There are a lot of songs to choose from. We can hear them wherever we are. Without music life would be boring. Most people wan't to do their task while listening to their favorite songs. Personally I opt soft music most of the time because its very relaxing and soothing. It help me a lot when I'm down. It uplift my spirit. I don't like rock music that much because its irritating to the ears. How about you? What's your favorite type of music and why?

Ah nice to hear, the only thing with rock it can also be hard to define sometimes, Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Glam Rock, and then goes into metal which branches out even more. As a fan of Rock, name some artists and bands you like.

Personally I love rock. I love the way it makes me feel, the way it sounds and the emotion it can convey. At the same time, I also appreciate soft music, as long as it's creative and I can take something from it.
I agree that any task is makde easier if you're listening to some good music.

I suppose it depends on the mood you're in.I come from a musical family and I know and appreciate all sorts of music.I was a child when Rock 'n Roll arrived on the music scene,hence I was hooked on that kind of music.Even though this was the case I knew and loved other music pre-Rock 'n Roll. Later I was influenced by a different type of sound.As far as music is concerned I am eclectic and there is little in the way of music that I could say I dont like.

What I listen to depends on my mood..Some days I want to listen to nothing but Jazz or R&B, other days I like old punk or goth music and other days still I enjoy listening to soft rock or ballads or maybe top 40 type tunes and so on....I love a wide variety of genres when it comes to music so there is no "one" prefered for me..

It really depend on my mood but I usually listen to rock music. Yeah for some people they find rock music irritating to the ears. My sister don't like rock music so I have to used earphones when listening to it. It helps me to relax and live my everyday life. I just love rock music and don't have any reason why not to love it.

I like both music, actually I'll listen to both of them depends on my mood. If I feel gloomy and kinda bored, I'll listen to more upbeat and a bit loud rock, and if I'm feeling like I want to hear some soft music especially if I'm reading or doing some tedious stuff, I'll listen to soft music. However, I think I prefer more to listen to soft music, as it is more pleasant and gentle in the ear.

It depends on my mood. I listen to rock when I am angry, happy, or just in the hardcore mood. As for soft music, I listen to that when I am sad, depressed, or in a light mood. Again, music is all about my mood.

It really depends on the mood. Rock or something upbeat when I am trying to get chores done. Soft for when I want to relax. Or cuddle with hubby. Music is universal. I enjoy all types. Brings out the best in all feelings, I think.

I think u are stereotyping rock there. I think you would find some fantastic rock song, and not much of rock is that irritating. When you say get irritaed by music, Im guessing the screaming, that is more Goth Rock/Goth Metal, which is a load of shite anyway....

For me I prefer soft music - any soft soothing music. When I'm hard at work, I find having soft soothing music in the background helps me to relax. It helps sooths my mind and body as well - helps to make me more comfortable, at ease to do my work. Without music, I find my mind tense to wander and get distract with every little noise that I can hear.

Thanks for posting this. Actually I thought To post this one. I link soft music because it is always keeps as calm and it will be a treat to our earn if the song is goo. moreover the word are clearly pronounced in the soft music rather than the rock. But all it depends upon the situation. Mostly soft music is the preferred one compared to rock

In a way it isnt realistic to sya soft. It is much harder to define soft. Pop Cant always be soft, Rn'B cant always be soft, Hip-Hop or Rap isnt always soft, but I guess that is what you are all saying. There is always Soft Rock if you want to try that, it is also soft, and not real hard.

ROCK!! haha. well I like rock songs but only those like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. When I am really in the good mood to listen to music. It makes me bang my head and tap my hands while feeling the music. I also like acoustic songs. It clears my mind and make a peaceful atmosphere in my room. But I dont listen to it more often compared to rock songs.

I like soft music. I even can play classical. But I Love to listen to rock music.when I am upset, I prefer hard rock to anything else. There are times when I prefer to listen to soft rock but most of the time it is rock and roll.

I prefer both of them, depending on my mood and what genre suits my current emotion. Every music has its own purpose. They are both good. Nothing is superior than the other. They are at par.
