I didn't like first one, third one and fourth one very much, but I liked the second one a lot, prbly the melody and style.
I like how some artists won't stick to the charts standards when making songs. I wish those songs would get more attention. Often, they're much better than anything in the charts. When making music I often follow some of the electronic dance music standards but I try to do something different too. I also wish there were traditional radio stations that played VGM.
Sometimes, strange things happen with popular artists too, though. Example: I don't like Madonna style, but one of her song from 1995 went unnoticed, never got popular and played on radio much over here, compared to her other stuff, then suddently, 15 years later, some radio stations started playing that song! The song in question is:
For some reasons this happens to be the only Madonna song I enjoy enough to listen to it over and over, which is weird considering I normally dislike ballads. I guess it's because of the melody chosen. I can't stand her other commercial R&B stuff. There are 3 songs I may listen once every year at most.
Then there's Celine Dion
. I only really like a song enough to listen to it often
Notice it's not her usual style either
The song is from 1987 btw
Another unusual song I liked:
I wonder in what genre it might fall into, though. Also notice how some of it seems like the same genre as the Celine Dion song above.
OK now on the electronic genre, my favourite. I wish that eurobeat, '90s eurodance, happy/UK hardcore and italo disco were marketted more and became more popular over here in North America. I enjoy those genres more than any electronic music made over here and if you notice, most of my own made songs have roots from those genres.
And more recent songs I like
(one of my favourite new-generation UK hardcore song)
The result of the lack of marketting of this kind of music outside their original countries is that most of the music I listen to is european or asian.
