Aaaanyway. It's unfortunate that I'm quite out of touch with my musical sensibilities right when there is an appropriate thread to launch my tirade on. Ah well, hope it will still be here when I need to complain about having to expose myself to more stuff from the gangsta crowd. They sound all the same to me. And all the popular pop from Disney & Co., which always sound like they try to emulate Avril Lavigne, over and over again -- even though, blasphemous as it is to some around here, I actually really liked her first album.
As long as I'm not exposed to long periods of it, I actually find country to be sort of okay. Not my type, but I won't recoil from it and mentally spitting like I would've done if it was from, say, some modern big name rapper with no real panache.
I was a self-admitted rap hater but, alas, it appears the flame has burned out. Thanks to that I remembered how a few of the rap songs did hit me quite well; I still have fond memories of when Where is the Love was still popular.![]()
So right now, because of the omnipresent...presence...of the name Pink Floyd around the Frontroom, I'm starting to check them out. Very curious indeed; even my untrained ears can hear where the great influences of modern music come from. I ought to find some time to properly listen to them.
Edit: Oh, and Bijo has a point: in every genre there's always the great stuff and the imitators. Though I do possess a special respect for Classical and Jazz, even if the latter has its fair share of godawful crap.
