Music Tastes

[radioactivez0r]

I've long wondered about what attracts people to certain styles of music, and I find myself musing that personality type may in fact play a part. If there are certain aspects of the world that appeal to us more than others (specifically, I'm not sure...I don't know enough about the type), perhaps the same principle applies to the music you listen to - the structure, the form, the harmonics or some other theory stuff I have no idea about.

What do you listen to?

[Jezebel]

It's difficult for me to explain what aspects draw me toward certain types of music, but here's my attempt:

I've never had proper training in music, yet I'm still drawn toward music that is somewhat complex and layered. I don't exclusively listen to this type of music, but I do get bored with a lot of pop type music that is repetitive, too catchy and simplistic.

Lyrical content doesn't sway my opinion of music. I can think the lyrics are cheesy, vehemently disagree with the message, or not be able to understand the lyrics at all and still enjoy the music. Good lyrics are nothing more than a bonus, and I'm actually surprised that it factors into so many people's criteria for whether or not they like a song.

I like music that is very powerfully and emotionally expressive through sound. This covers a broad range of music though. I consider metal to be extremely emotionally expressive (or at least powerfully so), and that's my favorite genre overall. I can also be drawn toward very soft music, in particular, I really like the sound of violins and cellos.

I'm not sure how much of my personality influenced my view of music, so this is all speculation. I think my extreme introversion and independence has definitely played a huge part. I spent a lot of time listening to music by myself and I grew up listening to music different than what my friends and family liked. I've always spent a lot of time actively seeking new music out myself.

The disregard for lyrics could in part be from the thinking or intuitive preferences. I don't look for music that matches my personal values or has lyrics that I can relate to. Only the mood I interpret from the song matters, and the way the instruments are arranged to create that mood.

I also have somewhat of a 'critical/dominate' type of personality, which could also factor into my appreciation for metal.

[radioactivez0r]

My roommate asked me a couple days ago why I listen to what I do (I think Suffocation was on), and I didn't really have an answer. I vaguely remember how I got into it - Usenet bombarded me with people far more knowledgeable than I, but even the first few things I tried completely turned me off - Entombed, a compilation with Cryptopsy/Carnal Forge/Naglfar, even my Sepultura tape made no sense. Then one day...it sort of clicked. I'm not sure what caused it, though. It was a completely different listening experience compared to anything I'd heard before, and maybe I just wasn't prepared for it right away. To that end, I can empathize with anyone who hears it and thinks it's just awful.

I'm the same in regard to lyrics, with the exception of Weird Al and bands like the Aquabats. I just don't care, and if they aren't contributing something to the sound, they may as well not be there. Sarah had me listen to something while we were discussing music; she asked me what I thought, and I told her that if the guy singing would shut the hell up, it wasn't bad. Good music doesn't let the vocals get in the way, because it's GOOD MUSIC. I don't think my appreciation for classical, or Celtic stuff, or vocal work, has anything to do with that though. You know what....I think you explained it pretty well already. No need to beat a dead horse :)

That's it. Right there. I don't think I could have explained it better.

I listen to a wide variety of music, but each song holds specific emotional value. Whatever I'm feeling at the moment, my music typically reflects it.

I find that my favorite type of music is that kind that has no lyrics at all, or lyrics in a language I don't understand (or don't feel like translating) so that I'm really just listening to the music itself.

[drc]

I believe that a true artist can really evoke the lyrics from the music itself. Thus becoming part of the music itself instead the icing on the cake or the cookie for the children. I find this becoming more and more rare. You see most people writing lyrics and then they try to get some music to cover it. As far as genres go I listen to anything aslong as it is good, except country ;x. I often find my mixed cd's to have some hard rock/metal mixed with some classical music on the same disc.

Good music is a true artform. The same song that creates a sense of peace or has a certian meaning to me may not even be close to what someone else gets from it. The wonderful part about art to me is that the only thing that matters is how it makes you feel. There is so much you can relate to with good music. To me it can produce deeper thought on a subject, bring out deeper feelings or take you places that you have never been. All it takes is a little creativity.

My opinion on the shit lyrics in alot of music is that the people that listen to it for just the lyrical content don't know what good music is. They need to be "hand fed" because they don't have the imagination to relate to it otherwise. As stupid or juvenile as these may be they still get majority of the radio airplay and are succesful because the sheep don't stray from the field. Did I mention that I love public radio? :x

[Jack]

I have a hard time enjoying modern rock(97-now)...the full meaning behind why i loved it went to shit, the moment Cobain died. The first few years after 1994 was fine for me(Alice in chains, Soundgarden, mudhoney, etc, etc) but it soon got silly with the added annoyances like limp biskit, foo fighters, Oasis...

True art has gone out the window! Now anyone can be an industry pressed rock/pop/rap/metalstar....Is it just me or does it seem like after an extremely iconic talent dies, the music takes a dump in the shitter for awhile?

I also have somewhat of a 'critical/dominate' type of personality, which could also factor into my appreciation for metal.

To save myself a whole lot of trouble, I'm just going to quote the above and say I'm pretty much the same.

I absolutely love the more "ambient" metal (think death/doom, ambient black etc) for it's sonic complexity. Perhaps in the same way I enjoy listen to some prog/power metal bands as for their own style of complexity. Nothing better than listening to a song listening as the patterns play out.

That said, I also enjoy listening to good vocalists (of any genre) being an aspiring singer myself, even I don't care much for the song. I might just listen to the song once, wowed, but not go back to it for months.

