Re: OT: A Music Poll
RCCCL:
I can only answer for myself. I don't dislike all rap/hiphop, but the number of pieces I like is relatively few.
As I see it there are 3 main things that people like about music. The first thing is beat. Almost everyone understands beat, and without it there is no music. The second thing is melody (or harmony), and the third is lyrics.
It's my theory that a listener will find a particular piece of music enjoyable if he likes at least 2 of these 3 qualities in it.
Rap often has little or no melody, and the lyrics may be objectionable or difficult to hear.
