I play bass, so of course when I'm listening to music, I listen for the bass. Some of my favorite bands are bands that utilize a lot of bass. Paul McCartney utilized fantastic bass melodies with The Beatles. My favorite one from them is Hello Goodbye, and there is no logical reason behind that. It's not their best song. I just love the bass melody.

Then there's the king of bass, Steve Harris of Iron Maiden. There's nothing more powerful than the bass gallop he utilizes in song writing.

I don't like DnB, dub step, or any of that crap, because too much bass isn't a good thing. If it has no melody, and if you can't hear anything besides loud annoying bass, then it's not a song, it's just noise. That's why clubs are stupid. I mean, I guess since everybody in the club is on ecstasy, they aren't really paying attention to the music. They're just dancing shirtless with glow sticks getting fondled by dudes wearing diapers, but that kind of stuff is just noise to people who are sober, like me.

Also, I'm a musician, so I appreciate musicianship. That may be where some of my cynicism comes from.
