   When I chose my song for my poetry anthology, I checked for depth in the lyrics to make sure they were "good" lyrics. The song I am doing for my poetry anthology is "Bat Country" by Avenged Sevenfold, its about having a good time, and a messed up trip to Vegas.  My top five favourite songs right now are; Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Second Heartbeat, Afterlife, and Critical Acclaim.  Some of these songs have a some meaning, but some of the others don't.  I like these songs because of the melody and heaviness.  What I look for in a song is if it has a good melody, good rhythm, and complexity to the song, which is hard to find in a song in recent years.  Personally, I love metal music, bands like Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold, Black Sabbath, and Bullet for my Valentine.  Metal music is not as popular as it was in the '80's, mostly because the music industry is dominated by electronic music and pop music, so the music I like doesn't get as much publicity as it should, even though they are good songs.  I find other genres of music good too.  I also think jazz is good too because how intricate the music is and how 14 or 15 musicians stay in harmony.  I like classical as well because it is very complex. Those are just a couple of genres I think are good, I enjoy almost every genre, and I think they're good in individual ways.
