goose Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 QUOTE (ES-335 @ Feb 24 2007, 10:22 PM) I didn't vote as I try not to let the genre automatically affect my opinion on a piece of music. I agree. There's really no one genre I don't like, but plenty of artists whose work I don't enjoy. Earlier I posted that I didn't care for country & western, yet if you asked me about the Dixie Chicks or Rosanne Cash, I'd give a different answer. For me it's about quality musicianship & lyrical integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReRushed Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 When it comes to rap I always go back to It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back - it's one of the most brilliantly produced albums of all time. There's nothing simple about it, nothing sounded like it before it was released and everything sounded like it after it was released. Rap may not be everyone's cup of tea but anyone serious about music has to at least acknowledge some of the innovations and expressions it introduced as a genre. Rap is here to stay. Get use to it.

prog.fusion Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 country. it doesn't surprise me that rap is the most hated on a rock band board. but at least rap has groove to it, country is probably the most stale of all music genres there is and hardly ever shows any emotion what-so-ever. at least rap has a decent beat.

Mandalorian Hunter Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 (In response to Ticks posts) Oh no, now the masses of TRF have spoken, we better stop sticking up for this rap genre, because, i mean liking a something, or a band, who are hated by all but one certain section of music fans is completely wrong Fridge, If you haven't been to one in ages, you won't know how fun they are!

Wow, I really dug ska back in the early 80's. I still enjoy it for it's sense of humor, combined with some pretty sharp political commentary thrown in to boot. The Beat's first disc was a fav. There's some decent ska revival 2 stuff out there. Save Ferris, Reel Big Fish, et al. Makes me want to dig up my old porkpie & skinny tie... Skankin'!
