What do you define as 'good music taste'?

[Princess]

While we're on the subject :p

[Shaun]

An appreciation for multiple genres, of multiple ages, and music of actual artistic value.

[MarkWaldorf]

I don't really judge songs on being of a "good musical taste" - it's something I hate. If you like a song you should be able to enjoy it, regardless of who sings it.

[Enid]

Variation. That's all, really.

There are some songs I like by artists I hate - if I like it I will listen to it. It annoys me when people refuse to listen to something because it's a certain genre or by a certain artist.

[Braden]

Music that is doing well in the charts.

[Ramsay]

*hopes you are kidding*

If I don't like an artist as a person I won't listen to their music(Robbie,GaGa etc) but otherwise I'm up for listening to anything.

edit:Argee with Shaun and Enid.

[Smithy]

*hopes you are kidding*

If I don't like an artist as a person I won't listen to their music(Robbie,GaGa etc) but otherwise I'm up for listening to anything.

but what if their musics really good (i.e. gaga)

[Tom]

If it sounds good or not. If trashy, autotuned, manufactured pop sounds better than a song with emotion and written by the artist then I'd go for the first song every time.

[pinkmichk]

if i like it i'll listen i have a varied taste some artists i only like 1 song of theirs others the whole lot

[Princess]

but what if their musics really good (i.e. gaga)

Nope. I can't seperate how I feel about people and their music,don't like one,won't listen to the other. Petty I know but there's only a few people.

[King Gizzard]

anything thats not RNB

[Enid]

but what if their musics really good (i.e. gaga)
That is just down to opinion. I don't think her music is good (although I do like one or two songs), and therefore I don't listen to her. I still have a fantastic taste in music.

[Enid]

Music that is doing well in the charts.
Is that it?

Do you live a very sheltered life?

[Tom]

Is that it?

Do you live a very sheltered life?

Personally I only listen to chart stuff but thats mainly due to convenience. Its nothing to do with living a sheltered life.

[Braden]

Is that it?

Do you live a very sheltered life?

It seems you have already answered the question with your reaction.

[Smithy]

That is just down to opinion. I don't think her music is good (although I do like one or two songs), and therefore I don't listen to her. I still have a fantastic taste in music.

I wasnt meaning just gaga, i was just using it as an example, i just think its a bit silly not listening to good music because you dont like the artist as a person.

[Enid]

Personally I only listen to chart stuff but thats mainly due to convenience. Its nothing to do with living a sheltered life.
Convenience? :/

There are a lot of great bands that deserve recognition but aren't getting it, because it's "inconvenient".

[Smithy]

Nope. I can't seperate how I feel about people and their music,don't like one,won't listen to the other. Petty I know but there's only a few people.

So if there was a huge tabloid revalation that TT were wife beaters, (ik its a stupid example but w/e) would you still listen to them because you enjoyed their music or would you stop because of their personal lives.

[Princess]

I wasnt meaning just gaga, i was just using it as an example, i just think its a bit silly not listening to good music because you dont like the artist as a person.

But why? I don't like listening to people I don't like. Why would I?

[Smithy]

But why? I don't like listening to people I don't like. Why would I?

Im not saying you should, i just think its a bit odd.

[Princess]

So if there was a huge tabloid revalation that TT were wife beaters, (ik its a stupid example but w/e) would you still listen to them because you enjoyed their music or would you stop because of their personal lives.

If it came out that Take That were horrible people I wouldn't like them anymore,that's the half the reason I love them so much because they're so lovely. So yeah I probably wouldn't like their music as much anymore. Anyways it's not like I have to worry about stuff like that.

[InOne]

Well something that is catchy and not idiotic. I'm putting aside all the alternative and that cos you could get into that for ours. But like good pop songs that make people feel good and dance

[Smithy]

Its a bit odd that you could turn off emotion for songs like that =P but anywayz, how come you dont like her?
Is it because she was a "Diva" at the TT concerts?

[Tom]

Convenience? :/

There are a lot of great bands that deserve recognition but aren't getting it, because it's "inconvenient".

