Post Reply New Topic

Metal at 99,9%
I appreciate only few women singer

Other kind? i like '80s music and Love is Noise fron the Verve. and i appreciate classic.

I hate italian commercial music (Gianluca Grignani, Tiziano Ferri, Vasco Rossi, Ligabue, Giovanotti, Giusi Ferrero...), House music, Rap, Hip-hop and international Pop music

Yes, Mozart's music is different from what you normally think of as classical. It follows the forms enough that you don't get lost (not like, say, improv jazz where they go on and on and on with no real overall structure), and isn't as busy/noisy/bombastic/annoying as most classical music. Baroque music is torture because it doesn't vary and isn't interesting - they just plink plink plink on the instruments without any real variation. Later "classical" music in the Romantic era right after Mozart is so busy it's like a note-playing contest. Mozart is the perfect mean between too busy and no variation.

I forgot King Crimson too - they're extremely interesting because Fripp's compositions are relentless mathematical progressions in a way, going through chromatic chord sequences. Throw in Belew's lyrics, and it's ... weird.

If it's all the same to you
Heres what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna buy a gun
Shoot everything and everyone
Then I'm comin for you
Cause it was you that drove me too.

OK, I like The Beatles too. And baroque (Jordi Savall).

I alway try to remember the phrases when so aptly used, thanks. The above applies to me either, except for the last sentence.


My taste also has changed, I can't stand "music" that I used to when I was younger. Especially the mechanical, too modern, overly repetitive one-note stuff, which seem getting all the worse as years pass by.

I am into piano music, jazz, bossa. Generelly like it when real instruments are played. Also like it when it's just a singer and one instrument, as there is not too many things to focus on. Strangely enough, I am also into electronic music due to it's repetetive nature (mainly Paul Oakenfold and Fatboy Slim). Recently discovered chiptune and like some of it. Oh yeah, and 90's gangsta rap (can't help it, it's the stuff I grew up with).

Rippling, tingling, vibrating, tensing, oscilating, even crushing and forceful/sudden and especially the kind with colors. I prefer if it's ordered, with hints of chaos and change. Or mildly chaotic with ordered sets within. Anything too regular is boring, although it can potentially be entrancing if done right..

Soft and gentle, caressing, steady or slick etc...theyre ok when peppered in but I don't like anything consitently not from the first list.

I especially don't like jagged, sharp, tearing, searing or peicing. Although I've recently learned to like cold.

I hate.

metal. It can literally reduce me to tears within seconds. I'm hypersensitive to sound, and find many genres very abrasive, but that's the worst by far.



I don't have any one genre. At all. Though I tend to like indie music and freak folk the best.


Anything with an Augmented 7th chord vibrates my heart. That's the only way I can describe it.

Try Hesperion XX and XXI, Le Concert des Nations with Jordi Savall on Aliavox label. The movie soundtrack "Tous Les Matins du Monde" is amazing with Marin Marais, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Mr. de Sainte Colombe. "Ostinato" is about a repetitive genre, "Altre Follie" 's initial track "Folias Criollas" has the vibe of improvisation. "Carlos V" is a majestic court music.

Isn't that what it's supposed to do?

I don't think there's any particular preference other than a tendency to listen to music that one genuinely likes rather than what's popular.

As for me. I like music that has a strong mood or has some kind of theatrical aesthetic to it. If it doesn't have an element of darkness, tension, or intrigue I get bored pretty quick. Every once in a while I come across a happy/upbeat/poppy song that I feel is fun and energizing, but as a general rule I find most popular music dull if not outright annoying. Also, I can only tolerate major key for so long. I crave the minor key or more dissonant scales and rhythms.

As for genres, I like a lot of stuff that falls under the label "trip hop", "electronica", "industrial", "post rock", "dark ambient", etc... Mostly, mood-setting music with lots of sound experimentation. I also like an assortment of indie-rock bands from the 90s through 2000s and some older "90s alternative" stuff.

Some people might enjoy pain.

I don't.

Really? I find anything seventh very dissonant.

Radiohead is a big one for me.
I suppose that in a stereotypical manner, Radiohead's chilly themes of alienation and modern desolation seem to resonate with my Aspie-addled soul.

But actually, lyrics don't matter to me much at all. Like some others have said, certain chords/intervals/tones/frequencies stir up more feelings for me. Most of my favorite music is instrumental, repetitive, minimalist, complex, rhythmic, and improvisational.

Tom Petty.

OMFG there is so much I want to say on behalf of metal...Well at least my metal. Unfortunately my words will fall upon deaf ears but I might as well give it a shot. Everyone on this site hates me anyways so it's not like I have anything to lose.

Basically, there is a LOT of things that people don't understand about metal and music in general. People think it's for enjoying and relaxing and to provide an atmosphere in the background at parties. If Beethoven or Bach heard someone say that they would stab that person in the neck with a knife. Music can be all those things to the modern non-musical human, but to a musician it is their life. I'm not talking about those phonies making money off of ret*ds suckling on the teat of the mainstream or losers who learned to play a few chords and decided to start a band. I'm not talking about those people who play crap generic (Thrash, Black, Old School/Brutal Death, Power)metal. I'm talking about REAL musicians. Musicians who understand theory and how to implement it on a technical level with an instrument. Musicians who can comprehend a divine sonic creation. Think about it this way, When you mass produce something you get an extremely crappy product of the lowest quality. That is what the big record companies are doing.

Listen to this song written by a man who enjoys making music, not money. Listen to the musical side of it. Don't listen to the distortion, but the notes and the harmonic and melodic phrases they create. Don't listen to the growls, but the story the singer/growler is trying to tell. Listen to it with open ears and if your hearing is over sensitive then turn the frikkin volume down. I'm listening to music at around 60 decibels right now and still enjoying it. If you don't normally like music, then don't listen. Just listen to it!

This is the way I view things. I don't care what you think about it, I just want you to get the message.

Very insightful!
