    When I hear Money on the radio with the cheesy cash register sound effects, I have to turn it off.

    When I hear Another Brick in the Wall with the awful school-boy choir, I have to turn it off.

    I don't find their music progressive or inspiring at all. I think there were much more progressive bands at the time churning out much better music.

    No Because you are trying to teach your grandad to suck eggs. I have just posted eight videos about Mingus and told you how for years I have tried to encourage Miles about soul, blues, Jazz etc and you reply was that I should listen to some Mingus and broaden my horizons like Miles

    @Beanz why are you always combative I have no beef with you. We're both fathers, we both work hard for our kids, why do we have to fight all the time? Why can't we just talk about music? You're a very aggressive person and if you let anger and stress run your life you'll end up in an early grave, it's no good for a man's heart to be so angry.

    Here, I'll start. In terms of British rock I always felt the Zombies' Odessey and Oracle was a fine masterpiece of eclectic, quirky rock gems. I quite enjoy the starting track, which I felt should have been a bigger hit.

    Well it good that you like Mingus and I know you don't want to hear this but I truly believe it cleanses the palette after listening to a lot of hard, aggressive stuff.

    It's not just punk rock, I like action movies but I can't watch them every time, some times I have to throw on a Pixar film, they do great work and it always brings a tear to my eye. Cleanses the palette, cleanses the soul.

    Ah .. I see what you mean. For me music is very important and so of course i would never limit myself. That is true whether I am listening, recording, composing, arranging or documenting it.

    Yes, it's me who is not so into jazz or rap. Jazz is something I could potentially get into if I explored, but rap is something I mostly dislike. I mostly cannot relate to rap music, it talks about a lifestyle and culture I have no interest in. Music is important to me, but I have to feel something from it or it has to talk to me in some way. Most of the music I listen to falls into folk, pop, rock, alternative, neo classical, electronic, baroque/chamber categories, but I am very picky about which artists I think are speaking to me. I'm a bit odd, I am an outsider, I don't really fit in anywhere and so I enjoy artists who can mirror those feelings in me. I cannot articulate those feelings through beautiful music, so I turn to the artists that can. That's why I am really into a band like Grandaddy. The music is pretty and melodic and juxtaposes that dichotomy between nature and technology. Jason Lytle has fused his influences, but also managed to create his own musical vocabulary with the sonic landscapes and antiquated compter sounds he creates. When he writes a song about a robot that has become outdated and unused, drinks itself to death, and then finally fizzles and pops. Well, I find that very emotional and when you have the music completmenting that lyrical premise in such a pretty way you are only ever going to find a fan in me. There are lots of quirky and also epic songs, that just pull you right in and you have to become a fan. More people should know about Grandaddy.
