Would You Prefer Rock Or Soft Music Why

There are a lot of songs to choose from. We can hear them wherever we are. Without music life would be boring. Most people wan't to do their task while listening to their favorite songs. Personally I opt soft music most of the time because its very relaxing and soothing. It help me a lot when I'm down. It uplift my spirit. I don't like rock music that much because its irritating to the ears. How about you? What's your favorite type of music and why?

Hello mylottians thank you for posting your comments. I hear both of them. Actually it deoends on the mood which i am. Normally go for rock when in party , in friends home etc.. I hear soft music when i am with my girl friend and while going to bed . Thank you have a nice time keep mylotting. [sonustar]

ROCK!! haha. well I like rock songs but only those like Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. When I am really in the good mood to listen to music. It makes me bang my head and tap my hands while feeling the music. I also like acoustic songs. It clears my mind and make a peaceful atmosphere in my room. But I dont listen to it more often compared to rock songs. [ideamanx6]


hi mayrah! I like music too and i like to listen to all types of music depending on the situation i'm into. I prefer soft music over rock though. like you, i get irritated sometimes with the loud noise of rock. [shyced]
I think u are stereotyping rock there. I think you would find some fantastic rock song, and not much of rock is that irritating. When you say get irritaed by music, Im guessing the screaming, that is more Goth Rock/Goth Metal, which is a load of shite anyway.... [firstcontact1990]


i usually prefer listening to a slow jams music. [kayeshayne21]


What I listen to depends on my mood..Some days I want to listen to nothing but Jazz or R&B, other days I like old punk or goth music and other days still I enjoy listening to soft rock or ballads or maybe top 40 type tunes and so on....I love a wide variety of genres when it comes to music so there is no "one" prefered for me.. [Ravenladyj]

I like a ton of different musics, Dave Matthews is my fave & I think they consider him to be alternative...I do not! I like Rob Thomas, Santana...the list is endless. I do not like Hip Hop or Jazz though! [mibngold]

I like both music, actually I'll listen to both of them depends on my mood. If I feel gloomy and kinda bored, I'll listen to more upbeat and a bit loud rock, and if I'm feeling like I want to hear some soft music especially if I'm reading or doing some tedious stuff, I'll listen to soft music. However, I think I prefer more to listen to soft music, as it is more pleasant and gentle in the ear. happy [kylie_quistis]

Firstly I diasagree that Rock music is irritating to the ears. I depends on what genre you are talking about, if you are used to listening to some good music as well as how loud you listen. There are many types of Rock, Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Shock Rock, Garage Rock, Glam Rock, Pop Rock, and so on, things that came from that were Punk, Heavy Metal, Sleze Metal, Glam Metal, Black Metal and Death metal and so on, and I kow that some rock legends inspired things like early R N'B and so on, But I am a huge Rock fan, and dont really like genres such as Hip-Hop, Pop, Rap and so on, some of it really bugs the hell out of mew, Im more of a fan of Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, and some Power Metal, some of the biggest selling acts in world/history and from the Rock Genre, etc....examples are AC/DC - 200million albums, Kiss 100 million albums, Aerosmith 150+ million albums Some of my favourite bands/artists are Scorpions AC/DC Alice Cooper Whitesnake Motorhead Jimi Hendrix and so on You cant say all rock irritates your ears, think....Volume is the main thing, and genres like Black Metal, and Death Metal doesnt do rock music in general any justic and some of the crap where they scream and dont sing, is just rubbish, but I dont think Rock and Metal in general is rubbish, as you can probavbly tell, Im a fan, but Im open (sometimes) to opinions, and I do understand what you mean. [firstcontact1990]
I agree, and althouygh Elvis was a big thing in Rock n' Roll, he isnt one of my favourites, but I get what you are saying... [firstcontact1990]


I suppose it depends on the mood you're in.I come from a musical family and I know and appreciate all sorts of music.I was a child when Rock 'n Roll arrived on the music scene,hence I was hooked on that kind of music.Even though this was the case I knew and loved other music pre-Rock 'n Roll. Later I was influenced by a different type of sound.As far as music is concerned I am eclectic and there is little in the way of music that I could say I dont like. [JUNGLE]

I like both ,it depend on the mood. It is a important part of our life and it is very for a healthy life.I like to listen bollywood movie songs [thegreatabhi]

Well Music is something that has to has soul and body and most does. As to what types it really depends where I am, what I am doing and the mood I am in. As woman near 60 I like a great variety of music and yes even some of the hard rock like Guns N Roses and Metallica at times, I love the scorpians and the eagles. But when I think of rock, I think of Rock and Roll mostly from the 1950's and 1960's and early 1970's. Elvis, Big Bopper, Temptations, Supremes, Dave Clark 5, the Beatles, Chuck Berry and many more. I sometimes like to get out and get down and boogie with friends and family also good for aerobics. But other times I need down time and quiet and like Yanni, Kitaro, Enya, Diblasio. I also like Folk and some hip hop rap and blues, classical and more. Like I said depends what the circumstances are and even who I am with or if I am alone. I don't think Rock n Roll of the 50's and 60's is irratating to the ears at all and I also like some Country and some Country Western and Hoedown. I love to dance and like both slow sexy waltzes and close dancing but also love to boogie. [Celanith]
I am not personally into all of them, but when you say Metallica, their awesome, the original line-up of Guns N' Roses were great with Slash, Duff and Izzy Stradlin and that, and I love Scorpions as well, their are awesome, better than GN'R and Metallica put together. [firstcontact1990]


