I like Tom Petty's music. And I can't believe DogtorEvil hasn't posted anything about Lynyrd Skynyrd's contribution to that era of music.
I like The Eagles, and especially their The Long Run album. But, "I can't tell you why...."
Count me in for being insulted by Hip Hop, but it isn't music. BTW, how could anybody not be insulted by it since the N word is used in more "recordings" than not?
How much hip hop do you listen to? Not that you are the target audience for most artists in that genre. Words are just a means of communicating to me and I don’t really get offended by them. Sometimes they are poorly chosen.
Have you ever talked to a black person about offensive and nonoffensive ways the N word is used? That conversation may be enlightening.
No magic offensive words for me.
I guess one way to tell whether something is artistic is to see if your conservative friends get it. If they don’t, it might be artistic.
“Artistic” is actually a pretty low threshold, it is just that the Eagles don’t meet it.
It is art to paint your wall Builder’s Beige? That is essentially what the Eagles did with music. Boring.