[radioactivez0r]

In SI's College Footall rankings, there was a link to a video of a player from last week's game with the link titled "Mute is recommended". Turns out the maker of the video used Symphony X' "Inferno (Unleash the Fire)" as his song for the video, and it was getting universally panned. I mean...Symphony X is hardly harsh on the hears, and yet nobody could be bothered to listen to it. Maybe he should have used the solo section instead?

[tundra]

For some reason I listen to a large variety, encompassing say from classical, folk, country to pop, rock, etc. as long as it has a good melody and reasonable lyrics...

...though I can barely stand metal nor rap. I just really don't like it. A few friends who are seriously into metal have recommened stuff to me and now I've given up trying to listen to anything that somewhat has a tag on it that resembles "metal". :o

[Guido]

Complex and layered is the best description I think. It needs to be fluid and changing uniquely. Repetitious pop stuff doesn't quite do it for me. When talking to my friends about it, I've compared it to staring into a light. After awhile, you just become numb to it.

I've never gotten into music because most of the stuff I hear is crap. I don't mind listening to certain types of classical (has to be a moody minor piece.) and I just started listening to Daft Punk (exception to what I said above I guess) at work while I code, but it's not something that I'd listen to normally. I have no idea what it is about that music, but it helps me concentrate and focus on my programming.

[Firelie]

I tend to go for music that has vocals, but lyrics that I don't understand. I've been really into nordic modern folk music for a while (lots of fiddles and weird instruments and complex harmonies and shit)...I can't understand a lot of what is being said, but I think that helps me make my own emotional connection to the song. I don't always need vocals, though. Sometimes a blend of instruments telling a story say more than a voice can.

[Rei]

Basically anything that really draws out emotions.

I like anything from jazz, classical, contemporary, R&B, to folk music, to rap, rock and occasionally metal...
I'm very picky about anything with vocals though. I'm really keen on exceptional voices (and voices that match the style of music they're singing). However, I don't really pay attention to the words often until I like it enough to listen to it A LOT of times, then I eventually pick up on the lyrics. I'm also a little picky about jazz, but I don't have enough musical knowledge to go very far with that one.

It really depends on my mood...

[Cato the Younger]

My musical tastes range from Metal to Classical to normal popular music. I like just about anything. Though, I vehemently hate country music. It hurts me. I also don't tend to like Emo music, but I do like some hip-hop. I think it's the beats.

My tastes range as such:

The last one always amused me. The story behind it was so funny.

Sorry for the double post, but I was wondering if my tastes make me strange even by INTJ standards?

[Rei]

Not at all...
Have you read MY range of music taste?
classical, jazz to R&B to rock, metal =/

I must say, although I used to hate country, I've grown to... er... bear it since I go to an agricultural studies dominate university. We have tonnes of people who burst out singing country when they're drunk... so you can imagine how often that happens.

[Cato the Younger]

I live in North Louisiana. I have to hear country music all the time. It is like an unpleasant assault on my ears. I'll hate it till the day I die.

[Rei]

Yikes, I feel for you.

I'd still hate it if it were not so FUNNY. Seriously, drunkards holding up beer bottles, standing in a row with their arms around eachother's shoulders singing country... it's CLASSIC ;D

[The Rose]

The words in a song are the most important thing for me.
I like songs that make me feel something.

[Firelie]

Jezebel, every time I see your name in the forums, I get a song stuck in my head from my current musical obsession. Sigh.

[Doppelbock]

Put me down for complex and layered, as well.

To be specific, I'm a big fan of progressive rock: Rush (my fav), Porcupine Tree, pre-suckage Genesis (i.e., anything before about 1983), Yes, Pink Floyd, Spock's Beard, Neal Morse, The Flower Kings, etc. . . .

Also: I hereby assert that Weird Al Yankovic is a genius.

[rwyatt365]

Ah music!

I listen to just about anything except what passes for country these days. As a youth in college i listened to Rock ("back in the day" that was the Stones, Led Zepplin, Yes, Frank Zappa - all when they were brand new). My tastes changed to jazz; Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Weather Report. But I had a few "odd" albums (yes, that means vinyl); Country Joe and the Fish, Osibissa, The Last Poets, Mahavishnu Orchestra. There was my classical period; Bach, Handel, Heinicken (the Swedish composer, not the beer). And my gospel period; Mississippi Mass Chior, Helen Baylor, Take Five.

Now, I've mellowed into Smooth Jazz (yes, it's sometimes banal, but it is smooth!), New Age (Phillip Glass, Origa), blues (Muddy Waters, Benny King old-school Fleetwood Mac), and classical (Telemann, Praetorious and good old Handel).

[Guido]

I worked with a guy who listened to country. Ever since I heard him playing "Save a horse, ride a cowboy" in his car (and enjoying it mind you) I haven't been able to take him seriously since.

[qwerty]

lol country is my kryptonite! Sort of like you Rei I went to a Agricultural Boarding School and all of the boarders loved to play to the image of being as country as possible (we're talking Drysabones, Akubras, Big Belt Buckles and fancy boots - most of them were farmers) this meant that country rang out through the halls.

Myself I will listen to anything that I hear (apart from country) and enjoy it.

[StJimmy]

heh. i grew up in louisiana. i hate country music. among other things about louisiana.

anyway my musical tastes are wide-ranging, though they are primarily the product of the early to mid 90's, with a strong salting of classic rock.

i'm more punk than metal. and i don't care for "rap" at all. hip hop, yes.

for me lyrics are the whole point of music.

