I strongly dislike Enya and I don’t know why either. Her music makes me irrationally angry. She seems like a decent person so fuck knows why I feel so strongly about it.

Some people listen to Rage Against the Machine to power up, apparently some people listen Enya. Whatever works!

I have the same reaction to it. Best I can come up with is it’s like the uncanny valley of music; like AI created a voice and melody intended to make me feel something like melancholic inspiration. I hate it.

Funny, I think the thing I like about Enya the most is exactly that uncanniness. It's like a voice and a melody outside of this world.

We like what we like. Not trying to yuck anybody’s yum.

Her song in Lord of the Rings is excellent.

Nah Enya is garbage and those Pure Moods commercials did some permanent damage.
