Irrational music love

**Goofle** · 02-25-2014, 02:55 AM

So, like, the opposite of that other thread.

Artists you like which possibly goes against your general tastes in music.

I would say Union J, Take That and Lil B for me.

Clarification: I understand that people "Like what I like" etc, and that's reason enough to "rationally" enjoy something, but it's fun to see what anomalies people have when it comes to taste.

I don't know if goes against my general tastes but I definitely have an irrational love of Billy Idol.

Doesn't go against my general taste, but I'm not sure why I love it so much. This album:

The Suicide Machines - War Profiteering is killing us all.
It has hardcore punk, ska punk, and pop punk combined together pretty well.
It's simple and fun, but I'm not sure why I love it so much.

Opening track(no sign of ska punk here though):
the Suicide Machines - War Profiteering Is Killing Us All - YouTube

I'm in my 20s and I listen to an unnatural amount of Bowling for Soup. They're one of my favourite bands and I have no idea why I love them as much as I do.

I really like Coldplay, though I don't know whether or not it's irrational.

I couldn't tell you why I like half the music that I do

Explaining takes all the fun from it, anyway.

No specific artist come to mind but i love 50's doo-wop for some reason which is the total opposite of the noisy bands i usually like

I've always liked the band Bush. I don't listen to them much these days, but I did back in the 90s when they were popular.
