Obviously, you have no clue how hard it is to do. I've tried it...and it's hard. and i'm a drummer! Need to be skilled to be a DJ...need to be super creative as well. You missed my point completely. I know full well that it is very hard to do as my stepson was quite proficient at it, but that doesn't change the fact that it is utterly pointless and about as entertaining as herpes

QUOTE (rushgoober @ Feb 24 2007, 12:01 AM) I'm sure if I really searched I would maybe like 1% of 1% of country or 1% of 1% of rap. By like, I mean music that I think is good, but that I wouldn't want to actually buy. Just because I might be able to tolerate 1 out of every 1,000 acts and maybe, for argument's sake, I might actually like enough to own 1 out of every 10,000 acts, doesn't mean I'm gonna say I like the genre or have repsect for it. Yeah, it might be a gross generalization to say I hate country or I hate rap, but it's true. Just because I might like 1/100th of 1% of it doesn't change that. Sure, I could spend time going to websites to try and find that 1 act I might like or I can go to clubs to try to find that 1 act that I might like, but why would I want to? There are genres where I know I like a high percentage of what I hear. Isn't that a better use of my time? I have to agree with most of this. I respect what Puppetking and D-13 are trying to say, but remember, most people who are a bit older (I'm not trying to be patronising here) have a lot more "hands on their time" and life commitments prevent us from spending all our spare time listening to and discovering new music. As a result we have to use what time we do have a bit more wisely, and I'm afraid it's simply playing the percentages. We can stick to a genre where it's pretty certain we will like a fair amount of stuff or take a chance on something new. When your time is more squeezed and as a result more precious, it becomes a relatively easy choice to make. Furthermore, remember that it's only music. When I was much younger, it seemed like the be-all and end-all of everything, but the fact remains that there aere other things which are more important as you eill discover in time. I still love music (I still play in a covers band when I can), but it has to be slotted into a list of priorities which life presents. I suppose what I'm trying to say is that the onus is on these supposedly "good" examples of a particular genre to make themselves more obvious. If they are content to remain in relative ocscurity and aren't interested in my opinion, then why should I take the time and trouble to seek them out?

Hmmm.. Country or Rap? Jesus, it's like choosing between Leprosy and Cancer!

I don't see how anyone could really vote for anything other than The Beatles. I really like them, but there is other music I personally prefer. However, for sheer originality, impact, and influence there is no one else that can touch them.

I was going to suggest "El Presidente" as an alternative for Goober, but his campaign seems to have vanished withoutna trace.....

QUOTE (treeduck @ Jan 8 2007, 07:43 PM) I never liked the band and I can't stand his voice... So I take it you don't like Peter Gabriel as well, because to me they sound pretty similar....

Script was the best for me, though the ep which preceded it was great (the one with "Grendel" on it) I kind of lost interest after Fish left, so don't really know too much about the Hogarth era.
