Personal Post 2 - Music

If there is one thing I value almost as much as movies, it's music. Music has had a profound influence on my life ever since I was young. I don't play an instrument or anything, but I have great admiration for those who do. Music is an art form, and being able to portray emotions through sound is truly great in my opinion. It doesn't apply to just one genre of music either, every genre has unique features that appeal to a variety of listeners, whether it's rap/hip hop, alternative rock, jazz, soul, you name it.

I like all kinds of genres (with the exception of country and death metal) and each one appeals to certain moods I'm in. My favorite artist is probably Kanye West, who has some of the best and most original music out there. I also like Drake and Eminem while we're on the "hip hop" topic. However I appreciate other forms of music as well. Death Cab for Cutie, Coldplay, Anthony Hamilton, are all amongst my favorites.

What I appreciate about music, is it's ability to make you feel. Whether it's excitement or just plain calmness, it plays a vital role in our society, and will continue to do so well into the future. It's a very important part of my life.

  2. I'm a big fan of music too; the stranger the better. Maybe if you could get the Democrats and Republicans to start off the day with a singalong, they might agree more. I'd pay to see that.
