The music that you listen to doesn't "all sound the same". But in the grand sonic scale of music, it's pretty stylistically similar stuff.

Again, I'm not criticizing your tastes, so there's no need to get defensive.

You basically function within a musical microcosm whose parameters are defined by your own narrow tastes; discovering and coming to appreciate unfamiliar music is daunting, and it isn't always as immediately gratifying as you'd might hope.

But yeah, obviously it's "your right" to only listen to the few bands that you enjoy. Still, if you met a gamer who ONLY played, say, Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest and proclaimed all other games to not "be to his tastes" etc, etc, wouldn't you want him to experience a broader range?

heres the difference, ive played a wide range of games and enjoyed them (hence I own games from multiple genres)

ive listened to a wide range of music, the difference here is, I didnt like (hell, I cant stand some of it) much of it.

are you suggesting I force myself to listen to music I dont like? (all thats likely to do is increase my hatred of it)

if you want to try and reccomend music I might like, then go ahead, for reference, here is my Last.fm (you may find I like more bands than you think)

Considering most of what you listen to, how come the Clash isn't in your library at all?

I dont own all the music I like, I like there songs that ive heard, when I have the money, I may well download some of it

You should get London Calling (literally one of the greatest albums of all time), then their debut (also pretty incredible).

Here, I'll post some random songs/bands that you might like; I'm bored/listen to too much music so it's fun for me to do.

first one is okay, but I dont like the singers voice very much

second one is good, I liked it

third one ive heard before, its okay

if I were gonna download one it would be the second song, the others I wouldnt turn off if I heard them on the radio or something, idk that id download them though.

I'm not a big fan of the third one either, just thought I'd throw something random in the mix.
