I just never saw the appeal. They're terrible live, and every time I've thought I was being too harsh and should give them another go since so many people whose tastes I can normally rely upon love them they've bored me to tears. Drone/doom need to either create an oppressive, intense atmosphere (Red Right Hand) or give me good mental imagery (Naked Shit's first double CD does that nicely, although admittedly the split with IX was patchier). Khanate made me wander off in boredom to check the Melt-Banana merch.

Speaking of Jenny Lewis.  I would like to see Joan Jett kidnap her and Chan Marshall and beat the ever loving crap out of them.

Carry on.




Whats wrong with Jenny Lewis?

Back to the original topic (Oh noes!), I like music that gets my imagination going. Emotionally, lyrically, compositionally, whatever. Which kinda explains why my hard drive's got symphonic metal, death metal, black metal, progressive metal, goa/psy trance, progressive trance/house/techno, futurepop, synthpop, VGM, classical, soundtrack and countless fusion genres of all these (Machinae Supremacy: SID Metal!).

I'm drawn to music to gets to me emotionally (Sigur Ros, GY!BE), music that has serious musician-ship (Mastodon, Sufjan Stevens) and music that just wants to rock and not care about anybody (Art Brut, Deerhoof). And really, music in general just makes me happy. It's more of a fact that I like music just because I find it interesting or different than others. The three factors just make the music better.

I like the stuff that sounds good to me. I tend to go more for the simple stuff (I love anything acoustic) because getting loads of things going at once will almost always sound like chaos and that is not cool.

But really I'm not too picky.

mortarman178, I highly recommend a few things.

1. Try your best not to get offended when people on this forum talk about how you're probably in high school and what that means.
2. Keep an especially open ear towards music you've never heard before, and really try to get into it.  In fact, start listening to everything anyone recommends you, especially us on this forum, and especially me.
3. Keep listening to Bach.
4. Check out Queens of the Stone Age, Kyuss, Black Sabbath, and Monster Magnet.

I like the music I do for many reasons.  Sometimes it's in response to or compliments my emotions at the time, whether I'm angry, happy, sad, etc...  Sometimes it's situational - need to relax, at the gym, need to concentrate at work...  Let's look at the J section on my iPod for example:

Japanther - when I'm either joyous or feel like I just need to have fun
Jay-Z - good non-rush hour driving music
Joanna Newsom - when I'm introspective, or sometimes sad
Joy Division - when I'm really sad or need to hear real emotion
Justice - when I need to dance
Justin Timberlake - late night at my apartment dancing music, namely SexyBack and Rock Your Body

I like:

music that makes me feel something, whether it's happiness or heart-wrenching-ness. (I know that's not a real word, but I'm making it one.) (Arcade Fire, Jeff Buckley, Cold War Kids)

music that makes me get up and dance (Lily Allen, a lot of Belle and Sebastian--I like everything I've heard by B&S but not all of it is danceable, Old 97's, Franz Ferdinand)

music with good lyrics (Bettie Serveert [my favorite band], Elvis Costello, Peter Murphy).

music with lots of instruments that fit well together (The New Pornographers, Bettie Serveert again).

alt-country (Wilco, Old 97's, Neko Case--and I'm counting her as alt-country, Son Volt, Drive-By Truckers, Avett Brothers)

stuff that just rocks (Art Brut, Buffalo Tom, The Clash, Dropkick Murphys, Foo Fighters)

beautiful stuff (The Divine Comedy, Sufjan Stevens, The Delgados, Arcade Fire).

straight-up indie rock (The Decemberists, The Shins, Elf Power, Elbow, Modest Mouse)

good 80's music (Hoodoo Gurus, Psychedelic Furs, Echo and the Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, The Pretenders--I've been a Pretenders fan since I was seven years old, REM--been an REM fan since I was twelve)

However, I'm not entirely sure why I like those kinds of music.  They're just pleasing to my ears for some reason.  (BTW, the above list is a mere handful of all the bands I like.)

onewheelwizzard,
Thanks for the heads up but i dont get offened easly... i just take it as it is...it probably steams from basic training having a drill sgt screaming at me and all that..

im open minded when it comes to music, the list i gave is what i was currently in the mood for, but i have a bit of black sabbath ( large fan of the ozzy years not so much after he left)  not a large fan of queen of the stone age ( my wife is tho) and the othere two ill have to go check out dont think i head them before

but hey if anyone has anymore bands i love to give them a listen to. like i said im very open minded about music
hell even euro music i like a buddy of mine  got me into a band call Sacrosanctum, he told me there from the Czech republic

I listen to the music I listen to for many reasons. Some of it I listen to because it makes me think, some because it provokes a strong emotional response, makes me feel like dancing, or like rocking out. It really all depends on how I'm feeling on the day I'm listening to it on.
