Ever since I joined a jazz band, and a concert band, I've learned what truly amazing music is. Good music isn't just some catchy jingle with a couple of kids blaring on their overdriven guitars. (And I play guitar, don't tell me I know nothing) Or it especially isn't just a repetitive beat with some fast-talking rapper talking nonsense about money and cars and god-knows-what.
Now, don't get me wrong, I like modern bands, like Weezer, but I think good music lasts forever. Like Frank Sinatra. Doesn't anybody listen to that anymore? I mean, there's nothing wrong with rap, or punk music, I guess, it's not my taste, but the reason I don't like it it because there's just nothing musically interesting about it.
Not that a song needs a lot of instruments to be interesting, it needs to be something more than the everyday tune. What do you think?