[The Rose]

My favorite music is Top 40 hits, mostly from the 60s and 70s.
I like Classic Top 40 Hits from any era really.

My mom loves "hillbilly" music so I was exposed to it a lot as a kid.
I don't dislike it, but it's not my favorite.
I actually perform Country music with my father, and with my mother (separate venues)
so I guess I don't mind it as much as you guys do.
What I love about Country music is that it's still okay to sing about God and Country.
As I said before, the words are the most important thing to me,
so I tend to prefer songs with a meaningful message.

LOL!
Yeah, we have line dancing nights at the pub and everything... People in those checkered plaid shirts, cowboy hats and boots and all...

[lollercancer]

there's nothing i hate more than bland, popular music.

My three favorite genres seem to be stoner rock, trance, and what i can best describe as videogame-classical :-p

I don't usually care at all for vocals, i find it to be like crappily made poetry, really terrible stuff.
I'll listen to rammstein and be very happy that i don't know what they are singing about. foreign voices work themselves into music as if they were an instrument themselves.

Trance almost never has vocals, but rather wonderful melodies that you can almost focus on.

my favorite music, though, comes from Josh Homme. ( To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. )
He's a guitarist and singer for Queens of the Stoneage and i could SWEAR he was an INTJ. These are the only lyrics i've ever been able to listen to and understand. Not your average love song! :-p

[Rei]

I can relate in terms of the foriegn voices. I used to listen to Japanese music... and had no clue what they were saying.

Views on Rammestein are usually pretty extreme...
I like them a lot myself =/

videogame classical = video game OST
A friend of mine sent me the halo OST... and maybe it's just because I play the game... but that's some good music ;D

my favorite osts include halo 2 ( i actually hated the multiplayer in the game, though), ffx, shadow of the collosus, and es: Oblivion. metroidmetal.com is very good, too. I don't even think it's the emotion left over by the game, but that good musicians never really get to make a soundtrack that caters to an expressionist forest or any of the other wacky environments and moods that come up in a game.

[Tarrick]

Apparently I never posted here....

I like a lot of composed music, ranging from Movie and Anime scores to classical pieces. For genres...there is not real consistency, just what I like.

For bands, I really like Within Temptation and Masterplan.

I usually end up playing multiplayer though because my dad keeps wanting to play with. But yeah... it was a good soundtrack...

Best anime composer ever: Yoko Kanno. Her husbands' strings compositions are pretty wicked too...

[Tarrick]

I mostly agree Rei, but Sahashi Toshihiko did a bang up job on the Gundam SEED/Destiny tracks. And Kajiura Yuki is by no means a slacker either.

[Rei]

yeah that's basically what I have on my OST track list

Joe Hisashi - classic anime composer... though i think he's starting to get a little repetitive.
I also think the person who work on one of the RRK's (movies?) soundtrack did a pretty good job. I don't know how, but i have it hanging around and it's just really good

[lollercancer]

yokko kanno is good stuff, i have a bunch of the Ghost in the Shell albums.

[rwyatt365]

I like Yokko Kanno, and it's through the GITS tracks that I got introduced to Origa. Somehow, her vocals don't annoy me (maybe because I don't understand the language).

It also helps that she has some non-language vocals. Those are actually quite interesting... sometimes I look up the lyrics and decipher the meaning.

She also did the OST for Escaflowne and Wolf's Rain...
It does help that the anime is great in the first place... but that's for another topic.

apart from not living in lousiana, I agree whole-heartedly with your stance on country music.

[Ijz]

My taste ranges from metal, rock and punk, which I guess it pretty average. However, I have noticed that songs with some kind of humorous content gain bonus points on my charts. In my case this seems to be 1-0 for the lyrics, however I couldn't care less for the lyrics of pretty much any other song.

I'm actually really curious about the following. What if a songwriter is also an INTJ, would this cause me to like his/her song more? He/she would probably write stuff that would be closer to my inner-world right?

Long live Weird Al (could he be a INTJ?)

[Jbmontag]

My musical taste is a bit all over, this is a pretty accurate sample of bands and people I like...

Bad Religion, Descendents, Black Flag, The Pixies, Morrisey, Rancid, Operation Ivy, Sublime, Screeching Weasel, Sam Cooke, The Vindictives, The Misfits, Pink Floyd, The Doors, Janis Joplin, The Mama's & Papa's, Mazzy Star, Citizen Fish, J Church, Agnostic Front, Tool, Krs One, Beastie Boys, The Germs, Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen, Elvis Presley, Nirvana, Cake, Bobby Bland, The Carpenters, The Cars, XTC, Social Distortion, Oingo Boingo, NOFX, Bloodhound Gang, Slick Rick, Nine Inch Nails, Minor Threat, Ministry, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, The Temptations, Portishead, Metallica, Frank Zappa, Violent Femmes, Jane's Addiction, Dead Kennedy's, Stevie Wonder, Talking Heads, Sonic Youth, Helmet, Frente, Al Green, Marvin Gaye, Kenny Rogers, Billy Joel, The Eagles, B.B. King, Etta James, Louis Armstrong, Black Sabbath, The Supremes, Hagfish, Rolling Stones, Sade, Faith No More, Frank Sinatra, Jim Croce, Grateful Dead, MC5, New York Dolls, Richard Hell, The Offspring, Pantera, The Four Tops, The Platters, Simon & Garfunkel, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Butt Trumpet, The Temptations, Prince, Public Enemy, Rage Against The Machine, Cat Stevens, Blondie, Depeche Mode, Mozart, Sloppy Seconds, Chopin, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Wagner

[toonia]

My interest in music is broad, but prefers classical and some folk traditions from around the world. Commercialized music doesn't typically appeal to me. Music is my life, and so i am deeply immersed in it - primarily western European classical, but I am also fascinated by Asian classical and most any sincere expression of humanity.

