I think music is useful for remembering stuff. Songs have often been used to transfer information.

it's fun. less likely to an hero with music in the world. ironic since so many musicians an hero.

Music seems tied to language. Both possess Rhythm and Tonality. Both have access to emotional markers in the brain. Music, however, doesn't reference metaphors and concepts sans lyrics.

I dont think we know enough to note the function in an evolutionary sense.

I think you can get caught up in a sense of rythm. I found myself walking in time to an MGMT song last night at work, reaaly rocking out without realizing it. I realized I was haveing fun for no other reason than I had a catchy beat, an it turned something mundane into something enjoyable.

a sense of community. something to do with getting laid.
