Music on the Sabbath?

[DevtheWind]

I've always been curious... what kind of music are we allowed to listen to on the sabbath? I often listen to dubstep and perhaps some other genres, but I never knew if they were appropriate for the Sabbath? Any thoughts on this?

[log2]

You're allowed to listen to any kind of music you like - now, the real question is, does the music you're listening to invite the Spirit into your heart, or offend it? As you cycle through your listening preferences, pay attention to how you feel in your heart, and seek that which helps you give place to the Spirit, and helps to remind you of our Savior - presuming, of course, that such things are important to you.

I'd just like to say that the Mormon Tabernacle Choir really works hard to provide enjoyable, uplifting music to the world. Playing a MoTab CD on Sunday can't miss.

I am quite partial to:
The Beatles
The Who
and BS&T

At least for Sunday listening.

Lyrics = Sunday Approved

We’ve planted a seed
An ever-growing wonder
To a beautiful tree
Grow

Each branch outstretched
And different from the rest
(From the rest)
Where the old have broken off
Some easier than the last
The right ones have grown in
To fill in the gaps
And all are equal in love and trust
And all are a part of something
So much bigger than this

Through the trials
Our tongues are tied
To trying times
So many unsaid lines
So many unsaid lines

Our lives were over in so many moments
So many moments, so many
And now they’re all just beginning
And now they’re all just beginning
Our lives were over in so many moments

I have never been so consumed
And I have never loved it more
To be devoted to letting all see
What it is to live in the love of others
To live in the love of my brothers
And spilling back on anyone has ever spilled for me
To show that to those who have never seen
Four years ago we planted a seed
Found that foundation that we need
Strived for the perfect balance
To show love and show compassion

And our vision for this world
Will not die when we are dead
(When we are dead)
And our vision for this world
Will not die when we are dead
(When we are dead)
When we are dead, oh

My future started with the first note
That I ever played
The first note that was ever sang
When we started living with purpose
And writing with meaning
This is what we were made for
Every day I live this future

I stick with Irish music, Classical, Piano (Yanns Tiersen) or non lyrical music like Explosions in the Sky
