Message: [QUOTE="Parasite_Steve, post: 93512, member: 5378"] I like Tool a lot, I’d go so far to say I even love some of their work but they’re definitely way overrated. I always saw them more in the same category as the Melvins or Soundgarden, rather than traditional prog, which is the way I’ve been enjoying them. They probably have more in common sonically with other LA bands like RATM than with bands like Dream Theater. I’m a musician myself so I try to be as open-minded as possible, but yeah plenty of music is just not my thing. Easiest way to make me bored is a song that only exists to show off players‘ technical abilities with no concern for interesting songwriting or if a song is incredibly boilerplate and low-effort which applies to most music on larger radio stations these days. No matter the genre mind you, modern radio rock is somehow the worst offender. Generic contemporary film music is also nails on the chalkboard for me. It’s cool you all love the same audio plugins, guys, but there’s a world of sound outside the kiddy pool. Remember, not every movie needs to sound like an ad for warthunder. There is music that is "not for me" that I still respect though, a lot of dance music for example or some sub-genres of rap like trap. Not my thing but there’s a lot of creativity in it and it was something new at the time. I may have enjoyed dubstep more as well if it hadn’t become overexposed immediately and then copied to death. On the topic of Pink Floyd: I don’t really like them much either. The 60s and 70s are two of my favorite decades for music, PF is one of my least favorite big acts for both of them. Having said that a lot of bands I like have claimed them as inspiration so I don’t want to dunk on them. I also like melancholic slightly psychedelic bands that tap into Pink Floyd vibes so I guess I like the sounds, just not necessarily the songs or the people making them safe for Syd Barrett.
