Musical Tolerance

Funky-Foo-Ni...	Date: March 24, 2007 @ 6:52 PM Hey I've got something for everyone to think about: Musical Tolerance. As in, musically, what can you handle? Why does one person like the crushing, sonic blows of the darkest of death metal while another appreciates the fluttering melodies of 70's ballad pop? Why would a person crave the beat-heavey, cut-n-scratch collages of turntablism and at the same time can't enough of Bach's cello suites? Do you think that, sometimes, people pay too much attnetion to what's playing the notes as opposed to the notes being played? Is that an unforgivable crime? Lot of questions. So gather, musicians, gather and discuss. Give your thoughts on the subject or even post questions of your own. What can you handle?

fireball87	Date: March 24, 2007 @ 8:35 PM Quite a bit of it also deals with nostalgia as well... In some cases though, its just certain stuff is just plain annoying to some people. Higher pitched things in bulk tend to bother me sometimes for example.
Fraser	Date: March 24, 2007 @ 9:25 PM Heck no With trance, usually artists come out with two or three good songs, so its not like I'm biased towards one artist. Also, it can't be me fitting into a social group, since nobody I know listens to the stuff I just love the melody, bass, and beat!!!
zedsalt	Date: March 25, 2007 @ 10:32 AM Becoming open to variety in music has enriched my life. That may not be very aptly worded, though, because I think I've always been pretty close to as open-minded as I am now in this regard; it's just that I've grown to care less about what other people think about my opinion. That may not be very aptly worded, though, because it may be more a matter of realizing just how little concern people have for my opinion. I do still feel like listening to material which sounds contrived for commercial/popularity reasons is a waste of my time. So, saying something is an insult to my ear isn't that much of an insult. After all, it means that piece has some REAL commercial potential.
DeadraveN	Date: March 25, 2007 @ 11:41 AM speaking for myself alone here.. I can and will listen to about anything, but what determines whther or not I like something is if it's heartfelt... you can hear in a person's music, regardless of genre if they 'mean it'.. or if they're 'faking it'... and that's what the determining factor is for me.
Alstroph	Date: March 25, 2007 @ 11:52 AM Same here. I do listen to everything. In one sitting I'll go from Lamb of God to Slayer, to Tower of Power, to Dave Brubeck, to Frank Zappa, to Robert Johnson. I enjoy everything from the heaviest metal (well... I haven't tried Black Metal yet) to the most classical of classical.
BOWILLIE	Date: March 25, 2007 @ 1:01 PM same for me..sometimes i actually wonder what genre i can place myself..being our creations run from country..pop..rock.. crooner types..even a reggea tune recently..and some classical work with pablikmm.. ultimately i think in order to grow musically ..an apppreciation of all styles is important.
PrincessTast...	Date: March 30, 2007 @ 3:31 PM I can tolerate a lot more weird noise than most people.
