When it comes to my taste in music and movies, I LOVE the older things.
For instance, I really do think that a lot of modern music is terrible. Don't get me wrong; people like Beyonce and Katy Perry are very talented artists, and I do enjoy their music, but my playlist is littered with music that tends to date a little older. For instance, I love the song 'Take On Me' by A-ha (I hate when young people call is 'Take Me On'; I mean, as much access as we have to music, and you can't even get the title right?!), and I always jam out to it whenever it comes on my playlist (even though I genuinely MURDER it). I am constantly surprising my Physics professor; first I made a reference to the 'Take On Me' music video in class, then I emailed him a link to him that had the song 'Rocket Man' by Elton John. I really do like old-school rock music too. I without a doubt in my mind believe that 'Hungry Like The Wolf' by Duran Duran is hands-down one of the best and most timeless rock songs ever made. Like, I could literally listen to the song on 'Repeat' for a good 2hrs straight. Other older artists I enjoy include Aretha Franklin and Michael Jackson.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE 80s movies. This does exclude 'Grease' and 'Grease 2', though, because I feel like the movie is extremely overrated. I have this unspoken goal to watch all the movies made in the 80s. My favorites so far have been 'Flashdance' and 'Dirty Dancing' (and, if I may say, the music selection for both these films were phenomenal; I have since added 'Hungry Eyes' by Eric Carman to my playlist).
Rap music is probably the exception to the fact that almost ALL of it now-a-days is terrible. It's rare that you'll catch me listening to modern rap music at my own will. Artists like Tupac, Biggie Smalls, Naz, (old)Jay-Z, Easy-E, ect. spark my interests much more than Drake and Nicki Minaj.
Now, some recent music is also really great. My current favorite artists are John Mayer and Train. I just love their sound. Others that I also appreciate include Maroon 5 and Mayday Parade.
And the interesting thing about my music taste is that it is expanded over a wide horizon of variety. I listen to just about all music except country (I tried, I really did....I just can't do it). And I think that for this reason, there's something for everybody on my playlist.
Songs that I am obsessing over include: 'Locked Out Of Heaven'- Bruno Mars/ 'Some Nights'- Fun./ 'Everybody Talks'- Neon Trees/ 'The A Team'- Ed Sheeran
Songs I will NEVER stop obsessing over: 'If We Ever Meet Again'- Timberland ft. Katy Perry/ 'Rock Your Body'- Justin Timberlake/ 'Love Sex Magic'- Ciara ft. Justin Timberlake/ 'Gravity'- John Mayer/ 'Drops of Jupiter'- Train/ 'Hey, Soul Sister'- Train/ 'Hungry Like The Wolf'- Duran Duran/ 'Nine in the Afternoon'- Panic! At The Disco/ 'Jamie All Over'- Mayday Parade/ 'Con Te Partiro'- Andrea Bocelli/ 'Dancing Queen'- ABBA/ 'Chiquitita'- ABBA/ 'Dirty Little Secret'- The All-American Rejects/ 'That Man Opposed'- Dalmation
....AND SO MUCH MORE!!
P.S.- I have this thing for Justin Timberlake....he's just so scrumptious!! :DD
