Do i have a good taste of music?

yes except Trivium and Guano Apes

there's no correct answer to this. If I liked all the bands on the list I wouldn't come into here and blast "HELL YEAHHHHH", and if I disliked them all, I wouldn't condemn you and put you down for your taste.

 

If you like certain music, you like it. That's your business and no one else's...

it's all about finding what you like and what makes you feel good

Well said, im wondering if people on site like the music i like tho.

Even in the selected genres msot of the bands are weak examples of their respective genres.

Perhaps what Fri had to say was the politically correct answer. But if I was to be honest, and honesty isn't usually well received here, I would say no. This is also heavily based around the fact that I don't care for the majority of those bands and their respecitve genres. Plus, it doesn't help that most of those band names are quite cheesey. I would recommend broadening your horizons in music if that's something you're willing to do.

What Fri said is correct not just politically. All the matter is his taste of music. Only a few of those bands are really good musicians, but I do like a lot of them bands.

 

So if you wanna say in ability of how good musicianship they are from a music standpoint then no its horrible just because the fact Metallica is only band with a lot of musical talent.

 

With that said I my 2 favorite bands are on your list and I like 3 other bands quite a bit.

 

BUT ITS ALL YOUR OPION!

It's all about how you feel. Musical taste is something personal. It's not something for show, or to make you liked or not liked by others. Music is something that's supposed to make you feel comfortable. I wouldn't listen to music, straining my ears and brain, if i don't like it. Your musical horizon could be quite narrow. Mine is, but it's not because i haven't listened to any other types of bands before, it's just that I just never had that emotion when listening to their music. Musical taste isn't something for others to judge. If you don't like the music you're listening to, or that you're getting tired of listening to the same artists, you can move on to other types. But don't change what you like just because others tell you that you have a bad taste.You shouldn't be bothered when others don't like your playlist, because it's your own choice. Take recommendations from others, but if you don't like something, don't force yourself to like it.

It's actually all about those things that you have stated what music is for AND not for.

 

People actually listen to certain music because that's what they think they should like. Hence corporate mainstream brainwashing (mtv, clear channel radio, the 4 evil major labels, $$$$).

 

People also make friendships with others that like particular artists and genres. And then again some folks listen to music as a form of rebellion against others. Discussions, positive and negative, are born from these aspects of music listening.

 

Alot of people do showoff their taste in music in different forms. Sometimes for the benefit of others. Sometimes not so well. A major example of this goes beyond individuals, but online magazines, blogs, myspace, etc.

 

People also actually listen to music not just to feel relaxed or pumped up, but to explore new sounds, study, critic, and test the bounds of what they are able to listen to just for the sake and curiousity of it. Broadening the horizons sort of speak.

 

Taking recommendations from others is great. You don't have to force yourself into liking anything. Most times it's going to depend on how musically-minded a person is for one to really test out reasons why people go "ga-ga" over certain types of music. Especially if they are new to the genre or band and don't particularly care for it.

 

I try recommendations all the time and may try to revisit albums and artists from time to time that are recommended but not initially liked. For example, there have been many classic albums that I have been recommended over the years that I didn't care for or perhaps hated at first, but since have warmed up to and sometimes grown to love. I have consistently and purposely chosen to go outside my "comfort zone" to eventually discover some of the best music ever made. If I didn't, I would probably just be listening to mainstream radio stuff and be missing out on some special stuff. Music that actually tends to matter over the dollars and fame.

The thing is with most of the bands they are the thing of the moment. As soon as they stop writing music people will forget them, obviously the exception is Metallica. I mean Linkin Park has seen quite a dramatic dent in popularity because they have been out of the public eye.

 

The bands that truley reflect those of the opinion its something personal are the bands that are out of the media eye and not being SOLD to you as much anymore. The bands that stay consistently popular despite not grazzing every tv show, every magazine cover so the whole personal thing may be called into question as alot of it is down to brainwashing and personal surroundings and enviroment, therefor YES it does matter what other people listen to as u either conform or rebel.

