Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

It makes me giggle when people say a band are naff or not good. Being musically challenged as I am, I always think music is 100% subjective; each to their own. Am I wrong? Can music be bad or is it really just a taste thing? I often wonder if bands don't get liked, because a; it's not cool to be seen to like that particular artist, or b; it's cool to not like anything considered "mainstream".


This from a man who puts Kylie and Prince very high on his lists of musical likes

 

I do like Coldplay, I find their albums a little hit and miss unfortunately. One thing I will say is that they were absolutely fantastic live.

 

See Clarke is out of the Game against England tomorrow , really hope we are up for this !

 

I think you are 100% right. When talking about bands/artists I tend to stick to the subjective comments about whether I like a band or not and why rather than making a statement like "Band A are ****".

 

Completely agree , taste in music is just like taste in food , clothing etc . Each to their own .

 

If there is an English sportsman who is not up for playing the Aussies there is something seriously wrong with them!

 

It's absolutely a taste thing, but it's much easier to say "they're crap" than "they're not to my taste" or "I personally don't like them very much". Objective wording of a subjective message - exactly the same as when someone says a band/TV show/anything is good!

 

True .

Have you heard this ? Apologies if you have .

No, I'll give it a listen, cheers.

 

Raining in Canada for FP1 right now. I do like the Canadian GP when it rains...

 

Canadian GP is always exciting , I agree even more so when it rains .

 

Agree with this..but tastes do change with age,20 years ago I only ever listened to radio1 , now never in a million years would I put radio1 on it's heart fm or CDs for me now.
For the record I like Coldplay and also agree they were really good live.
In the car at the moment I have Fleetwood macs greatest hits and dark side of he moon in the player.

 

Yay Level 25 on Skyrim

 

Dark side of the moon , there is an album I have tried several time to like , but I just don't " Get It " ...........

 

Bayern Munich have already sold out all but one of their home games next season.

 

Which console?

 

Are your tastes really changing though or is it the radio stations that are changing? I mean, I think the stuff that would have been played 20 years ago on Radio 1 is now what's played on the likes of Heart FM. The music on Radio 1 wasn't played at all 20 years ago because they're too afraid to play anything older than a few years old.
Jack FM is the one for me

 

One exception: John Cage's "4'33" is objectively bad music. It's bad music in the same way an apple is bad music, or a cat is a bad horse.

 

Oh yeah, always love it. But that race in 2011....my god it was incredible.
