ctp080188 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think I isolate most of those when choosing music to listen to. Rhythm is what catches me initially, I can like a song from the beat only. I like music that makes me want to dance, and a good rhythm can do that instantly. Most of the music I listen to is based around a drum beat. I love really talented singers as well, I can listen to so many artists a Capella, John Legend, Marvin Gaye, Lemar, Luther Vandross, Stevie Wonder, old Mariah Carey etc. they have such beautiful voices. And then I listen to a lot of classical music as well... No drum beat there, occasionally some vocals, but yeah, love to listen to it while studying. SHH HUT YUH MUH. DERKHED.

Intriguing Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I only listen to music I like, as in, music, not lyrics. However, I don't start listening to bands with satanic, gory (cannibal corpse, other grindcore bands..), or anti-Christian lyrics (I generally look up liyrics of new bands I want to check out). However, I listen to alot of secular music. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 It depends on the music I guess. Generaly I like a ballance of the two although I'd think that I take the instrumental parts more than lyrics. Mostly because whenever I hear some amazing lyrics they are backed up by a great part of the song. Seldom do I hear amazing lyrics that aren't backed up well.

chicodallasman Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Other then a few guilty pleasures (Techno songs lol) a song needs both a good lyrics and a good rhythm for me to like it. Although Nightwish's lyrics are horrible... Meh, one exception lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yaff2 Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 id have to say music more that lyrics, but i hate listening to songs that dont have brutal, violence, murder, blood, gore, stuff like that....so both! 1980 Berlinetta with a 350, bored, mild cam, intake carb, headers, exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudyaard Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 a mix of both - it's no song with only one of them. i personally don't like rap because of the lack of intruments and i hate techno for it's lack of lyrics (and it's bleep blooping, but that's not essential now) edit:id have to say music more that lyrics, but i hate listening to songs that dont have brutal, violence, murder, blood, gore, stuff like that....so both! ugh! you're mean :twisted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragen Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 As I'm exploring the more extreme forms of metal, I'm finding that a) I can't understand the lyrics, and B) I wouldn't want to understand them anyway. The music is pretty good though. Thanks Venomai for this super sig and Kwimbob for the awesome avatar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solidus_77 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Personally, I only care about the intruments and I tend to like songs without any words 76th to reach 99 Construction on 6th of February 2007379th to reach 99 Runecrafting on 4th of November 2007 Finally the secrets of goal achieving are revealed!

Echofish Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Since I listen to songs that are usually in a different language, the lyrics doesn't really matter to me anymore. It's the overall rythm and beat of the song which got me listening to it. Ultra Unholy,Hearted Machine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poopingman Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Instruments for me, anyone that listens to Children of Bodom religiously has to side with me. Metal fans, check out my band!Still the King.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
god_of_omega Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Mostly for the instruments. But sometimes for the Lyrics. Like i listen to Pantera mostly for Dime's intense solo's n that. I listen to Van Halen as they have great guitar and great lyrics. An i listen to most acoustic stuff for the lyrics because they sound better when played acoustic. But that's just me.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychoduck14 Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 um a bit of both bands like the ramones or the misfits are lyricle oriented as they were bad musicians but other bands mainly the metal genra or techno are more for the music. btw if you like like rock/hardcore theres a lot of good christian bands like thousand foot cruch norma jean and piller to name a few and ya i hate the mainstream christian music too a study shows that 89% of all forum users have a sig like this. if you are one the 11% that think its dumb dont sell out and put this in your sig. 5/4 of all ppl have trouble with fractionsZOMBIES!I will buy ALL your rune full helms for 7Kea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoPolice Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Music comes first. Lyrics are secondary. However, a good vocal melody is just as important as guitar/bass/drums/whatever. ANOTHER QUALITY POST BY JAKE. :funone: jake on last.fm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmchips1 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 It's all about the guitar man! People don't understand how amazing guitar can be.. I mean yeah, lyrics are great, but that's not why I listen to music. I listen to bands like Trivium and As I lay Dying, not because of the lyrics (although they are good), but because the the music is insane. For those of you who don't know what I mean... check out this vid of me playing a Trivium song, Detonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocacolabottle Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 If it has a great guitar riff/solo, then it's allright by me :) , that's the reason I love Zeppelin so much, Page's original guitar riffs are just too hawt for this world. And allthough 90% of their lyrics are about love (what I usually can't stand in a song), I still love them. 99 Slayer since August 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A91l1ty Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 A bit of both really. Mostly for the guitar , drums and beat really, but if the lyrics mean something or sound cool then i'm not really bothered! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of you who don't know what I mean... check out this vid of me playing a Trivium song, Detonation. Just wanna say that your videos are impressive. Good stuff. OT: For me it'd probably have to be 70% instruments and 30% lyrics. But that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I play an instrument myself. A good guitar riff and/or a good solo but with pretty bad lyrics can still be a fantastic song in my ears. Good lyrics can be the same, but that is rarer.

magekillr Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 haha...same here man..my parents don't like some of my music b/c of their "message"...but i'm like "i like the way it sounds...sheesh". i had black sabbath on once and my mom came in "turn that devil worshipping band off in my house!!!!" anyway...i like it for the instruments...and if the lyrics own then that's just a plus edit: and a lot of people can play other people's songs on guitar...doesn't make you special. what sets you aside is writing it yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syd Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Mainly the sound of the music & the vocals. Lyrics are something extra on top. Although in the case of love songs I'd say it's the other way round. A beautiful set of lyrics really gets the tears streaming :D All what I was going to say.. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vhellcat Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Definitely a music person. Even when sung a cappella, I'm listening to the harmony not the lyrics. Some songs I like finding out the lyrics, but for some, the lyrics ruin the song for me - or an idiotic video. Good thing I don't have cable and can't see most videos nowadays :XD: Vine is waving at me. What? What was that?! It gave me the tendril! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
