say whatever you want, that other stuff still sounds like shit imho. i agree with stu. the reason i don't like rap is the music. the lyrics i don't care about but the 3-note piece of music that rotates in the background gets on my nerves since music is just as important to me as the lyrics. as for country, what's the point in singing in that disturbing texan accent *shudder*. and pop pretty much explains itself, synthesized music with cheesy lyrics over it... no thanks. trance/dance/techno/electronic music i can stand. i may even like it a bit in fact, same with classical music, i have nothing but respect for it for being able to stand the test of time. i also think that blues is intresting and i love the combination of funk and rock.
