YEEHAW :v v: :v v: More into Norse myself but we should totes swap notes. Also welcome back! I'm older than I look but apparently you're still my senior here, rofl.
Forcing an individual staffie to own a decision that 1) could cause a lot of grief and 2) may not even have been theirs doesn't seem like it's worth it to me. Staff knows what staff does, so if you really must know then you can ask just about anybody on the rainbow squad.
Rhythm. Of all the strange, seemingly remote songs, styles, and genres I listen to, that's the only common thread. It's just got to have a good beat. In rock, I prefer a kickin' riff to a two-minute solo; in hip-hop, if the beat is lazy then count me out. I like complex drums and heavy bass guitars, synths that rumble in your gut and voices that erupt from the depths of the diaphragm. I tend to prefer instrumental songs, as I like to imagine things when I listen and I find it easier to project images onto the music in my head; with songs that have lyrics, I feel like I have to stick to images or scenes that align with the lyrics. The only thing I can think of that really kills a song for me are whiny, nasally singers. I don't care much about the pitch, as long as it sounds like they're declaring the lyrics rather than mumbling or crying them (see: Slipknot vs. Linkin Park, Faun's female singer vs. Faun's male singer).
