Re: R & B and dance music
 
Oh Brothers stuck in the time warp of the 50s, 60s and 70s soul, rhythm and blues era, I have failed to get even the slightest hint you will open up your closed dark hearts to the bright light of modern music, not even stuff from your millennium never mind the millennium the rest of us are living in. Through a few fixed thoughts you have limited yourselves to a small fraction of the musical enjoyment you could be blessed with. If you could just move from 'never' to 'maybe', a whole new world of musical appreciation could open up before you.

The world of acid, trance, tribal, trip hop, jungle, breakbeats, downtempo, ambient, freestyle, gabber, garage, house, deep house, latin house, happy house, minimal, new age, new wave, speed garage, techno and electro and dub versions will give you a warm welcome if you would just say 'maybe' and listen out for the magic within the sound. Oh well, I do not pity you because you have found your limits and have learned to live within them, so long may you enjoy your R & B. My feelings are ones of astonishment, amazement and surprise rather than pity, but also deep gratitude and thanks for my good fortune to be able to appreciate the ever expanding world of music and to discover more sonic gems every day.

But perhaps we can share the same sentiment - "This isn't sometimes this is always. This isn't maybe, this is forever, this is love."

I agree about the 90%. Perhaps even 99%. But that 1% is superb but you haven't acquired the taste yet it seems.

Of course, listening to MP3s doesn't help when it is the quality of the sounds that make such a big difference. Doesn't matter so much with R & B when the original recording quality wasn't that great. Makes me wonder whether today's young folk have ever heard a decent sound system when they walk around with earplugs attached to their phone or ipod all the time. By decent, I mean £100 turntable, about £250 for the amp, £200 for speakers, £200 for CD player with a good DAC, second hand at today's prices.

Agree that most people seem to like the music they heard first or in their teens and this continues all their life. Wyn said dub reggae is atrocious and I thought this until one day when it 'clicked'. I've loved it ever since, it's the best part of any track. We are strange animals.

yeh but i aint never been most people, when i first heard the early Stone Roses which me daughter was into, loved em right away, the same thing had occurred wi other groups/artists, not that many i concede, but i maintain yeh know pretty quickly in yer own opinion if summats good. if it takes time then it can't be that great.