I don't have time to trawl around the internet looking for good music when I know what I'm getting when I download stuff I've seen on the music channel or heard it on the radio.

[\PJ/]

Oh enid who are you anyway judging people on what they listening to,you listen to what you want as long as you don't mash it in others faces there shouldn't be a problem.

[Princess]

Its a bit odd that you could turn off emotion for songs like that =P but anywayz, how come you dont like her?
Is it because she was a "Diva" at the TT concerts?

I wouldn't enjoy a song knowing that the people who created it weren't nice. Yeah basically,she refused to perform at 2 shows because they wouldn't let her put up 2 trucks of her lightning and we were stuck in the rain for ages because of it. I can't stand diva's like that.

[Smithy]

lol
I think a lot ofit is because she is so passionate about her music/fans though she incurred a 10k fine at the 02 because she wanted do give her fans the best possible show.

[Princess]

lol
I think a lot ofit is because she is so passionate about her music/fans though she incurred a 10k fine at the 02 because she wanted do give her fans the best possible show.

Yeah but it wasn't her fans. It was their show,their fans and their big,very expensieve stage. It's not up to her and it was divaish of her not to do it.

[Smithy]

Yeah but it wasn't her fans. It was their show,their fans and their big,very expensieve stage. It's not up to her and it was divaish of her not to do it.
Yes i suppose, but i imagine she'd want to put on a big show still either way.
Did you enjoy her performance before the Diva demands?

[Enid]

Oh enid who are you anyway judging people on what they listening to,you listen to what you want as long as you don't mash it in others faces there shouldn't be a problem.
Actually, refusing to listen to anything other than what's cool this week, because according to them everything else is sh!t, says a lot about a person.

Then again, some of us are just more passionate about music than others.

[Princess]

Yes i suppose, but i imagine she'd want to put on a big show still either way.
Did you enjoy her performance before the Diva demands?

What performance? She didn't perform.

[\PJ/]

Well i do see where your coming from about your first point actually.

[Tom]

Actually, refusing to listen to anything other than what's cool this week, because according to them everything else is sh!t, says a lot about a person.

Then again, some of us are just more passionate about music than others.

Why does it say a lot about a person? Whats so bad about listening to whats popular?

[Smithy]

What performance? She didn't perform.

oh:p

[Princess]

Why does it say a lot about a person? Whats so bad about listening to whats popular?

There's nothing wrong with listening to what's popular,it's listening to just what's popular. Because there is some amazing music out there that isn't in the charts.

[Enid]

Why does it say a lot about a person? Whats so bad about listening to whats popular?
There's nothing bad about it. It's refusing to listen to anything that isn't popular that is the problem, considering most pop music these days sound all the same and requires little to no talent at all.

[\PJ/]

So if somebody said to you i adore pop music,whould you be straight away be put of by them?

[Shaun]

*Team Enid*

[Iceman]

Yawn

[Shaun]

So if somebody said to you i adore pop music,whould you be straight away be put of by them?

This is typically narrow-minded of the kind of music listeners we're discussing.

Enid isn't saying "pop music" is itself a bad thing, but people ONLY listening to what's in the charts is a bad thing.

[InOne]

Ok, 86% of the forum like **** music. There I said it.

[Enid]

So if somebody said to you i adore pop music,whould you be straight away be put of by them?
No, because pop music is a very loose term.

The Beatles are pop music, or WERE pop music back in the day. As I said though, some people are just not as passionate about music. Pop is everywhere. On TV, on the radio, online, in shops, so I guess it's pretty easy to become accustomed to pop music, and not bother to look for anything else.

[MarkWaldorf]

Ok, 86% of the forum like **** music. There I said it.

Then that's their problem. Your music makes you happy, their music makes them happy.

And I hate it when people say chart music is ****, as if it's a fact, not an opinion.

[Princess]

It's alright to have pop music as your favourite genre(it's by far my fav genre) as long as you listen to other stuff,or at least see if you like other stuff before you reject everything else. Anyways as Enid said The Beatles were pop and they're one of the best bands of all time.

[Tom]

Enid isn't saying "pop music" is itself a bad thing, but people ONLY listening to what's in the charts is a bad thing.

and one good reason is ...?

