Fun Stuff > BAND
Why do you like what you like?
KharBevNor:
I think peoples musical taste is a bit like peoples dogs. You know, it's a lot like them?
I like music that's big, loud, offensive, dresses in a manner that makes christian fundamentalists scared, thinks for itself, is a tad pretentious, a bit arty, has a highly liberal attitude to drugs and sex and really doesn't like political correctness.
AnonymousPosterChild:
Because I like the way it sounds.
I really cant explain it better than that.
Tago Mago:
I like different music for different reasons, but the stuff I really like generally: makes me want to jump up and down (Melt Banana); provides a genuine experience akin to a memory (Can); sends a shiver down the spine (Animal Collective); makes me really happy or really sad (Guided By Voices); completely terrifies me (Faust); provides a vivid tapestry of colour and sound (Brian Eno); makes me forget myself (Miles Davis); is pure energy played with rank amateurism (The Stooges); is pure energy played skillfully (The Velvet Underground); is beautiful (John Coltrane); is tragic (Pere Ubu); is intelligent (Radiohead); is cool (Boredoms); contains something altogether new that I've never heard before (This Heat); calms me down (Nick Drake); and basically just makes me feel good (...I like namedropping).
saturnine1979:
intelligence and creativity.
I'd say those are the two most common factors among the music I listen to.
I like music with well written lyrics. I like interesting song structures.
I like music with emotion. Not shitty "emo", real emotion. I don't care for a lot of 'angry' music (although I like DFA1979, QOSA, Deftones, etc.). I generally prefer indie pop, indie folk, or lap-pop. I like guitars. I don't like cock-rock. I can't stand vagueness and cliches in lyrics.
That's just ranting though... It's hard to say what really draws me to the music I like.
