Music You Like, But Aren't Sure Why

[JohnnyHopkins]

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.

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.

Turning in man-card now.

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!

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

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.

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.

Lily Allen ~ Not Fair.

It's not fair that I can't post her youtube vid. :laugh2:

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.

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.

I love that song!! :laugh1:

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?

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?

New York State of mind is pretty good.

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

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

Pretty catchy, btw.

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

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?
