please type the 3 best reasons for listening to music
(in no specific order). feel free to elaborate on your answers if you want to. here's 3 sets of answers from the same question that i posted in another music forum:

1. Makes me feel famous
2. There's always a song that matches my mood
3. Is a good conversation starter.

1. Makes me smile
2. Makes me cry
3. Makes me feel alive

1. music helps you fantisize
2. music can enhance life
3. it can unite people (two people dancing or a large concert)

i could have swore Ijust posted a reply to this thread.
But maybe I didn't and the kool aid's going to my head.

I listen to music because:
1. because the gift of sound is something that shouldn't be taken for granted and since I can hear I may as well enjoy all the wonderful sounds of music that I can before I lose the ablity to appreciate music for what it is.
2. because the sound of it gives me a really wierd good tingly feeling.
3. Because if it weren't for music I'd probably be bored out of my mind listening to some of the mindless jabber of someone talking.

Those are my reasons

jibber--but now i will only get a limited feedback. what about the punks, classical enthusiests, etc... people who aren't going to log into "general music"? Not everyone has the same opinion on this topic.

everyone should have a voice in the quiz.

Oi_To_The_World

then everyone can come to the general music section and put in their input. posting the same message more than once is against the rules, and that's it, end of discussion.

^ nutter butters is my anti drug.
Although that doesn't make sense if marijuana is supposed to give you the munchies and does and when I get the munchies I eat nutter butters so wouldn't I wanna do marijuana so i could get the munchies and have to eat nutter butters?
Sigh. My anti drug is my little brother, music, art, and frisbee.

Long live Jared (the frisbee's name. Don't ask. I didn't name it)


And I am so off topic it's like a nutter butter without peanut butter.
Anyhow, another reason I like music is because there are so many different kinds and it doesn't know prejudice and racism and all that ther crazy stuff that keeps people from meeting other people. Although when you factor Eminem's White America into this equation you often wonder what the hell you're listening to?
Does it make you any worse than the white bastards from way back when they came up with Jim Crow's laws and some other crazy stuff?
I don't know. I honestly don't know.

And I have nothing against white people. In fact some of my friends call me an oreo or false advertisement.


I'll be going now.

Peace out all of yous happy fellowed friends
