[music, thoughts] October 17, 2002 at 10:03:11 PM CEST How would you describe your taste in music without mentioning artists or specific genres? My answer could be something like this: I usually neither like music which is too mainstream nor too experimental. I don't like too pure a style as I usually find that too predictable and get bored soon. If I had to choose between beat and tune I'd always go for the tune. I like music which is
To have a wider public I also started a discussion about this on I Love Music here though I would prefer you to comment in this blog.

Re: How would you describe your taste in music without mentioning artists or specific genres? I don't think I could improve upon what you've already written. And really, any fan of music (regardless of the genres they prefer) would probably say the same things. Great job. ... link

Re: Re: How would you describe your taste in music without mentioning artists or specific genres? I think I made a mistake with this. It was stupid to post my response first, I should have waited for some answers first... But I am not sure if every fan would say the same. That's what I got out of the ILM thread at least. ... link ... comment

Another discussion of this question takes place here at People Talk Too Loud. Thanks Jeff for taking this up. Not too many answers there yet but they are much more personal and insightful than the ones at ILM. ... link ... comment

Re: How would you describe your taste in music without mentioning artists or specific genres? Ugh, tough question. The old saw 'I don't know what it is, but I know what I like' doesn't explain anything, but it does sum up my general feeling. The following will sound much too spacey, but I like music that seems timeless. Music that almost makes use of the musicians, to come out on it's own volition. It can manifest itself as something completely new, or as a classically crafted defining genre moment. I tend to find myself heavily influenced by a great vocal. I agree totally with your comment on lyrics! ... link ... comment

Discovering what you like I found close your eyes because I am trying to help a friend define what type of music he likes, when he really doesn't listen to anything much. Music is such an emotional support, I thought it would help support a lot of the tough stuff he's experiencing right now. I certainly find it helps me! So my question is, how do I or does he go about figuring out where to begin with music? I"m going to forward this response to him from this person... I don't understand where the author's identity is revealed... and any other suggestions would be appreciated! He's 49, a geologist, married with 2 girls and marital challenges. ... link

the author's identity is revealed nowhere except by the stuff i write here, sorry about that. it could have to do with lack of self-confidence or the security anonymity might offer. your question isn't easy to answer, it's an important question though, i guess. music which has helped me during difficult phases in my life was mostly calm and tuneful. when i was very depressed during my studies listening to bach pieces performed on classical guitar could have a positive effect on me. it would comfort me and would drive the dark clouds away. loneliness when someone you love has left you could be cured by listening to neil young's voice. after the goldrush, harvest, on the beach are all balm for the soul of the heartbroken. what i find slightly bizarre in your comment is that you say that your friend does not really listen to music. maybe music doesn't work for him? in any case i would not impose any music on him. invite him to your house and put some music in the background that works on an emotional level for you and see what happens. if he asks what it is tell him. otherwise don't. many people do not get any support from music, i suppose. ... link ... comment |
