How do you feel when you hear Terry Jacks singing "Seasons in the Sun"? (Shuffles feet)... that song is one of my guilty pleasures. Along with 'Honey' by Bobby Goldsboro. I'll get me coat. I think a lot of it depends on your state of mind when listening. Sometimes a bit of punk or garage rock is just what the doctor ordered. Sometimes it's a bloody racket. Right now I'm going through a finger-picking guitar phase (which is better than nose-picking guitar). Next week it might sound like dreary old wallpaper music and get my goat right up. The week after it might sound mindblowing again... One thing I know for sure is that inconsistency makes for an interesting musical life. If music makes you feel aggressive, maybe it's because at the time of listening that agression was lurking under the surface anyway, and the music was simply the trigger...
