It seems like all music discussion topics are always about who has the best music. The more obscure the song, the better it is. People will constantly jabber on about how a band sucks making pointless arguments, because they are most likely unphilisophical and result in both parties being butthurt over who can say the other sucks more. So, why even bother with music discussion?
It's because music is probably the most prominent form of art in our daily lives. Hell, right now, I've got my Xbox 360 playing my music while I type away. Undoubtedly, with the rise of the internet and music sharing programs, as well as the ability to keep all of your music on one storage device, be it your handheld MP3 players such as the incredibly commercialized and slightly annoying to use iPod, or your own home computer, everybody has a collection of music that they enjoy on a daily basis. But, why do you like the music you like? Is it because you grew up with it? Is it because MTV featured it for 30 seconds on TRL? I don't know if that show still exists, I haven't bothered with the absolute shitfest MTV has become, but this isn't about MTV. MTV sucks, you all know it, it used to be good, but now it's not anymore, MTV2 is good sometimes, end of discussion, I don't wanna hear it.
What I hope for with this posting endeavor is for people to reflect upon themselves with what music they enjoy more than anything else, and why that is. This isn't about how many songs you have or which bands are better, but it's about Your music. Yes, You. Surprised I'm talking about you? Well, you should be. Also, talk to your mom sometime, she enjoys the time she spends bonding with you. If your mother is dead, then just go to her grave sometime and talk to her about things you wouldn't even talk to a psychiatrist about.
Anyways, what I want to know is what makes your music so much better than everyone elses? I don't want you talk to the songs themselves, but I want you talk about the memories you share with your music.
