    Ha, eyup, that's pretty much how I feel. I actually threw it on just last week and loved every minute of it.

    I'm glad you and Shin understand! It's good to know there are fellow fans of Tchaikovsky around these parts.

    I don't have an MP3 player. So, I'm just going to use a random number generator to decide what channel, and what song. Here we go! I got... this! Very good represation of what I listen too, just needs a bit more of a... Celtic and/or action music touch to really represent me.

    Figured it's about time for me to be so late to the party that I missed the people that were late 

    Round 1: Stars by Fun - I enjoy about 75% of the song, it gets a little grating towards the end but I love the rest so it's a win for me

    Round 2: I'm so Sorry by Imagine Dragons - Another win, the ending to this is just awesome.

    Round 3: Easy Money by Bruce Springsteen - I love the Wrecking Ball album, I just don't care either way about the song. I'd say it's in my top 10 on the album but it's kind of hit or miss depending on the day. Still a win in my eyes because I enjoy it

    Round 4: The Troubles by U2 - I hadn't listened to it before, but it sounds pretty sweet so a meh but not a loss.

    Round 5: I Bet my Life by Imagine Dragons - Another song that I love, so another win

    Round 6: Death to my Hometown by Bruce Springsteen - And to finish it off one of my top 3 from the album, so another win

    Forgot to answer the bloody question...

    I guess these songs represent my taste in genres if nothing else. Imagine Dragons is Alternate Rock/Rock, Springsteen is Rock/Folk (I guess? Well Wrecking Ball is I guess) and Fun has the Rock/Pop kind of vibe I guess. U2 is a hit and miss thing for me, I love some of there songs, dislike others, I'm not a big fan of the free album but it's free so I can't hate it much.

    Other acceptable artists would be Queen, Kiss, Billy Joel, Coldplay, Lindsey Stirling, Miricle of Sound, Pentatonix and... There's probably some others I'm forgetting right now.

    It's funny that you should mention Springsteen. Sunday dinner at my folks w/ brothers, sisters, and their families, my mom starts handing out dulcimers, ukuleles, guitars, spoons, an auto-harp, and cigar box banjos, a bass and who knows what else and says, "Here, watch this youtube video... we're playing this song." It was a Bruce Springsteen cover of "Oh, Mary Don't You Weep" by Bruce Springsteen.

    We were terrible xD

    I don't even want to image my family singing, Springsteen or anything else  We just aren't that musically talented.

    Q: How do you make a soul singer?

    A: Cook a duck in the oven until its bill withers. 

    Thank you, thank you: I'm here all week.

    Yes! Spread the word! If you haven't already, this guy and this guy are both worth listening too as well. Or, if you want something with lyrics, this guy makes some good songs, some about video games too.

    I quickly threw it together... as is evidenced by the double 'and' in parentheses on the bottom (SO stupid! xD)
