So I've just learned that indifference to music is a thing, and that things's name is
music specific anhedonia. I know a few people who are indifferent to music, and I don't understand
that indifference. Well, research has been done, and apparently they just can't get any enjoyment out of
music because, I guess, their brains are wired differently? :notes: :dunno: :notes: Anyone like that here?

Goodness, no. I could not survive without music.

Me neither, it's my drug of choice. I have to listen for hours a day. :headphones:
-
Enjoy music under the right circumstances, though it never really occurs to me to do so. Music is usually someone else's idea.
-
I create music and I listen to music. I can't imagine a different way of being.
-

Ditto.
A great deal of my life has been devoted to producing, enhancing, directing, recording, performing, reinforcing and mostly ENJOYing music.*
I used to say I never turn my music off, but to be honest, these days are more "hands-on" than days used to be.
I will say that I only RARELY turn off my music these days.
*almost forgot sharing music

Some poor souls apparently don't enjoy it at all. :(
I think we should do something for them. How about a benefit concert? :zoinks:

Oh couldbe sweetie, you aren't REALLY so daft as to....well...that^
My old man is FOREVER whining about the volume of my music, yabbering on at me to turn it down, and being an impatient prick at that, keeps going on at me if I am actually in the middle of lowering the volume, and is never satisfied either, and to top it off with a creamy mountain of freshly whipped tosspot, keeps moaning and whining like a little 5 year old brat who's just been told by mom that no, he cannot have more sweeties before you have eaten your tea, whining like a bitch because I use the volume setting in youtube, and not the master setting on the computer.
Unfortunately I am stuck using his laptop atm, that he doesn't use, otherwise, I would have told him to shut his trap or he isn't getting so much as a thousandth of a decibel down. And if he kept on, I would turn it up. Oh, and tell him to eff off:P

I do enjoy music but I also at times enjoy time without it, my wife and daughter on the other hand can't do without
-
I used to really love music...couldn't live a day without it almost...but my life is full of hyper, talkative people now...so I find myself craving silence more than anything else.
I turn the radio off a lot anymore. Sometimes it's soothing, sometimes it's just one more noise and my senses are screaming already.
-
Music IS my silence.
Having something heavy blasting out by the side is calming and relaxing, I often drift off to sleep with someone like mudvayne, disturbed, rammstein, combichrist or draconian cranked up as loud as my speakers will go
-
I have music on in my car. Currently it is a Soundgarden CD and Kayleigh doesn't like it. Too bad, my car. I could always put Alice In Chains on, she dislikes them even more.
I don't listen to music as much as I used to. I think depression has played a part in that. I used to get obsessed with various artists and bands. No longer. I don't even have any music on my phone.

Seriously, though, I cannot imagine life without music. My sympathies to anyone who can.

Oddly enough, I prefer to have the radio off at work, though Boss Lady insists that it stay on. ::)
That's because I want the music that I like, and listening to the same Top 40 stuff over and over
all day doesn't work for me. Also, the kitchen is a noisy place, which impairs my ability to
hear people speaking, and sometimes the radio is just more noise, as it is for you.
It also drowns out the songs I'm trying to play in my head. :(

Currently in heavy rotation in my head:
Judee Sill, Herb Alpert, and this. :heart:

Where I work at the Salvos, the radio can't be picked up unfortunately. So we rely on CDs and people's USB sticks. We have two in circulation at the moment and I know all the songs on both of them to the point of being sick of them. And there's weird songs on one of them, for instance Kriss Kross. Anyone remember those two kids?
-
Kriss Kross, didn't they wear their jeans backwards and sing "Jump Jump"?
My grandfather was a professional musician for nearly 60 years, and I never recall him listening to music or talking about music he did or didn't like. It was just work to him, generally he seemed indifferent to music. He could listen to someone playing music and tell you if they were any good or not.
I like music as long as it's not Christmas music. Yuck.

That's them.
I can't stand Christmas songs. Same stuff every year sung by different people.

Music is very important to me. I love heavy metal so much I finally started learning to play some on the guitar. I've been improving slowly, and have learned the rhythm sections of a few songs, but mostly I just learn bits and pieces of individual songs. But I try as hard as I can to play a whole song. Some of them are very difficult, even the rhythm section. Don't really know any solos at this point and I wonder if I'll ever learn any. But knowing the rhythm is not so bad.
I slightly want to learn some of my easier songs on piano. There's a piano at the furry con that happens near here (Motor City Fur Con or MCFC) and since it;s not happpening until next year some time I occasionally like to tell myself I could potentially learn a song or two and show off at the con lol (there is a piano in the house here too UwU)

^What kind of heavy metal do you like?
We're in a different building at the Salvos now but there's still an issue with picking up digital radio stations. At the moment we're stuck with Smooth FM. They play the same assortment of music every day. The customers like it but those of us who have to hear the same songs every day we're there are slowly being driven up the wall.

Mostly trad metal, black sabbath, judas priest, etc. Also a little bit of thrash, a few doom/stoner metal bands. Well, mostly Sheavy on that score, lol. Sheavy is a difficult band to google unfortunately (it keeps search for "heavy" instead :facepalm2: ) and I can't find any tabs for their music. I'm also a big fan of running wild, which I'm not sure how to classify, although it's been a little while since I listened to it. I should break some out again, might help me feel better. I also have the obligate alice in chains discography, it's a good ouvre to work through when I want to re-tune my guitar six time :LOL: I also have a bunch of weird sludgy shit I downloaded off of youtube and occasionally remember to listen to.

Jar of Flies is my favourite Alice In Chains. Dirt is really depressing, I've recently realised.
Metallica is my all time favourite, especially the Load album. I haven't heard of many of those you listed.
