I'm interested to know what hooks people in songs, what you look for in a certain song and what makes you either want to sway along with it or get up and dance..... Myself, it has to be very rhythmic and melodic, and the whole songs gotta flow, hence why i don't like most metal songs that randomly scream with no flow? What about you?

I have to say I find this a rather hard question.. What get's me most to like songs in the whole bunch, everything has to be right. But that's just for the part without any voice, 'cause if I don't like the voice, I probably won't like the song either. But then again, I like chaos in a song too, like MSI  _______________ "We make a living out of what we get, we make a life out of what we give." |

Complex song structure. Experimental sound. The Mars Volta for example. You may hate their sound at first, be unable to comprehend it's meaning, but careful listeners will be rewarded and enjoy it after the first few plays. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez is one of my favourite guitarists, simply because the way he plays is so creative, complex, and experimental. _______________ You are not your f***ing system specs.

Pfft.. for me, every genre has good songs and bad songs, I listen to virtually anything, and then I also hate something from every genre too.. For me it's all about the mood I'm at.. I get drawn towards certain aspects of a song by the mood I'm in while listening to it. e.g. I'm feeling sad, so I'm drawn to the singer's beautiful voice.. I'm feeling like punching my head through a wall, I look for the adrenaline rush the whole band produces.. I'm feeling like nothing seems in place, I listen to some psychedelic tunes.. There's no real limit for me here. But if I had to choose just one aspect of a song, then I'd have to say that the beat, absolutely and without doubt: the beat!  -Ataris <3 _______________ [ Honorable mentions: aph3x | Milamber | Bail Hope Belouve | Jaiko D'Kana | Rosered | JediEthic | Mike/JJ/TheKing | Kensei | Dane | Gradius | Thomas Skywalker | Pink Floyd | Setementor | Steinin | Odan-Wei ] [ Owner of: MetaDust's 500th comment! | Eica's 700th comment! | Pink Floyd's 666th, 999th, 1200th and 1337th comment! | DarkRyu's 400th comment! | Redeye's 1st comment! | Cow's 1111st comment! | Rufusan's 75th comment! | Wicek's 3300th and 3400th comment! | Dash Starlight's 2000th comment! | Piccolo's 3400th comment! | Takaru's 300th comment! | Senor Hat's 900th comment! | Rytandus' 4160th comment! | The first ever awarded, the original, the one and only, Catphin Award!!1 ] "Music expresses that which can not be put in to words but can not remain silent." |

I like music that grooves. I don't care for melodies, chords, anything - just a bassist and drummer who are well linked and communicating. Heck, I've been known to walk along grooving to play-alongs. If I can sway to it, I'll usually like it. _______________ Saving the world, one kilobyte at a time. |

I like quite a wide range of music, i would find it hard to describe exactly what it is that moves me, the music i really like quite often creates a story in my mind related to it using my imagination.. or something lol Some of my favourite bands include: Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Led Zep, Bjork, Pearl Jam, Massive attack, and well loads more heh. _______________ To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield | Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken | Rhaiko D'kana - SWTOR EU Guild Co-Founder | Is it what the teacher, teaches?

Quote: mindless noise >_> ... i will agree with you on death metal and all that, iif theres loads of growling then i just turn it straight off, BUT some metal is good, Trivium for example use an intense agressive verse followed by a damn good melodic chorus, so its not all mindless _______________ Proud owner of El Vee For's 200th Comment, and Wicek's 2600th comment DaMi3N's 400th, Trad Redav's 666th.

Not any definable thing. I can be instantly moved by the sheer ball-grip of Led Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love, the amazing interplay in Little Feat's music, the virtuosity of Charles Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, the clichéd but nice melodies of some sappy love songs, vocal harmonies of the Beach Boys, the wall of sound of Sonata Arctica, the guitar wizardry of Paco Delucia, the prog-rock thing of YES and ELP, etc. etc. etc. Besides, most music NEVER grows onto me in the first listening. I have to listen to it at least twice/thrice (even if I'd have liked it a lot from the first listening) to really get the idea. Also, good lyrics are ALWAYS a plus; nowadays they're the first thing I check when I buy a CD. _______________ Thanks to the human heart by which we live, Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and fears, To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears. |
