It's a fact that all of us must have at least a song that brings back good memories, or a song that has the power to change our mood for good or for bad. Also, everyone has at least one favourite type of music, while there are others genres that can annoy some people. In this episode we'll talk about one of the greatest pleasures and most beautiful ways of expression: music!

In this episode, we'll show you some expressions and forms you can use so as to describe what your music preferences are (using verbs different from like). We'll share some nice idioms related to the topic, and we'll tell you some information about the most important music genres to help you identify them. Our Top 5 will be packed with cool songs about the power of music, and our Brainy Challenge will introduce you to some modern songs with bizarre lyrics. This episode will certainly be loads of fun!

As you listen to the show, you may think of your answers to these questions:

• What's your favourite genre of music? And have you got any favourite band or singer? And what type of music don't you like?
• Can you name three songs that have a special meaning to you and say why they are important to you?
• Do you think modern music is better than old music? Why?
• Do you think music has any influence in your mood and personality? Why so?
