I was thinking today about why we like what we like in music. Clearly everyone here is a Beatle fan which means we like qualities in music that characterise The Beatles. Obviously that's not the extent of our musical likes which I'm sure for many of us a wide and varied.
But I was pondering music that I just can't get into at all. That is really "Muzak to my ears" (aside from Muzak of course). I can find something in most styles of music. Even rap and hip hop, which is pretty far from my tastes, I can get into the choruses or something in the rhythm.
For me there's one particular style I just can't get into at all. It's best characterised as female vocal jazz I suppose. I'm thinking of the smooth female voice often singing more off the melody than on it. Going into weird improvisations. I can understand that they're good singers and all. It just leaves me completely unmoved. It makes me switch channels faster than any other type of music I can think of.
