So....Music
Ikrik:
I love music, I enjoy listening to it, love discovering it, talking to people about it, getting recommendations and giving them. I'd like to think I know a lot about music but the truth is, that whenever I come into this music forum I feel like a twelve year old kid reading a medical text-book. So I thought it would be cool to ask the people that I use for music the most about music. Not about recommending music or listing off their favourite bands but to talk about music. What your favourite time in music was and why, why your favourite band is your favourite, why certain cities breed certain kinds of sound, the driving force and influence of pop music...I know almost nothing about music, I thought I'd start here. Book recommendations aren't really...useful to me. I have over 30 books that I own that I have to get through...Moby Dick, Don Quioxite, and The Silmarillion to name three. So. Let's talk about music.

Well ... first, don't read the first and the third of those books. They are horrible. Also, as a starting point, on topic, what do you, personally, like, in the realm of music.
I mean, it's such a vast universe ...

Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong.
I mean, I know judging art is almost entirely subjective, but there comes a point where it is possible to be wrong. This is like saying High School Musical is a better made movie than The Godfather.

To say I like rock and alternative probably doesn't help too much. I also dig oldschool funk and hip-hop as well as the oldschool blues. People like Blind Willie McTell I really, really enjoy. Asides from that I'm also really interested where pop music evolves from and the music it evolves from. Like, I have the idea that Madonna was not the pioneer that people say she is but I have no idea where she took her music from. Actually, thinking about it, I would love to know how the mainstream music works.
BeoPuppy:
I always think that everyone builds on from what everyone else made before ... so, for instance, to keep it close to your heart, there were more people who really loved the blues. But they started to play it heavier and suddenly there was Led Zeppelin.
That was the condensed version, by the way ...
Still; look, listen and then steal.
