...far to quiet and mellow for me!
I used to listen to music ALL the time; at the very least the radio was always going in the background...
...there was live music in pubs and clubs, music in nightclubs, live concerts...loud enough to feel, the louder the better, so loud it hurt! Smash Hits on a Saturday morning, Rage at night...
These days I generally only listen to music in the car, and now I work from home I don’t get out nearly as much as I used to. I do still listen to it LOUD though.
I will listen to anything from rock and roll to pop, hard rock and country. Some Eminem brings a smile to my face, Black-eyed peas, Nickelback, Dixie Chicks, The Corrs...
I generally don’t mind the odd bit of classical, but I won’t go out of my way to listen. Show tunes don’t do much for me either. Lady Gaga doesn’t make the list, but Katie Perry does...
So what do I love? My tastes are stuck in an era that corresponds to my childhood and teens...ACDC, Cold Chisel, The Angels, Choirboys, Jimmy Barnes, Meatloaf,ABBA and a lot of the power ballads of the 80’s & 90’s...pretty much anything that I can get a really good howl going to in the car! I love to sing; yes I am awful, but alone in my car with the music turned way up I am truly happy bellowing away...
MrQ enjoys much the same, with the addition of The Doors, The Beatles and Crowded House.
My son hates “popular music”, he is into alternative, it just so happens some of what he likes has become mainstream thanks to movie soundtracks, which disgusts him! He is a complete music snob about manufactured “crap” as he calls it...but with the advent of the iPod we tend not to be subjected to it. I’m sure the same applied when I was young; I just wouldn’t have voiced it quite so forcefully to my parents!
What is your favourite type of music, artists or musical era?
I have Bieber Fever lately!
