OT: A Music Poll

[Renegade 13]

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.

They are a good band. I enjoy them a lot. I have only heard the first single off of the album, so based off of that I think this could be a great album.

Most second albums for bands suck. So hopefully Evanescence breaks that cycle.
