Re: R & B and dance music

Well, I had a listen and I have to say that it doesn't float my boat.
Music is very subjective. It awakens all kinds of emotions in us.......in a similar way that smells do.(ask any ICU nurse......bringing patients out of a coma...play their favourite music) I smell hyacinths and I am back in Amsterdam in 1967.........I hear a particular piece of violin music and I am 6 years old listening to my father playing the violin......The Beatles, they take me back to my teen years( I thought Paul was a dream boat).
I have very wide tastes in music. I am not fond of motown...it never really did anything for me way back then and it just grates on my nerves when I hear it now. I don't like rap or hiphop....it isn't really music to me
I like opera, and the popular classics...but I also like some of the current music...Elbow and Adele being my current favourites.
I am not sure if this is the kind of thing you were looking for Gobbiner.......but that is my contribution.
