I enjoy a wide array of music. There is almost always music playing in the background of my life. Classican, jazz, rock from the last half of the last century, a little country and western, folk music, solo piano, harpsichord, or cello. I prefer a singer that I can understand.
I dislike and avoid music that is angry, or vulgar. I also avoid classical Opera, the one's where it sounds like the vocalist is being tortured. Some modern Opera in English and in a register within the spectrum of normal human communication is enjoyable.
Music adds a rhythm to my life. It can make me laugh. It can bring me to tears. It can quiet the noise in my brain.
Music is fabulous.
I love music and am especially drawn to lyrics.
ReplyDeleteAnd your recall of music from the 50's and 60's is amazing.
DeleteI love a wide array of music too. And yes, I even enjoy "controlled screaming" a.k.a classical opera. It is remarkably moving.
ReplyDeleteI always worry that someone is being hurt.
DeleteI listen to music when I am in my car. I listen to current music and never know all of the lyrics but sing and dance along anyway! Rock has always been my favorite but I enjoy some Rap too...
ReplyDeleteI should find more radio stations in my car, the CD player stopped working.
DeleteThat's quite a selection of music you enjoy. I like a wide range too but it seems like I've stopped adding new artists after the year 2000. I think Amy Winehouse might be the only one I took a liking to in the past 20 years.
ReplyDeleteMost of what I listen to is from the last half of the last century.
DeleteAs a tinnitus sufferer I use music to help me cope with the constant buzzes and squeaks I experience all the time. I put my radio (on a local station) on as soon as I get up and it stays on all day.

I play YouTube music much of the time.
DeleteI was just listening to my Ella Fitzgerald Live in Berlin cd yesterday. So satisfying. Yes, keeping my Bose cd player is a hill I'm willing to die on!
ReplyDeleteHang onto it.
DeleteSo I guess you do not like:-
ReplyDeleteMy ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with my ding-a-ling
I find it childish,
DeleteI wake up every single day with a song playing in my head. Sometimes it's something I'd recently heard and sometimes it's something I've not heard in ages.
ReplyDeleteEarworms as we call them,
DeleteApparently we have VERY similar tastes in music, as I love al the genres you mentioned and dislike everyone of the types of music you dislike. We're like Music Twins! (A opposed to Musical Twins...or Wonder Twins for that matter.)
