"Aspie music"?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm mostly a pop and rock person. The few hip hop songs I like are songs with a nice chorus that is sung not rapped. I like M.I.A because the beats are amazing. I'm a synesthete so that affects the music I like a lot. I love Lady Gaga because all of her songs give me a very visual effect. Plus they get stuck in my head because I'm a sucker for "earworms". I love classical music too. I think the piece that has given me the most emotional reaction in my life is Seranade for Strings, by Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky. So beautiful, plus there's a ballet made for it which is also beautiful.

I like old skool hip-hop, garage, drum & bass (old but hate new D&B) and breakbeat dislike commercial music and anything which is really chessy.

Bob Dylan and Led Zep of course!

I like (dark) ambient. It's pure medicine to stress.

I mostly listen to music from the 1970s, 1990s, and today. Particularly Tori Amos, Fleetwood Mac, Sarah McLachlan, Billy Joel, Dave Edmunds ("I Hear You Knocking" is one of his best), John Denver, Evanescence, Avril Lavigne, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Dixie Chicks, Celine Dion, and many others.

I love Hotel California, songs from "Playing for Change", and guitar solos, acoustic guitar classical music, i love the sound which
the guitar makes

I love The Kinks. They speak more to me, than any other group or performer. Even after some kid tried to give me a hard time, here this summer, I still love them.

I actually enjoy rap quite a bit. Listening to something completely ridiculous like Lil Jon's "Kings Of Crunk" album is very fun when I'm in the right mood.

I tend to be more accustomed to ambient sounds and anything with a smooth rhythm in it. I tend to steer clear of most lyrics, cause they don't really fit in with the music, unless its from a better sounding language.

I like a number of genres that most in my vicinity don't care for:

Baroque Classical
Acid Jazz
Vocal House Music
Ambient/Lounge
Latin
Bossanova
and some Alternative

I tend to fall in love with songs that are repetitive and have a great bass line or lead singer. I also tend to isolate one instrument at a time while listening to disassemble the song/music and then listen to it again to hear a different instrument, and then again and so forth. When I've heard enough the song starts to make sense. And when it makes sense I can hear it all together. Even then sometimes I still pick up new things about the songs/music I'm listening to that I haven't heard before. Does that make sense to anyone?

I'm into trance, techno, ambient, classial, and big band. I like oldies like Frank Sinatra and such as well. But I can't stand rap or hip hop. Or anything sorta garbled like that.
I prefer trance, ambient, and classical.

However some groups that I like are Depeche Mode, The Cure, and New Order.

I'm into pretty much every type of music that doesn't have too much percussion. Although "too much" really depends on the music itself, but it's a fairly low amount for dance music (even though I love a lot of trance music, most of it has too much percussion for me).

But seriously, I like everything from Mozart to Mika to musicals. There's not a particular type of music I don't like (though hip hop and rap often do have too much percussion for me, there are some without too much and have songs that are meaningful).

I like everything there are few exceptions... but it has seasons when I hear the same songs once and again during at least 2 hours of my day, right now is james brown, last week was reguetton, the week before manuchao/mano negra, the week before perhaps was Black eyed peas.

Adhd might have something to do with it... wich takes me to the conclusion that there are as many tastes in music as kind of auties there are.

Underground hip hop, dubstep, shoshtakovich, r&b (sometimes), pop.

Anything with a lot of bass. The sound of rock gives me a headache, it sounds too treble.

My tastes in musical are pretty eclectic... I can't say I have a favorite genre or artist. I like everything from James Taylor to Deicide and Symphony music to NWA. There are some genres I generally dislike such as hip-hop/rap, (except for NWA, Ice-T and a few select other artists) county-western, jazz, latin and top 40. Nontheless, there are plenty of songs and artists within those genres that I like as well. I suppose I lean towards hard rock/metal since I have enjoyed the sound of distorted guitars since I was a little kid and i've been playing guitar (badly...thanks be to god for my crummy fine motor skills ) on and off since I was 14.

If I could master the solo (or better yet...write a solo as beautiful and moving) in the following song...then i'd consider myself a guitarist. I know it's hard to view a guitar solo in a hard rock/heavy metal song as "beautiful"....but this is an exception IMO. This is one of Judas Priest's mellower songs anyway and a classic from their 1975 "Sad Wings of Destiny" album. Listen to the dark-haired guitarist's (on the right of stage... Glenn Tipton) solo and give me one good reason why shouldn't sell my soul to be able to play like that. Rob Halford's vocals on this are off on this....but it IS live after all. The studio version is much better in that respect. Oh....and for any guitar/music snobs out there who tell me Judas Priest sucks and/or Glenn Tipton is a mere tyro on guitar compared someone like Segovia or Allan Holdsworth....save it. Segovia and Holdsworth aren't even human....they are gods.


Anyway....the solo starts at 3:04 and Tipton 's guitar work is spine-tingling enough for my tastes
