Dissonance Vs. Consonance

Dissonance by far man. For all of the reasons you stated and but I also must add, I'm a HUGE avant-garde jazz fan and anyone who knows anything about that style of music knows dissonance is a major... nearly exclusive element.

I also enjoy, as you said consonance...

But what I find most appealing is a careful mixture of the two. Dissonance as the preface to consonance always makes the music that much more beautiful. A lot of "noise" genres seem to take this approach, and I've always admired the guitar dissonance in the work of groups like Nirvana, the Pixies, Rapeman, etc.

Here are some videos of dissonant music I enjoy:
