I love music. But.

I have maybe 300 songs on my entire computer. Maybe. From what I hear, the majority of you guys who care about this have upwards of ten, twenty, thirty, forty thousand. I cannot understand having any sort of attachment to that much music.

I don't have any sort of portable mp3 player because I prefer to accept long periods of silence and even lulls in conversations without immeadiately jamming headphones in.

Not counting movie soundtracks, I have never liked an album. Ever. Not one. The most songs I have ever liked on any one album is probably 3 or 4. The most songs I have ever liked from any one artist is probably 5 or 6, with Bowie or The Beatles or ABBA. I like and form attachments to individual songs, usually after hearing them by chance, but the concept of latching on to artists or taking in a whole album as some kind of song-transcending experience is alien to me.

I don't think I've ever liked any song anybody has ever recommended to me or thought that I'd like based on my "taste" in music, because I don't really have a taste in music. If you have to, I guess you could say the majority of what I like is "upbeat", but even that wouldn't be a very effective marker, certainly in terms of finding other music.

It's just not for me.

Edit: Okay, I thought of two albums I've liked every song on - Aqua's Aquarium when I was 8, and The Chieftain's The Bells Of Dublin at Christmas every year.

Nine Inch Nails would be OK...it's the Korn and Limp Bizkit crap.

Hey, I've only got *checks* 700 songs in my iTunes library. That's E with the 48,000 'Tunes.

Last.fm doesn't scrobble iPods very well anyway.

I so hope that if we get charts, Korn and Limp Bizkit will be in the top ten.
 
I don't listen to Limp Bizkit that much at all.

Now Korn I do. A lot.


I was going through every Nine Inch Nails album in order. To listen to a couple I haven't really got around to listening to and some I only listen to a couple of times. And the new ones I didn't really like.


Pretty Hate Machine is still the best one.



I also only have about 4,000 songs.
