Music makes the people come together

I love music. To get me to sleep as a baby my dad had to drive round with the radio on, and that probably still works now. One of my favourite things to do is to apply certain songs to certain situations or people in my life. And I like making lyric-y blog titles, just for the fun of it.
But really, the title is true, cos music does make people come together. To be annoyingly clique-y the 'indie' kids listen to indie music, the 'emo' kids listen to emo music and the 'popular' kids listen to pop music. But I don't like labels. Really, music is a fun interest but it shouldn't define who you are. Like if you would describe yourself as indie, you are allowed to try pop music too you know?
I would class myself as 'different' cos I don't really fit into any group, I'm pieces from several ones mashed together instead. I suppose thats why I like living in the UK, the clique thing isn't so obvious here. So I can listen to anything, but I dont neccessarily like everything, as that would make my interest too general. I prefer rock bands usually. However, my guilty pleasure is musicals. The only thing I can't stand is electronically altered voices, or songs that only have 7 or so lyrics, repeated over and over. I'm not really a rhythm and blues person, or a rap person either; though I do like 'Like Toy Soldiers' by Eminem. Mostly if the song has meaningful lyrics, I'll like it.
For that reason I like The Fray most of all, currently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5Kcyd-MGnU
