Musical Preferences

You know what I think is important? Finding out the type of bands/music that you specifically like. Each person is different, and everyone has a slightly different taste in music, if not all forms of art, etc. If you like what's played on your local pop radio station, that's great! If you only like music that consists of cricket chirps and mandolin, well that probably exists somewhere and that is great too! But what I think is important, is to sit down and think about your musical taste preferences.

  Do you like ambient noise? Yes? No? Maybe? Do you think country songs are the bee's knees? Maybe you're secretly into 70's folk music and you just haven't found out yet!  Do you need some chugging bass lines and sultry voices in your life? Grimey hip-hop with super fast rapping? Bands with 30 person harmonies? You might like that! Or maybe Noise with abrasive sounds cutting every which way! Classic Hair-Metal Bands from the 80's? Mo-Town? Maybe you only like to listen to Toto? Do you like Punk-Ska tunes? Give 'em a try maybe you'll enjoy. Afro-Cubano Jazz? Electro-Pop? Do you think Frank Sinatra was the best singer to come around? Poppy love songs? Do you enjoy steel drums tinkling in the background? Justin Bieber hitting high notes? Toe-tappingly fun tunes? Mix-tapes from your best friends?

  The point is there is a lot out there, tons and tons of songs, thousands of bands, endless variety. Don't be afraid to dig a little deeper. But on the same note, whatever you like is all right and don't let anyone tell you differently.  Not one person. Just enjoy what you enjoy.  I can't imagine my life without music, without sound, I think its something important to have in your life.

Now how bout for some African inspired pop music with Hebrew vocals?
