May I ask what either of those mean? LOL

Sure. Minimal Music is a bit of a misnomer; the big names here are Steve Reich, Philip Glass, and Terry Riley. It's not really that "minimal" at all; it can seem repetitive at first, but really it just develops over longer periods of time.

Chiptune is any music directly or indirectly related to 8-bit computers like Commodore 64, Nintendo Entertainment System etc, or more rarely 16-bit computers like Commodore Amiga and Atari ST. That is, music either made on those computers (or a combination of them), or covers of old video game music with any kind of instrumentation, or just music loosely inspired by it.

I have to put in a shameless plug - a buddy of mine (who does the audio in games that we make together) does chiptunes under the name of "Bit Rat". He recently released his first full length album under that name and apparently it has been getting pretty good reviews, even being compared to some of the big names (I think) in the scene (although I don't know who they are, as I don't really listen to chiptunes myself xD). 

You might be interested - his site is here: http://www.josiahtobin.com/bit_rat/index.html

Not if we can't illegally download it. LOL
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hi,
 
No favorite bands since all the music is good, and I love music, not prog!

No Prog Sub-Genres or Types since these are not even close to what most artists are about, and tends to limit what any artist is capable of doing. So Vincent Price is only a horror actor and an idiot as a serious actor, just because that's all you can accept? How would you feel if you were him? Or Christopher Lee?

No Favorite Non-Prog Genres since music is music, and saying that eastern music is worse than rock'n'roll or Eric Clapton is so ethnocentric that you would get a failing grade in school.

No Favorite Decades in Music since there has always been music in the history of mankind. But I am not sure that you can appreciate a lot of it.


Sleepy Sleepy Sleepy Sleepy Sleepy

Took you a long-ass time to say nothing.

Actually he put quite well what I was going to say which is with so much good stuff out there, picking favorites can be a bit of pointless exercise.  Still can be fun though.  I mean pointless exercises in typing is what the forums are all about.  Yeah, yeah, sometimes some of us make some good points.  I try to interject humor as much as possible.  I know some you just aren't sophisticated enough to appreciate my stuff, but I've come to accept it.  OK I've got to stop now. LOL

I'm of the opinion that those kinds of questions are not serious enough for you to discuss "music"! That simple! But if you want to write a book on the socio-economic bs of these for your dissertation go ahead. Hint .. you might only be able to do this in Berkeley! Because too much of the stuff that you wish to honor is not even considered, and I'm not sure that you have any idea as to why that is so!

That includes you, enough with the lecturing on how we can and can not express our tastes in music.
