My Views on Music - DWC Day 16


My views on music are broad and varied. When I choose music to listen to I usually go with what is publicly popular on the radio. I especially like The Band Perry, Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, the Black Eyed Peas, Kerli, Britney Spears, La Roux, Adele, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Alexis Jordan, LeAnn Rimes, The Fray, Linkin Park, Alicia Keys, Natasha Bedingfield, Imagine Dragons, Nickelback, Anna Nalick, Nelly Furtado, Jason Derulo, Pink, Timbaland, Zedd&Foxes, Shakira, and Justin Timberlake. I'm not a big fan of rap, the predominance of sex and violence portrayed is not fulfilling to my ears, but I do like Eminem because he is a gifted word master. I don't often choose to listen to country music, but I do like assorted songs by Tim McGraw and many others. I can enjoy classical music, but don't choose to listen to it unless I have to study. I can't stand polka music or much of anything with a banjo or bagpipes. In general, I like Mexican music, especially listening to someone that I know when they sing it.  I only want to hear Rancheras if someone is going to take me dancing to it, otherwise it's about as annoying to me as polka music is (again, unless a cutie is singing it to me). I do like modern Mexican music and can listen to it the same as I would North American radio music and often surprise myself by knowing the words. I have had times in my life where I enjoyed listening to Enya and Yanni. They're great to put the kids to sleep and to relax your mind. In general, I really appreciate songs that lift ones spirits or tell a story.
