^ Your music class sounds like a riot.

Unlike your posts, I don't find technical music boring.
That is, not all of it. Some technical music is boring... and... some isn't.
A little bit like all music really.
What I was trying to say, is that there is a danger that lies with listening to music in too much detail.
This includes spending your time playing spot the tricky bits, at the expense of taking in the general vibe of the particular piece of music you happen to be listening to at the time.
Or in other words, not being able to see the wood for the trees.

I know there are people out there, who attend classical concerts, intently listening to every note played with an enthusiastic relish. And good luck to them.
Thankfully I'm not one of them.
Nope I enjoy my music far too much for that game.
And before you accuse me of being a Philistine, I do consider myself to be a musician, albeit not a very good one and certainly not for a good while.

And please stop making thinly veiled threads with subject matter like "isn't it a shame that I couldn't buy such and such a record, at such and such a place", as a vehicle to flex what musical knowledge you learnt this week at college.

It's arrogant and condescending and downright bloody irritating.
It would be nice to see you settle into these boards and take from them, as much as you are willing to give.

Here is one of, The new, Country star's of the day, If you like contemporary, alternative, new, old, decade, era. of different styles of music. 'Jason Aldean' is a force to be recognized, with a, New/Country Sound. I noticed two major influences I heard right off, 'Eagle's', 'Rolling Stones'. After only listening to his newest album 'Relentless' once. I have yet to hear all of, his first album. I like 'Johnny Cash' & 3 other singles off of relentless album, so far. I am familar with his single Hicktown, from his first album. Some really insaine low ends with the bass player, Guitar, ect. Jason Aldean is a talented country artist that is gaining more respect as an artist, everyday. It is hard to listen to everything out there, with so many different styles, etc. to choose from. It could make your head spin, just thinking about all the different styles, decades, etc. there are, to choose from. And of course, you have to be looking for it, compared to, not looking. In the first place. New Country, Can be just as Good, As Classic Country, etc.

The best country music came in the 60s and 70s. What you hear today is not country, it's suburban.

George Jones, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Ray Charles " Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music"

I simply love the people that are new, and make it a point to give their opinion, without knowing exactly what they are talking about before they post. Its like they are angry because everyone else doesnt like, what only they, believe is good music. alot are young, so I just ignore them. I was young once, so I dont ignore them out of disrespect. But adults, I ignore completely. I wont even debate to a statement that is twisting & turning my words to meet they're criteria, a completely untrue statement, bias opinions, etc. I wish some people would think before they speak, Atleast, before they reply to one of my post. I actually think that there are so many, that just dont possess any common sense at all, Its not all that hard. You dont have to look it up on the computer, or in book's. After 30yrs. + in the music buisness, hopefully. You might learn something, and actually know a little bit, about what you are talking about. I myself, dont confess to know everything there is to know about the music industry, etc. But I do use common sense....Peace.

That's being close-minded. The older country is just different from country of today. Time changes genres of music. I prefer the newer comtemporary country to the classics of yesteryear. I'm able to atleast tolerate the new country. I don't even like country as a whole but I can tolerate it in small doses.

At first, it's all because of Jewel Kilcher
