I wasn't talking about you directly... sorry if that's what it seemed like. It just seems that there's a high amount of dismissing certain genres as not music going on on the TFP. I am taking a stand to protect these genres, as well as promote the widening of people's musical tastes to include the endlessness that is music.
Now, to your first post, I will say this. You mentioned in the other thread something along the lines of "a song composed for 20 oboes would be ignoring timbre." I would assume that almost everybody here likes Metallica, or at least consider it to follow the "norm." Now, there is a certain popular song by Metallica where *gasp* there are only 2 guitars that have the same timbre playing for the bulk of the song (Master of Puppets). However, this is considered completely enjoyable and interesting. Or how about a saxophone quartet? Or a solo? Not trying to flame, just trying to get you to think, to redefine your limits a bit, if not get rid of them.

Absolutely not. I get very involved with music, as it is my life (or at least my future profession) pretty much, so I may go a bit over the top about it from time to time. I refer you to my purposes that I just gave above. I am really sincere about trying to help people to discover the whole diverse world that is music.
