hmm, just interested in some of people's enjoyment for music, i just want to know, why is it that you like the music you enjoy listening to? and why you don't like the music you hate?
Well, i like latin music and well music incorporating melody because i well, really like melodic pieces and also some of them are quite amazing or dificult to do, like jazz... or bossanova (brazilian gendre inspired on jazz, but not necesarily jazz) and well I don't like metallica or rap because there is a lot of noise and well I don't like the screaming either, and well rap is because the talking and languaje used on the lirics.
i like r&b cuz its soulful, and most of the time has pretty good beats.
I like country, mostly older country, because it has a pretty tune. It can be either fast or slow,and still have a pretty tune. I like old rock and roll because it's very bouncy, and also has a good beat as well as good tunes. I hate heavy metal, hard rock, because it doesn't make sense, and it's just mostly screaming and yowling. I love folk music, because most folk songs tell a story, and I like stories with in songs.

I love Christian alternative, emo, grunge, hardcore, heavy metal, Indie, punk, and rapcore music. I don't like rap and pop because it sounds the same. I don't like many girl artists because many claim to be rock which in most cases they are not. I don't mind classical, jazz, or country, but they're not exactly my cup of tea...
Oh, one thing I forgot, I don't like opera, yuk. Iit just sounds like screaming to music, lol.

Yuck opera. I agree, ww! *High five!*
I don't like it either
I mostly like rock, especially the older stuff, but some of today's stuff also. I like it because I like the music, the way the singer sings, and/or the words. It is almost always all 3 of those reasons though. I'm really not into the one's with all that yelling singing/regular yelling stuff; the only one's I don't mind that have that are Quiet Riot, AC/DC, and System of a Down, plus some songs from other artists. I'm not into rap, mainly because all the talking itself doesn't interest me and also because a lot of the songs seem to talk mainly about gangsters, gangs, sex, and very obvious discriptions of sexual stuff. Sometimes it's the same with R&B stuff, but I'm just not into that very much either, although I would probably listen to more of that compared to rap. (Not that I won't listen to rap at all, but yeah.)

Hmm, I like lots of different types of music, especially music that plays on an emotion inside you, a song that reaches out and touches something in you, be it sadness, anger, happiness, desire to go dance and be silly or a song that envelops and captivates you. To that end e.g. some rap is funny and the rhyming is brilliant, artists such as "the Streets" "Eminem" (on a lot of his tracks), Outkast (welll they're more hip hop but often envoke the same type of eeeling) Black Eyed Peas (if you don't want to move your body when you hear "Don't Funk with My Heart" you got to be severly depressed) etc. Similarly bqands like Korn or System of a Down often are very good at conveying anger and frustration and often those are great things to listen to when you feel that way. Band such as Kent (Sweedish) communicate sadness and thoughts of mortality really well, check out their "Hagnesta Hill" or "Du og Jag Doden" as an example, the way they built the interweaving melodies is so good it is absolutely amazing, the Cure works on the same level + their lyrics are often really amazing. I like bands like the Cure and Radiohead the best because they work on multiple emotions, they don't have a defined style and the same album can make you think of so many things and feelings at once. Bands like Green Day are good and fun but they are very one dimensional in their approach to engaging the listener and always use the same tricks, GreenDay has been branching out some "Time of your Life" e.g. is a beautiful ballad and very unexpected from them at the time but now they are incorporating more of that stuff into their music with mixed results.
I don't like lame rapping and I don't like some r&b songs, especially those that are simply lame reworkings of old songs, stealing the melody and the samples and putting some lame rap over it trying to mask the fact they are bringing nothing original to the table. There is good r&b though too so this definitely does not go for every r&b artist at all.

hmm, I like some instrumental stuff, some of these songs touch you, they change your mood when listened
Sometimes, I really like instrumentals; it's fun to figure out the story the composer was trying to tell, or to make up your own story. And there are some Christian rap artists who don't sing about all that but rap isn't my cup of tea so...
I adore Marilyn Manson he inject's such power and passion into every note and chord of his music and you are left in no doubt, as to the depth of his conviction when it comes to getting his point across..However in my lighter moments I also love the LOTR soundtracks particularly ROTK. War Of The Worlds, classical, opera and chill out..and some Peruvian Ethnic music which is quite bouncy and cheerful..
hmm, for cheering up I will go with latin music
I also like live praise and worship music. Good stuff.
Hello, l listen to the music that I love listning to because it keeps me relaxed and it suits my current mood at most of the time. I hate some music because either there some emotional or there so out of tune. Or the singer cant sing well haha just kidding around.
Well the one singer I've heard, and wonder how she ever made it is Janice Joplin, ick, horrible. She's the one who put out that me and Bobby Mcgee song, and take another little piece of my heart now baby. Her voice is all gravelly, and I just never cared for her singing at all. Yeah leiloni, I know how you feel about wrap, I feel the same way about most of it, beside you can't understand the words hardly, but when we got our first karaoke, there was a tape, you sing the hits, and among the 6 songs that were on it was ice ice baby. That was the mildest wrap song I'd heard. Unfortunately there is mention of dope in it, but it didn't have a lot of cussing in it, and I could substitute the one 4 letter word and turn it in to darn, which i did. That was the only wrap song I did, but I did do a song called cold hearted snake, which had a little bit of wrap in it. As for the ice ice baby song, I had to get someone to read the words, so I could type them in braille before I could do it. It took a lot of practice before I got it perfect.

I dislike music like country or rap or metal becasue I don't feel I can really relate to their particular points of view. Techno seems kind of cold and mechanical, although I do like electronic music from earlier days. I do not care for the singing style of opera, soft rock is pretty but boring, and country is just not something I fel I relate to either. Smooth jazz is not interesting becasue I'm more a listener to music than one who just puts it in the background. Everything else is probably fair game unless I missed something.
Hello, well I listen to anything that has a nice mellody or if the lyrics are nice and mean something. I also enjoy listening to the lord of the rings soundtrack.
Well, there is a certain type of blues music, which is so silly, it's kind of funny. We have a public radio station here, and every saturday night, well every friday saturday and sunday nights, they'd have what they called back porch music, which is the kind of folk music I like, then they'd have back porch blues music. They had one song with lyrics that were so silly, it made me laugh. I got the blues in my mailbox, cause I can't get no mail. I got the blues in my bread box, cause my bread has gone stale. Lol, talk about silly, hahaha.

My musical tastes are pretty diverse, at least partially because I'm from a bi-racial family. I grew up listening to soca, R&B, Rap and HipHop, but at the same time, I also grew up listening to quite a bit of rock--both modern and classic respectively--so that's influenced what I listen to I suppose. I have no idea where my interest in J-Pop came from, but eh. :)
umm, well for blues i don't like it, and well i was refering overall more to latin jazz, not jazz itself lol.
I like hip hop and rap, not necessarily for the words, but for the beats and catchiness. I like celtic music because it's relaxing but energetic at the same time. I don't really like country music because I find some of it sort of depressing.
