Just something I was always curious about? I mean I don't expect my dog to bob and weave to Eggman Land Crimson Carnival-Night but just wondering if maybe they're mood may take a subtle change or something. Idk, thoughts?

I don't know, however I do know that plants grow better under classical music more than other genres...

Someone got a blue ribbon in the 7th grade science fair.
To OP: I can only assume they do, though if it is visible or noticeable, I have no idea.
I have only had cats in my entire life, and cats don't really respond to anything, lol. Although I can admit at times when I have blasted death metal in my house and my cat was near me, I'd see it looking around like it saw a ghost with its eyes all open and stuff and sprinting away.
Depends on the animal, the type of animal and what type of music is playing. My dogs like my Usher ringtone. My aunt's cat used to like gospel music when he was living.
HEY BOO!!!
A couple of years ago when I was still a crazy cat lady (a dark time...), one of my younger kitties would act noticeably more playful whenever she heard music from the game Halo 3, especially the main theme. I suppose with that in mind, it is certainly possible that they respond to music.
I mean, it's either that, or she just wanted to annoy me while I played. Could be both.
Our love of music had to develop from somewhere. We're just one of the first species to make our own music; nature has been playing Thunder, Rain, and Ocean since forever.
I wonder if other animals besides birds can make music "consciously", and also do so for pure self-enjoyment?

I heard that a pair of lab rats died after being exposed to dubstep for too long.
Recent studies indicate that music can serve as a contextual conditioned stimulus in
rats and influence drug-seeking behavior during abstinence. The purpose of the present study was to
further assess the effectiveness of music as a conditioned stimulus in rats, to determine ratsâEUTM preferences
for two contrasting pieces of music, and to determine ratsâEUTM preferences for music versus silence. To this
end, we created an apparatus that gave instrumental control of musical choice (Miles Davis vs.
Beethoven) to the rats themselves. After determining baseline musical preference, animals were conditioned with cocaine (10 mg/kg) to the music they initially preferred least, with alternating conditioning
sessions pairing saline with the music preferred most. The animals were subsequently tested in a
drug-free state to determine what effect this conditioning had on musical preference. The results indicate
that music serves as an effective contextual conditioned stimulus, significantly increasing both musical
preference and locomotor activity after repeated cocaine conditioning. Furthermore, we found that rats
initially favor silence over music, but that this preference can be altered as a result of cocaine-paired
conditioning. These findings demonstrate that, after repeated association with reward (cocaine), music
can engender a conditioned context preference in rats; these findings are consistent with other evidence
showing that musical contextual cues can reinstate drug-seeking behavior in rats.
cocaine makes rats like music

My cat doesn't give a shit if i'm playing music.
You look nice today.
This guy brutally sodomizes me.

Spiders are shown to respond to music (5:50)
They seem to prefer classical music.

My cat seems to like anything with a saxaphone, she seems pretty happy when I'm playing a Coltrane CD. She also enjoys Chopin, Dead Kennedys, and Napalm Death.

my dog, about half a foot tall, white and about 10 lbs..
mostly blind, cant really hear, cant find his food dish, and wanders aimlessly around the house walking into things and sniffing the same wall again and again or a leg or a whatever
only knows how to shiver and cower and piss itself..
cant sit still, cant figure out what a human is or a door, cant figure out what a cat is, cant figure out much of anything
but play a musical instrument and he sits on his ass and focuses more or less on the direction of the music, and will sometimes howl along to the tune of the beat, a higher howl for a upbeat song a lower and longer howl for a sad or deeper song
omg arrest this man he trying to hypnotize animals!
Depends, when I remember when I played some "Queen - A kind of Magic" on my pc at a good volume, my 2 hamsters came out and looked, heh.
Signatures are for losers...and I am a loser.
Plus, I need to stop typing fast as hell.
I swear my cat becomes way more calm when classical music is playing...its really weird.

11/10 post phantox does it again
72 mice were split into 3 groups.
They all were to complete a maze 3 times over the course of a single week. While not attempting to solve the maze, they were forced to listen to nothing but music for 10 hours a day (or nothing).
One group listened to nothing but heavy metal for 10 hours a day.
The other listened to nothing but Mozart and other classical music for 10 hours a day.
The last had no music being played to them.
The mice that had no music managed to cut back their maze completion time by 5 minutes by the third trial.
The mice that listened to classical music managed to cut back their maze completion time by 8 and a half minutes by the third trial.
The mice that listened to Heavy Metal, however, ADDED 20 minutes to their maze completion time, and could not complete the full experiment because they all ended up killing each other.
Interesting, no?

Quite, and somewhat expected because of this article.