I find an especially strong connection with music that is linear and builds up momentum over time. Later developments in Minimalism are especially appealing because of this. Minimalism uses phase shifting in which patterns of varying lengths come in and out of phase. When this occurs on multiple levels and there is a climax in which everything comes into phase, it can be mesmerizing. John Adam's Shaker Loops and some of Philip Glass' work are examples. Lately I've become focused on Chopin again as i have a CD with Rubenstein performing. Chopin also has a strongly linear quality, although it is of a different nature.

I appreciate music that evokes the same responses in me as nature does. When patterns are fluid, organic, but related to a unified whole, when the nuance and layers are complex beyond my conscious perceptions, when there is momentum and force behind this constant interplay of random and structured pattern, then I am deeply moved.

[biased]

I like a lot of jazz and funk influence in what I'm listening to but I am constantly looking for novelty so I switch it up with classical :thumbsup:.

For example, I really enjoy Jamiroquai.

[thegnat]

some classical to some rap to some (very little, but it has to be mellow) pop, alternative, to some reggae, to some latin (and just about any type in latin-from Spain or latin america), rock, some (very little) country, foreign languages aside from spanish i'll listen to some too if i run across it, etc....wide wide wide variety....

no heavy metal, punk, emo(unless i'm in a really strange mood).....

[melon]

I'm really not sure what specific genres I like, but I've noticed I like some ambient, instrumental, electronic, classical, and symphonic music. I can't stand rap, hip hop, country, pop, or anything that involves screaming. I generally don't like music to have lyrics unless they're in a foreign language, they're soft and quiet, or they add a lot to the song. Intrument-wise, I like the sound of violins, cellos, pianos, and acoustic guitars.

Another kind of music that I like is certain video game music. I have no idea why, but there is something about some video game music, especially in games like Zelda or Final Fantasy, that I really like. Maybe it's the lack of vocals or the fact that each song usually has a very specific theme. Sadly, I haven't been able pinpoint exactly what genre video game music belongs to. The music in this video (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.), which is the intro video to Chrono Cross (great game, by the way) is a good example of the style I like. If anybody could tell me which genre that style of music would belong to, I'd be happy to know. :)

Nice video btw ;D

Its often impossible to find an exact label for any song. Most of the time its labeled by a whole bunch of tags. I would label this as "instrumental", "violin", "video game" with a pinch of doodlesack.

I highly recommend this site for exploring your musical tastes:

I think the best music is without lyrics, like classical music with cellos and pianos etc. and also some sorts of techno, psychadelic, basically anything thats sort of ambient. Like this one: To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. Altough I mostly listen to different sort of metalish music probably most industrial metal or different sorts of rock. To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater.

Hiphop, rap and anything like popular music is a big no-no but sometimes some of that slip through my ears but I always get frustrated by that sort of music really quickly.

[Iannus Quirinus]

EDIT: oops posted in the wrong topic

Well, now that the crime is done, I might as well as post something about my musical taste. ;)

I mainly like metal and agree with most of Jezebel's post on it.
From metal, I enjoy atmospheric, melodic metal. Folk metal, power metal, progressive... something like that - but I do like all the other sorts of metal too. :)

Of the other music, again, I like to listen to atmospheric/ambiental music, jazz/swing/etc., soundtracks from movies/anime/games, and lots of other things.

I don't like rap much, but if I find a nice song, I may keep it in my playlist for a short while. And we have something here that might be an equvalent to your Country music, and argh I hate it and don't understand how can some people listen to it at home. I can stand it when going out, even sing some of the better songs if the mood is right, but that's it.

[mind_wander]

I like hip-hop, R&B, instrumental [one's without words in them, not referring to heavy metal], old classics, C-Pop, etc. Everyone has different varities and taste with music; it does appeal to me.

[Chainsaw Dundee]

It has to have substance, depth, and soul. Lyrics don't really matter. It's more how you present the lyrics, I think. I can't stand music that is just a guy singing and strumming 3 chords on an acoustic guitar.

The Black Album by Metallica is by far my favorite album. In fact, I think the lead singer/songwriter of Metallica might be an INTJ, but Im not positive.

I think you guys would like this song

Ah yes the Black Album, definitely one of my favorites as well. Just started listening to it and I'm really getting that "bad-ass" vibe again. In contrast to what I wrote earlier I now have to agree with most of you that the lyrics are mostly "unimportant". But for me there are a few exceptions.

One of them is Rammstein. Although I'm not German I live in a neighboring country and can speak the language pretty well. I find some the lyrics absolutely hilarious and they invoke certain images in my mind. In one of the songs they constantly say "Buck dich" which means "Bend over". Just the thought of saying such a thing in a song makes me giggle :)

Another one is The Offspring. The pace they got in their music just seems to match my own so perfectly. And their lyrics are really good and often show have ridiculous life really is.

