I'm tempted to use it again after that statement. Stern Smile

Please no, this avatar is much more friendly

No pokemon stuff here!

Compare the genius of Durarara to that joke of a kid's cartoon (again) and you will pay. Stern Smile

Thanks everyone. I am certainly open-minded. I have even attempted to 'get into' country and rap music, although they almost entirely seem to offer little if any redeeming value. I think they closest thing to country I like would be some of Steve Howe's guitar pieces.

And I think it is almost a talent some of the 'rhymes' certain rappers think up... especially when they attempt to do so with words that don't rhyme at all. I often wonder what goes through a rapper's head as they construct their usually ridiculous lyrics. What do early drafts of rap lyrics look like? I shudder to think.

But anyway, yeah I'm open-minded.

Folk is better than country anyway. Tongue

But definitely check out Zeuhl and RIO/Avant if you haven't, many treasures await. Smile

You're one to talk, forcing the most inaccessible recommendations possible to newbies. LOL

Although to be fair, it worked with me.

Welcome to the site! Since you're open-minded, I suggest checking out some stuff from RIO/Avant - definitely worth a listen (and I swear I'm not saying it just because I'm on the genre team) and it can definitely require an open mind sometimes, but at least for me it's some of the most rewarding listening there is.

Well aren't you on the genre team because it's definitely worth a listen? Wink

I'm on the genre team because it was decided by the people in charge that I apparently knew some stuff about RIO/Avant/Zeuhl. LOL

Never mind. Yes, he's just saying it for power.

Don't listen to him, he's just saying that because he's on the genre team. Tongue
