Do you tend to like music in particular genres, or are your tastes all over the place? What are your most and least favorite musical genres?
I have pretty eclectic taste in music. (Par examplar.) The only genre I truly, seriously, undoubtedly hate is screamo. Pretty much anything that screams at me. That shit all makes me want to stab railroad spikes into my ears. Serious.
I listen to a LOT of "boys with guitars" music. Matt Nathanson, Blu Sanders, Griffin House, Ryan Adams, Stephen Kellogg (& the Sixers). I guess overall I listen to mostly singer-songwriter types. Not 'cuz I'm indie and above the law of pop culture/music, but because those guys write the songs that speak to my heart.
That said, my top five musicians/bands:
01. Matt Nathanson
02. Counting Crows
03. Lori McKenna
04. Dashboard Confessional
05. Garth Brooks
Oh, Garth Brooks. How I love you and your crazy pop country ass.
Dudes, I cannot get over Lori McKenna. I know I've been saying that for like a year, but I'm not even kidding. I wish you people would come to recognize teh rawk that is Lori.
The song I attached makes me [and my sister] think of my Pa. It made me cry a lot in June and July. But it's not that it's a terribly sad song... just that it was a terribly good song at a terribly sad time in my life.
Anyway, download it. If you hate it, you're banned from my life forever.
