Guys guys! I just found out something!
Bias will never allow us to convince him differently, or vice versa! This thread is like talking to a wall!
Just in case you didn't know, I mean it's news to me.

No, of course you're not going to convince me otherwise--these albums have stirred me like no other.
Give me your own choices for the most profound album(s) you've heard. I'm not going to accept Black Dice or Fugazi--Those albums are full of emotions, but trivial ones. Emotions that appeal to our reptilian brain stems.
I'll accept Smile, although I've never cared for it.
And if you're one of those people who are into those "darker" emotions, one release this year genuinely captures real darkness--not fake, NIN-Spawn-comic darkness. I'll let you guys figure out wich one it is, since your're all hip to music and stuff.

Are you dismissing every emotion that you don't feel when lstening to your Talk Talk as fake?
Heh, lemme guess, you believe the two deepest emotions are "Love" and "Fear." Get over yourself. Each emotion is real, every feeling, every thought. Just because you're so high up on your pedistal you're getting light headed from the lack of oxygen doesn't mean you get to decide whether or not what we feel is real.
By the way, as far as influencing emotion, I'll stick to my Iron and Wine. Sam's voice is alot easier to listen to anywase.

Fear is a pretty shallow emotion. Love can be the deepest of all emotions, but it's been co-opted and packaged by bad pop music and hollywood movies so oftenthat we are unable to identify the real thing when it shows up. The emotions found in the music of Jessia Simpson or the movies of Michael Bay aren't real. I'm sure you know this. They're meant to appeal to the shallowest parts of us, and when something comes along that is genuine and deep, we have trouble registering it.

Huh, it seems my little reference to Donnie Darko flew over most peoples heads...
And quit attempting to tell me that I haven't broken the fourth wall of emotions. It makes me want to puke, get off your emotional high horse and realize that every huma is built with the same capacity to feel.

I am incredibly optimistic for the human race. however, today in our increasingly encroaching post-modern society where irony abounds, the ability to discern real emotions from fake, packaged ones is a rare one.

That was funny! Tell another one.
No, but seriously, what exactly is a "heavenly" voice? Don't just give examples, explain. What qualities must a voice have to be considered "heavenly?" Does it have to fall within a certain range? Does it have to be male or female or can either gender create "heavenly" vocals? What is it exactly about this Hollis dude that makes his voice as good as you say it is?
If you try to say something along the lines of "well, it just is and you don't understand it yet," or "I know it when I hear it and you should too," or pretty much anything that isn't "well, it is because I think it is and that's about it," all you've done is exposed yourself as someone who can't understand that different people think about things differently and someone who hears a voice you consider "heavenly" has every right to think of it as ... anything. And they'll be exactly as correct as you are.
