Even actual scientists have studied this subject with brain scans and so on. The truth is, listening to music does cause activity in other parts of the brain that simply the ones that deal with hearing. Certain frequencies seem to evoke certain feelings in people. It's purely physiological, like practically everything that happens in our heads. I don't know a lot about this subject, so I'm not going to say much more. This much, however, I know, because I studied this subject for my presentation about the background music of games.
I am, however, pretty sure that music doesn't cause any kind of addiction, except maybe in a case where you yourself make yourself obsessed about it. In a way, I think that it's worse to tell people that some music is made by Devil and nobody should listen to that, because it evokes powerful images in people. Maybe it'll even raise the likelihood of people listening obsessively to that kind of music. I'm not a psychologist either, so this is just speculation xD I have studied some psychology, yes, but not nearly enough to fully comprehend all these things.
Anyway, the way I feel, no music is evil or bad. All possible genres of music have fans, and music in general is one of the most awesome art forms, because it doesn't matter where you live and what language you speak, you can still enjoy it. I also like the effects music has on my mood, because I can take advantege of that ^<^
Music is <3
