I'm kind of curious how you guys might "type" a particular band's musical style.

I was listening to Animal Collective the other day, and some of my friend's were discussing their music while we listened. My friend said, "Music like this gives me so much hope for humanity. It's funny though, you listen to it and think they are super intellectual. But I watched an interview with them and they basically said they just did what felt right and sounded good." However, something about the band made me think: ISFP. The way of feeling the music, and sensing what fits right. Also, how it has a way of resonating on something unexplainable and deeper, without the analysis and full penetration. It's more of a pulse. And the music is alive and new, fresh, etc. While wielding that flower power-ness of the ISFP heart.

But anyways, I thought this could be an interesting place to discuss bands and what "type" their music comes off as.

I was just thinking this the other day. Or how certain songs can be typed.

My opinions:

Pink Floyd: INxP
Beatles: ENFJ
Aerosmith: ENFP
Doors: ENTP

This thread's about how bands are typed and the other's about specific bands' types. Or that's what I got anyway...

Yeah, Korn's lyrics are Fi-dom to the core. Just an unhealthy, negativistic brand of Fi.

Music is hard to type (going from a logical perspective, I'm mostly a logical thinker), so I chose lyrics instead.

yeah, i don't think i could try and type the music itself. it would all be reduced to stereotypes.
