Summary: I am more interested in the process people use to make music than in critiques of the finished product, the music itself. Listening to music for me is rather like looking at a still photograph of a ballet: I much prefer watching the movement that creates the ballet. In this analogy, the movement of the ballet equals the intentions, abandon, and exuberance of the people as they think of and construct new music and especially lyrics.

Though I have preferences about the end-product, the music itself, I don’t focus on those at MB. I’d rather read what songwriters in the songwriting section are thinking as they create new songs, because I want to learn about what the process is like for them and offer feedback. I also like to try to figure out what motivated and inspired established musicians to create their pieces. For me this analysis adds to, rather than detracts from, the appreciation of their music.

Still, I have described my musical tastes several times on MB.

Back in June, 4 days after I joined MB, I described my musical tastes in a post entitled, “My Musical Tastes,” in my intro thread:

AwwSugar...heh heh...yes, I like weird music about poles. That pole song probably shows a lot about my musical tastes. Did you notice I tried using counterpoint of melodies in it? And, of course, it is stuffed with rhymes.