[AJ]

My favorite music is by The Smiths, I think the lead singer, Morrissey is probably INTJ imo. A also like the Cure and old music such as The Beatles and Frank Sinatra.

[HarleyQuinn]

Mmm... everything from metal to musical scores.

A sampling of my favorite bands...
- Metallica
- Oasis
- Nirvana
- Within Temptation
- Unfinished Thought (A great 2 person DIY atmospheric gothic band)
- Offspring
- Black Sabbath
- Alanis Morissette
- Fiona Apple

[cielo market]

I think it's safe to say that INTJ's enjoy the entire spectrum of music genres. Although I'm seeing a lot of dislike for country lol
I'm pretty much the same, I could be listening to Imogen Heap one minute and Korn the next.

[BloozeGit]

It seems like I'm going against the trend (isn't that an INTJ thing?), but here goes anyway...

My first love is blues of the more traditional kind, like the Delta/Chicago/Piedmont/West Coast sound. From there I've gone on to develop a keen interest in country, bluegrass/old-time, cajun/zydeco and some jazz. I can pretty much appreciate most forms of folk/traditional music, be it Irish or African.

Music to me has to be honest and unpretentious. The musicians I love can say a lot more with one note than most can with a thousand. Bum notes, scratchy recordings or out-of-tune guitars are not a big deal to me, I can live with those 8-) It's the million-notes-per-second ones that annoy me.

[logan235711]

all kinds of music--it can be fun to explore different styles and compositions of music : ) i might be a bit pretentious and say I have a wider and larger collection of music than about everyone here, although I can count numerous areas that I still haven't fully delved into yet--there's only so much time!

[Copperhead]

Kids, I think we can probably all dig technical death metal -- check out the new Defeated Sanity 'Psalms of the Moribund' on grindethic.co.uk -- but certainly one thing that has not yet been touched on is mathcore: anyone here familiar with The Dillinger Escape Plan or Creation is Crucifixion? It's all pretty good shit.

In contrast, Portishead are nice, and I feel evoke complex notions of riding trains into New Orleans. Perhaps one of us will favour us with something else from the trip hop genre -- I like Neverwood, but am not all that familiar with them -- or are they more synth pop?

[bucolic_]

The Black Album by Metallica is by far my favorite album. In fact, I think the lead singer/songwriter of Metallica might be an INTJ, but Im not positive.

Ah yes the Black Album, definitely one of my favorites as well. Just started listening to it and I'm really getting that "bad-ass" vibe again. In contrast to what I wrote earlier I now have to agree with most of you that the lyrics are mostly "unimportant". But for me there are a few exceptions.

have you seen their live performance of buch dich? :o

[bucolic_]

As for the music I like, I listen to tons of different kinds. I tend to go through phases, in the past I've been on a classic rock binge, underground hip-hop binge, and a classical music binge.

Right now I'm listening to a lot of folk music, folk is a really broad term, but I like a lot of bluegrass/americana, and eastern european folk. Hackensaw Boys, Beirut, Will Oldham and Devotchka are getting a lot of plays. Also getting into Tom waits who could sorta be considered folk.

Also listening to a lot of post-hardcore / metalcore / mathcore. Hmm, Dillenger Escape Plan, Snapcase, Boysetsfire, Every Time I Die, He is Legend, Thrice, A Dozen Furies... Strange combo with the folk, but I really am liking these bands a lot.

[Ijz]

[maai]

As a whole - I prefer structured, layered and complex. Good example is Pachelbel, The Doors, Iron Butterfly.

Enjoy: Lake 50's, 60's, "acid" rock, bobby vinton, the carpenters, mc5, joan jett, joan osbourne, kenny g, louis armstrong, nat king cole, sarah evans, bon jovi, journey, the who, simon & garfunkel, mozart and beethoven violin, kitaro, some yanni, and even (shudder) some opera.

Laugh at ACDC and Sam Kennison (must be my "dark side")

Do not like chaotic, rap, heavy metal, holiness and bluegrass, country western.

Is this just a thing with INTx's? Other people doen't understand how I can jump back and forth.

[Epicurus]

I'm pretty much the same, I could be listening to Imogen Heap one minute and Korn the next. I'd rather listen to my mums music (To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. and so on) than to the biggest crapload - country.

[HarleyQuinn]

Is this just a thing with INTx's? Other people doen't understand how I can jump back and forth.

I understand. I'll find myself going through a month or two where I'm completely fixated on a kind of music, than go back to disliking it and jumping onto a different style. Last year I really started getting into the blues and then two months later I was jumping into Irish folk music. I need to get back into blues and more Miles Davis...

[Lumbering Jack]

I like exploring music, without concern for what other people think. As such, I'll happily listen to a Spice Girls album, or an old 1940s country music album, a children's song, Hillary Duff or Leonard Cohen. I just like to really listen to everything and try to get a snapshot of the era or what's going through the composers head. I remember listening to Britney Spears "Hit Me Baby One More Time" a dozen times in a row, just trying to figure out the lyrics. Yeah, I can find fascination in anything.
But still, I do have my favorites...
Sting/The Police
Sheryl Crow
Leonard Cohen
New wave-era music filled with wierd sounds and themes
Concrete Blonde
Bjork
Blue Oyster Cult

[snoogit]

I've had a lot of people start throwing daggers down my throat when I say it but, I haven't actively listened to music since the 7th grade.

