Rok, under the topic of music, there are 3 threads that don't even discuss music. I really don't know what they're discussing; I'll give you the titles and you can discern it for yourself.
1. When rap came out 30 years ago I thought it was just a fad
2. Why do people who are into rap and hip-hop even want a high-end audio system
3. Should we use ridiculously priced cables to listen to Rap?
These three threads are under the topic of music. Is number 1 a philosophical question, or what?
Number 2; why don't they take a hip-hop rap survey?
Number 3; I wouldn't use ridiculously priced cables to listen to anything.
I consider these three threads as an indication to how bad current music sucks.
Ok, O-10 seem upset that those clips were ignored. Speaking for myself, the reason is simple, I didn’t want to open yet another can of worms. But if you insist: I will admit that "Smooth Jazz" is not my favorite genre, but I have room for it generally and some of it can be a heck of a lot of fun. But, I find those two examples to not be very good examples of the genre. As much grief as smooth jazz gets from some, the fact is that some smooth jazz artists are terrific musicians and in most ways stick to the spirit of jazz in having a strong sense of spontaneity, improvisation and instrumental ability; not those guys, sorry. I find those two examples to be extremely formulaic and the music sounds as if they stick strictly to a written out or pre-determined template. I would bet you that if you heard them play those tunes live they would sound EXACTLY the same as they do on those clips; not the case with some other musicians in the genre.
When I found good "old jazz", Frogman knocked it. When I found "new jazz", Frogman knocked it, but he doesn't have a problem with those three threads.
What do you think is the solution Rok; I'm totally lost.
