Yeah, absolutely. Cos those two would definitely have made this thread and listened to every album on Wiki's list for this year, regardless of genre, wouldn't they? Try harder. Actually, on second thoughts, don't bother. Moving on....

Kendrick Scott Oracle - We Are the Drum
(From the album of the same name).
Now that's MUCH more like it! This is jazz I can get into. Enjoyed that a lot. Thanks MicShaz!

Genres, Mondo: ****ing genres not artists. I don't want to get into one specific artist, much less one I already don't like.

A ****ing Matt Groening quote for your bad music appreciation skills

"I thought it was the worst thing I'd ever heard. I said to myself, they're not even trying! It was just a sloppy cacophony. Then I listened to it a couple more times, because I couldn't believe Frank Zappa could do this to me – and because a double album cost a lot of money. About the third time, I realised they were doing it on purpose; they meant it to sound exactly this way. About the sixth or seventh time, it clicked in, and I thought it was the greatest album I'd ever heard".

He's just trying to trick you, right? Or maybe TMR is an album that isn't as easy to embrace as other art but is actually better for it. This album DEFINES the grower record. Don't just dismiss that.
Why in the name of the good lord **** should I care what Groening has to say? Sure, he likes it. I do not. I know my own tastes: I seldom, if ever, hear an album I hate and end up liking it. Almost never. It's not going to happen, no matter how many times you beat me over the head with this album, so just drop it. Not. Interested. End of.

Yeah maybe, you never know. I won't give up on them. Just don't be a Frownland about them. That really pisses me off.

If you say "The gateway to [insert band]" once more I'm going to ignore your posts. I am NOT looking to get into any artist (the above I know in any case, they're not new to me and I hated Johnny ****ing Burnette's song) but genres. So if you want to say "the gateway to [insert genre here]" fine, but stop using artists as frigging gateways. It's really annoying, all right? Genres, people. I don't know why this is so hard to grasp: it's in the ****ing title of the thread, after all...
