Weird Question.

The thing is, I really shouldn't have asked you guys. That was problem. I should have went and asked some dude with a PhD is Psychology.

Wtf would they be able to tell you about music taste?

What happens in someones brain when they hear a song they dig?

All sorts of reactions get stimulated, but again it's entirely down to the individual. Our brains all work in different ways, otherwise we would all like the same stuff.

And why do many people like one song vs another?

We've already answered this, repeatedly.

Because we're all individuals, like snowflakes.  Or something.

Stop messing with me dammit.

if a song want to be popular in the general public, at least it must follow the common scale pattern or the chord progression, it can be diverted a little out of the ordinary pattern, but i has to be drew back to normal. of course DT's music is not follow this pattern, and we still love them. and i think one particular merit of DT songs is: labrie's vocal part is always traditional, no exaggeration in tones(except his high pitch voice), no distortion in voice, compared with other extreme singers, labrie's voice is gentle and aesthetic.

Then why do I love LTE?

i've no idea, i think appreciating playing technique is another story.
