Dude, I'm not trying to attack you. Don't make this personal. I'm just using what you said as an example, because if I cited all of the times that somebody said "rap sucks" (or something to that effect [not saying that you said that directly]) on the TFP, it would take people hours to load the page.
Personally, I think I'd enjoy a song written for 20 oboes. Now, mind you what is music and what is pleasing to onesself are two different things. I might not like a certain song composed for 20 oboes, but that doesn't mean that it's not music. It just means that I don't find it to stimulate a feeling in me that fits the feelings I like to have. Each person has their own set of preferred feelings, and when a song triggers one or a multitude of those feelings, the listener finds pleasure in the song.
