Expand your taste in MUSIC

September 11, 2010
By Anonymous

I really cannot understand when asked 'what do you listen to?' people always say a specific genre of music. Ok, I understand everyone has their own opinion but I find it so boring just listening to one type of music! But I'm not going to be a hypocrite considering I was the girl who would only listen to pop music a few years ago...and i'll admit the music I listened to looking back was what you would call 'crappy music' but I've been researching different music and ive found music that I really like... heres some songs that I love, give them ago! If you dont normally like to step outside your music zone, I suggest you give it a try. I understand the a lot of you have probably heard these songs before.

Kleerup - Until We Bleed
Vanessa Carlton - Paradise
Placebo - Running Up That Hill
Muse - Sunburn
Muse - Showbiz
Coldplay - Spies
Snow Patrol and Martha Wainwright - Set The Fire To The Third Bar

I don't like Justin Bieber music or personality at all... But you really shouldn't make fun of someone for the way they write. He's still a human being, jeez.

The day that Justin Bieber counts as real music will also be marked by the Four Horsemen riding in...

(good article, by the way. I've been looking for new songs, so thank you! :) )

I totally understand, which kind of annoys me that people only listen to one genre, but also, there was a time like you, where I only listen to one type of music..Or in other words. Just one band! So people really should be more open minded about music. And by the way, I love the song "Set the fire to the third bar"!!

I like your message. Of course, music is so complicated and so wonderful that it must be explored. Listening to the same thing over and over does not inspire anything in us. I must say, forgive me for my pride, that I'm pretty open about music.
