Pertaining To My Favorite Music

If you'll look to the right of this post, you'll see a link that leads to my complete profile. If you click that link you'll see that my favorite music is simply "Any but country or christian." I realize this sort of defeats the purpose of having a list of my favorite music, but honestly, the typical song ranges between a minute in a half to three minutes. And there are how many new songs released each year? A few thousand? A few tens of thousands? Really, it's too fluid of a category for me to tie myself down to a handful of songs that I probably won't like in three weeks.

I guess I could just put down the "Greatest Hits of Andy" or something over there, but really, aren't there enough songlists with the same classics of the 80s, 90s and now on the internet? Let's be realistic, people my age have a tendancy to like Smells Like Teen Spirit. We really shouldn't need to frame it on the internet so our "music buddies" can find us. I really need something more than having one or two songs in common to base a friendship (even a soulless internet one) off of.

Oh, and as for the lack of country and christian? This is solely because my freshman roommate listened to the both of them far far too much. There's a handful of songs in either genre that I not only tolerate, but actually enjoy. However, rules of thumb exist for a reason, so it stays.
