What kind of music do you like and, more importantly, why do you like it?
What about your favorite music do you like?
(srsface, not trolling) How does it make you feel?
I'm a music student - music is what I do with my life.
Having said that, I listen to a TON of different music (except country).
Lately I've been listening to a lot of classic rock. I started listening to it because I have to learn about 10 songs to sing for a gig I have in the fall, but I really started to enjoy it. I like it because it's all very simple (4 bar phrases, fairly simple rhyme scheme, simple chord progression) but it actually elicits an emotion from the listener.
Take "Free Fallin'" by Tom Petty for example. In terms of complexity, it's very VERY simple in almost every sense of the word. What makes it good, though, is the sense of carefree living you get from listening to it.
The protagonist of the song is an asshole. He also doesn't giveAfuck. I can definitely relate to it ;)
