Frownland

I got your PM and can firmly say that you like music. You should check out Clarence Clarity, Sophie, and Mid-Air Thief.

I checked, and I didn't see you post an introduction in "Introductions" sub-forum. If you did you can give the forum the opportunity to understand a little bit about you. That English isn't your first language. Maybe they would act different, maybe they'll change their approach - maybe not.

I wish you didn't do that cause I can't not analyse these communications to see where they went wrong in their musical analysis. I am still trying to grasp this whole concept of "musical taste analysis" and what it entails. So I like to see it in action in a thread on the forum.

Gee whiz, I am not sure about that theory. It is possible.

One of the traits of an ENTJs are they are "strategic thinkers" and perhaps you think "musical taste analysis" is the best strategy?

edit: If you like you send a PM.

While that's true, I think the 1st "maybe" is way smaller than the 2nd 1. After all, people usually care almost exclusively for themselves when posting on an open forum.

Well, I guess we can follow what analysts in real life do, or perhaps even the way companies like Google, MS or FB dissect their data. With a list of songs in hand, they'll be able to churn out info like what range of song length does the customer loves, or pinpoint the geographical region their client currently resides. A bit creepy, right? So in my vision, we don't go down such depths but somewhere in between, like I've listed some result examples in the OP post.

Thinking that way, IMHO it's not wrong I figured that 1 man can't listen to all music ever made in his lifetime. So in order to find only good music, the best way is to use collective knowledge of the mass to find out what his taste is, i.e. what's good for him.
There are actually some sites on the internet that attempt to do it. In 1, you listen to its music, and it'll deduce what you may like based on the songs you pressed "Like" before. Cool & practical idea, only that the database is small & US-centric. Another site displays artists you may like based on the last artist you select. Not nearly as good and didn't work for me.


@Frownland: thanks for the recs, but I didn't actually ask for recs lol. They're not to my taste, unfortunately.

Neapolitan

Not giving recs throws a monkey wrench in my plans. That is what I imagine I would do. In the final analyst I would be recommending bands.

That'd be like some icing on the cake I won't complain, but I think of myself as more interested in individual songs than bands.

I read through the list, but only looked up a few songs. Most of it I never heard of nor would be interested in.

ABBA Fernando
If you like Fernando you might also Cassandra? You might not. You didn't like Frownland's recs, so I guess I feel like I am treading on thing ice recommending.
ABBA - Cassandra


I really didn't go through all those 62+ songs and fully analyze them, but instead of doing a full analysis of those 62+ I am going to pick a random videos as a rec and anticipate the same results as if I put in the time to listen to all 62+ songs and fully analyze them.

バンドじゃないもん！ - NaMiDa

Can't blame you, since most everyone has a job to do, and between a 9 to 5 work & forum posting time & maybe family responsibility, analyzing a full playlist is a laborious endeavor.

Regarding the 2 recs, it's a pity I don't like either. I guess what I enjoy in Fernando is the melodious sounds of those instruments, especially the flute; the wide range of emotions from serene nostalgia to enthusiastic chorus; and meaningful, motivational lyrics. Cassandra seems to lack those. So apparently I don't love or hate songs based on them having titles of personal names

The Japanese video is pretty bad IMO. Is Namida name of the song or the band? Either way, I cringe whenever the camera is focused on a solo smile. They look quite fake I guess that those singers have got too many surgeries to keep their muscles properly functional. And the music, feels like it's more of a jumble of sounds than a wholesome harmony. In addition, their voices lack distinct flavors like in other bands - even though there are 6 members, I can only recognize maybe 2 different vocals.

Neapolitan

The ice was the last of his worries.
