I'll start out.

Hip Hop.

The problem: I find that the repetition of vocals and their focus on rhythm rather than melody doesn't hold my attention. Also, vulgarities in lyrics turn me off. I didn't even really care for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. I thought it had moments, but that they couldn't be redeemed by what I considered negative qualities (f.ex. that piano based song where the guy at the end talks about ****ing for two or three minutes).

So far, I've found a few albums that I consider listenable, but wouldn't purchase for myself or listen to regularly.

  • Eternia & MoSS - At Last
  • Dalek - Absence
  • Buck 65 - 20 Odd Years
  • Beast - Beast
  • Why? - Alopecia
I like instrumental hip hop, and I love trip hop. The one album closest to hip hop in nature that I can say I love through and through is Gorillaz - Demon Days.

So, any hope for me?
