Music is haraam as proven from ahadeeth and the opinions of the four imams. It does not matter what you "believe".

I know where you are coming from. But to use the word "haram" for something which Allah himself has not declared 'haram' is not a wise act , I think. Music is not recommended , or music is 'discouraged' in hadiths etc is what should be a better way to put it.

If Music was 'haram' or 'unlawful' , Allah would have explicitly stated in the Qur'an ....

No, because opinions have to based on Qur'an and Sunnah and the opinions of the majority in the four schools. Many minority opinions have no basis in the Qur'an and Sunnah - music being one of them. The prohibition of music is found in hadeeth, from the words of the sahaba

, from the words of the tabi'een, from the words of the aimmah of Islam in the golden era (the first three generations). Go read the other thread and try to find one person who is pro-music citing from anything from the aimmah arba'a, from the sahaba

, from Rasoolullah

that says that music is permissible, especially the extent that you're endorsing. As I understand it , music is just like internet... It can be used in a very negative way BUT it can also be a very strong force in the positive way. So is every type of Music haram? What about national songs? Like that of Noor Jahan , in favor of Pakistani Army fighting enemies of nation etc? What about the music urging people to STAND UP against the tyrants and raise their voice against zulm , which also the command of Qur'an? So what are your views regarding this aspect?

Also , the psychology of Muslim youth are getting run over by Western/Bollywood music... the BEST way to counter this is to develop our OWN music industries..that is closer to our culture and religion....so that our youth are not psychology brainwashed by Kuffr...what about this situation? What is the best way to counter that? There is nothing! Be practical brother..I'm not supporting retarded music of Western rappers...but to condemn music as a whole field is also not solution. It actually does more harm than good! We are faced with difficult situations today..and we must devise a practical strategy to counter the cultural wars of 21st century...
