Ignorance, I've listened to the groups people put on a pedestal in here. It's not easy listening a lot of times. Isn't that what good music is about? Being able to listen to it over and over aga...
It's all perception. Different things are pleasant to different people. Just like different foods. Yeh, maybe something like Super Furry Animals might sound off to this one or that one. Personally, I've gotten teary-eyed over Super Furry Animals' songs and have even cried (and no, not 'cause I couldn't stand the music, it's because they're music strikes an emotional chord with me) and maybe to others their music might just seem silly. Even the Welsh speaking songs, where I can't understand what they're saying hits me in a special way. Different music gets different reactions from different people. Music is a form of art. At an art gallery not everyone loves a certain painting or certain form of art. Some like surrealism, some like impressionism, some like pop art, so on and so on. Maybe more people like Monet, but does that make Dali a no good artist with not as much talent as Monet 'cause he doesn't appeal to the masses?
some people like van gogh, some like thomas kincaid...
Good analogy using artists. So to the masses those artists are better, because their genius appeals to more people. That's the point I'm getting at.
so thomas kincade is better a better artist than sandro botticelli because he sells more artwork?
yeah
Actually I find it extremely paradoxical that you say you enjoy the music of Pink Floyd with everything you seem to stand for. hehe
Pink Floyd is legendary.
