does anyone like music with no lyrics in the song

[Fruktis]

hehe i listening to trance (without vocals), and i think its the best genre just because it's non anoying vocals thats my opinion

I'm guessing you guys are talking more about trance, electronica, and the like, not classical or jazz, right?

Having taken classical piano, I enjoy classical music, kind of grows on you and it's perfect for studying since it has no lyrics and is calming. I have come to like jazz a lot in the past 5 or so years, and I prefer the songs without the lyrics because the musicians then have more freedom with the music to improvise.

But then again, it's not everyone's thing

Yeah, Explosions In The Sky, GY!BE and a lot of Post Rock bands are incredible without vocals; imo vocals would spoil them.

Not to mention the past 1000 years of Western musical canon.

I dont really like songs with no lyrics its always at the back of my mind wondering when the song will start.

It certainly depends. Usually some metal or jazz songs are only instrumental but they kicka$$. While some are plain boring. There are also some songs totally with guitar for example songs of Michael Angelo, Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, etc., they can rock if the music is good.

i just cant listen to songs with no lyrics in them. i realize some songs would be so much better without a perticular singer.

what im saying is there are some songs that have great beats, but no lyrics. well all i can think is what a waste of some good beats.

The beat needs no words,son.
