So You Think You Love Music?

One comes across numerous people claiming to be ‘music lovers’ or ‘hardcore music fans’. But once you ask them which songs they listen to, their reply is always (or 90% of the time) that they like Pitbull, Katy Perry and a bunch of other people who usually make it to the charts. But… are they actually ‘good’?

 

Personally, I think Pitbull is crap. Similarly, Ms. Perry, Taio Cruz, Enrique Iglesias and all the other drunk singers are worthless. True music lovers know that the good music doesn’t always make it to the charts, with a few exceptions of course (e.g: Rolling in the Deep – Adele).

So, let me give you a lesson a music.

My Favourite Music of 2011 (Part 3)

• Monster – Paramore
  I lost all hope in Paramore, until this song came out.
  

• Misery – Maroon 5
  Not bad.
  

• Moves Like Jagger – Maroon 5
  Different, but once again, not bad.
  

My Favourite Music of 2011 (Part 2)

• This Is Letting Go – Rise Against
  Yes, I love RA
  
• Pumped Up Kicks – Foster The People
  At first, this seemed like a 90s song to me.
  

My Favourite Music of 2011 (Part 1)

Since 2011 is over, I thought I’d give a list of my favourite music of the year (In no particular order).

• ET – Katy Perry
  To be honest, I hate Katy Perry. But this was one song that stuck to me
  

• Losing My Religion – Dia Frampton
  I like the REM version better, but I did not know about it until I heard the Dia version this year. And lets admit it, it’s not a bad attempt. (Edit: I JUST noticed that she was in American Idol 😐 )
  

• Rolling in the Deep – Adele
  Who did NOT like this?!
