I don't know why; but I LOVE music. And I have an appreciation for any type of music, basically. Its weird to me. Anyone else like that? But I HATE RAP and ALL the stuff they play on the radio. I just love things with a GREAT meaning other than a person "loving" someone else. Just thought I'd make a forum bout it.

I'm similar. I don't like Rap, or anything related to it. I've been around music all my life, starting with Oldies, Country, and Southern Gospel. Basically, I enjoy older music more than modern stuff. Anywhere from Classical, to the Golden Oldies, to SOME Techno/Electronica, and I peter out around late 80s. Some modern stuff is catchy, but not much. I much prefer Southern Gospel--I sing it too.

There is already a music forum.

I love rap alot.. and christian rock.. really helps me through my tough times when I consider if Im a child of god or not.

I know Sunny! I LOVE music!

Hymns and contemporary Christian music.

Worship
Rock
Pop
Punk
Hard rock
Rap
Hip hop

If it's Christian, I like it.

I also like a few non-Christian songs but not many.

We will Rock You - Queen
Another on Bites the Dust - Queen
We are the Champions - Queen
Life is a Highway - Rascal Flatts
The Imperial March (instrumental)
Handel's Messiah
Aly & AJ

This is the ringtone on my phone. I love it.

Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Noiseworks, AC/DC, Aerosmith and Def Leppard are the greatest bands to ever live.

I'm all about sharing the love.

I'll share my love with you anytime.


Also, I don't think I've ever met a single person who has said "I don't like music."

I have met someone who said that they preferred movies over music, but movies contain music, so ba-dum-tsh.

I could name about 50 genres you would not appreciate.

Deadmau5, Daft Punk, Crystal Method, Fatboy Slim, The Prodigy, Chemical Brothers are all my favourite electronica music, and I absolutely hate Lady Gaga and all the bands like 80% of the teens listen to these days. I also like Modest Mouse and Rush.

Your not weird, trust me. I have the same love of music. I mean, I really LOVE music!!! LOL!!! I like mostly all types, but i do have some favs. Here they are:

Nickelback*
Jesse Mcartney
Justin Timberlake
Avril Lavigne
Kelly Clarkson
Creed
Leona Lewis
Savage Garden
John Mayer
Pink
Josh Groban
Katy Perry and alot more!!! LOL!!

You just named the favourites of 80% of the population XD That's not bad though. Savage Garden isn't a huge favourite, but they are good.

I Love music Too, I love singing becaouse of the tones the way they express them selves i Like Especialy Taylor swifts songs . just recently was singiing a taylor swift song and i felt repernt in the name of the lord i dont know why , the lord Has a difrent purpose with each one of us , and esch one of us god talks to us in difrent ways example if the lord tells me ¨o melissa dont sing that type of music ¨i cant say ¨Sally, dont sing that type of music ¨ because god told me that eaven tho i listen to taylor swifts im cristian that cant effect it but i preffer praising god know .

I bet you won't reach 49...

yay another music thread!

erm, i like a lot of random stuff: pop, rock, jazz sometimes, cinematic music, rap, blues sometimes... don't like country or the really old classical stuff though. Some of the artists and bands i like:

Rihanna, AAR, The Fray, Eva Cassidy, Rob Thomas, John Mayer, Lady Gaga, Smash Mouth, Norah Jones, E. S. Posthumus, Alicia Keys, Sia, Butterfly Boucher, Fleetwood Mac, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Eminem (rarely..), Sara Bareilles, Thriving Ivory, Billy Joel, KT Tunstall... Michael Bublé ^^ oh and Bobby Darin's cool (er, was) .... and Linkin Park... and then some others who have written/covered one or two rly good songs (U2, The Killers, 10 Years, Amy Kuney, The Righteous Brothers xP). And a bunch of others I won't mention.

...and cinematic music - Thomas Newman, Rachel Portman...

...and Pendulum and Ratatat make some cool electronic stuff.

Not much Christian music in my playlists though. :/

Moved to The Loft > Music.

I enjoy most country and mostly anything Christian.

Lol.

I love practically and music. I don't like opera or rap though.

I'm really picky about my music, ask anyone who knows me.

The following I will not under any circumstances listen to:

- Taylor Swift. Specifically, You Belong With Me. For one, 'sneakers' and 'bleachers' do NOT in fact rhyme. Secondly, the girl in the song is totally shallow - she obviously has hardly ever talked to this guy she's so infatuated with, which means she's basing him completely on looks. Thirdly, the song was just made to cater to all those girls who have some silly puppy love crush on a guy they barely know, and that's not a good thing to encourage, especially if the guy's dating someone else. Just accept the fact that he's not interested, and is obviously interested in his girlfriend. Don't expect him to dump her for you.
/rant

- Christian music (haha, it always sounds bad when I say it. I'm not opposed to the idea of worshiping God through song, but it just seems like all Christian songs are the same. They have the same words - generally praise, glory, worship, love, etc. - and have the same sound.)

