Lawl, hes ignorant this coming from the man who called someones opinion subjective and then bullsh
it.

Hahaha, so just because it isn't prog its a "half written half performed punk rock anthem with badly out of tuned guitars"? Christ, music doesn't have to be sh
itty to have passion. You're basically making stupid generalizations, though it shouldn't be shocking by now. I'd consider Patrick Wolf very passionate yet hes still classically trained and ridiculously talented, same with Piglet, Yo La Tengo, Modest Mouse, etc.

Clearly we have very different preferences in art... You prefer music that suggests modernism and absract expressionism (which I dispise, but wont deny as an art form) where no discipline and just a vague understanding of the painting process is required while I prefer music that suggests impressionism and post-impressionism where at least some discipline and craftsmanship is key... The main difference here is I only talk about my preference and bands I think are either good or bad regardless of their genre, because I don't think a genre determines weither a band will be good or not. You talk about a whole bunch of unnecessary restrictions and what music should and shouldn't be... But in reality there is nothing that music needs other than the 3 things that make the basis for all music theory, which is Melody, Harmony and Rhythm.

LOL@bolded part, I don't feel like dragging up quotes but the amount of times you've gone around saying indie sucks, I think you're the biggest hypocrite here.

If they think it makes or break or song, then yes, they are ignorant.

Personal preference = ignorance.

I seriously doubt that a well designed, highly advanced A.I. would have a hard time playing what The Fall and Stiff Little Fingers play, especially when considering that a 9 year old can do it.

Missing the point ftw.

Many progressive rock bands don't lack in individuality, uniqueness or idealogy, not in the slightest... I said it time and time again that you can't measure something as trivial as emotion... Emotion is completely insignificant when it comes to quality performance, I can be a spinal surgeon who is passionate about what I do, but if I don't have the slightest idea about treating a fracture in the L4 Vertebrate, then regardless of how I feel, I am an unreliable surgeon.

I think the Ramones are a better band then any prog band i've heard. Are they "technically better?" Nope, I think you're the one using sh
itty analogies now.

I know music theory and do extremely well in it and I still think technical music sucks.
