I like country, rap, and today's popular tunes.

I particularly like the Villebillies, sort of a rap/country fusion!

With this list, you can get a good idea of what I like.

Wow, I had no idea Deezer had even one Buckethead album. Where'd you get those rarities?

I like rock n' roll and hard rock bands like Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, Van Halen, and Jimi Hendrix. I also like Mario Music. In a way.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #20 on:** October 22, 2007, 06:14:26 PM »

That somehow implies that it's unusual or something for people to like Mario music. Or video game music in general.

Anyway, I remembered I like Rammstein too.

I checked out some jazz records from the library today, and I'm really getting into it. I really dig jazz.

Jazz be good. I like smooth jazz a bit more, though.

(I am jealous over the fact that horn is not an instrument that's normally used in jazz, which probably explains that.)

I dislike regular jazz because it seems kind of discordant to me, and smooth jazz usually sounds like Weather Channel muzak. I prefer blues over jazz.

Glorb: A lot of Jazz is supposed to be dissonant. But most isn't discordant. Complex harmonies and dissonance are just ... complex, is all.

Amram's one of the very few exceptions. I'd like to see horn a lot more than in just his works, though. :|

Well, what I meant was, I prefer music that has a definite rythm over the whole song, rather than a sort of freestyle "DOOOOOOdoodoodooodlydoodlydeedlydoodlydiddlydiddly doodiddlydadeedlydoodoodlydiddly..." saxophone solo. I guess that could be it; I'm just not a saxophone fan. But whatever.

Yeah, true hardcore jazz is very very free-form. And there is also guitar, piano and trumpet in a lot of jazz, it's not just sax.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #29 on:** October 24, 2007, 11:19:25 PM »

Glorb, you're describing a relatively small portion of Jazz as a whole. You're only talking about the kind of stuff Miles Davis did in the mid '60s and stuff like Ornette Coleman did. And Ornette Coleman is pretty far out there. Free Jazz still exists, of course, but it isn't in the majority by a long shot.
I have to say, though, Free Jazz is definitely some of my favorite. And even in most free jazz there is still a main melody and a form to the music. The time just floats more.
