So I struggled with a topic for this week just like I always seem to do, but then I realized that I had never talked about my other love (outside of reading & outside of my cats) and that is music. I have a very eclectic taste just like I do with my books and what I like to read. I like rock, I like some pop and I looooove country. Like borderline obsessed with it. I'll do some alternative and I do love me the soundtracks. Especially for movies that I have loved. I absolutely gotta have the soundtrack.
There are some types of music that I cannot stand. Rap is my number on cannot stand music. It's not even really music to me and most of it is so offensive to women that I can't even handle it. Of course that happens to be my 13 year old brother's favorite genre of music and he is allowed to listen to the more offensive stuff at his dad's which really upsets my mom. Classical makes me think of either elevator music or the music they play when you are on hold on the phone. Jazz, icky, ick. So not my thing. Actually makes me consider sleeping whenever I hear it.
I thought about putting some video clips of my favorite songs in this post, but I didn't want to slow down the blog for anyone. That's a pet peeve of mine so why would I do that to someone else?
I'm really on a country kick right now, even more than usual. My top country artists include Reba McEntire (she's my all time favorite) Taylor Swift (yes I know she's kinda Country/Pop but I love her) and Carrie Underwood, oh and Lady Antebellum, love them. Of course I cannot forget the men Garth Brooks, Lonestar, Brooks & Dunn & Vince Gill.Blake Shelton is okayish. Luke Bryan is fun & attractive to look at, but I'm not sold on his music.
So what are your favorite types of music and who are your favorite music artists?
Ahahah, I love Luke Bryan! Not really, but his music is hilarious, and I find it so catchy. xD And I like Hunter Hayes because he's nice to look at. And Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert--like them too!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite genre would have to be alternative, though, because no matter how many music phases I have, I always end up back at alternative. xD
I pretty much like everything but jazz. I even like Russian music. I like screamo (hardcore rock/metal), rap (lolol, sorry), and classical (Beethoven and Mozart, mostly). I don't have classical on my iPod or anything, but I usually end up listening to classical on YouTube one way or another. Probably because I play the piano, though! :D
Right now I really like Hoodie Allen, especially his acoustic album Americoustic. T. Mills is probably my favorite "rapper" right now. I "quote" that because I don't really consider him a rapper... Sage the Gemini is a rapper in my opinion, and I like his music. As for alternative, I love The Neighbourhood, Lorde, The 1975, Forever the Sickest Kids, Mayday Parade, and a loooot more. For pop, I think I stick to the number 1 singles mostly. Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Pitbull, etc. I really just listen to pretty much anything!
OH, I forgot screamo, though I don't think you care. xD For screamo, my favorite bands Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce the Veil, Crown the Empire, I See Stars, Memphis May Fire, Get Scared, and Ghost Town. I don't really think Ghost Town is "screamo," but I'm not doing post-hardcore as a genre on here xD
'Kay, I'm done. <3 Great post topic!
