Interesting question, rational Jew… I don’t have an answer for you, but I have a feeling that it depends on the person and how musically attuned he/she is.
The one thing I have read, though, is that soldiers in the past would listen to loud, raucous music before going to war, to work themselves into a rage and put them in a mindset to kill.
I also read in the biography of R’ Shlomo Freifeld ??”? about a ????? of his who was mourning the death of a certain non-Jewish singer. R’ Shlomo asked the ????? to bring over a record from the singer. He listened to a few songs, and then he said, “Now I understand why this singer is so popular. You should know that it’s disturbed music, the symbol of a generation in turmoil.”
Music has a great and subtle power.
