I Effing Love Music!
My favorite streaming services to listen to music in order of preference are Spotify, YouTube, and Pandora. (I also own some CDs.) I stream through an Apple iMac desktop computer connected to an old Onkyo stereo receiver and Infinity speakers or Bose wireless noise-cancelling headphones. I am fascinated with learning about and exploring a variety of music genres and sub-genres.
I have been a fan of Green Day and Linkin Park since I was a preteen. Over the last few years, I also began to listen to and enjoy some Pink Floyd. Several more bands I like are ones that my father had introduced to me, such as The Dandy Warhols, The Sisters of Mercy, and Front Line Assembly.
I also have recently started to get into some of the mainstream pop musicians which I first heard on the radio when I was a young child. I especially love Lady Gaga. Two more female pop singers I really like are Kesha and Katy Perry. Outside of mainstream, Ladytron is an alternative pop band whose style is quite unique, combining a nostalgic ’80s and ’90s sound with a futuristic sound reminiscent of the mainstream pop of the late ’00s and early ’10s.
I also really like post-punk and new wave music from the ’70s and ’80s. One example is another band my father introduced to me, Public Image Ltd, who are known for their experimental sound. I also enjoy the music of Devo, partially due to how nerdy they are, as I am a nerd myself. Another influential band I like that falls into this category is Joy Division.
Some music genres that I DON’T currently listen to include jazz, country, rap, blues, R&B, and folk.
