I don't think I said that, as I've never been clear on what trip-hop is, and always lump it with hip-hop, which I'm sure is incorrect. Can you set me straight on that?

Heh. You're dismissing absolutely massive swaths of the music out there in these remarks. You don't see the parallels to what the OP is saying? How is "I'm just not able to get into rap" any different from "I'm just not able to get into long songs"?
I'm aware of the irony, however I don't think it's the same thing at all. I know, from my own musical preferences, that I don't like those genres. There may be something in there that would surprise me, but it's not like I haven't heard them. OP is dismissing ANY music based on PURELY the length of the song, which I think is something totally different. Many people are not into certain genres or sub-genres, and I can of course accept and respect that, but someone dismissing ALL music purely because it's too long is something else again. Hey, look, I'm not Jackhammer, never will be. Keep that Grindcore away from me!

Sure thing. Send me something and I'd be happy to do a little write up.
What would you like, or shall I surprise you?
