I do have very specific tastes. I like simple melodies more than complex ones. I find it easier to listen to "simple" music. This might have something to do with the fact that I am a recovered...

OK: Sorry for my long absence. I did come back to Sweden on February 14. But due to the fact that I am away from home 14 hours per day from Monday to Thursday due to work, combined with the fact that...

Music has (or should) have nothing to do with politics.

But there is a link between music and education. Education has everything to do with the mind - and the mind has everything to do with...

OK, strictly speaking politics is off topic. But the subject came up.

And I am serious - I do believe that the deterioration in the schools can explain the deterioration in popular music.

The fact that John Lennon was a college dropout means nothing. My hypothesis was not that getting a "bad education" can render you unable to write good music - but that getting you mind screwed up by...

I am aware of the fact that there were school districts and school districts. Kids in the slums got an even worse education than us kids in the prosperous suburbs.

The trouble is that when the...

It is an objective fact that much of popular music today is noise. I have listened to modern punk, metal music and rap. Many of the songs I heard were devoid of melody.

It is not easy at all to...

My answer to that is that you must have observed a few instances of low quality in America, hastily generalized and leaped to the conclusion that "business" as such has nothing to do with quality.

Well, I will never reach omniscience. And I am too smart to worry my head about that fact. The best procedure is to think in principles.

On the basis of rational principles, I say that it makes...

I am not aware of the existence of any musical artist/group who has made still better pop music than the Beatles but who has been neglected by the music industry. It is possible in principle that...

You have a point. It is certainly possible that a lot of good pop music has been written in recent years - but that I am unaware of it because it has not become successfully mass-marketed.

Still...

A plausible answer to that question is that there probably is not nearly as much good classical music, jazz music, blues music, folk music etc. being written as in earlier times either.

My wife is from Vietnam. I will have to ask her about the pop music scene over there (I know that they have some - Vietnam has been westernized in recent decades).

But during the sixties there were so many good bands too! Are there any equivalents of The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, The Cream, Bob Dylan etc. nowadays? I think not!
