Music You Like, But Aren't Sure Why

[Hostile]

We all have different music tastes. But do you ever find something you like that is completely outside of your normal tastes? If so, what is it.

I have no idea why, but this song is mesmerizing to me. It is nothing like what I will normally listen to at all. I don't even know anything about the artist other than her name. I am that disinterested in everything but this song.

My wife listens to Nora Jones, some of her songs catch my attention and stay in my head even though they aren't what I prefer. Her songs do put my kids to sleep very easily so I appreciate that about her music.

That kind of a song is mellow notes...and with the pictures? No wonder you don't know...I don't either. Graphics of those flowers with those tunes...that is what is making you happy.

My musical tastes range from Megadeth to the Indigo Girls so there's nothing that stands out to me as "something I like but not sure why." However, I was pleasantly surprised by how talented Amy Whinehouse is.

I have been told that she writes all of her own music, plays all the instruments, does all the vocals and mixes it all together and produces her own stuff. The attractive woman in the videos is her.

I have a couple of her CDs but haven't listened to them in years though.

I used to like the hard and heavy stuff but the older I get, the more I want music to calm me down not rev me up.

I'll be 72 next month and when I really want to get mellow I play my Indian flute.

Lady Gaga. It is disturbing that I enjoy her music, yet I have no control.

Are you talking about Amy Whinehouse?

No, sorry for the confusion, I was talking about Enya.

[Heisenberg]

Somewhat like the song in the first post. I like it. It's nothing like what I normally listen to though.

I really liked this particular song and figured I'd grab an album or two of theirs. Not a big fan of the rest of their songs, but this one? I really like.

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Bad Romance is a pretty good video and song.

[rash]

Dude Hos Enya is awesome. You should know why you like her. Shes just sheer brilliance.

check out the song lazy days by her.

Lmao...I think this

...should have been an enormous clue otherwise.

I know, that's why I said it. :D

BTW...I couldn't agree more. Winehouse is terrific....granted she isn't allowed to be viewed. There isn't enough beer in the world to make that woman attractive.

I am not a big fan of electronica type of music. However I have to say I have always liked the prodigy.

When I first got the cds of music for the gilted generation and fat of the land I could not stop listening to it.

You aren't alone in that thinking. The Prodigy did some incredible things with that style. It was almost like they wanted to be heavy metal and just fused it in with what they knew best.

[MonsterD]

Not as much music but the the duo The Knife. Their music is so simplistic but moving and then they have songs that are just bizarre and haunting. Honestly I have not heard any song sound like the next one.

Billy Joel is great. Watch what you say about him, he used to be a boxer and he loves to drink, so he might just knock you out!

[Temo]

Enya is awesome Hostile, no reason to wonder why you like her.

[Rowdy]

Hostile-

There was a popular video made after 9-11 showing a slideshow of the catastrophe with that same Enya song. Made it a tear-jerker.

[ethiostar]

I like all sorts of music so its hard to say. Sometimes I hear a cheesy, catchy, teenybopper song on the radio and i find myself singing it for a few days.

The most ludicrous, however, was a commercial jingle that i couldn't get out of my head for a LONG time and found myself humming (and sometimes singing out loud) the tune for some odd reason.

Enya is awesome Hostile, no reason to wonder why you like her.Oh, I am sure many artists I don't listen to are awesome. This is not music I would normally listen to. My wife does. I have heard other songs by her and they are okay, but do nothing for me. That one song though, is quite a different effect. I feel that song and I have no idea why.

Lmao...my fiance' introduced me to her. Funny watching people's reactions the first time they listen to her....she sounds so innocent at first.

I used to have a job that was conducive to spending large amounts of time working with several people in a confined space....which led to hours of goofy, if not completely insane behavior. Strange tunes would be beat to death, tunes a lot like that one. Jingles like "5 dollar footlong" would become serious threats to our mental health.

Ever here the Muppets do Mahna Mahna? Yeah....try listening to that song 1000 times in a week. :D

Good times.

Yea, I mean I'm not even an Enya fan, don't have any of her music on my ipod or anything. Just one of those artists I can listen to anywhere and be glad to hear to hear it.

Seriously.

I used to sing Huggies pull-ups song when i used to bartend and wait tables, along with Mahna Mahna. Drove my co-workers crazy and got some crazy looks from my customers.

I like some of their stuff too.

I have a lot of trendy friends in the DC area that turn me on to stuff like this...seems to coincide with the skate/snow industries too. You can watch the latest high end snow and skate videos and pick up some good tunes.

I'm not sure if I'm comforted by the fact that we aren't alone in this phenomena...I assume you're a fan of the Banana Phone song too? :D

I love him. I just don't understand why. And my friends give me endless crap about it. It *is* piano music, and he does use lines like 'real-estate novelist', calls 'money' 'bread'. He's definitely a guilty pleasure for any real man's-man, right?

I didn't know about that song....................until just 5 minutes ago.

Thanks tom, now i have this freaking song in my head. :mad:

Pretty catchy, btw. :D

Oh, while looking up the Banana Phone song on youtube I also came across one called The Duck Song. Check it out if you haven't already. lol

[DallasCowpoke]

Enigma's 1st album, "MCMXC A.D." always fascinated me.

I think because this gal put it on one memorable summer afternoon, while we were knocking boots in the middle of Lake O' The Pines TX, on the top deck of her Daddy's houseboat.

That kinda thing sticks with ya, don't cha know?

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Billy Joel is pretty good. I preferred his Glass Houses CD to his other work.

You might like Yeasayer too they toured a lot w/MGMT. One thing that confuses me is that MGMT went from kinda unknown to really big very fast and their music can be pretty inconsistent. I know on their albums they have like 2-3 really good songs then the rest is pretty much mediocre.

Music is a universal language...if you really listen to different music, there is always something good about ir, otherwise it would not be called music.

So, I like it all...there is always something in music.

[Stautner]

There are all sorts of catchy songs that are hard not to sing along with even if you don't like yourself for doing it. Every time I hear Achy Breaky Heart I dona't know whether to shoot myself in the head or sing along. My desire is to shoot myself in the head, but I can't help singing along in my head. My first reaction is just to turn it off quickly so I don't have to make the choice.

That's called an ear bug. When you listen to the last song on the airwaves...it might stick in your ear.

It's worse when you have an ear bug when you lay down to sleep. Over, and over...

Just tell them that he's "played all kinds of palaces, layed all kinds of girls."
He's got an enormous amount of outstanding music. I seriously have no problem defending the greatness of Billy Joel. 3 of my favorites are "New York State of Mind" (as the Cajun one pointed out) , Stop in Nevada & While the Night is Still Young.

[Sam I Am]

Rock music is my favorite, but I will actually listen to anything that isn't crap. My second favorite is symphonies.

I love hearing these guys sing. Their voices are amazing.
