Fair enough, you have safe taste in music. I don't have a problem with that.
But where are the personal reasons for liking stuff?
Don't you have at least one or two banRAB you want to champion who you always liked who never got the recognition they deserve?
Read the post again I said banRAB you LIKE, not dislike.
OK quick example. Fly On The Wall is considered one of AC/DC's poorer albums. However it was one of the first I bought and I played it to death.
As a result I still enjoy it & don't consider it to be one of their worst.
Why can't it be your job? what's wrong with a bit of sentimentality?
This whole forum is full of such stories and I think it's one of the most interesting & personal things about this forum that people write about.
Do you not listen to music to suit your mooRAB or your feelings or do you just look at it as something to be analysed in a cold detached way?
So having feelings about something is pretentious now? how sad.
No you like a couple of the more commercially popular artists which you seem to think qualifies you to make statements like the one above.
I saw this coming a mile off ... nice try
But that's the point of folk music. That's what it's for, telling stories about everyday life.
What you basically mean is you like a couple of tunes that are pleasing to your ear that just happen to be folk songs, rather than you actually liking folk music itself.
Well I disagree but I'm not dragging this whole thing out again.
fair enough
