Poll: Do you enjoy instrumental music?

[arnoldthebird]

I do enjoy music without lyric's, Metallica's instrumentals are a good example. But I prefer my music with lyrics

I like music with lyrics more in general, but I don't think that's due to a need for lyrics on my part but instead a preference for a verse-chorus-verse structure that's far more common in songs with lyrics.

That said, there are many good instrumental groups out there. Aside from the standby genres of jazz and classical, I also enjoy Flying Lotus, Explosions in the Sky, and because I can't understand what they're saying, I'll include Battles and Sigur Ros as well.

I might add I think its a little silly to judge music soley on "if it has lyrics or not"

 

[likalaruku]

Yeah, classical, oldschool jazz, trance techno, & video game background music.

The internet makes it a habit of judging music based on irrelevant things. Whether it has lyrics, the topic of the lyrics, the difficulty of performing it, its popularity (or lack of popularity), other acts in the genre it belongs to, how long it is (no, I swear this is true) and so on and so on.

that is....very true

or you know..judging a genre ENTIRLY different to what somone usally likes as crap..that happens alot

Yes, but I mainly limit myself to soundtracks from movies or games I enjoyed. I prefer music with lyrics usually.
