I personally don't think that Music is forbidden, if its contents are pure and get you closer to Allah. Whats forbidden is evil music with bad message and propaganda. If the kind of music make you neglect your duties towards Allah and your self and family or society, then it is better to stay away from that. If the contents encourage you to commit haram (Forbidden/Not Allowed actions), or those lyrics glorifies haram actions then dont listen that.
The below verse is commonly quoted and misinterpreted to say that music is haram. There is no verse in the Qur'an that prohibits music.
And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks to mislead (men) from the Path of Allah without knowledge, and takes it by way of mockery. For such there will be a humiliating torment. [Qur'an 31:6]
This verse, specifically the words "Idle Talks" do not refer to music, it refers to ignorance and mockery from ignorant people who gossip and pride themselves without knowing anything.
Please state your opinions and respect everyone's interpretation.
