Ah, let me rephrase that. What I meant was large parts of rap songs don't have a melody. The only rap I've heard without a melody the whole way through is little kids trying to rap on the playground :rofl: .

Wow, I never thought I'd hear a professionally done song without a melody.

I'm not under that impression. Are you?

Referring to the original post. ARCTIC MONKEYS. A band that is buried beneath a ton of hype, and on the face of things; are not that original. The Arctics allure is their quintessential English-ness. Every so often a band comes along that use phrases and colloquialisms adhereing to their own upbringing. The music does'nt have to be particulary original. It nevertheless has honesty and poignancy. THE KINKS/XTC/BLUR-these are bands that are a reminder of ENGLAND-and I salute them. Their music sometimes will not blow your socks off, but I would never consider them overarted.

^ Don't forget The Jam.

I love how they spent the whole thing pointing out that Britpop was born out of frustration of 80s mainstream music & how the major labels jumped on it & made it safe with bands like Travis, Coldplay & Stereophonics , and then right at the end claimed British music was the best it's ever been which I thought was the biggest load of rubbish i'd ever heard , especially if your giving examples like The Kaiser Chiefs.
I'd say the Arctic Monkeys are the best of a really bad bunch which is why their importance is overstated somewhat.

It seems to me your point is continually falling apart. HOW does rap lack things which would categorize it as music? You haven't given me a thing. Well, you gave me something, but then you took it back. So please, continue.

My point is still the same actually. A good deal of rap "music" doesn't have one of the essential parts of music. To Pilz, you implyed that because a magazine thought that Paul's best solo work was Ram, that it was fact.

I had made no such implication. You made an assumption that I had believed that the article would prove a fact, whereas I had merely wanted to irk my former colleague.

Fair 'nuff?

Ok, I misinterpreted what you said.
