I Listen for the words/lyrics and if the singer can't sing then I listen to the beat and music.

my husband and i always debate over this issue... like a song will come on and he'll say "oh this is such a good song, i love it!" and i'll start listening to it and i'll say "he's saying 'i cheated on you, but since i was man enuf to confess, you should just forgive me', why do you like a song that says that?!" cuz i guess to me, the music you listen to says a lot  about who you are... i feel when you ask someone their 'type' of music, and they say 'o, pretty much everything...' it's either a cop out or they just don't like confrontation, or they simply are not 'into' music as much as i am...which there is absolutely nothing wrong with(my husband is the latter)...i happen to like many diff kinds of music too, and have a somewhat wide variety of music in my cd collection, but i am trying to get away from saying i like everything, as i feel this says an untruth about who i am... i like other songs by usher, just not the ones where he tries to get sympathy his post-affair heartache... there are exceptions tho, i feel that first hit by the pussycat dolls about 'don't you wish your gf was hot like me?' was a horrible example for my step-daughter (not that i blame music for kids behavior or anything) but i cannot help but dance and sing along when this song comes on!! lol! it's wonderfully slutty and seductive (totally my alter ego talking here! i'm such a gemini!! haha!) and i can't get enough of it. just sharing my thoughts, glad you asked...

I once read that men are more likely to be interested in the music whereas women take greater interest in the lyrics. Personally, I generally need a song to have meaning behind it. I love them to be quite metaphorical so that you have to really think about what the artist is trying to convey. Obviously the music has to be good too otherwise you woudn't bother.

I have a bit of a problem with certain bands, like pink Floyd or radio head for example, this is not because they produce bad music, far from it, but I have had friends who insisted on playing me them and explaining they're understandings and interpretations about the songs to me, It put me of them. When I have had chance to listen to them in my own space and gain my own appreciation of them, then I have been able to start enjoying what I'm listening to and discoverer meanings that may not have been apparent to that Friend with the blinkered beliefs. Who knows, I may be closer to the authors original intent.

I'm open to a bunch of different types of music. I mostly like R&B music. My favorites are Destiny's Child, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Usher, Omarion, Ciara... people like that. I like Rap music too... not as much, but certain things with great beats are nice like 50 Cent's music & all of G-Unit, Bow Wow, Black Eyed Peas, Jay-Z and some others. Pop is def. another group of music I like. Everything from Justin Timberlake to Britney & Christina... Jessica Simpson, Nick Lachey (I shouldn't group them together anymore), the Pussycat Dolls, Kelly Clarkson (love her), Avril Lavigne, Hilary Duff & a bunch more. So around that type of music.... but I do own the Carrie Underwood CD and that is country and some others I like.... I guess if I listen to it and like it, then I like it!
