I'm sorry sir
I'm rather late in my response, but I guess that's okay as I've had a week of downtime.
Now, that is out of the way, I have listened to Joanna Newsom, she is not for me.
I don't think she's for you either. Apparently Joanna Newsom is for people who take the time to appreciate things, thoughtful and considerate people. What I've seen of you suggest that you have none of these traits.
Even if Dragonforce and Emo is shit (I wouldn't know because I don't listen to either) I would not dismiss everybody who listens to them as being "retarded". It's pretty clear that not everybody who listens to Joanna Newsom is very intelligent or pleasant either.
Pretty much everybody except you (and me) has made an effort to be pleasant in this thread and chosen not to insult people. I'd love to hear your thoughts on music, I'd love to debate and argue with your, unfortunately, as soon as you say that half of the people on this board are "retarded" you're going to lose credibility pretty quick and your opinion won't be worth a damn. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't call everybody that doesn't listen to the same music as you retarded.
Perhaps you meant to direct the insult at me? If you had, I probably wouldn't have bothered to respond to you with more than a sentence, but you seem to have lost the point of your own post and I feel quite sorry for you. I feel like I have to respond like this so you don't make a mistake like that again.
The people of this forum are NICE people. You don't seem like a nice person. I'm worried that if you don't make an effort to be then you won't fit in and a lot of people will dislike you.
I'm sure not all of the music you listen to is like Joanna Newsom. I'm sure that you like 4 minute pop songs with guitar solos too.
I don't find Joanna Newsom all that special. And I explained why. I did so without insulting a single person. I remained (for the most part) polite to all these people that don't share my opinion. Maybe for once, somebody could learn something from me? That would be a very welcome change.
Now, Jedit. You're smarter than that and you know it. Think a little harder next time. If you are indeed trying to say that Inlander and those like him are wrong, then you haven't thought hard enough about what you want to say.
I think what you meant to say was 'I don't like Joanna Newsom because I think a kid could write her lyrics and her voice is irritating, I doubt her album is going to be remembered as one of the best of our generation'.
PS: Ekmesnz, my music collection would put yours to shame, and not because it's particularly big.
