un-educated people to have a very objective view.

i like to thik ive got a fairly open mind when it comes to listening to music whether i like it or not.
mostly i listen to progressive rock, some harder rock and metal as well such as steve vai, yngwie malmsteen dream theater etc.

also found myself listening to quite a bit of jazz and classical music lately

im really into indie music and like to pick up bands quite quick, like going to gigs when bands are really small, there always the best. People get the idea that ill listen to whatever nme says are good which is bullshit, theres a difference between liking bands that nme write about and liking bands coz nme write about them

[Time Machine]

I just like a good tune, man!

Well there is that, but I usually know instantly what I like, whether it be dirty rock n roll or whatever. There's a definite SOUND that I like, or a groove, it's hard to pinpoint. If I could think of one tune at the moment that gets me everytime, it's 'Taste' by Ride, ironically, given the subject of the thread! That's my taste. Well, a taster of my taste anyway! 8)

i think the lyrics have to be really good, a catchy song with good lyrics is alright when you first hear it but normally ends up annoying you after a while

Anything but techno, french music and emo pish gets the thumbs up in my book

something with a bit of character - clever lyrics, unusual riffs or instruments, a sense of humour and piles of energy.
I'll listen to pretty much anything but I lean towards things with a good bass line and chorus you can scream along with.

[Hardcore Mel]

anything that makes me wanna get up and dance or get down and fuck mostly. i also like music that makes my arms twitch furiously as if playing air guitar.
i also love really pretty music that strikes a chord with whatever emotion i'm feeling at the time to a point where that song is all i can listen to. at this very moment such songs are Deville by Fight Paris and Time To Waste by Alkaline Trio.

[Chi 666]

All metal and hardcore (NAE EMO PISH LIKE)

but bry you already ken at

[Teabags]

stuff that isn't shit.

[Hogisbald]

Generally Im into stuff with an "over the top" production, music which pushes the boundaries regarding what is going on in a song. Lyrics actually dont mean much to me to be honest (as long as they arent cheesy).

Im always on the look out for songs that wont get out of my head for days.

Anything that makes me think "why didn't I come up with that?"
