I don't understand the attractionSmaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

Not quiteIn my opinion they are good, and being complicated is part of that. I happen to appreciate that sort of thing. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't like it if they were just being technical for the sake of it. Some jazz is like that, and it sounds like a lot of bollocks to me. Marillion, IMO, managed to get the balance right so it was out of the ordinary but still musical.
I don't much like music which has no variation. Remember Edwin Collins' hit of a few years back, "Never met a girl like you before"? It charted quite highly, and everyone raved about it. To me it was crap. It had little in the way of melody, no variation in rhythm and the same fucking chord all the way through.
Each to his own though. Hip hop has a huge following. I'm not part of it. I'm not saying those who are fans are wrong. They're just different from me.

That's more like itI'm with you on Collins and hip-hop, though I tend to like rock/hip-hop cross-overs. I guess they're a modern kind of novelty record.
I have the same problem with the beatles too. Sergeant Pepper = shit
Jazz is weird one. Some I like, some I don't.
