Is Blues Based music too dominant.
Nearly all music that is produced now in the West and is widely listened to it has some basis in the blues. I have liked a lot of it.
I recently played a friend who plays in a rock band a Shostakovich prelude and he put his hands to his ears, crying, "too many chord changes!" what to me was quite a diatonic little ditty was too much for him. Has he OD'ed on the mono-sodium glutamate of the twelve bar stuff?
