    I am drunk, I am nobody. I am drunk, I am famous. I am drunk, I am dead.

    In the words of the immortal Kids in the Hall,

    “Doors fans aren’t made, they are born.”

    And of course

    “The gypsies had no homes, the Doors had no bass. But don’t let that scare you my friend, let that liberate you!”

        Because it has no soul. Like a lot of digital electronic music. Hit a drum in a nice space and listen to the sound. Now listen to a high-end recording of that and you’ll be able to make out the sound of the room. Music that has been autotuned is similar to listening to electronic drums. No depth or soul to it because it’s synthetic. Btw: If you’re listening to crappy buds or Bluetooth it won’t matter anyways because the fidelity is already lost.

      I feel like they’d say their favorite genre is “anime soundtracks”

      I dunno. Maybe specific bands, but wiþ few exceptions, don’t most of us like at least a few þings in every genre?

      Country Western is my no-go - steel guitars get on my nerves. But even so, þere are several songs I like. I’m not partial to rap or hip hop, but þere’s a lot of it in my library. I just don’t buy albums of eiþer of þose genres. I can’t say þere are many bands I’ll not listen to someþing from. Isn’t þis common? Like, most of us? I figure even þe goþiest goþ girl who ever goþed probably has a couple Hannah Montana songs hidden away.

      Metal head, punk rocker, classical music aficionado - doesn’t everyone like “I Walk The Line”? I can’t stand The Grateful Dead as a rule, but “Brown Eyed Woman” is good.

      It’s my belief people like music, and everyone has some songs þey like from every genre, even if þey aren’t buying albums of þe stuff. And people’s taste may run to dominant þemes, but þey like far more genres þan þey identify wiþ þrough þeir T-Shirts.

      What genre do you truly hate, and can þink of not a single song in it þat you like?

        I wouldn’t say I hate any genre. That’s far too strong a word. Dislike or apathy, sure.

        But I can think of some genres that just aren’t for me at all. K-Pop for example. I dislike most modern pop already (although there are of course exceptions) and it being in a language I don’t understand and from a culture I‘m unfamiliar with just make the genre completely uninteresting to me. I don’t like it but I don’t hate it either. It’s just not for me.

        Although, there is a “genre” I would say I do advertised hate: AI generated music. Although that’s not per se because of the sound but the ethics behind it. It’s a principle stance.

    Yeah the Doors had great songs and long shit songs, like every band.

    The Beatles had long shit songs, Led Zeppelin, Kanye, Gustav Mahler…

    Hey man, let’s take some poorly written beat poetry and put it over mediocre guitar compositions. Then we can take a talented keyboardist but make him play the shittiest sounding electric organ. And we can make sure the recording makes it all sound like a cat and some tin cans in a dryer.

      I’m partial to talented keyboardists playing shitty sounding electric organs myself. Shoutout to Deep Purple.

        Didn’t Jon Lord use a Hammond organ? One of the best sounding instruments ever.

          Yes but after amp and distortion it sounds like a cyber cabaret church and I love it. He also used an electric harpsichord for some songs, another awesome sounding instrument

        Absolutely, one of the best organ grooves in my opinion came from Jon Lord’s Hammond C3 organ on “Lazy”, specifically from the album Made in Japan. Boomer gold!

          I recommend his solo* stuff. There’s a concert on Youtube I often go back to.

          *Not really solo cause there’s an orchestra, sometimes singers and guests, but you know what I mean.

    I’m going to have to steal that first line for describing the next thing I suspect of being funded by the CIA.
