Do you like normal music too?

Music for me is often about capturing an emotion or a moment in time. I still listen to a lot of pop-punk and even some happy hard for the sole reason that those styles were the soundtrack to my high school years. It's not that I really enjoy them as such, but they're full of memories.
I listen to the radio a fair bit when I get sick of my CDs and am notorious for embrassing friends by singing really loudly out the car window. Music is made to be sung IMHO (just possibly not by me) ;) I'm not ashamed to say I'll happily sing along to Nelly or Christine Aguilera or Bardot or whatever starlet is raping the airwaves. They're fun!
The only music I really can't stand is country. I'm sorry, but I just can't handle it.
 
Speaking of Pearl Jam a while back, Brad (Stone Gossard's side project) have just announced a show in Melbourne for early next year.
Anyone going?
 
Good music is good music. I mainly listen the trance/nrg/happy hardcore but i also love rap r&b and pop. I don't like that music because of what genre it is, i like it if its good

I like all sorts, couldn't even name a favourite genre... each is good in it's own right, when played in the appropriate environment.

I was brought up on a steady diet of 60s rock, musicals and classical (my friends still pay me out about the fact that in yr 4 when everyone else bought in their NKOTB tapes to listen to in class, I bought the soundtrack for Phantom of the Opera) and my musical tastes are still pretty broad.
I've only recently started listening to dance music and still don't know too much about what gets classed as what genre, but basically, the harder the better :) As far as the rest goes... alternative, grunge, rock, classical, bit of rnb and top 40, hell, I'm not picky, I love music ...food for the soul!!
I play the piano and would love to learn guitar and cello.
 
TOOL . . .
enough said . . .
ok, theres actually more i can say . . .
never have i come across a band that ive been so completely in awe of for the past 5.5 years . . . im so into them, it freaks me out sometimes . . . i can go literally weeks (actually, make that months) without hearing any other band . . . ive done it before . . .
i often wondered if i could "kill" any of their songs . . . i tried, and i cant . . . their songs are resilient fuckers, i tell ya . . .
im not like one of those crazy freaks who want to fuck all of the band members . . . i dont even want to meet the band . . . i have the music - what more do i want? . . .
and i just know the day that they decide to call it quits is the day that i literally cry my eyes out . . . im serious, stop laughing . . .
pry open your third eye . . .
peace and blessed be . . .

Music is tending in most ways to lean towards electonic - even if it is not, most radio stations are remixing everything with some sort of electronic beats. However the we cant turn our backs on our heritage. Anything that is written and played by the artists is good music.
However my all time favorite and sometimes reason for living in silverchair
 
Hi, my name is Fireal.
I like pina colada and holding hands in the rain.
I like listening to Michael Bolton and the Spice Girls. Sometimes I listen to them while watching television and it seems as though they are synchronised and made for one another.
-F!
 
Well for me up until about 4-5yrs ago now I was insistant that any kind of "techno" music was the absolute devil...
I would have to say that my music taste is genre-less, as much as I have gone through many stages in my life with my music tastes..
from my teenie-bopper years where my loves were:
Boyz II Men, Bryan Adams, The Corrs, Mariah Carey..
on to my mid-teen-crisis stage where I spent all my time listening to:
NIN, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Fear Factory, Tool..
then I moved on from that phase and started to appreciate music for its merit, not its popularity or 'cool factor'. I bought my first ever 'techno' CD, which a friend told me to get, which happens to be Happy Hardcore and got into alternative music..
Nowdays I barely ever listen to electronic music outside from events that I go to coz it just doesnt do anything for me emotion-wise. I appreciate a song which is well written and can
convey a mix of emotions to me.. my favourite music is music that I can feel when I listen to it, it moves me.
As an example a few groups/people that I currently listen to are:
Avril Lavigne
Tori Amos - Strange Little Girls
Coldplay
Dido
Garbage
Incubus
Also, having performed in my high school band and choir for ~7yrs, I gained an appreciation for Big Band, Classical, Jazz etc kinds of music.. and my dad is a huge fan of Country music so I can happily listen to that at any time also.
So what was my point? Uhm, basically if it sounds good I'll listen to it. It often annoys me when people are extremely judgemental of people based on their music tastes, especially since its such a huge and varied thing..
But yeah, I most definately listen to 'normal' music coz I really cant be fucked listening to the same beat for 16hrs a day :)
stace.
 
I've been listening to electronic music since before I was a teenager. And I've also been listening to non-electronica since then. God when everyone was listening to MC Hammer, and Paula Abdul I was rocking out to Faith No More and Unbelievable.
Truth is I love all good music. Right now I'm hunting for a good minimal techno CD, much like what Space DJ's played at Welcome, plus I want to get the Bortochelli (sp?) opera CD.
