There is no way I could pick one song to be my least favorite. Again, I don’t tend to have favorites or non-favorites over the long term, so this is difficult.


I just picked a couple of songs at random to put here. I don’t even know them or the ‘artists.’

I have very sensitive tastes; I think of it as refined. Some so-called music to me is very irritating and grates on my nerves. I dislike (don’t want to use the work ‘hate’) most heavy metal, punk, etc. Anything that is too loud or hard just doesn’t do what I want music to do for me.

Plus, I don’t count rap as even being music. It doesn’t have harmony, and most of it has no melody. Rap is more like lyric poetry, and most of it contains bad language and themes concerning sex, drugs, or violence. And since we are what we think, I feel it just keeps people down, depressed, and powerless. If you want to get out of the ghetto, stop listening to ghetto music.

Music is my calming influence, the thing that makes life manageable to me. It keeps me sane and gives me strength. Why should I listen to anything with screaming, over-amplified instruments, depressing lyrics, or just plain trash?
