Yeah, I agree with you Exodiser. Restless Heart's, were more Pop, to me also. The band I wanted to mention before, and couldnt think of, at the time, was 'Alabama'. (Oh well, better late than never). Peace man!

I would not agree with this at all.

^ And your right not to.

While it is partly true that the kind of music you listen to can be influenced by your parents and friends at an early age, long term musical taste is entirely in your own hands.
No-one in their right mind is going to continue listening to music that doesn't agree with their soul. Unless of course you have no taste. Or no soul for that matter.

And here lies my problem with the opening post.
Every genre (with the exception of New Romantic :bringit:) has at it's helm a group of accomplished and world class musicians, that deserves the attention of anyone who claims to be a lover of music.

I don't care how technical the music is, or "because simply there isn't enough music involved".
As a matter of fact, more often than not, the more technical the music, the more it's likely to bore the shit out of me.

What matters most, is how it makes me feel.
And that's what music is all about.

Never a truer word said on these forums. ^

The in depth technical side of music has as much to do with it, as physics has to a 30 yard David Beckham free kick that hits the top corner of the net!

Sometimes simplicity in music is a joy to behold. Simple hypnotic music makes you feel at ease.

That's true but I think that part of the original poster's music taste is that he likes to hear the technical aspects in music. I have my moments when I'm like that. When I first hear a song that's mostly what I listen for....I don't pay attention to lyrics til later on.

I never said any of that wasn't music. The definition of music is essientially orgainized sound in time. All of that is music. I mean by musicality more complex and rather more music than one melody sung or played over and over again. As for everyone else talking about how technical music is boring, is Bach boring or Stravinsky, Brahms, Shastakovich even Mozart or Beethoven. I mean the greatest musicians have all been very technical in their music and it's not even close to boring. If your refering to things like shredding on a guitar yes that is boring. Statiscally you are more likely to listen to a genre of music if you were brough up with it. That's all I meant when I said your parents influence your musical taste. And when you said new romantic right track then yes I actually believe what I know as New Age music is the worst genre of music ever. This is a joke a teacher told me when explaining why he doesn't like New Age music. What do you get if you play New Age Music backwards. New Age music. It's all consance.

For somebody who knows so much about music you should probably learn the difference between New Age and New Wave...

The correct answer is yes, they're very boring.

May I remind you that this thread was started by you saying that you didn't respect certain types of music because it was boring.
It's no use pissing & whining when people start saying the music you like is boring.

Don't bother Urban, he doesn't tend to listen.