Um, from my side, not really XD I like Korn and Slipknot though. Foo FIghters are ok. Um, but i think that everybodys music taste is unique because they have their own.

not my kind of bands (cept LP ofcourse)

I'd say it definately is about what people like. And it's also extremely healthy to check out new stuff...which people don't do enough of.

 

It is kinda hard a lot of the time, but you've just got to learn to dig for it (and I mean the general "you", not you toxic lol)

 

And I don't really like it, but if people want to bow to the big corporations and pay money so guys in suits can go buy yachts, by liking stuff like The Pussycat Dolls and buying the albums and concert tickets etc, then that's their choice...

 

 

Like someone said once: You laugh at me cause I'm different, but I laugh at you because you're all the same.

According to my own taste of music...Yers is okay, there are a few (four or five) that i dont like...but that dosnt mean you have bad taste in music. It all depends on the person who is listening to the music. Music has a way of meaning different things to different people so the opinion will change from person to person. You'll always get a mixed answer, no matter who you ask or where. It also depends on the mood of the person you are asking. People in a good mood might like different music from when they are in a bad mood. Thats how music is....it changes.....allllll the time.

I love that saying

Fribs is correct... although Stenners made some good points.

 

Broadening your musical tastes is important as well. Its something I'm trying to do more of lately.

honestly I think you should listen to everything that you like...

 

and don't care about what other people say

 

and of course it's always a good thing to be open minded for some new stuff

Agreed, agreed, ALWAYS AGREE! ^_^ ^_____^

I love how I'm seen as the unfavourable point of view on this forum let alone this topic. I guess I gotta keep it SAFE and simple (too many extreme ideas and thoughts). Not....... :-P

lol...Your just in the minority with your taste in music,so of course your gonna kind of get ganged up on. Plus,most people don't like elitest attitudes.

<begin rant>

Its not a smart move asking on here if u have a good taster 90% of the people on this forum are hypocrites when it comes to music.

 

"I can't stand mainstream radio junk!" Holy fucking shit LP is fucking mainstream as hell they were fucking nu-metal when it was popular and now are fucking pop because well its popular....

 

But there are a few none hypocrites though like Stenners who actually does not listen to LP and listen to indie music.

 

If you listen to fucking LP you fucking like mainstream fucking music god fucking damn it. Holy fucking shit.

</end rant>

It is prejudice at the beginning if you're looking at mainstream music in a certain different way. Music is individual. It shouldn't matter whether it's mainstream or not. Although there are a lot of mainstream music now that are cliche and totally bitchable, it's still stereotyping to say that mainstream music are all bad. Even thought it's difficult to refer to music specifically and so much easier to just call them "Mainstream", it's good to keep in mind that LP was also mainstream. (Now let's not bitch about LP, otherwise you shall face the wrath of LPF hell ^^)

 

Another thing, it is difficult to find a certain type of music that reaches out to you emotionally so that you completely love it. So i feel blessed that I have found mine. Of course, listening to a large variety of music is also very good, to explore other stuff, and to take recommendations. But I return to my soul point, and that is to listen to music that speaks to you and integrates a part of itself into you. To me, that's what music is about.

I wasn't ganged up on. >:o What I meant was that most here won't acknowledge or debate my more than valid points of view. And that the usual safe, typical, and/or brief answers are hailed with :clap:

 

Anyhow nothing against you, but I do see you throw the word elitist around a little much (in my face in particular). That's a little more than misconstruing who I am. I would agree I'm outspoken, but mean absolutely no harm in general if you haven't noticed.

 

elitist |əˈlētist; āˈlētist| noun a person who believes that a system or society should be ruled or dominated by an elite. • a person who believes that they belong to an elite : designers are a bunch of elitists who don't live in the real world.

 

I would tend to think I'm actually living in "the real world". I try to help open up eyes, ears, and minds if I can. Just because I try to backup my points with a bit too much thought at times doesn't = elitist. Plus I'm totally against how rigid the music industry is and believe in equality for all artists and forms of music. That's not considered elitist in terms of definition. But if you desire to tag me so go on ahead.........

listen to music that speaks to you and integrates a part of itself into you. To me, that's what music is about.

 

I can dig that.........man [:-}
