I like all kinds especially rockabully, technopump, razzdip, archipelago, aqua blues, cornpop, and folkdiddle.
But I like some of yours including Cranberries, The prodigy and Bjork.
Now the last one is an interesting one, Bjork. She really captures the feeling of depression in my view. Some of her songs are so haunting, I cry. Just utterly beautiful.

Hey Jack

Did you ever listen to any of her songs from The Sugarcubes, her previous band?

No I don’t know Bjork that well. I saw her in a movie once though.

Up until recently I enjoyed many kinds of music from the varying subgenres in classical music, to rap/hip-hop, hard rock, and early 2000’s techno/dance/electronic.

Now, I can only enjoy very few kinds of music without becoming depressed. I enjoy classical music that uses all parts of an orchestra; strings, air, percussion, keys. My absolute favorite music is trance/electronic/house, but that isn’t the right way for me to put it. Inside those few areas are a handful of songs that remain my favorites throughout different stages of my life. I keep one main playlist with under 15 songs. If I skip a song twice, I take it out. Music is very powerful when it comes to emotions, and me being so empathetic makes music the only thing I can’t keep from making me cry. For an example, any song or tune that even slightly resembles a country song will make me struggle with insanely sudden, intense, depression. This is the only time this happens to me, but I really can’t listen to music outside of my (literal) comfort zones anymore 🙁

I’m with Laycee somewhat.

I enjoy a wide variety and look upon my taste as entirely mutable. No one can really claim to have much musical taste if they stick hard and fast to a particular Genre.

I love orchestral sounds and lately have enjoyed Steve Reich’s Sextet, performed by Yale Percussion Group.

I cannot read music but struggle with an old 80 bass Piano Accordion that at least helps with fundamentals.

I get the bit about music and emotion and can quite easily well up listening to all sorts.

For me, nothing touches music for evoking strong emotion!

Look at Arnold Bocklins painting “The Isle of the Dead”, but then hear Rachmaninov’s symphonic poem of the picture! Breathtaking!