What do I mean by "actively?" I mean I haven't sought it out. I listen to it, but only if its in a movie, in the background at a shopping center, perhaps as an introduction to a radio show. A lot of times however I find I'm turned off by all forms of music. I'll find places to get away from music, turn on my radio to NPR, and forget the event ever happened. Why did I develop this odd abstinence to music? I don't know. I put up a resistance to it like I put up resistances to harmful things like fire, or irrational thought.

[OFL]

I like Rock (70's - 90's, Punk, very few new bands are worth listening to), Techno (Techno, House and 90's Dance), and some R&B or Underground Hip Hop. I find a very, very limited amount of Rap to sound good. I hate POP, and mainstream Hip Hop.

If you like Progressive Rock you have to give Dredg a listen. I have listened to these guys for over ten years now. I listened to them when they were just a garage band. They have had several CD's released and there is not one song i dislike from them. I have talkd to the band before they signed onto Interscope records and the lead singer is a INFJ, but don't hold it agaisnt him. He is very talented with lyrics and his voice is almost Angelic (not religious, just a good description). The rest of the band are SP types, but they are very cool guys, and make beautiful music. If you do listen to them it is a must to read about the band and their inspirations to get a full picture oft he band. There might be an age limit to who this music sounds good to because there fan following seems to be in the 20's to early 30's, but you can judge for yourself if you like.

Other bands i currently listened to;
Old Metallica, new Metallica sucks
Journey
Variety of 80's music (Genesis, Phil Collins (by himself), TOTO, Music Like this)
Dredg
Incubus
UB40 ( these guys are awesome)
The Offspring (older stuff)
Tool (very good band)

there is more, but i can't think right now, i'm starving.

OFL 8-)

[TruorTupnm]

Wow. Every time that someone asks me what kind of music I listen to, I always say, "All kinds of stuff. Anything hummable, foot-tappable, head-bangable. Anything from opera to rap. Anything but country." Most don't believe that or just think that I have no taste. But no. It's pretty much the same as what most here are writing about. Huh. I thought that I was the only one. Also, I am not a large fan of the words. Don't attempt to listen to them. In country music, that is a bit harder. Mayhaps that's why I hate it. But then, there is the rare singer that has an achingly beautiful voice. Ah. But then again, I never remember any of the names of songs or singers or composers or bands or whatever else. I'll only buy good games or soundtracks. Whoops.

[Rohsiph]

I've noticed a trend where I'll only end up "exploring," at most, about half a dozen bands/artists over the course of a year. However, I'll track down just about everything each of those bands/artists ever recorded, and will often travel up to 200 miles to see them if they're active.

I'm interested to hear what board members think of By the End of Tonight:To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 2 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.

Broke my wallet to see them last night for the third time since April. They played for an audience that dwindled down to about 5 by the end of their set . . . but still kept up their high-intensity stage presence, regardless.

I probably like music of every genre, although I have yet to explore country, current rap, or commercialized pop in depth. The most popular music I have been listening to recently is either Via Audio or Russian Circles--both have some of their better songs on myspace.

[Gaston]

I'm a metalhead, why that is is a complicated question. Basically i think i was always wired that way, even as a kid. Probably a personality flaw :P

Fave bands include Opeth, Arch Enemy (esp. with Johan Liiva), Nightwish, Iced Earth, Nevermore and After Forever.

[Wolfie]

Lyrical content doesn't sway my opinion of music. I can think the lyrics are cheesy, vehemently disagree with the message, or not be able to understand the lyrics at all and still enjoy the music. Good lyrics are nothing more than a bonus, and I'm actually surprised that it factors into so many people's criteria for whether or not they like a song.

I like music that is very powerfully and emotionally expressive through sound. This covers a broad range of music though. I consider metal to be extremely emotionally expressive (or at least powerfully so), and that's my favorite genre overall. I can also be drawn toward very soft music, in particular, I really like the sound of violins and cellos.

The disregard for lyrics could in part be from the thinking or intuitive preferences. I don't look for music that matches my personal values or has lyrics that I can relate to. Only the mood I interpret from the song matters, and the way the instruments are arranged to create that mood.





I like that, but for me it depends on what music it is and what I'm looking for in it. In hip-hop I only look for the feel. *I love the beat that pulls me off my chair (I do dance. Hip-Hop, Jazz, and took some ballroom). *
I think though in music like Bright Eyes, Arcade Fire, Tom Waits, and Louis Armstrong it is the lyrics you look for because, even though the music is complementary, the words by themselves are the subject.

For what drives me to my types of music I don't know. My parents raised me playing classical music on the piano, but now that I have found Scott Joplin and ragtime It is all that I want to play.

So I suppose that means I have a very wide range in musical taste? I don't like country or heavy metal though...

[True Brit]

Personally, I like rock music. Especially from the 70's and 80's. My favorite band is Led Zeppelin. I've also go into Ayreon here recently. Youtube Isis and Osiris and listen to the song, it is amazing! For some unknown reason, I've also been listening to some hip hop lately. I guess T-Pain grows on you.

[Aoiluna]

Yea I love classic rock, its what I grew up on. I love most rock music and yea some hip hop and pop tends to grow on you. Personally, I think that most of the new rock these days all sounds the same and is really boring. My top 5 bands (which change) are usually Rush, Led Zeppelin, Goo Goo Dolls, Van Halen, and Metallica. These of course change almost every day.

