My Preference In Music-

To be perfectly honest, I don't listen to music as often as most people probably do. I never really have a favorite band or group. I just tend to pick out a few songs I like and add it to the small list of songs I listen to. I'm not one of those people that hear one song from a group and then instantly go listen to every other piece of music they have ever written. I kind of feel like this puts me at a disadvantage because I tend to not know what the differences between two different groups of music, unless its extremely obvious. However, if I were to take a guess to what genre really spoke to me I would assume it would be metal, and classical music. Like I said before I like orchestrated music, but it is much harder for me to define what I like in music from today. I do know three things though: I love songs that include orchestras in them, I tend to like rapidly high pitched guitar parts and guitar parts in general, and when you put them together then tend to be songs I really enjoy. There isn't a really good explanation of why I like songs like that. I just do. I guess its because I been around more classical music most of my life, and I have been writing 18th century four part harmonies for music theory classes for years that has given me my appreciation for classical music, and I guess discovering pieces form the Metal genre is how I came to like them. But adding a little from both categories just seem to work in a interesting way.
