I second that. I'm 42 and still love Devo, Emerson Lake & Palmer, ABBA, Kitaro (new age), Passport (jazzrock), Frank Zappa, just as much as Lionel Richie and other cheezy stuff. Do not care about genres as long as the music is good!ross g wrote: i'm 41, i'll go for neil diamond,abba, crass, p16d4,coltrane, neubauten,ramones,can,zepplin, faust,stones,devo,kraftwerk, electro fuckin house feedback, whatever, just something GOOD...jeez my 74 year old dad is more open minded
If you'd listen to smooth *aw* jazz radio for a while, you might find one or the other good tune. Might happen. You've been warned.

Your playlists must be fun...I don't think I could put up with hearing Dancing Queen right after playing How does it Feel (to be the mother of 1000 dead?)

I truly have no beef with people who dislike certain genres of music. (I for one have never understood U.S. country music, but then again I do tap my toes to a few cowboy songs on rare occassions)
That being said, I do find it highly irritating that someone like Ian would be naïve or uneducated to lump all forms of electronic music into one category, for which he then has the gall to describe as "ear candy" for young punks like myself.
Futhermore, do not act as though "young people" have more time to create this kind of music because we live a life of luxury, and "adults artists" have to work for a living. My hat is off to you for assuming that all of us younger artists sit around at home all day long composing music, and don't have real jobs. I work in sales and put in more hours than most people, and I always thank my lucky stars when I can actually have a full 8 hours to write...Are you absolutely and totally bollox-ing mad??
If you want to have more instances of Smooth Jazz and New Age available on the Web, I have an old, dusty set of Kenny G, Enya and Yanni tapes I would love to sell to you, and maybe then you can make all of those "adults" out there in La La Land happy by launching your own Web radio station. Maybe then you and your "listener" (notice the singular form of the word) can enjoy "adult oriented music".
How can you possibly be "open-minded" if you have thuroughly listened to every single sub-genre of electronic music, and can honestly dismiss every piece of it as "ear candy"? What about Wendy Carlos, Vangelis or Jarre?? These electronic wizards were creating wonderful music long before the dawn of cookie-cutter loops and MIDI.
Do not think for one minute that you are a "more mature listener". I can promise you that I have listened to more music, more genres and more artists from around this little blue orb of ours in the shorter amount of time I have been on this planet.
If I actually bothered to sit down and write out a list of all of the music that I truly felt was inspiring and relevant, or that people like yourself should give a listen to so that maybe you could be more enlightened, you would perish before the last record stopped playing.
Additionally, I can guarantee you that my influences and inspiration for electronic music you call "ear candy" are nothing less than highly intellectual. Ever heard of Mozart, Debussy, Rimsky-Korsakov? How about Miles Davis, Bill Evans or Oscar Peterson??
Everyone on this forum is allowed to listen and enjoy whatever type of music they want, yes even Yanni. But do not think for two seconds that your opinion is any more or less mature than the next bloke. Remember, music enhances everyone's lives and it would be sophomoric to believe that one genre is better than another.
Cheers.

as it is 1 1/2 day ago that Ian Stone last replied to this thread, I think you guys are wasting your time defending electronic music. Hey who knows, he might even be taking the micky.
