MUSIC

Yes. Music is what often brings us to a higher (or lower) emotional state. Music can inspire and motivate. This is the kind of music that we aspire to listen to. Specifically, music that is uplifting. What does that mean? Well, after listing to a song, did it make you feel as though God would approve? Did it make you happy? I generally tend to favor softer music that may or may not have uplifting lyrics (and by that I mean it may or may not have lyrics). Of course, I would be lair if I said that is ALL I listen to. I will admit, I love loud bass. And I do have a weakness for music that tends to be a bit more aggressive. While I actually do believe that it would be better if I avoided these things, I am uncertain if they could be considered a sin.

I WILL say however, that there is indeed some music that is very simply a no no. It is very difficult to divorce mmy own personal bias from the Church's stance, so I'll abstain from saying which kinds of music are a no no. But the scriptures teach us this:
  Moroni 7: 12-13, 17
12: Wherefore, all things which are ^agood cometh of God; and that which is ^bevil cometh of the devil...
13: ...that which is of God inviteth and enticeth to do ^agood continually; wherefore, every thing which inviteth and ^benticeth to do ^cgood, and to love God, and to serve him, is ^dinspired of God.
17: But whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do ^aevil, and believe not in Christ, and deny him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the devil
