Please Don't Stop the Music

I was searching the Internet today, trying to find ideas for new music to listen to. I googled top-selling albums, because I figured that would be a good measure of what "good" music is. To my horror, the Backstreet Boys were listed right next to the Eagles. What is this madness? My favorite, Elton John, was listed BELOW Mariah Carey. The Spice Girls were listed above my beloved Oasis. How can this be?

Then I realized something. I have no way to judge what constitutes "good" music. Now that I think about it, all of the Oasis songs do sound alike. But it's ok, because I like that sound, as I'm sure other people feel about Linkin Park and ABBA. Who am I to tell people what they should like listening to? When it comes down to it, music enjoyed because how it makes us feel. I have an entire playlist dedicated to songs I listen to when I'm feeling blue. And I will admit, Matchbox Twenty is on there. As is Taylor Swift. And I'm not embarrassed to say that, because they make me feel better. And who is anybody to tell me otherwise?

So on that note... find what you enjoy and pursue it. Anyone important won't think less of you for rocking out to Ke$ha every now and then. Music is meant to be enjoyed. Enjoy it.
