Nothing wrong with being a music snob as long you don't belong to a collusionnary system.
Can't stand it when those prissies are making their mockery in group against an indivudal...been a while I have seen it here though. |

I have a problem with most modern rap and most(at least 95 percent)of modern pop so I guess I'm a snob too. It's not that I hate all of it but I certainly won't go out of my way to listen to it. So I guess I am a music snob to some degree. However, the part I struggle with is that I don't think the music is inherently worse or inferior it's just a matter of taste. So with that in mind I won't vote since I guess my attitude is ultimately somewhere in between.

d'accord. the biggest problem I have with rappers are however the lyrics. they consider themselves to be great rhymers but their rhymes are actually pathetic

Yes, just because it does rhyme, doesn't make it a good rhyme.

Ha ha. I have a goat in a coat on a boat. I wonder if it will float. Maybe I should build a moat.

Cute Mike, I think it's going to be the next rap hit! |

I have actually written a rap or two. I'm not going to post them on here though. Prog rap. Now, there's a genre that hasn't happened yet. I guess it's only a matter of time.

Wasn't there a discussion somewhere about if that was even possible? I have heard a band that was doing sort of Viking/Nordic/Germanic music (in pretty wild costumes), that then went into a rap....I actually thought it was pretty cool until they did that....kind of disconcerting...never looked up any more of that band after that.

I don't know. There are lots of hybrid genres out there though. There was even a bluegrass band who were pretty proggy at one point called the Punch Brothers but I think they eventually went back to regular bluegrass.

The Strawbs started as a bluegrass-inspired outfit....

Oh, yeah.
And damned proud of it, too. lol If I like it, it is good. And, if I don't like it, it isn't. |

Perhaps finding the happy medium is harder than we know.

Agreed to a point, specially as some of the "hits" in rap are, for me, not that exciting, and the lyrics are not even entertaining ... and I'm not sure they were actually "written", and a lot of it may just be ad-lib which is fine with me, however you can tell by how many times these rhymes are "forced" ... and your and my appreciation for them kinda dies down quickly. One of my favorite albums has some rap, and some different kind of rap ... grab a hold of Ryuichi Sakamoto's couple of albums ... Neo Geo has Iggy Pop almost doing rap, and sometimes simply speaking on the songs and it sounds really good. ... Heartbeat is a fantastic album and the title song is over the top and a fantastic thing that has singing and then rap on it ... and it works. Beauty is the 3rd album in the series and the rap in there is different and done with other folks, almost to the point that calling it "rap" is kinda crazy ... Europe, however, has a lot of folks that do rap, and it is very different than the American version which to my ears is very RAW and not cleaned up! Not sure these thoughts fit in the "snob" area ... but what the heck!

"Skiffle" is C&W? I gotta re-read Cousins' book again ... it was a difficult one to review and describe and I was not sure I would be in the right path if I reviewed it ... it gave me a better perspective on the radio situation in England with the BBC than it did with his band!

15 days? Maybe 15 seconds for me! I would really like a country band to enjoy. I've just ordered an album by The Band Perry. I've heard a few songs by them and I actually like them!

Great band The Punch Brothers. I wouldn't say they've ever been "regular" bluegrass - they've even covered Radiohead songs. "Kid A" on the mandolin!

Frankly, I never thought about it, and honestly, I don't really care. I like music, and the music I like and listen to is chosen by my personal taste. If that makes me a snob or not, Who cares?
