Everywhere we go there is always music!!! Music is all around us wether we choose what we are listening to or wether we are in the store listening to what ever they are piping through there system. My question to you is what type of music do you choose to listen to and why ? Is music a big part of your life?

I dont usually choose to listen to any. I actually enjoy the silence whenever i can grab some! I used to listen to heavy metal, and some hip hop when i listened. Sometimes i'll turn the radio on in the shower if i'm taking a nice long one alone! Once in a while i'll turn on the music i have stored on my pc. Hubby on the other hand, he will listen to the same old crap over and over and over again and it really drives me nuts. He will even blast it as if i want to hear it. HOLY HELL put your earphones on if you wanna deafen yourself.

LOL...!!! I know what you mean about the other half blasting the music and thinking that every one just wants to hear what he has to play. LOL!! I also have gotten use to always have something in the background of what I'm doing.

I enjoy a little white noise, but sometimes i just wanna sit and listen to nothing! like if i were to take relaxing bath, nothing would be awesome. However since i do not HAVE a bathtub in my apartment...... That never happens. Silence is golden!

Well, I started out with rock 'n roll, and I mean the real stuff, i.e. Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and such. Then the Motown sound took me for a while until Burt Bacharach hit the scene along with the Beatles and a group that called themselves "The Chicago Transfer Ticket". From there I moved along to Elton, Alan Parsons, Supertramp, ELO, Queen and such. Of course disco I still love. But as of the '80s, I found myself returning to my classical music roots. New Age, what I consider modern classical, took me by storm! As I've aged, I've come to realize that I can't stand hearing the same old stuff over and over again. And I have grown tired of lyrical songs because they all have the same subject. BOOORRRIIINNNGGG! So these days I listen to Yanni, earlier John Tesh, Andreas Vollenweider, Suzanne Ciani and such. Much more rewarding as I can make up my own feelings and thoughts for the music or just live through the vibes that the chords stir within my soul. I am MUCH happier since giving up the old, whiny "I can't get this", "I used to have that", "I got laid" lyrical stuff of yore.

The movie? Saturday Night Fever. And the sales of Angel's Flight suits skyrocketed. I even got one for high school graduation. And these suits are long lasting too! Mine is STILL hanging in the closet.

Guy, you still love disco? Get out!!!! That's rather a shocker. Now, I still love disco, but that's not shocking at all is it? But you? You never cease to amaze me. Gee, I'd love to stir up some chords in you.

Music for me can be of any noise or any sound, a bird chirping or a wind whispering are music to my ears already. They are nature's gifts, for us to be reminded that music has been with us ever since. But as for songs, I mostly listen to any kind but not much of those that are purely nonsense and nothing but just noise music. I prefer something that I can personally relate to, that I can adapt whenever I feel happy or sad. Whenever I'm alone, I always find myself humming something that I have heard from the noise I gather around me and then continuously play it inside my head!;)

You are so right that music can be any noise or sound from the birds chirping to the tip tapping of the rain. LOL!! Nature is the most musical of all.. LOL!! But like you when I don't have something readily playing there is stuff that is playing inside my head.

Lecanis came up with a good answer- the absence of music. That's sad. I have been a music lover forever. I listen to everything from Van Morrison to U2 to some country. A delicious musician I know has some amazing thoughtfully written stuff and his voice is heavenly- ok he's all heavenly. Music is an escape for me, it keeps me company when I'm lonely, cheers me up when I need it, makes me cry when I need to. I couldn't and wouldn't want to imagine life without it. There is nothing better than a great love song to me- ok a few other things. But a good love song comes near the top of the list. Like everything, I have an ultra romantic view of music...Don't ask me to sing though I suck...

Skinny you said it .. Music has something for everything. It's great when you are sad and you listen to a song from three days grace called "never to late" and it brings you to tears and you feel the music meld with your soul. Thank you for reminding us that music is more than just sound and notes. It has a personality.

Bella, my love, as a lot of y'all here know, I'm a music fiend! Gotta have it! I'm never without it - if it's not playing out loud, then it's playing in my head. I do really love some new stuff, and I will always love rock and roll, on the softer side, though, but I'm stuck in the music of my youth and I like it there! Music takes me away, kind of like your Calgon, and I love goin' with that flow! Music is the stuff of life and I do so love life!

You have a good point, music is everywhere. It's to a point where I notice an absence of music more than I notice music, if I'm in a store or other public place. Music is a big part of my life. My tastes in music have changed and expanded a lot over the years, to the point where there's very little music I don't enjoy *cough* rap *cough*. :P When I was very young, Native American and Irish music were the two things I remember really reveling in, because I associated them with my great-grandparents (whom I was very close to) and my heritage. When I was a little older, my music tastes expanded to take in a lot of kinds of popular music as well as music from all over the world. Now I listen to just about anything, depending on my mood. Right now Japanese music is high on my list, because of my obsession with Japanese animation, much of which has a lot of music in it. :) Music is a huge part of my life because of the effect it has on my moods, I think. I have playlists for almost every mood you can think of on my computer, so that whatever mood I'm in, there's music for it. There's also specific music for doing things like chatting, meditating, playing with my son... pretty much everything I want to do, there's music for it. And even when I'm not listening to music outwardly, there's always music playing in my head.

How true how true. I have also started to notice when there is an absence of music. I have music on all the time. LOL!! Sometimes I think that I can't function without music. LOL!! I really agree with music for moods to I have music for everything and if you noticed certain artists tend to be real good at certain types of mood music. I also tend to have music in my head. LOL!!
