No, I like a variety of bands from different genres. If I like 5% of the music in any given genre, I'm still being discerning.
Though I wouldn't say that I'm equal in my tastes. I might like 20% of the alt-country I hear, and 1% of the hip hop.
Just like if I only like a small percentage of foods in EACH of the food groups, I'm still being discerning.
Except I don't listen to anything that would fall in the "smooth jazz" category. Nor will I eat from the meat food group. Some things are just bad, and should be avoided.

It's like a fat person who will basically eat anything that's put on a plate in front of them just because it's there.
I choose not to be one of those people.
But you like most genres of music. Do you think this verges on contradiction

Your analogy is intriging though as most people I know only are passionate about one or two genres of music, but most of them will eat at any kind of resaurant. I dont think musical "taste" is the same as food.
So is it Ok to like 20% of indie(ish) rock you hear but only 2% of the hip-hop and 0% of the bluegrass.
In the end I will end up liking less music than you and will therefore have been more discerning?

I stand corrected. I guess I do like something from EVERY genre.

I can't even express how retarded this has gotten. And yet, I love it. I no longer know if we're literally just wanking off for the hell of it, or if this is a sensible though often low brow debate about musical genres, etc.
Hell, who cares, I am laughing my ass off right now.
ohmigod, ggw, you are so funny.

Justin Timberlake is playing at the 930 tonight at 11:30 p.m. I noticed that Kindred The Family Soul who scheduled to perform to tonight will hit the stage at 9 p.m. I'm heading there right this minute.

Correction: They are a ROCK band, just like GBV. Not one I'd pay money to see or hear, but certainly well above mediocre (same for GBV). I just thought I needed to bring Jadetree into the conversation somehow, and that was a surefire way.

So how was the Justin show?
Seth, great idea (the post-show show), just the wrong guy for me. Do it again with others if you can.
How about a Springsteen post-show show on Sept. 13th? You could sell tickets for $100 each, easy.

Huh, get over it. Wilco's on WOXY right now. Of course, Wilco's indie, not alt.country, right?
Anyhow, song is "Box Full of Letters" from album "A.M." – I'm assuming this is old? I like it, way more than that Billy Bragg crap (I love the Bragg man, but these two entities did not come together and produce genius).

I can't find the time, to write mah mind the way I want it to read.
That's a great song. Yes, A.M. is old. It's their first album. It's a shame people judge Wilco on their collaboration with Bragg.
Say, how about I start judging Bragg solely on his collaboration with Wilco?
