All this comes down to is what sounds good to a particular person,
some people like songs that "fun" (pop garbage), others like songs that remind you why you should kill yourself (Radiohead or other artsy bands), there are those that think more music should be about killing your neighbors' cat and pooping on it (slipknot or icp), and there's the people that need something that would make them feel tougher listening (fitty cent)

i seriously listen to everything, and everything has its place and is for somebody, but there are things that i don't enjoy as much as others, i really enjoy just a couple bands enough to buy their cds,
i've been to a ton of concerts featuring pretty much every type of band and music out there, so i've seen most of everything and the way the music interacts with the people
here is my quick guide to music i like, i don't like anything that in 10-20 years will sound like 80's music does today, just think about it like that once
i don't really like bands that don't play instruments well (there's nothing wrong with just singers if they portray themselves that way), i don't really like electronic crap, or heavy distortion, anyone can do that
i don't like when bands are political, just play f-ing music
i don't like over the top cheerleader crap music, remember life can suck sometimes
i don't like when a band just plays depressing songs, try releasing a second album once your life doesn't suck anymore and see how it plays
i listen to music to pass the time w/o killing anymore people than i like good singing voices, but it doesn't have to be perfect as long as it is powerful in its delivery, i'm not a fan of whining

i've tried listening to a lot and i still don't understand some bands, i've tried

a lot of my friends really like radiohead, i can't stand it really
way too dark for me, i figured out when i spent several months very depressed about life, that this type of shit did absolutely nothing for me
i think they have become "too cool for school" (haha i can't believe i used that) sorry i can't really hear the talent there, poor singing, musically they are ok if they tried, but i think they rested on their "critically acclaimed" laurels, the critics don't know dick (the same type of critics that put the white stripe guy on the greatest guitar player list, what a joke)

someone should tell springsteen that just because you write 10 minute songs and try to sound like dylan doesn't make a great songwriter, he has about 5 good songs, the rest sound the same
if you want to talk about politics, run for office then you can be exposed as a know-nothing blabber mouth

death metal with unintelligible lyrics i don't really get, only because it really does all sound the same

i don't get why there are so many rappers that do sound the same as well, i like originality

geez i'm running way to long with this and i could probably go on a lot longer
