I'm finding your lack of tolerance of differing musical tastes quite upsetting.
And PD has got quite good taste in some areas.

Thanks Tangles.
Funny how a man with possibly the most conservative tastes on here is such an expert on popular music.

Kelly Clarkson lols.

No, it was a kelly clarkson joke
maybe if you had slightly more diverse tastes you would get that.

Al, I know who Kelly Clarkson is, my 12 year old niece likes her, as well as Twilight shit. She loves that kind of childish shit, what with being a child and all.
What I was doing there was acknowledging your love of cheesy rock music like Rainbow. I was adding another layer to the pun, and also illustrating how conservative your tastes are. And I have played SingStar, so am acquainted with the modern masterpiece which is Kelly Clarkson's song. How diverse am I? MEGA!

I shouldn't really have to explain such things to a maverick QOTWer like you.

How does that illustrate a conservative taste in music?

(Bazongaloid, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 16:02, Reply)

Well, if having the same teenybopper taste in music as a 12 year old girl is cutting-edge and wide ranging, then it's fine.
If not, then you are either: a tedious prick who likes American Idol winning, lowest common denominator shit; or a grooming paedo.

And having a fixation on rock music performed by middle class white men in a homoerotic manner is quite conservative too.

I really can't be sure here.

The grooming ones are probably a bit better than the kidnapping ones
At least the kids get to feel good about themselves for a while first.

Wait a second, you're saying that in order for your taste not to be conservative
that the only things you are allowed to like are things that nobody else likes.

Is that really what you think? Only I thought I'd better give you the chance to backtrack here if you want because the conclusion I've drawn above is entirely consistent with what you said in the post above.

No Al, of course not.
What I personally define as 'conservative' tastes is ones which are limited to only a few genres, and within those genres, liking the most popular/ most well known artists.

Also connected to this is the outright dismissal of entire genres due to stereotyped views, such as 'all house/techno sounds the same', 'all heavy metal is devil worshipping angsty shit', 'rap music is just black guys mumbling about guns and bitches' and stuff like that.

I want to make it clear here, this is not aimed at you, it's my definition of conservative tastes in music, which is what you asked me to do.

I, personally, don't like reggae. This isn't of itself a conservative view, I just don't get on with it as a genre. I don't generalise about it, or cast aspersions in its direction. I like some 70s stuff, like Led Zep, Sabbath and Marvin Gaye, but I don't believe it's inherently inferior or superior to hip hop, electronica, hardcore, stoner metal or anything else. I will open my ears and give just about anything a listen.

Except reggae.

No, you've gone and contradicted yourself there dozy
you're already on record as saying that hip-hop is the greatest and most important genre of all time ever, so you can't now suddenly say that you consider it equal to all other musical genres.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 16:20, Reply)

No Al, I said it was the most important since Jazz or something.
And I meant in terms of how it reconfigured what music was and how it was made. That is absolutely not the same as believing it to be superior to other genres. There are loads of electronica acts which do similar things with form and construction of music, and loads of post-rock bands who do that too. But hip hop has had an indelible impact on western culture.

And I also believe that hip hop is analogous to punk in how it did that, being pretty much a DIY genre which came up from clubs and rewrote the rules of the time. Hip hop is mainly embedded in the mainstream now, just as jazz is the preserve of a very different group of people than when it started out.

I love hardcore just as much as hip hop; and country just as much as house. They are all culturally important in their own ways, and none is superior to any others.

What exactly do you get out of being such a prick online anyway? And re. your dad, if he has indeed just died, then my sympathies to you and your family.

Also,
From your description above, I am most definitely not conservative in my musical tastes. But don't let that stop you being wrong.
(Bazongaloid, Mon 2 Jul 2012, 16:21, Reply)

Al
You have gone on record with the hip hop stereotype.

Can you stop being a prick now please so I can put you back on lolignore?

thanks.

I'd admit to owning a number of public enemy albums
only I'm scared that due to your retarded definition of conservative, that you would classify me as only liking the most popular bands.
