Default OT: A Music Poll

I'm curious what genre's of music the people who frequent this forum like. It'll be interesting to see if there's any correlation between distribution of likes/dislikes and age as shown in the various age polls.

Please reply if you feel like it, and feel free to give me a whack if I've forgotten any common genre's you think should be included, and I'll add 'em.

I was unable to access the site at the time of my post. Thanks for answering my very silly question.

"Lithium" by Evanescence. My new favorite song; I can't describe how awesome this song is. It just speaks to me.

Quote:
Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside
lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh but God I want to let it go

come to bed, don't make me sleep alone
couldn't hide the emptiness you let it show
never wanted it to be so cold
just didn't drink enough to say you love me

I can't hold on to me
wonder what's wrong with me

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside
lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow

Don't want to let it lay me down this time
drown my will to fly
here in the darkness I know myself
can't break free until I let it go
let me go

Darling, I forgive you after all
anything is better than to be alone
and in the end I guess I had to fall
always find my place among the ashes

I can't hold on to me
wonder what's wrong with me

Lithium- don't want to lock me up inside
lithium- don't want to forget how it feels without
lithium- I want to stay in love with my sorrow
oh I'm gonna let it go

Anybody else around here like Evanescence? New album coming out first week of October. The songs I've...acquired...say it's going to be awesome.

Eh, I don't really have a genre I despise. Just songs I can't stand.

Wonder why so many people dislike rap/hiphop.....

My current favorite song. "I'm bringing sexy back"

RCCCL:

I can only answer for myself. I don't dislike all rap/hiphop, but the number of pieces I like is relatively few.

As I see it there are 3 main things that people like about music. The first thing is beat. Almost everyone understands beat, and without it there is no music. The second thing is melody (or harmony), and the third is lyrics.

It's my theory that a listener will find a particular piece of music enjoyable if he likes at least 2 of these 3 qualities in it.

Rap often has little or no melody, and the lyrics may be objectionable or difficult to hear.
