Come on now put aside your pot shots. I havent said I liked or disliked the songs at all yet. My points where not about the songs themselves which you are trying to turn it into it was the way in which they came about.
The middle ground as I spoke of is not running away from all new music. Nor is it listening to the same 10 songs over and over again. I would think of a better word to use but middle seems to work just find when its taken in context.
Music is very subjective and the most people you are referring to I am guessing is yourself, the people of CAG, and your like minded friends. If I asked one of your friends I am sure they will be very happy to discuss all the latest new and obscure stuff.
But in that same light if you asked my friends they really couldnt care less about some random band. Not that they run screaming into the night at the very first note of a song they havent heard as you so thoughtfully implied. But they dont go out of their way to listen to any new or old bands. If a song comes on they like, they listen to it, if they dont they simply turn it and look for a song they do like most of which is something they already heard before. But the point is whether its new,old, obscure, pop I and my like minded friends view all music about the same.
- You need to come to grips with the fact that sometimes Harmonix will include popular well known stuff.
I find this statement funny because as a guy who is in the middle ground thats what I would want. A mix of popular and obscure stuff. But thats not what we got did we? Even though I have actually heard and listened to a couple of bands before.
But your post is very common. Musical taste much like religion and politics cant really be discussed without some sort of biased. You clearly are a part of the group that for some reason really dislikes popular music. In the same light (even though there is none on CAG) who really loves popular music and because of that you see everyone else who doesnt share your love for finding obscure bands as a "pop music love child."
Me on the other hand and I have said this before, I dont give a damn about popular or obscure music my post where not even about the songs themselves but for they way they came about in such a shady way and the fact that even if they are free they still are not above criticism.But of course you glossed over that for a very broad generalization and random personal attacks. No wonder you are such a good fit on the political boards. Thanks for that and keep fighting the good fight.
I think you need to come to grips that not everyone cares about music as much as you do. And before you mention it, yes you can play a musical game without actually caring about music. Its about the same has playing COD4 without actually caring to go into the army.
