Over the last few years, I've changed my opinion in regards to non-metal music considerably. I used to think that all non-metal was utter garbage. Now, I realize that there is some brilliant non-metal music out there, but I still don't enjoy listening to most of it. For example, I think The Beatles were an amazing, creative, ingenious band of musicians, but I still don't like their music. It just isn't enjoyable to listen to, for me. There are tons of great jazz bands with immense talent, but I don't enjoy listening to them. Does anyone else respect music that they don't like?
Conversely, I recognize that some of the bands I listen to are really not that talented, but I still enjoy their music. For example, Lefay. I love many of their CDs (I'm grouping Morgana Lefay into this statement), but I don't think that they are extremely talented musicians. Powermad are another good example. Also power metal, even though it isn't my favorite. Most of it is horribly repetitive and boring, yet sometimes I find myself quite enjoying it. Does anyone else like music they don't respect?
Am I making any sense?
