    to not have music would be like living in a black and white world. i have it on from when i wake up, all day at work and usually at home when i'm doing stuff. i can't live without art, and it's one of the most healing and rich forms of art there is :)

    Yeah i live it too. I listen to music all day, i spend my money on all sorts of music related things. I dont even want to think about it if music was taken away from me.

    Music is incredibly important to me. Throughout my whole life, I've been fortunate enough to have been exposed to all different kinds of music, and I have a deep appreciation for that. Life without music would be very difficult--probably impossible--for me.

    everybody else falls somewhere in between.

    where are you in this equation??


    My dad was a Rock n' Roll musician when i was born(early '70s)..so as far back as i can remember i was always surrounded by music of all styles and genres..I've been into everything at one time or another (except country music...yuck!..I may be the only person on earth who listens to Poor Righteous Teachers & Pearl Jam! :)) but nothing ever came close to '70s rock IMO..till the grunge movement that is!

    The reemergence of rock to music in the early '90s simultaneously coupled with the hi-jacking/pimping of Hip-Hop (which was cast into the land fill by scum bag record exec's promoting gangster excrement) saved me from spending most of my musical life in the '60s/'70s (i still visit quite often)

    I guess what i am saying is Thank you Pearl Jam/AIC/Soundgarden/Nirvana for providing me with the musical sustenance i need to help me march forward in this fucked up life on this fucked up planet!!

    LONG LIVE ROCK!!!
    Haha I couldn't agree much more.
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

    I always have music playing.
    Whether it be in my room, which I spend a lot of time in, in my car, or sometimes at work.
    So yeh, it is like air, I need it.

    Music is my way of escaping this world and the moment i am in... I need music, it makes me feel so much better. Its like religion.. some people need god and bible in their lives to be able to function -- I need music... I need Pearl Jam. :) Can't wait to see them live someday again ;) hopefully next summer - its like a religious gathering or something.. :D

    In a family of 5 kids growing up there was always one of us that instead of watching the idiot box would have their nose in a book with headphones on. My father was a talented muso but refused to let me learn music.
    WHy ( as ive learned just recently) He didnt want to lead me down a life of sin.
    what a croc of shit
    lt broke my heart that he didnt teach me. Ive always felt the music swelling inside me.

    To me music is like food, cant live without it. Some people hear music, I on the other hand FEEL it!! No matter what band or song, at that moment nothings better than getting those goosebumps.

    What kills me is the general public who buy and support SHIT like Creed, Britney, etc.... Who (creed) by the way are going on tour and there was a vote on aol. Excited about the tour,or makes you puke, or dont care and the excited vote is winning. Makes me soooo, soooo sad to think people out there think that Creed, Britney and the other schmoes are good music.

    It's my life.

    I listen to music, like most people watch tv(do crack, masturbate, eat.......it's an addiction, really). Aside from a few shows, the tv gets muted and the tunes get turned on.

    I am picky, but I listen to a pretty broad range of rock music. I would say most bands I listen to have something pretty unique about them.

    Aside from that, I play guitar in a band, write songs, jam with friends, collect records, keep a fully stocked ipod, attend several concerts every year etcetcetc

    All this and I am married with a child. The wife either loves the music or is the most accepting wife ever, and the baby girl loves to dance around.

    In 8th grade music class we had to write a "paper" on Life Without Music. Looking back, I should've just handed in a blank page, something null, devoid of anything.

    I need it. Seriously. Every since (God help me) I got hooked on Michael Jackson's Beat It (I was twelve), music has been an integrated part in my life. It helped me through some tough patches, where other art forms - like movies, books, visual art - did not. There is something basic and primordal about music, that hits me harder than anything else... Beat it still rocks btw ;-)

    Changed my life--and continues to do so. I can tag moments in my life with music and songs that shaped my view of the world--not my specific opinion, but my "tone."

    9 years old--Lola off of "One for the Road": I couldn't believe you could get all of those people singing together. Made me realize how music unites and I was jonesing for my first concert.

    11 years old--fully into Queen, The Who, Iron Maiden, Rush, Zeppelin, Beatles. A band for every mood found its way on my turntable.

    15 years--live shows. Every penny I had went into concerts. Didn't matter who it was.

    17 years--U2. Who knew rock had purpose? Big stories with small sounds--Joshua Tree inspired me to pay attention to politics (Mothers of the Disappeared).

    19 years--Grunge rock was raw. Bought my first guitar and lkearned how to play Smells Like Teen Spirit, Tangerine, and Misfit.

    Fast forward:
    Spanish Boots of Leather: Sunrise on Australia's gold coast
    Southern harmony music companion: realized how albums dig a groove
    Given To Fly: listened to it every training session for NYC marathon. Training burned a lot of hard times, GTL inspired me every day.
    First night I met my wife we stayed up until dawn listening to Ben Harper, Beck, and Jack Johnson.

    Music is close to the dreaming.

    It is very important to me. Up on the hierarchy of needs for me. :D
