I like it because the guy drives around town on his drums, fueled on unleaded rock & roll.

  2. My favorite music is pop music because it is up beat and makes you want to dance when you hear it. I love all the songs sung by the t.v. show Glee. They sing modern day songs that most everyone knows and loves and you would hear these songs on the radio as well. Some of my favorite songs are "Forget You", "Born This Way", "Singing In The Rain/Umbrella", "safety dance", and many more.

  3. The music genres that i like are almost all, except rock/screemo, because it just hurts my ear and its all like yelling, no offence to any rock music enjoyers and i hope you understand. My favorite song is 'Party Rock' all the way because it's such an awesome song that it scares my laziness away.

  4. My favorite genre of music is rock, because most rock artists do a very good job of creating music that makes sense and sounds good. Also, in my opinion rock music takes much more talent to create than other genre of music. Some of my favorite bands are Rise Against, Led Zeppelin, the Offspring, and many more. But don't get me wrong, I like and respect most other genres of music too.

  5. The type of music I enjoy is pop; it makes me feel peaceful whenever I listen to any type of pop songs. Out of all the pop artists out there, 'Westlife' is my favorite artist. 'Westlife' is my favorite artist because, their voice really serenades me with their calming singing voice.
    But what is this for.

  6. I enjoy listening to Bon Jovi because i like the kind of music he plays like its my life. Its basically saying that he wants to live the way he wants to not what others want

  7. I like the kind of music that is not only melodic, but also has meaning within it's words. I like songs that have more to offer than just bragging about their money and cars. Most of all, i like music that not only i can relate to, but that has reasoning as to why the artist is singing to begin with. When they tell a story with their lyrics. People like Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, and Anna Nalick, are all my favorites because their lyrics, and their music, can bring out the exact emotion they're feeling, except through their listeners. Isn't that the main goal for an artist?

  9. I like all different kind of music, but my favorite band is the beatles. I also like music i can relate to and has meaning. When song lyrics make you feel like you are understood thats how you know a song means something.

  10. I don't have a favorite type of music because I try to listen to all genres to expand my music culture, listening to only one type of genre would limit knowing other good songs from other genres. I do not like songs with sad lyrics because they tend to bring me down. Upbeat songs are my favorite because they get me pumped up and give me a positive outlook on everything.

  11. I like different songs from each genre of music, so I don't have one favorite type. Except I really like songs with lyrics that have meaning. My favorite song is Keep Your Head Up by Andy Grammer.

  13. I don't have a specific favorite type of music because i enjoy listening to all types. I personally like to listen to different genres every time of day because listening to one type of music gets boring. If i only listened to one genre i would be bored out of my mind. I like the song to be meaningful though unlike songs that are just words and make no sense what so ever. I always like to listen to music up to date to see what's new, but i really like old songs as well

  18. i like lots of different types of music but if i had to choose one type, i think it would be rock. I like rock the best because i grew up listening to it and its the best. If you listen to the lyrics of most rock it usually has a good meaning.