[Braden]

I only listen to what is in the charts because I have very poor music knowledge, if I'm honest I have no specific music genre i'm interested in because I only listen to what everyone is else is listening to.

[CaraRawr]

People with good music taste, imo, listen to all music genres and don't just stereotype all songs in a particular one as '****ty' based on one or two songs. I mean, I'm not an RnB fan but I can say that I have heard a few songs that I like even though i'm not rushing out to promte the album or gushing about it at all opportunities.

[Stu]

Sure, you can't say a person who listens to just chart music is a bad person, but they certainly have less of a passion for music than people who have variation and a balanced listening diet.

The fact that Toastee point blank said the charts define what is good and whats not is the depressing type of thought that necessitates threads like these in the first place.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Frankly if you dont like ELO you can f right off

No !, that was my definity towards good music, please don't come in this thread looking for an argument.


Edit: And another thing, don't try an turn this all back to me just because people are arguing about my view of music, I have said my piece and they carried it on, so don't try and make me part of this argument.

[Enid]

Maybe it IS music snobbery. Maybe that's what I am. A music snob. Maybe. Probably. I don't care.

[InOne]

Then that's their problem. Your music makes you happy, their music makes them happy.

And I hate it when people say chart music is ****, as if it's a fact, not an opinion.

I never said what was ****, just it was **** in general. But i'll name a few, Cheryl Cole, Jedward, The Saturdays, JLS, GaGa. That is a few, but there is many more, and I don't mind laughing at people who like music like that tbh.

[Stu]

I'm not 'looking for an argument' I'm looking for a musical ****ing debate. If you can't tell the difference between the two then don't bother. I'm not trying to start an argument. I found your initial post riddiculous and thus chose to comment on it.

Are Definity any good?

[Braden]

Well I only answered the question that was asked, if you have a problem with that then you should sort it out, instead of attacking me saying my opinions are ridiculous.

And if you want to have musical ****ing debate, go have it with someone else you loser.

Edit: And btw, if you think i'm going to reply to whatever sad-ass comment you put next, then think again, i am so over aggravating dicks like you.

[Stu]

I do have a problem with what you said. And I am sorting it out. What do you think I am doing, hunting for ****ing gold?

Sorry, I assumed you were up for a musical discussion. You know, with your whole posting in the musical discussion thread and everything.

Edit: And btw, if you think i'm going to reply to whatever sad-ass comment you put next, then think again, i am so over aggrivating dicks like you.
Have you got any glue? I need to piece my heart back together.

Screw it, the egg on your face is sticky enough. That'll do.

[Princess]

Guys please stop arguing. Toastee,Stu was just trying to have a dicussion,he wasn't insulting you.

[Niamh.]

Obviously everyone thinks their own taste is good

[Enid]

Someone just got way too defensive there. Stu's comment was not directed at you, Toasteee, he was just making an "observation". :P

[Braden]

Guys please stop arguing. Toastee,Stu was just trying to have a dicussion,he wasn't insulting you.

Well i'm sorry if i got the wrong impression. I just don't have a discussion about it, if I feel he is belittling my opinion.

There are no bad genres, just bad music.

[Shaun]

One good reason for what, listening to music that isn't popular? I don't know...broadening your horizons? Not having your taste dictated by the media?

Because that's not directed at me...

[Twilight]

Well to me people that like paramore, All time low etc have better taste, but thats just to me, not everyone has no one has the same taste, some people will hate it,some will love it.
TBH though people really need to start trying music that not in the top 40,its not hard LOL;P

[Stu]

Because that's not directed at me...
Of course it was directed at you. That's why I put your lovely username in the post.

What difference does it make if it's directed at you? That's. What. The. Thread. Is. Here. For.

[Tom]

One good reason for what, listening to music that isn't popular? I don't know...broadening your horizons? Not having your taste dictated by the media?

what if you're not so bothered about listening to something other than chart music ... but you can't be bothered finding any so just stick to the charts?

[Shaun]

what if you're not so bothered about listening to something other than chart music ... but you can't be bothered finding any so just stick to the charts?

then that's just laziness...and that's coming from someone who spends probably 18 hours a day in bed.