[DeepPurple]

I listen to a bunch of different stuff. The only type of music I listen to rarely is probably gospel, metal and reggae. I have a pretty strong appreciation for oldies. I can easily go from Vienna Teng to Kanye West to Josh Groban to Linkin Park to Goo Goo Dolls to Dj Tiesto to Utada Hikaru to R.E.M.etc. It really depends on what mood I'm in and my moods change frequently.

[Splittet]

The base of my music taste is kind of modern prog, and then I guess I just go from there, and listen to lots of stuff that is related to it. I am not so much into technical music, as I am into the emotional and often melancholic stuff. I love sophistication in music, but in an organic way, the technical way just becomes too cold, and it doesn't move me. Some modern prog favourites are Tool, Opeth or Porcupine Tree. I kind of have a special relationship to Mozart, and listen to some classical music, but not much. I enjoy Nick Drake immensely and some other singer-songwriters. I am into some alternative rock and indie, like Neutral Milk Hotel or Denali. Some of the old progressive stuff is great, like Pink Floyd or Yes. And then you have some great experimental and post-rock bands, like maybe Sigur Rós or Ulver. Some jazz, although I am not too much into it. I have been listening too much to rock, so jazz is not rough enough on my ears. Right now I am listening to the BE album by Pain of Salvation, which is another ingenious band.

[Hdier]

I listen to songs that make me feel. I enjoy "The Battle Hymn of the Republic", because it puts me in a certain mood (I especially like listening to it during first-person shooters). I also like many Christian songs such as "Shout to the Lord", because they inspire me to do things, and I gain 'energy' from them.

But most of all, I like the Mercedes Lackey songs based on Valdemar. They make me feel intense emotion, and the rhythms sound awesome.

Other than that, I'm pretty sparatic and unorthodox. Though, I suppose that the songs I mentioned are onorthodox for a High-Schooler.

[Pinkie]

I would say that my first love is classical music (English twentieth century and renaissance/early baroque being my particular favourites), but I like bits of pretty much everything else too. I especially love Rush (Limelight is possibly the best song EVER), because they have clever lyrics. Other than that I listen to various 'poppy' things. And Elvis. Elvis is the King, y'all.

[danalaina]

What do you listen to?

a little of everything. i can't think of a type of music that's not in my collection, though i'm sure there's something.

what seems to draw me most is polyphonic layering and heavily syncopated rhythms.

[zero]

I actually enjoy quality music and thats sonic complexity and articulate rhythms. But I can't stand country, metal, pop, folk and all those dj-something guys.

I thought I would never meet anyone with such a broad taste in music as I but I guess I haven't met an INTJ yet in person :D

[BadMojo]

I listen to everything from Rammstein to Celine Dion... The only things I don't listen to are: rap, techno, rave, dance and something called "dansk top".

[Ytterbium]

I like electronic music. Mostly EBM, futurepop, new wave, industrial electro, ambient, new age. Then I must admit there are some really crap electronic music which equals everything played on commercial radio.
Kraftwerk is one of the greatest. A machines does not have feelings nor INTJ's.

*dances like a robot*

[Hdier]

I just realized that I really like it when the percussion section has a bigger role. For an extreme example, I really loved the drums you heard in Pirates of the Carribean: The Curse of the Black Pearl when Jack was about to be hung.

[binofhay]

I listen to everything from Rammstein to Celine Dion... The only things I don't listen to are: rap, techno, rave, dance and something called "dansk top".

I take it this means you don't like Slagsmålsklubben? Jeg elsker :lovestruck: SMK, even though they aren't popular in the US.

[Obstinate]

My tastes are rather varied. For the most part, Indie and Underground Hip-Hop, but I also often listen to 60s Sunshine Pop songs, Classic Rock, Alternative, Old School Hip-Hop, Post-Rock, singer-songwriters, etc. But by far, my absolute favorite musician is Elliott Smith.

[Oica]

There seems to be alot of progressive and instrumental going around.

I'm not sure what we're talking about, so here is a wall of text.

Genres: Instrumental Rock, Rock, Alternative, Metal, some J-Pop, Video Game Music, Trance...

The Wallflowers, Foo Fighters, Audioslave, Metallica, Black Sabbath, My Chemical Romance, Van Halen, Machinae Supremacy, Hell is for Heroes, Disturbed, Daft Punk, A Perfect Circle, Matchbook Romance, Grand Funk Railroad, Black Sun Empire, Cake, Jimi Hendrix, Keiko Kobayashi, Jun Ishigawa, Hubnester, The Panic Channel, Five Legged Puppies, Russell Shaw, Ryuichi Takada, The Blues Brother Band, TM Revolution, Nami Tamaki, Tanaka Rie, Fiction Junction, Joe Satriani, Killswitch Engage, Smashing Pumpkins, Interpol, Avenged Sevenfold, Lostprophets, Bob Dylan, Do As Infinity, Above and Beyond, Maor Levi, Breakfast...

I agree with the music you don't like.
Country music has got to be the worst type of music there is.

[OmegaPsi]

I like ANY type of music except,

German Death Metal [Ramstein], and that whole 'gangster' rap thing. Also that hispanic mirachi [sp?] music bothers me too.

But so far Ive tried and liked a whole lot examples [but not liminted too...]:

German Gothic,Techno,Trance,African Tribal,Japanese Rock[My favorite!],20s,40s,50s,60s,70s,80s...

[Aoiluna]

I especially love Rush (Limelight is possibly the best song EVER), because they have clever lyrics.

