go with what you like, thats what music is for, what moves you.

Just because its more difficult doesnt make it better.

Hell that wwiiol fm used to be uber difficult.

A song that only has 3 chords doesn't automatically make it a "simple" tune. For example, go take a look at Jerry Reed's "The Claw." It's technical, engaging and amazing to listen to.

And I think I have some kind of idea on what I'm talking about since I make my living as a guitar player in Nashville.

Beastie Boys should not be considered as rap artist either, they started out as a punk rock band and slowly infused rap as well as techno,funk,ska,reggae. While both bands may have some rap elements neither are "rap"

While your first statement has some validity, I believe that Zach De LaRocha, brought a lyrical style to his music that resembled rap more than rock. The Guitar of Tom Morello, could be called a Stringed Turntable the way he jammed on it.

But, the Beastie Boys.

Every Album the beastie boys have released has been an experiment. But I would say the Beastie's have and always be a rap venue.

The Beastie Boys revolutionized Rap music and its genre in the 80's. And RATM did it in the 90's.

But then again, you prabably don't know what it is.

In terms of creativity and originality musically and lyrics Country music by enlarge is quite dreadful. There were some good Country musicians, no doubt, but anyone here could qualify as one as well, all you need to know is C chord, F chord and G-9 chord, that and sappy lyrics about how you can't get any p...y, you're all set. Instant star !!!

If you are so knowledgeable about music, you would know there are many talented musicians in country music. Alot more instruments are used in country music than you think. Steel guitars, fiddles, I could go on. C chord, F-Chord?, sounds like a rock band to me.

I have never heard a rap thing clear through... I have had to threaten people with violence in order to do so. There has never been anything worse that has been passed off as music.

Black kids pretending to be ghetto and white kids pretending to be hip. Gawd are they all gonna be embarrassed in about 20 years.

its a little short sighted to dismiss all music in a genre as moribund because you don't like it (i guess many (old) people dismissed rock in the 50/60s)

Having said that, doesn't classical music suck bellybutton

No wonder no one makes it anymore

Rap is more creative in pure techique sense, however, as mietla pointed out, it isn't above farting.

lol... either your a complete troll AND liar... OR, you took one too many hits of acid back at "band camp"...err "music school".

I like some of RATM and all, but I think you overstate their influence.

First, who gives a Rat's Arse what the Dixie Chicks think or say? Second, I hate to say this but Rock and Roll is just hanging around on life support, and the outlook is grim. The current "Rock" groups are just touring playing all their old songs. There is no new Rock out there. The current songs by Evanescence and Matchbox 20 hardly qualify as rock, ditto for Justin Timberlake, Jewel, Madonna, Brittany Spears,ect.
What is played on the majority of radio now is Hip-Hop and Rap.
Country music is no longer country either. It's now what we heard as Top 40 or Adult Contemporary back in the 70's (i.e. Shania Twain), with a very few exceptions such as George Strait. But, given the choice, I will listen to a Country station before a "Hot Hits" station every time. At least I can understand most of the lyrics.
Now comes the scary part...what will we be listening to in 10-15 years when the current generation of teens become parents and ask "What is that crap they are playing on the radio?"

I don't care what people say, Rock n Roll has gone away.

Yeah... but the Donna's aren't really new. There just rapidly becoming the flavor of the week.

Still... I think they're cool as hell.
