Who's coming to Synthetic Culture tonight?

And a poll, because this has been on my mind lately. Which genres of music do you like? And I mean really like, makes hairs stand up on the back of your neck or tears come to your eyes or your foot to tap uncontrollably or makes you feel all's right with the world, that sort of like.

This isn't supposed to cover all genres. My purpose will be explained shortly. (I should have put in an 'Other - please state' thingy, so please state your others in the comments.)

My favorite songs span a wide spectrum, from the Kinks to Neutral Milk Hotel to Enya to opera. But the genre that probably affected me the most is glam rock especially Bowie and Roxy Music. I clicked on a catchy, hummable melody as being most important, but it actually isn't really necessary to me that the melody be catchy and hummable (although a lot my favorite songs do have this), just that the melody has to somehow affect me. Somehow the notes sound just right.