There is only one reason to like Paramore. And you know it :tongue:

Then your only ever going to hear certain songs and a limited musical knowledge and scope is your punishment for being so apathetic.

[Twilight]

There is only one reason to like Paramore. And you know it :tongue:

If so, why do girls like Paramore LOL:P

[Enid]

Although I suppose if some people are happy enough cooped up in their little musical bubble, that's fine. I just think a lot of you would be pleasantly surprised if you decided to try something different for a change.

[Stu]

Because Enid said it was directed at me.
Yeah. And you said it was directed at you. And I said it was directed at you.

Mission control, we are failing to find a problem.

[Enid]

Well he did not quote you, and it was a statement more than anything. I don't think he had any intention of starting a fight.

[Shaun]

Oh come off it - you're on a Big Brother forum for ****'s sake, you have the time.

I agree, this time last year my fave artist was Miley Cyrus:P
but i tried something different, and liked it way more, Miley Cyrus is just meh to me now:P

[Nicky.]

I know this will sound weird, but someone who has the same taste as me... because I like the music.

Or someone who likes people who write their own stuff... that's good too :D

[Tom]

Oh come off it - you're on a Big Brother forum for ****'s sake, you have the time.

I'm not saying I don't. I just can't be bothered if I'm honest plus I don't listen to music much anyway. Just music channels as background noise or when I'm out. I don't really care about having limited knowledge or whatever, it doesn't affect me.

[InOne]

If so, why do girls like Paramore LOL:P

They might want to lick her out too, who knows lol

[Twilight]

they might want to lick her out too, who knows lol

lol:p

[MarkWaldorf]

If so, why do girls like Paramore LOL:P

because most of them jumped on the bandwagon after twilight?

[Twilight]

because most of them jumped on the bandwagon after twilight?

Ew i hate fans like that, i knew twilight before paramore, but i didn't know that paramore had a song in twilight until like 3 months, after liking paramore.
LOL

[Firewire]

Anyone can have a good music taste, in their opinion.

There isn't really a "good music taste", if you listen to a certain type of music because you enjoy it, then that is fine.

If you hate another genre then that's fine too.

[Ross]

Um, well good music taste to me is music I like. I don't really judge anyone on what music they like. I listen to alot of the chart music, that's mt choice but I do enjoy giving other genres a try. It's good to lengthen your knowledge sometimes.

I don't think it's fair for anyone to say someones music taste is wrong or stupid. Each to their own.

[Jack_]

As a collective term a 'good music taste' does not exist. Sure, what you like and listen to is a 'good music taste', and anyone that likes the same thing you'll also see as having a 'good music taste'. But just because you like an artist/genre, it doesn't mean everybody else has to, or else they have a **** taste in music. Music is perceptive, just like many other things.

I'd agree that people should expand their music knowledge and taste, and even though I haven't gone that far musically so far in my life, I've promised myself that I will, because I love music and want to hear new things, eventually. But then again, not everybody is as passionate about music as someone else is.

Some people just need to get off their ****ing high horse and accept that their music taste is not the be all and end all of music, and that their music taste is just their opinion and not a fact. If you ask me, music snobbery is worse than not broadening your horizons in the first place.

[Tom4784]

A good music taste is a broad music taste, There's no such thing as a bad genre, only bad artists. I've got no time for people who just stick to one genre and such, I'd find it utterly boring.

[Mrluvaluva]

I am an eclectic music fan. I listen to anything and everything. I won't ignore a certain genre because any of them are very diverse. I think a person should be open minded about music and not dismissive. I like to listen to music of all ages too. You cannot define what is "good taste". It doesn't exist. Everybody has different taste. Enjoy what you listen to and don't get too hung up about it. It's there to enjoy.

[MrGaryy]

as most have said, good taste is varied taste. But to me it's also about being open to all music [i.e Tom limiting himself to chart music, Laura refusing to listen to a GaGa song or Robbie song or w/e] because you NEVER know what will take your fancy and artists [artists that is - not Britney Spears or The Saturdays] change all the time so you shouldn't let silly things get in the way of that.

