But you had to have the BIIIIIG salad!

I can't imagine what station would play them.

Think of what you're saying,
You can get it wrong
And still you think that it's all right.
Think of what I'm saying,
We can work it out
And get it straight or say good night.

There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God, I know I'm one

Heavy Metal Chainsaw

A lot of techno sounds unmusical to me.

Caution children! Happy ice cream dancing for you!

Okay, this is like the one I mentioned earlier, but a little different.

Some people play music that has a lot of bass, then they turn up the bass and volume so fucking loud that no stereo system on earth could play it without distorting. (Of course, they're doing this on some shitty car stereo anyway)

So, then, instead of getting BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM

you get BRRRMpptapBRRMpfftBBBMMfffppBORMRMfaff

On top of that, the vibration has loosened half of the bolts on the car, resulting in the accompanying rattling of every trim piece on the damn thing. The term "rattletrap" comes to mind.

85% of video games are above the median in quality.

If that's that song by Steam, that's nothing like what I'm talking about. That song has other lyrics.

I'm talking about a song that is literally just a beat with a woman's voice going, "AaaaahhaaaaaAAAAAAAhhhh OOOOOHHOooooOOoOOHHHHooooOHH!"

Okay, gotcha.

I don't know who does the song I was thinking of. For some reason it popped in my head when reading your post(my mind works in very strange ways).

Hey Jude?

I remember Hey Jude. But not the other "nana" one I was thinking of.

The type of music I loathe is dance with vocals (usually female) which have been put through a pitch-shifter, or similar, in an attempt make the singing sound "cute". Yuk.

I've heard a lot of people complain about that, but I'm not sure what examples there are of it.

Except Cher's "Believe" which most people that make that complaint seem to give a pass for being the first (?) (famous?) example of it.

I think it's call "autotune"? We were at the movie theater the other night and a song (that turned out to be Jojo's "Too Little Too Late") and it sounded like that.

This article has a bunch of example of it.

It sounds like Soundwave's voice to me.

its kindof funny to think about how the staple of notorious music is known as having -a guitar, a bass, drums, maybe some added percussion, and microphones.

any repetition of sound, rythem, or melody can be considered music ...technically.

Tradition.
-and music that can be interpreted in many ways.

I have trouble with finding the pleasure in listening to most music for a few reasons.

how distracting it is-
first off, the music that I have in mind that tarnishes the word "music" ...is any song that portrays too much novelty.--(the Benny Hill "theme" comes to mind here lol)

how lyrics set a course for the melody of a song-
I don't know how many times I find myself trying to ignore music because of how the song tries to convey a message.
I mean ...Music is a great platform for expressionism...with enormous potential.....and with a nice melody for a backdrop...some songs are really good at getting the mood right.
-I still haven't found myself listening to music just because of the lyrics in a song.

how narrow the field of music- or accessibility to it- still is-
it isn't the idea of becoming rich off of your music as much as a reason to make it.
it is annoying how society depends on the way things are labeled- or catagorized ....to me.
.....it seems like sometimes that somewhere, one person convinced themselves of something, then found a way to enlist a group of people that held a majority seat on the table of -- funded entertainment & distribution for the masses.
..stereotypes do have their advantages...

the skill it takes to piece together quality music-
.....

but for the most part....life is better with music. lol
......even if it is played only for the ambience...or played in spare time.
-and to think that if I didn't find some of the compositions that I own.....
