It's not the best song ever but it's something I can always listen to and it's probably my favourite if I had to choose.

Nice to see so much variety in this thread. Personally, I doubt that I could come up with just one. A few that come to mind are Closer to the Heart, A Day in the Life, School (Supertramp), Peace of Mind (Boston), Starseed (OLP) and Lightning Crashes by Live.

One other rather obscure title that I've always loved is Sausalito Summernight by Dutch rockers Diesel:

Great choice Always get the nostalgic feeling when it comes on.

Another classic, IMO, and another one of my faves:

[Not A Fruit]

first, let's use the word "characteristics," not "qualities" -- for obvious reasons

second, i can't answer your question beyond speaking in cliche (angry young people like angry sounding vocals, 'depressed' low key yet aggressive tones). if you are looking for some objective reasons for why depressed, angry young people like metal, google it

Been thinking about this for a few days now. I'd have to say mine is "Hook" by Blues Traveller. I can listen to that song over and over on repeat and not get tired of it. Great tune, vocals and an awesome harmonica solo.

Why type this? Why not just begin?

[GLASSJAW]

They just said that they're statistically more likely to exhibit symptoms of them than non-listeners. In other words, it's a gross generalization

[GLASSJAW]

Dat sexy scruffy look

[VICanucksfan5551]

lmao

didn't i already say that

[kanucks25]

Okay... back to things that actually matter

Probably my favorite MJ song. Great for a summer night drive with the winders down

[The Brahma Bull]

Two Princes- Spin Doctors (One of the first songs that I remember when I was just a little jabroni)

Summer of 69- BA

Save Tonight - Eagle Eye Cherry

WIth or Without You, Pride - U2

[Down by the River]

Down by the River by Neil Young.

bold 1: i don't care. how you receive music personally may remove you from being an "angry person ITT" but it probably means you're an exception to the rule, or just being dishonest and/or argumentative for its own sake, perhaps out of boredom or an argumentative nature. i don't mean to speculate, but i'm not interested enough to alleviate either one, but that leads to bold #2

bold 2: my WORK? i have no responsibility to you or this conversation, really. i told you where to find the information you're pretending to want, but you, either through being stubborn or being afraid of what you'll find, chose to type that instead. which makes me wonder, are you even interested in the subject? to be totally honest, i couldn't care less about your opinions on LITERALLY anything, least of all music, but if you are sincerely interested in "professional" (objective) consensus in regards to how an individual's personality is reflected in their taste of art, then there is LOADS of documentation out there for you. Googling "heavy metal depression" is a superficial but good start. if you do that, you will get loads of hits about the peer reviewed and 2013 published study, as summarized here:

http://www.psmag.com...tal-fans-55337/

the summary leads back to this:

http://psycnet.apa.o...als/ppm/2/2/74/

but you will need to pay for it or have access to it through your University's library for the gnarly details

if you aren't that interested in that, here is a peer reviewed dissertation about the emotional stability of certain listeners in respect to their favourite/preferred/listened to genre, with loads about metal

http://aut.researchg....pdf?sequence=4

if you want the sparknotes version, consult http://en.wikipedia....usic_preference and its wad of footnotes which attempt to justify connections between personality types and musical preference

almost all of which will lead you to the same broad stroke: metal heads are miserable young dudes

I'm a female college student who listens to metal. You won't meet a more miserable fck than me
