Musical Taste?
What’s your taste in Music? English allows us to use the word taste in other areas of life than food. You can have good taste or bad taste in fashion, music and even friends. When one talks about one’s taste, we are talking about what we prefer or like.
When it comes to Music, Movies and Books we talk about genres (pronounced John rah or if you prefer Zahn rah) and it refers to the way we can separate these into groups with similar characteristics so we have comedy movies, romance, horror, action and Science fiction to name a few. The same is true for music.
So what genres of music do you like?
When we discuss our opinions on music, we can use expressions such as:
I’m crazy about it …
I love it…
I like it…
It’s Ok …
I don’t mind…
It’s not my cup of tea.
I’m not crazy about it.
I don’t care for it.
I don’t like it.
I hate it.
I’m sure I am forgetting some expressions. Maybe you can supply some.
Anyway back to genres -
Here are some of the songs that I would play for my class to (1) see if they knew the Genre and (2) to discover their taste in music.
Listen and tell us what you think. Do you know the genre? What’s your opinion of it?

Bugun sizlar bilan bir muhim mavzuda fikr almashmoqchiman. O'yin dunyosida ko'p o'yinlar va saytlarga duch kelamiz, lekin ulardan qaysi biri eng yaxshisi? O'zimning tajribamga ko'ra, o'yinlarni tanlashda bir necha muhim jihatlarga e'tibor berish zarur. Avvalo, saytning xavfsizligi va litsenziyaligi juda muhim. Agar sayt rasmiy litsenziyaga ega bo'lsa, unda o'yin jarayoni adolatli va xavfsiz bo'ladi. Shuningdek, o'yin turlari ham juda muhim. O'yinlar turli xil bo'lishi kerak, shunda har kim o'ziga yoqadigan o'yinni topishi mumkin. Menga sport o'yinlari, slotlar va stoldagi o'yinlar juda yoqadi, chunki ular doimiy ravishda yangi g'oyalar va imkoniyatlar taklif etadi. Yana bir muhim jihat - foydalanuvchilar uchun qulay interfeys va mobil ilovalar. Mobil ilovalardan foydalanish orqali istalgan joyda o'ynash imkoniyati juda qulay pin-up-uz.fun. Yana, bonuslar va aksiyalarni e'tiborsiz qoldirmaslik kerak. Har bir foydalanuvchi bonuslardan foydalanish imkoniyatiga ega bo'lishi kerak, chunki bu o'yin jarayonini yanada qiziqarli qiladi.
Oxirida, o'z tajribangizni o'rtoqlashish va boshqa o'yinchilar bilan fikr almashish juda muhim. Sizlar ham o'z fikrlaringizni bildirishingiz mumkin. Keling, birgalikda qiziqarli muhokamalar olib boraylik!
Ahhh... 'Simon Ferocious' made the list?
The list is too long.
I like rock songs the most. And maybe I still think that music can destroy the world, like literally tear the universe into pieces.
I hate chanson.
Music selection is depand on my mood, but one thing is i'm so carzy about songs, especially in friend gathering or picnic parties. sometime i listen slow music in my room.
I like all kinds of good music that relaxes me and makes me feel nice. My favourite kind of music is classical maybe because I play a musical instrument and enjoy myself with these pieces of music.
which instrument do you play?
Hello, I really love the music. I'm from Argentina, but I dont hear Tango because the lyrics are often sad or nostalgic. I'm crazy about Dave Matthews band, but unfourtunatly I dont understand very well lyrics...I like jazz, rock, blues, reggae, country, folk....Today musicians like Jhon Mayer, Jack Johnson, Alicia Keys or Norah Jhonson are my favorites....Before were UK bands like Genesis, Yes, Led Zeppelin, The Cure, U2, The Smiths and so many others. And allways music from Argentina and Brazil, whose are really good . I think reggaeton is for parties, but I dont heard normally that. For me Spotify is an amazing way to discover new artist. Best regards for everyone.
I didn't get into nonEnglish music much except for Latino with Selena although I am aware that a lot of Music genres exist outside the English speaking world. I didn't realize Tango music was sad.
So you watched Selena live concert?)
It seems I've similar taste in music as Peony, just try to avoid reggeaton (if that's music) Anyway nothing like live music, right?
No, I never got to see Selena live. She was killed before I started my hobby of concert photos - would have loved to have seen her though.
