What music does to your personal tastes try to think out of the box compared to most other music you like? And just to give this picture a little contrast, also tell me which music you'd normally listen to when at work or.. well, wherever else you find yourself near a radio a lot.
I said before I'm a musician. I write a lot of music and I consider myself a student of it in the loosest possible sense. What I'd like is 100% creative control behind my band in a year or so, and for the past four months I've been trying to get a heading. I've been listening and trying out a lot of new and not so new ideas. I often have lengthy discussions with my friends about various musical styles and.. well, I'd like to see if I can get a similar response on a well read forum. It is my opinion that it is the discussion about musical arts that gets the most interesting because it is so damn hard to define. Laa-dee dadoo dee daah! Yes, *I know*, that tune!
It doesn't matter to me what music you listen to. Laibach or Coltrane, anything goes. I want to know why you think a certain type of music stands out so much to you, even if other people 'can't hear it'.
