Somebody who is honest and open. I know pretty high standards these days...lol
I like about everything except most rap. Right now the song that best describes how I feel is "Falling Inside the Black" by Skillet....Unlike most, I feel music on a very personal level. To me a beautiful song comes from the heart. It's not just notes, or words. It's majick. My favorite band definitely would have to be H.I.M. (very closely followed by Skillet, Comasoft, 30 Seconds to Mars, Kill Hannah, The Last Dance, The Cruxshadows, Bella Morte, Orgy, Lacuna Coil, and Negative). They are some of the few bands I can name that haven't given in to the Corporate Cloning Standard that the music industry has adopted these days. Their sound is very original and heartfelt and I respect them all for that.
Some other bands/performers/composers that I really like are A Perfect Circle, Nine Inch Nails, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Korn, ICP, Fuel, Marilyn Manson, Motley Crue, Guns N Roses, Scorpions, Queensryche, Ozzy, Journey, Frank Sinatra, Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, The Platters, The Penguins, Beach Boys, Beatles, Dead Sexy, Love Arcade, Action Reaction, Staind, Slipknot, Goo Goo Dolls, Bon Jovi, old school Green Day, Tchaicovsky, Beethoven, The Cult, Type O Negative, Anthrax, Pantera, Megadeth, old school Metallica (i.e. albums previous to Reload), David Bowie, Savage Garden, Damn Yankees, Warrant, Gin Blossoms, Incubus, Iron Maiden, Live, Loudness, Nirvana, Silverchair, Smashing Pumpkins, Ugly Kid Joe, Twisted Sister, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Sevendust, Stabbing Westward, Godsmack, Seether, Stone Sour, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Saliva, Smile Empty Soul, Collective Soul, Soul Asylum, Aerosmith, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Enigma, Lita Ford, Alice in Chains, Nonpoint, Dokken, Loreena McKennitt, Lifehouse, Kiss, Pink Floyd, Tom Petty, Queen, R.E.M., Vertical Horizon, E Nomine, Subway to Sally, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Garbage, Slayer, there are actually quite a few more but I got tired of typing so just ask me if you want to know if I like a particular band LOL.
I am also a big fan of Phantom of the Opera. A well performed opera is as riveting to me as a live concert.
