How does music affect you and what kind of music does what kind of affecting?

Right now im listening to Pat Benatar's Heart Breaker and its making me very happy and upbeat, but the happiness makes me kind of psychotic at the same time. like, the songs making me violently psychotic..

Easy listening does wonders for me... Morcheeba, Thievery Corporation, and the like.

Good power or speed metal gets me all wirey and ready to go run around for a while.

I'll listen to some good beats for walking music, and being a classical fan that means lots of tympani

Iron Maiden, Manowar and Metallica are always guaranteed to give me a rush of energy. I always give their music a nice ten minute blast first thing in the morning to start my day--better than coffee could ever be.

Excellent taste.

I had a rather odd occurance a few summers ago:
I had just downloaded "Black God" by My Dying Bride. It was a bright and sunny summer day. I began to play the song (a very slow, sad song, mind you) and about half way through, the weather had changed from clear and sunny to rain!

Did you go out and enjoy the rain?

"Walk in the Rain" from Cowboy Bebop is perfect music for writing action scenes in fic as well as providing me with inspiration for my Hong Kong Action Theatre RPG modules.

Well, I was feeling fairly down last night as I went to bed, so I stuck the radio to catch the midnight news before I put my head down, and managed to get a program about comedy songs, and they'd just started playing Monty Python's Galaxy song, which cheered me right up.

I'm listening to "Wizard In Black" by Electric Wizard, and it probably gives me some sort of feeling, but I don't know exactly how I should describe it.

I actually had to run out and grab my backpack which I was airing out out there. But, yes, I did. I don't understand why people call rain "bad weather." It's so pretty out when it rains!

I use music as a kind of tempo-setter, and as a mood enhancer. In the morning, I usually listen to Metallica (the fast beat clears my head, and then speeds me up a bit), or maybe Iron Maiden if I'm sick of Metallica that day. If it's rainy out, I usually listen to some slower music (assorted random Techno songs on my computer) because it gets DARK down here over the summer when the clouds come out, and at night I listen to something a bit more fast paced to keep me occupied...

Grah, double post. Could the mods fix that?

I used to really get emotional from music...Now it's ho-hum. I think all the "dead to the world" themes in assorted Marilyn Manson songs did this to me.

I like listening Vivaldi's Summer, 1812 Overture, or Ivanov's Georgian War March for an inspirational tune.

FINALLY! More people who actually listen to a DIFFERENT season from that suite! I've had it up to here with Spring!