I agree, Rush is probably my favorite band because theyre enjoyable and they usually have the best lyrics. I used to just listen to music for the instrumental side, but I have started to take a liking towards songs with great lyrics.

[BadMojo]

I take it this means you don't like Slagsmålsklubben? Jeg elsker :lovestruck: SMK, even though they aren't popular in the US.

Rammstein is just Industrial Metal.

oooh baby CLASSIC ROCK!!!
The Eagles
The Who
Aerosmith
Foreigner
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
The Police
Bad Company (my favorite song ever "the boys are back in town")

Gosh, how can you not like those????

[BlackHawk]

Has anyone mentioned Jazz?
I especially enjoy stuff like Charlie Parker with long alto/tenor saxophone solo strings.
His notes say as much as anyone's words, and plus it's just general "take it easy" music.

[Bear Warp]

I listen to music that naturally projects a definite emotion or feeling.

My favorite bands are Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, and Big Black. I like to think that these bands, in general, showcase three basic human emotions: sadness, happiness, and anger (respectively). Joy Division is cold, My Bloody Valentine is warm, and Big Black is raw and brutal. I listen to plenty of other bands and artists, but I always go back to these three. They never get stale (for me, at least).

[Obstinate]

I've fallen in love with string sections, and horn sections. Especially in Pop/Rock/Indie songs. Like Jon Brion, Elliott Smith, etc. Any others out there that do something similiar?

[xhaan]

My roommate asked me a couple days ago why I listen to what I do (I think Suffocation was on), and I didn't really have an answer. I vaguely remember how I got into it - Usenet bombarded me with people far more knowledgeable than I, but even the first few things I tried completely turned me off - Entombed, a compilation with Cryptopsy/Carnal Forge/Naglfar, even my Sepultura tape made no sense. Then one day...it sort of clicked. I'm not sure what caused it, though. It was a completely different listening experience compared to anything I'd heard before, and maybe I just wasn't prepared for it right away. To that end, I can empathize with anyone who hears it and thinks it's just awful.

I'm the same in regard to lyrics, with the exception of Weird Al and bands like the Aquabats. I just don't care, and if they aren't contributing something to the sound, they may as well not be there. Sarah had me listen to something while we were discussing music; she asked me what I thought, and I told her that if the guy singing would shut the hell up, it wasn't bad. Good music doesn't let the vocals get in the way, because it's GOOD MUSIC. I don't think my appreciation for classical, or Celtic stuff, or vocal work, has anything to do with that though. You know what....I think you explained it pretty well already. No need to beat a dead horse :)

Hmm. Yes. The thing with music, 'good' music anyway, is that you must LISTEN, and not just simply hear it. Some music is fit for just hearing, i.e. trite elevator music, something that is just generally soothing when you aren't paying attention. But to really appreciate music is to throw away all you know, and really listen to how it makes you feel, without any preconceptions about it.

[DeadSpace]

Metal, melodic, beat/riff change ups, complex. tool, old metalica, evanescence, the haunted, endrone, evolocity, breaking benjamin, submersed, evergrey, the butterfly effect, etc, those styles. Some current faves i click on just to hear in playlist, instead of waiting...Evolocity~Dark, Submersed~Hollow, Five Finger Death Punch~The Bleeding, and Endrone~Broken Eyes

[Xenolar]

I enjoy virtually any music produced in Europe between 1703 and the mid-19th century. Some early 20th century Russian composers are also quite enjoyable to listen to. I also like folk music Eastern-European, Middle-Eastern, and Jewish origin. Although don't enjoy listening to it very much, I have a great appreciation for Jazz, due to the immense technical skill.

[Ace1337]

I listen to Rock and roll from the 60s and the 70s like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors...
From the 80s to now I only listen to U2 and some instrumental geniuses like Yanni, Vangelis...
I also like classical music, Mozart, Beethoven, Bach..

I hate simple music like Rap, or Techno, or the Folk shit that is so pupular in my retarded contry, there is a Folk kind of music in my contry that's good, Its called Sevdah, but the folk music now is mixed with techno beats and has some really retarded and funny lyrics

[David]

I listen to everything except Opera, Classical or old school country music

[lordrrr]

I always tell people, I don't like music, I like songs.


If you can understand what I mean.


On my PSP (my main mp3 player) I have no band that has three songs or more (except Hideki Naguma, but even then I only have three of his songs). So like, I'm not into certain bands, genres, singers, artists, beats, or anything of the sort really. I just like good songs. Anything that makes me happy. My faviorites are quite varied.

Heres some of the songs I have on my PSP to give you an idea:

- Little Things
- Humming the Baseline
- Hand Clap
- Circle Circle Dot Dot
- I love love you
- Irreplaceable
- Scotty Doesn't Know
- Check Up On It
- Perfect Day
- Bam Bam
- Caribou Lou


ETC ETC ETC

I guess you could say I'm a techno fan, along with reggae and calypso, but really I just go for anything.

[schmidt]

I've have certain interest in minimalistic electronic music mainly the old sort, think DAF. And alot of EBM, simply rhytms, march tempo and easy to walk to. And then there's the typical straight on electronica, mainly Kraftwerk. And experimental electronic music Neubauten, Laibach. Laibach especiallt for what they do to typical pop songs. And classical music, Mozart and Bach comes high up aswell as chopin.

Last but not least, I do really enjoy Ludovico Einaudi, quite repetetive with small nuances creating a sort of meditative aura over the whole thing.

Bottom line: I like music that doesn't need to much attention.