I listen pretty much everything, but my favourite is rock. It always was. But it does depend on a mood, sometimes I prefere something soft on the ears and sometimes something energizing to get my blood running lol [mojcica]
Ah nice to hear, the only thing with rock it can also be hard to define sometimes, Hard Rock, Soft Rock, Glam Rock, and then goes into metal which branches out even more. As a fan of Rock, name some artists and bands you like. [firstcontact1990]


I like soft music. But I also like all kinds. It all just depends on my mood at the moment. :) But I definitely prefer soft music most of the time! :) [EAStanley]

It really depends on the mood. Rock or something upbeat when I am trying to get chores done. Soft for when I want to relax. Or cuddle with hubby. Music is universal. I enjoy all types. Brings out the best in all feelings, I think. [ersmommy1]

It really depend on my mood but I usually listen to rock music. Yeah for some people they find rock music irritating to the ears. My sister don't like rock music so I have to used earphones when listening to it. It helps me to relax and live my everyday life. I just love rock music and don't have any reason why not to love it. [katkat]

I listen to any kind of music depending on my mood. :) [icedcoffeemallows]

Thanks for posting this. Actually I thought To post this one. I link soft music because it is always keeps as calm and it will be a treat to our earn if the song is goo. moreover the word are clearly pronounced in the soft music rather than the rock. But all it depends upon the situation. Mostly soft music is the preferred one compared to rock [palani1210]
In a way it isnt realistic to sya soft. It is much harder to define soft. Pop Cant always be soft, Rn'B cant always be soft, Hip-Hop or Rap isnt always soft, but I guess that is what you are all saying. There is always Soft Rock if you want to try that, it is also soft, and not real hard. [firstcontact1990]


Personally I love rock. I love the way it makes me feel, the way it sounds and the emotion it can convey. At the same time, I also appreciate soft music, as long as it's creative and I can take something from it. I agree that any task is makde easier if you're listening to some good music. [coffeeshot]

I like soft music more than rock music as it relaxes me. It doesn't mean that I hate rock music because I like that as well. [nilugo]

It depends on my mood. I listen to rock when I am angry, happy, or just in the hardcore mood. As for soft music, I listen to that when I am sad, depressed, or in a light mood. Again, music is all about my mood. [rogue13xmen13]

Hi frnds, I will prefer a soft music,Some times i will prefer a rock music.I like soft musics so much for listening the soft music it will be a very cool music,melody and the good lyrics.My favorite music were soft or slow music i like.Some times i will listen to the rock music.The soft music will feels a cool,relax and the comfortable to be listen. [23uday]

There have been times in the past when I have listened to Rock music but that was just when I was feeling rebelious! I normally prefer the quiet kind of music now, easy listening and so forth! I love some of those meditation cds as well where the music is really soothing and nice to the ear! I generally listen to this during the evening hours, it prepares me for sleep! I use to listen to heavy metal as well but that would really be a blast on the ears! Andrew [AndrewFreyne]

Hi mayrah, when reading, surfing net or before going to bed I enjoy listening to those light music with soft and sentimental melody which could make me feel relaxed and comfortable. We usually play rock music when having fun during our friend gathering. I like the rocking music as it would boost up the merry atmosphere. We enjoy eating, chatting, singing and dancing during with the busy music as the background in this wonderful and happy moment. happy posting and have a great day. [lkbooi]

For me I prefer soft music - any soft soothing music. When I'm hard at work, I find having soft soothing music in the background helps me to relax. It helps sooths my mind and body as well - helps to make me more comfortable, at ease to do my work. Without music, I find my mind tense to wander and get distract with every little noise that I can hear. [lavender88]

i like both.. it depends on my mood.. keep posting. take care and have fun..happy [anitajayakumar]

I like both Soft music and Rocking music.But I like sad songs also. [PRIYANK1992]

I Love them both. it's not always that i focus on listening to one type of music on the whole day. sometimes, i would listen to rock and soft music. but i literally listen to rock when ever i am depressed, upset and mad. it increases the adrenalin. but if i prefer to relax then i think about soft music. [Greeneagle24]

It depends.When I am depressed,I would choose rock music.It would make me excited and feel safe.When I am calm or quite happy,I prefer soft music,for it I would be more relaxed... [061234217]

I prefer both of them, depending on my mood and what genre suits my current emotion. Every music has its own purpose. They are both good. Nothing is superior than the other. They are at par. [green_peace]

I prefer to listen to music from the 50´s and 60´s. But no rock music for me. [ennasus59]

I love soft music too but not all the time. There will be times when I love listening R&B. I also love lovesongs because it is inspiring. Is your mood also matters? [sickache]

My favorite type of music is rock music.But a few types of rock music which is pleasant to listen to the ears.I don't love hard rock music.I love listening to soft music sometimes.Its very soothing and relaxing.happyhappy [vicky30]

I like soft music. I even can play classical. But I Love to listen to rock music.when I am upset, I prefer hard rock to anything else. There are times when I prefer to listen to soft rock but most of the time it is rock and roll. [sarahruthbeth22]
