the whole point of this thread is surely to say things that we all know are gonna piss everyone off?
anyway.. a few of my own opinions:
99% of all bands are ****e. this spans all genres equally.
i dont beleive a person is a music fan unless they have spent time and effort into delving deep into various genres to find their ideal bands, as well as having a interest in exploring other genres.
its impossible to dislike a whole genre, as its impossible to hear a whole genre. your comments about disliking trumpets is invalid as not all jazz uses trumpets... etc.
the best music is whats being made today. how can it not be when it builds and expands on what was made in the past?
the mp3 will lead to the death of music as an art form. aiding in this is the big 4 major labels who should not be given money at all costs.
if you hear a song on the radio or on tv, its pop.
genres are important and interesting.
opinions cant be wrong when stated as opinions.. but when they are stated as fact they can justifiably be falsified.
oh and Beat yr own KID is probably the most interesting poster ive seen on this forum.
