musicman777 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Just curious. This past year, my um, musical taste has expanded into new areas. From what was an avid love for music like metal, house, alternative stuff mostly, I'm now listening to stuff like Lana Del Rey. I don't know why, but I freaking LOVE her music now. It's just, good, to me anyway and I am a musician (hence the username). Other artist too, such as Ellie Goulding. In fact, I'm slightly embarrassed to say I picked up a ticket to see one of Ellie's concerts in June, although I'm on the fence about going (tickets are resellable at this venue). What other guys on here are listening to this stuff???? Is it weird I listen to these singers? I see a post about Adele on here. I actually DON'T like her that much, in fact I think some of her new songs are knock-offs of Lana Del Rey, lol. Just curious. I don't know, I'm turning 26 this month. I don't really care what others thing about what I listen to anymore but at the same time I'm still partly curious what other guys are listening to.

dias Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I listen to mainstream usually(including the artists you mentioned) but my favorite music is female vocal trance (only female) and some songs of modern jazz or Frank Sinatra . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WithLove Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 If you can listen to and love pop singers, I can listen to and love Metallica, Van Halen, ZZ Top. Seems like a good trade to me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imsuperman Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I like a lot of female artists. I like Adele ok, Lady Gaga is actually pretty good, Mirel Wagner. I also want to marry Christina Perri and she's great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymore Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I tend to like female vocalists, especially in drum & bass music. One ex of mine hated that I liked female voices in music so much, lol. Talk about being jealous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coily Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 I too prefer women vocalists, but then Joan Jett or Nena could sing me the phone book. For me it's that women seem to have a broader vocal range in music these days than men; I swear out side of metal all men sound like eunuchs, no baritones or bass.

saluk Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I can appreciate all music. I went to a taylor swift concert. It was mostly for the girls I was with, but it wasn't a terrible experience. And there were a LOT of guys there. Many of them I believe were actual fans. All that to say, no you are not that strange. Like what you like, and no need to be ashamed! And being a musician, I think it's good to not lock yourself down too much and only get your influence from one river. Some of the best musicians have mixed quite varied influences to produce something that feels new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman777 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Thanks for the responses, good to hear some other perspectives on this. Taylor Swift, ok, THAT is the cut off for me! lol I wouldn't judge others for listening to her but I can't stomach Taylor Swift. I feel she only gained fame after the whole "Kanye incident". But yeah, I do like a lot of other female singers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was listening to Taylor Swift when she was still singing about Teardrops on her guitar. This new stuff she sings, while not bad, really ain't all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
