Aspergian music tastes?

Post Reply New Topic

My favorite band of all time is The Smiths. But as for what I can't stop listening to for the time being, it's this song:

I loved them. I'm a big fan of Morrissey as well.

I do tend to prefer more peaceful music. Well, not exactly, but more cinematic/classical types of music, like video game soundtracks. Most types of music just sound like noise to me.

How can anyone not love this kind of music?

I could honestly say the same thing, up to a point. Musician, strives for excellence, interest based on skill and creativity, check. I listened to both songs you posted, but only really liked the two guitar solos in the middle of the first one. If I listened to more metal, I could probably learn to understand the lyrics, but I couldn't make out a word. I also expected to hear busier, more difficult music, but I love Kate Bush, too, and her recent stuff is brilliant in its simplicity, IMO.

I'll probably listen to everything anyone posts. Thanks for sharing them, all. I think the electronica selections from swbluto will make a nice entry point for me into the genre. Anyone like Dubstep? Someone played some for me at work, but I can't remember the names of the bands I liked.

here's some songs I used to listen to over and over.

This band even has a song called "fluorescent lights"
This is not that song, but I love this one.

This is Metallica, I don't what anyone says, this is awesome. I just like music that my ears like, whatever it ism that's all that matters to me.

oh yeah, and then there's this one,

Maybe I'm the only one, not sure, but I can feel music all over my body with many songs I like.

I have a varied taste in music. I like mostly 60s and 70s. I like music with a lot of guitar, I also enjoy listening to classical guitar.
Most of the time I can't listen to music, for whatever reason my brain can't process it and it's all scrambled noise.

Death/Black/Doom/Thrash and all their respective sub-genres. Also like Industrial, Electronica, Dark Ambient, and EBM.

And not much else.

EDIT: I almost forgot about Djent

That's a good representation of the kind of music I usually listen to, both in genre and language.

@Bloodheart: Clutch sounds pretty good.

Yeah, this seems to be pretty weird. My enjoyment of music seems to depend on my "mood", and my mood is, most of the time, insensitive to music and it's just noise (Like at the time of my original post, and even now, if I were to listen to the songs I posted, I would feel absolutely nothing but I might start to feel something later on tonight.). But, sometimes, it sounds pretty good - it's rarely "feel the music all over my body" type of good, but more like a "Wow, that's a good feeling flowing through my head.".

My interest is musical theatre, so I like showtunes.

(written by the same guy that wrote RENT)

And when I listen to non showtunes, I like a mixture. Tori Amos and Charlotte Martin, as well as Quietdrive.

Story songs. Poetry. Wordplay. Rock. Sonic Caffeine.

I think that's similar to what happens to me. Sometimes I can listen to a song, and it's tolerable. Other times, it's like nails on a chalkboard. But there's no medium...it's either good, or so terrible I can't stand it.

My all time favourite band is Great Big Sea.

NOTE: Brief smoking in drinking in the last video. I don't even if its alcohol that they are drinking, but I think it might be.

They also have slower stuff:

My second favourite band is Moxy Fruvous.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtPkDhM1Brs[/youtube]

NOTE: This song may offend some.

Also, I like some of the guys from Moxy Fruvous and Great Big Sea's solo stuff, also one of the members was in both.

There is other bands and singers I like to, but not as strongly as these bands.

THIS IS THE LIST OF ALL THE ARTISTS ON MY IPOD:
(Please note that I only have one or two songs by some of these artists)

Gillan Welch

Wow! There are some bands and singers on there that I don't know, they must have a song on a soundtrack I have or something.

^ great music taste! I also really like Moxy Fruvous and Great Big Sea. The more folksy kind of Canadian music gives me a special feeling.

I like a wide variety of music styles, and I have a tendency for the softer styles and for past eras (old bands). I don't like hip-hop, rap, mechanical contemporary pop music, too simplistic one-note songs. I like Pink Floyd, ska, reggae, rocksteady, folk music, county music, classical music, jazz, some soundtracks, Mike Oldfield, Led Zeppelin and more.

I'm so sorry my headphones are currently useless because of a broken socket. Here is what I posted on the music section earlier.
