Their music has to have a certain profile in terms of s.o.h./intensity of words,that something distinctive that makes'em stand out from the rest,and the ability to challenge the new times,in that respect DAVID BOWIE has always been my fave choice. But most of all I have to listen to every single song to assertain whether that band does me good or doesn't! And now it's your turn folks.....!!!!!Replies:

energy and stage presence. if you can nail those
down then your musical will (generally) follow. of course the music is ver important. ------------- *Remember all advice given by Asuma is for entertainment purposes only. Asuma is not a licensed medical doctor, psychologist, or counselor and he does not play one on TV.* |

There are too many reasons to love a band, some are very simple others very complex, but the main thing is because I like the music. Iván |

Large breasts, no bra and a silent mic, like the "Tempted" video from Squeeze. Oh yeah, there's love in that video..... Er....... Good melodies and well written lyrics.. |

I usually ignore the lyrics because I never think the meaning of the words add anything to a song. I only care about the friggin' music! That said, I love a band that can make music that isn't based on repetition and simple chordchanges. ------------- Epic. |

Melodies that haunt and stay with you for years - From Nick Drake to Genesis & Camel Music that inspires and excites - Rush to Led Zeppelin Songs that speak to you when you are at impressionable age Music is an inspiration and a companion through good and bad times, to most people for all sorts of reasons. I listen to Music everyday, and try my best to respect the tsates of thers knowing that if they care about musci like I do, their choices probably mean as much to them as mine does to me. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Its lyricism, the sound of their music, and whether they're prominent or unknown artists, the presence on stage is important as well.

It sort of helps when the singer looks as good and sounds as good as this... http://www.greglake.com/newsite/html/discpops/08FTB.mp3 - http://www.greglake.com/newsite/html/discpops/08FTB.mp3

That'd be Dalys Toruño, lead singer of EQUINOX. A great neo prog band from Panama!

If the music and/or lyrics can make the hairs stand up on the back of my neck, then that band/song has my undying adoration! There is nothing specific that does this, just the right combination of every single element hitting at exactly the right time. Good examples are; Radiohead performing "No Surprises" and "Creep" at Glastonbury in 1997. Hearing Didier Squiban's "Molene" for the first time in Brittany last week. Seeing Hawkwind playing as the sun began to make its first appearance over the horizon at Stonehenge in 1982. Marillion's concert at Hammersmith Odeon, 14th December 1985 (the whole lot!) Emma Johnson playing Crusell's Clarinet Concerto and winning the Young Musician of the Year competition in 1984. "Firth of Fifth" on "Selling England by the Pound". "Wuthering Heights" (Kate Bush) All neck-hair raisers - who knows why |