I feel I have a pretty good balance at the minute. Like, I can very much enjoy pop fluff like Britney, Heidi Montag, Leona, ect. but most importantly I can discern between that and real music that has been produced by a real artist.

I am open to all music, I'm just not a fan of chasing music because I'm not big on music. If music finds me other than on TV/radio (e.g. someone sending me links to lesser known songs or if I watch a programme which uses a song I really like) then I'll listen that way but I don't make the effort to find it.

[LemonJam]

When the music is very well written is good music.

[MrGaryy]

but your lack of effort to look for new music has therefore closed you off from it. You have said, if you don't hear a song rammed down your throat by radio and TV, there's no chance you'll ever hear it.

[Jords]

I agree with this. :thumbs:

I like to listen to a bit of everthing, I have preferences though - RnB, Pop & Rock.

Electrophobe. Electronic music can be as deep, engrossing, powerful and emotional as any other form of music, it's just that it gives talentless morons the ability to come up with uncreative tracks really, really fast and easy. Utilized properly though and electronic music is amazing. A synth is capable of generating a new sound nobody has ever heard before. That's much more exciting than straightfoward rock tracks that bore me nowdays [and there are very, very few things happening in the conventional rock genres these days that would disprove the fact that it's in a severe state of stagnancy and has been for many years]. Good electronic bands have no two tracks that sound the same. In that respect it's a much more varied and much more open ended form of music than the basic package of guitars, drums and bass.

Also, about taste being subjective, true, but some people simply have not tasted enough. Plenty of the pop acolytes will grow into different music tastes as they get older. Mark my words.

[Stacey.]

Producing an electronic track is very difficult and time consuming and requires just as much creativity and knowledge. You take a look at any DAW, and you'll understand why.

Exactly. It can be incredibly tedious business. Cubase gave me nightmares for a good while. Thank god for Reason and Ableton.



Yeah that's the problem. See virtually anyone can start making electronic music on a computer on their own, and upload it online, so your getting a sea of junk.
I've just started on FL Studio 9. This program infuriates me at times.

The closest i've ever gotten to making music is Music 2000 for the PS1 :laugh: I'd like to give it a try though.

Tough out to master but plenty of YouTube tutorials around.

FL gets dismissed as basic quiet a lot but it depends what VST's you are using. Get the right ones and you can make some brilliant sounding stuff on it. I find FL is best for more formulaic, structured tracks like Trance.

I'd have the patience for it once there's some kind of tutorials online for them and I can do it in my own time. Just saw what my cousin is doing with them over in the States and it's very impressive.

but your lack of effort to look for new music has therefore closed you off from it. You have said, if you don't hear a song rammed down your throat by radio and TV, there's no chance you'll ever hear it.

Not at all- most of my music is made up of albums from bands I've heard in clubs etc, and if I hear a song by a mainstream artist in the charts sometimes I'll see what their album is like

[MeMyselfAndI]

Leona Lewis.

what the hell

[*mazedsalv**]

If its in my opinion is good.
EG. I happen to like loads of dance club music, and electro beats, along with RnB, Hip Hop, and a few Indie songs, so its quite varied.

Another example, I like Calvin Harris music as his music is very eletric and positive, but on the other hand some people may hate him.

He's probably the only artist out of a lot, that all his released songs I think are great.
"Acceptable in the 80s", "The Girls", "Merrymaking at my place", "Im Not Alone", "Ready for the weekend", "Flashback" and "You used to hold me"... all brilliant IMO, but people might laugh at me :D

There isn't really such a thing is good music taste IMO. It's like saying someone has a good taste in food, we all like different things.

[GhettoSuperstar]

Imo there is no such thing.

To say 'you have a great taste in music' to another would suggest you have similar taste in music to that person.

[lol]

Well there is no good music taste as it's all opinions.

But I think good music is things with variation, different instruments for different moods, passionate, powerful music.
I like bands with masterpieces, for example I Won't See You Tonight Part 1 by Avenged Sevenfold. An extremely emotional song, created by the violins and orchestra.
