I like music with a hook, lyrics that are poetic or sometimes silly and a voice that communicates character or emotion.
All of my favorite songs make me smile from the moment I hear the first note. That is how I define great music, at least for me. Tell them who you really are. They want to know your musical taste too!
Hey new eels album out, let me know what you think...I can't decide whether I'm into it...sounds like a collection of leftovers from Daisy, Souljacker and Shootenanny
