Yes, I know there are many music threads, it's just that I'm bored...

I used to be really close-minded with music. I only listened to music that was related to the Classic Rock-era. Now, it's quite different. I'm listening to classical the most, but I've been getting into Miles Davis, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, soul singers like Stevie Wonder, and a few other things as well.

I know it will be difficult for people to say "Yes", but I can admit I am close-minded with some things, such as Television. My sister recommends me programs to watch, but I just don't want to.

Also, to add to conversation, I still listen to Classic Rock along with Modern Rock. However, it's difficult for me to find modern Rock I enjoy (The Strokes have done the best for me), and a person can only listen to Classic Rock for so long. It's a genre that isn't producing new music (because it only applies to a certain time period), and it is a very short time period which it existed.

I like to think I am. I do have my limits, but I do like a lot of different genres of music. and I'm willing to listen to anything, but I can usually judge the band after the first two songs I hear.

I listen to Rock, Rap, Jazz, some Classical... Hell, I even love Raffi.

So, no, I'm not. I am for books, however. I'm a VERY picky reader.

I'm actually pretty open-minded with everything ( >_> ), so if someone suggests that I listen to or watch something, I usually do it.

For those of you that don't like R&B at all could you listen to this and tell me if you dig it?
D'Angelo - Me & Those Dreamy Eyes of Mine

Its one of my favorite songs of all time. Also yes, I am pretty open minded, but I hate most Metal and Country.

If you mean because I can stand rap I'm close minded in music, maybe...

but if you ask me what I listen to... Almost all type of rock, electronic, classical, metal, japense pop, and some britain pop... I think i'm listening to more stuff that anyone who is pointing his finger at me for calling me a close minded individual.

that was pretty good. does he actually play all the instruments? if he does he's really talented.

I tend not to like r&b because it seems like it always talks about "girl i love you"

I'm sort of closed minded. I hate most modern rock because very little of it stands out, and all the songs sound like they're imitating an older, more popular band.

Absolutely. But the close-mindedness developed from understanding, instead of the lack of understanding that forms its basis for the majority of close-minded listeners. Having devoted most of my life to music, it doesn't much surprise me that my tastes are very specific and difficult to satisfy.

Yeah, he is very talented. A great Producer too...

Also for people that hate Hip Hop listen to this... Listen carefully to this first verse.

Im not close minded about music, it seems that once you take an instrument seriously you start to appreciateall types of music, rather than just one or two genres

I don't know.

Some things I just don't want to try, not because I think I won't like them or they are of a particular genre, but because I want to listen to a certain familiar song at the time.

I have a diverse taste in music, however I don't tend to listen to extremes of anything. For example, I hate heavy metal.

However I'm willing to give most things a try before I make my mind up about themm
