Why I listen to music? Honestly I have no better reason other than I just love music as an art form. I liked it as a kid and my appreciation of it has done nothing but increased over the years.
I listen to almost everything that I've had a chance to check out, but my favorite type of music is late 70's/early 80's punk, post-punk and new-wave. This would include everything from The Clash to The Minutemen, The Fall, Public Image Ltd., New Order, The Jam, Talking Heads, so on and so forth. I like the direct and down-to-earth approach of these genres and the passion/sincerity that you can hear. Punk is great if I'm feeling political or want to get pumped-up, post-punk is great for something more artsy and creative, and new-wave is great for color and pure pop-catchiness.
Favorite bands at this point are The Mekons and The Fall.
