What is you fave genre?

[Pappa]

I like just about everything, except rap, fucking hate rap.

Clearly, you need some Goldie Lookin' Chain in your life.

Some who?

Cultural enlightenment

Here, that would be considered pop music.

They're basically satire....

I can't listen to them on my ipod on the train to work, I always laugh too much.

[JacksSmirkingRevenge]

Jazz fusion/rock for me please.
Also, classical.....couldn't live without classical.

I'll tolerate most stuff (for a while, at least) except Rap.....which I don't class as music.

[Deep Sea Isopod]

Actually, I like Rap. I can hear the art that goes into the words. Not that stuff that old people try to do. I listen to Eminem and there is true talent writing those lyrics.
Rap lyrics is great peotry.

[Red Katie]

Can't stand rap. Hate the pounding rhythm--I can hear the rhythm, God damn it; give me a break--don't like the brutal, crime-centric nature of it, and especially don't like the short, choppy rhyme. That kind of abuse of the tools of poetry hurts my heart. The whole enterprise just reeks of ignorance.

That's probably because you're only hearing that bullshit they play one the radio and not the real stuff.

[Red Katie]

These days, about the only time I hear it is emanating from automobiles.

[RappingAgnostic]

What's with all the irrational hate for hip-hop

[Red Katie]

Irrational? My tasted doesn't agree with yours, so it's irrational? Jump in the crick.

[RappingAgnostic]

Yeah, your hate for it is irrational.
I don't care whether or not you like it but you don't seem to understand it at all. Then you make all these assumptions of what it is.

[Red Katie]

Assumptions my ass. There's nothing wrong with my ears.

Besides, I run with the poetry crowd, where half the young people are all about hip hop. I hear yards of it. It all sucks.

[Chinaski]

Only rap I like is The Streets. Red Katie, check out Turn The Page by them. Here:

[Red Katie]

No thanks.

[Clinton Huxley]

Genre? Rock! Turn it up to 11, layer the harmonies until dolphins are throwing themselves under speedboats to escape, until the very foundations of the earth start to vibrate and a giant Ronnie James Dio head emerges majestically from the sands of the Sahara!

RRROOOCCCKKKK!!!

[Red Katie]

RRROOOCCCKKKK!!!

Explain, please. Where's the pleasure in blowing your ears out with distorted guitars and overly boosted bass? It must be there. Lot's of people love it. I just can't figure it out.
