I could have put this in the Media Hub section, but I'm not just talking about your favourite song or discussing Eminem.
You know those times when you hear a song once and you get really addicted to listening to it and just keep playing it back? I've been like this recently with my new found love for J-Rock. While working my ass off in getting certain work done, I'll play certain songs on the iPod repeatedly for some time (complete with really good noise blocker ear sets so that I'm drowned in my own little world). Say...in one piece, it's the way the electric guitars are played alternatively in left and right speaker, giving the passing siren car effect, complete with the 16 beat drums, bass and fast repetitive aggressive lyrics sung. In another piece, it's the change in slower and mocking singing that suddenly starts to smash through with angry yelling and guitar jamming while sounding like they're preparing to go to war. In yet another song, it's the passion you can feel in the voice (that's not Mariah Carey - ugh) - more of the deep vocals combined with the way the lyrics are composed phonetically and the varying tones that can seduce your ears while the vocalist is singing about distress and deep soft bass in the back (then again, I think it was the music video that really did it).
Of course, preference for musical styles change all the time, depending on the mood. While I may have been more of a latin pop fan in the past few years where I have certain favourites (for different reasons), obviously it really depends on the current mood you're in. I suppose lately it's more hard anger on my part, along with my recent (visual) love for going all punk/rock/goth.
So...what sort of songs get stuck in your mind when the mood strikes?
