I hate when people ask me, "What type of music are you into?" or "Who is your favourite artist?"
I hate it because I never know how to answer them! I don't have a favourite artist or band, instead I love specific songs regardless of their genre.
I know I could just tell them that but what you need to know about me is that I get tongue-tied EXTREMELY easily when trying to explain things. It's so bad sometimes that I wish I never opened my mouth. And frankly, far too many people look at me with "you're such a weirdo" expression afterwards that it's kinda embarrassing...
So I stay quiet, and then get called a snob. Sigh. I can never win...
But, I digress.
I wanted to share with you some of my favourite songs. If I had to choose, my favourite genre hands down is Indie/Rock. I do like other genres but I won't admit to it in public. Except Classical. I am perfectly happy admitting that I like Classical.
I've also noticed that I do like artists more if they have a unique voice. There are far too many artists and bands out there who sound so alike that I can't even tell the difference between them anymore. So here are a bunch of songs by people with unique voices that I like...
I hate those questions, too. I use to answer I don't listen to music, so they shut up. :D
ReplyDeleteHaha that's a good idea, though I don't think they'd believe it if I was listening to my ipod at the time :P
DeleteI have to agree with you. My tastes vary too much to settle on one. One day it's swing music, the next the Foo Fighters. I have favorites in each genre but I don't want to pick just one.
ReplyDeleteExactly George, it's far too difficult to just pick one favourite.
DeleteMy greeting to those first two paragraphs:
ReplyDeleteHello, life.
I like all kinds of music too. Of course, I'm drawn toward some types more than others, but when people ask "What kind of music do you like?" then what ARE you supposed to say? There are too many music snobs around these days; some people will immediately judge you by what you like hearing in your headphones. Grrr so frustrating!!
You're great for addressing this! I might have to rip you off and rant about how much music snobs irritate me. And YOU are most certainly NOT a snob. Christ it's just music. ._.
Yes! Finally I have someone who said I'm not a snob in writing lol! And please feel free to talk about this on your own blog, as long as you link back to me mind! Or I'll set the monsters on you... :P
DeleteI don't like how people judge us based on what we're listening too, it's annoying!
Lol me too hate such kinda questions i mean Why on earth they wanna know. =/
ReplyDeleteClassical Music is Awesome.
I'm thinking it's a conversation starter or they have nothing else to talk about it. It's quite a generic question unfortunately :(
DeleteHoly carp I love all these songs :D Thank you for providing me with roughly 20 minutes of awesome music.
ReplyDeleteI have long hair and wear a lot of black so no one really bothers to ask me about my taste in music lol. But it's a lot more diverse than they think.
Aww no worries! That's awesome! Haha that's so stereotypical of them!
Deleteok u have got good taste in music...
ReplyDeleteAww thank you :)
DeleteI just tell people I like all kinds and leave it at that! There's so much out there how can anyone not like a little bit of everything right? Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteThat's a really great answer! I must use that next time I'm asked!
DeleteI have a wide variety of musical tastes. I tend to stick to certain genre's when I buy music, but if it's on the radio, concerts or whatever I can enjoy nearly all kinds, except country and rap.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same, I enjoy all sorts but tend to listen to indie/rock more than anything else.
Deletedear thank you sharing your favorite music
ReplyDeleteNo worries, I enjoyed sharing them :)
DeleteI like the idea of having a list of songs you listen two written down so others can read it but yeah I too hate it when you have to say it in a conversation.
ReplyDeleteI have the same problem as you but your list isn't as deverse as mine! (its all soft or hard rock)
My tastles go from Rock to Pop to Heavy Metal to Country to Opera.
Now thats hard to cover in a conversation, "Yeah I love everything from GWAR to Waylon Jennings to Pavarotti to DEVO!"
Yes having a list would be incredibly handy! Oh trust me, my playlist is diverse - these songs are the ones with the most unique voices! I can go from Foo Fighters to Rihanna to Beethoven to Blackmore's Night! lol!
Deletei'm with you i hate those questions because if it's a great song i like it regardless of time or genre good music is good music. by the way i like your playlist
ReplyDeleteI'm the same! And I'm glad you liked it :)
DeleteHate those questions! I like every genre. (Yes, I can even listen to opera)
ReplyDeleteSo do I! I like listening to opera too :)
DeleteLithium - My Favorite Song from Evanescence- Because of this song I started listening to Evanescence.
ReplyDeleteLinkin Park - One Of The First Singers I started Listening to (In English)
There Live Performances are so good. It never feels like they are doing it live. That is what I like in a singer. If that singer can perform it live, and his voice is good then I'll listen to it.
Though I listen to a few artists whose performance isn't that good when they go live.
but well -_-
Once I tagged one of my Friends on the song by The Beatles "Let It Be" And this is what she said "Oh, this is too old"
LOL
It made me roll on the floor and jump from the fifth floor.
but anyways.
Nice Play List :D
It's a very powerful song! And I know what you mean, you can tell who are the best artists out there if they can sing live! Many artists sound shit live!
DeleteI think people should like more than one kind. Although, even if you like just one, at least you like music, right? On my Zune I have country, pop, rock, indie. You're the one listening to it, so who cares if those asking don't like what's on your music player? They don't have to listen to it! lol
ReplyDeleteExactly, it's not as if we're forcing them to listen to what we like!
DeleteWow, LP, Evanescence, Nickelback AND Rammstein!! That is soo awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteI like them too, and also I like a lot of rap music; but that doesn't limit me too towards these genres/artists. Good music is always good. That's what I answer to my friends when they ask me what kind of music I like. :)
Haha I'm glad you like them! And I like that line, "good music is always good"
Deleteoh and "Figure .09" has the line "You've Become a Part of Me"
ReplyDeleteI always get confused between "Figure.09" and "Part OF Me" -both are by Linkin Park
Ahh that is confusing lol!
DeleteYou should listen to "A Place For My Head" by Linkin Park - It is something like "Figure.09" -
ReplyDeleteI like how Chester And Mike Sings in this one ;)
Cool, I must check it out sometime :)
DeleteAwf man the exact same thing happens to me when I try to explain things and I end up throwing my hands in their and saying, "EFF this man!" lol ;p I love Linkin park and there was this song I heard once by foo fighters that I adored..I can't remember the name !
ReplyDeleteI agree on the unique voices. There aren't many unique voices out there lately. I like to listen to every genre ;)
It's incredibly frustrating isn't it?! Aww you should try and remember some of the lyrics and Google them along with Foo Fighters and you might find it!
DeleteI like all kind of Music.
ReplyDeleteAwesome!
DeleteI like Rock too \m/
ReplyDeleteThe songs listed above are cool, Amy Lee, though is someone I look up to, she is just unmatched you know.