- Country (Don't wanna hear about some hick singing about the fact that he married his cousin and drives a green tractor. Seriously, I by mistake turned to the country music radio station, and all I heard was something about a green tractor. An hour or two later, while browsing through stations, I turned to it again, and heard the same song. Give me a break.)

- Rap (No one cares that you've slept with tons of women and love your bling and your car.)

- basically any of the top 40 songs (self-explanatory)

- Hannah Cyrus or Miley Montana or whatever the heck her name is. (I listen to people with real talent, thank you very much. Not people who have famous parents and happen to get their own TV show centered around them. Also, she sells out way too much. She just wants fame, it doesn't seem like she actually has a passion for making music. Not that she makes the music herself anyways.)

- The Jonas Brothers (blegh.)

- Demi Lovato (blegh again)

- Kings of Leon (Seriously, why are they so super popular all of a sudden? The lead singer's voice makes me want to tear my ears off. Especially Use Somebody, it's EVERYWHERE!)

- Blues

- Jazz

NOTE: This whole list was just me ranting, so don't feel offended if I attacked your tastes in music. Remember, it's just my opinion.

And NOW! For the music I love. It's mostly indie rock, symphonic metal, classic rock, and some pop/techno thrown in there every now and then. And movie soundtracks are awesome.

- The Killers
- White Lies
- Kamelot
- Tokio Hotel
- The Bravery
- The Beatles
- Coldplay

^ My top few favourites And then, of course, there's orchestral songs by artists like John Williams, Hans Zimmer, James Horner, Steve Jablonsky, Howard Shore, etc.

Whew. That's a lot more writing than I intended... hehe.

Dude!!!
Yes!! Can't think of anything I disagree with, except for maybe Kings of Leon. They're from my hometown, so yeah, gotta support them a bit. I haven't listened to them too much though...
Blues in moderation are okay too.
But yes, couldn't agree more about country, disney art... never mind, disney singers, rap, and Christian music.

And yeah, some of my favorite genres are
Indie Rock
Alternative
Folk
Some oldies (I'm a bit selective)
Experimental
Acoustic
Pop (the good kind... like Jack Johnson, Ingrid Michaelson, Katie Herzig, KT TunstallJudd & Maggie etc)
Piano Rock(!!)
Rock
Art Rock
Soundtracks
Bluesy rock (like Black Keys)
Hymns (either acompanied by something simple like a piano, or a really good musican has to cover them... like Sufjan Stevens)

Some favorite bands are:
White Stripes (and basically every band Jack White is in... lol)
Death Cab for Cutie
Arcade Fire
Bright Eyes
Okkervil River
Ra Ra Riot
Fleet Foxes
The Killers
Snow Patrol
Sea Wolf

Ya know, stuff like that.

I love some smooth jazz when I'm relaxing.... anyone heard of Steely Dan?

Rikki, don't lose that number
you don't want to call nobody else.
Send it off in a letter to your self
Rikki don't lose that number
It's the only one you own
You might use it if you feel better
When you Get home


Steely Dan are pretty cool.

Back in the day, the bassist of my band always used to play that bass line to that song and plenty of other Steely Dan songs. Not my taste in music, but awesome bass lines.

I love music =] sometimes it's the only thing that keeps me going... driving with it blaring from my speakers, and the windows down letting my hair get messy. Nothing better than that

Like 99.99% of everyone in the world, I too, enjoy music. OMG.

My music taste kind of goes in cycles. I'll like a certain genre/band, get sick of it, move on to another, and then go back to the old one a few months/years later.
So, here's my top genres of the past year or so:
-80s/new wave (New Order, Pet Shop Boys, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, The Police, Journey, The Cure, Echo & the Bunnymen, Tears for Fears)
-Pop-punk I guess. I hate that genre name because people use it describe pretty much anything from Relient K to the stuff I like. (Blink 182, The Offspring, Less Than Jake, Lit, Alien Ant Farm, Sum 41)
-Some genre that I never really learned the name of, but the bands sound similar. I guess I'll just throw them into "alternative" (For Against, She Wants Revenge, The Chameleons, Sad Lovers and Giants, Sneaker Pimps, The Comsat Angels, The Good the Bad and the Queen, Slowdive)
-I don't know what to call this other than rock. If you can't tell, I suck at genres. (Fuel, Collective Soul, Bush, Cracker, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Seether, Smile Empty Soul)
-Brit pop (Oasis, Blur, Suede, The Tears)

And then there's Brand New and Third Eye Blind, my forever favorites that don't fit in any of those categories

Hm, dislikes. I actually don't mind a lot of top 40 stuff. I hate BrokeNCYDE. I'm not a fan of metal, screamo, or anything similar to those.

They're awesome!
