life
Any of it that I find innovative, moving & emotionally genuine (not necessarily in that order)... words are not necessary.
With that said, lyrics are especially important to me when they are present. I find it difficult to truly enjoy music that I simply don't identify with, agree with or understand what's trying to be conveyed.
I also don't feel that music has to be fast and aggressive to be powerful. Actually some of the most powerful songs I can think of are quite the opposite. I tend to agree with the quote, "music is the space that exists between the notes." But there is a time and place for everything.
In a nutshell I like it all, but I'm pretty damn picky.
Gladiator, Garden State, House of Flying Daggers, Elf, Any Given Sunday, Happy Gilmore, What Dreams May Come, A Beautiful Mind, Hotel Rwanda, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, What the **** do We Know, Wedding Crashers, Stranger Than Fiction, Grindhouse, An Inconvenient Truth, Underworld, The Shining
The Office, 30 Rock, Hells Kitchen, Battlestar Gallactica. Also, I like Comedy Central and watching football.
Brave New World, 1984, Naked Pictures of Famous People, Contact, The Alchemist, The Valkyries, The Journeys of Socrates, The Celestine Prophecy, The Peaceful Warrior Series, The Tao of Pooh, The Te of Piglet, The Artist's Way, The Razor's Edge, The Road Less Travelled
Anyone who follows their dreams, no matter how far off the beaten path they may be deemed by society.
