Can you convince me to check out your music?

I listen to classic rock and blues almost exclusively. I want to know why you like the stuff you listen to when I think it's crap. Am I missing something? If so, what's so good about Hip Hop, Country, Opera, that junk they dance to in "the club", etc...?

I've only ever heard a good argument by a fan of Trance music and a fan of Classical music. Good luck.

I like the good 'ol stuff from the 80's and before then. The rap and 'hip-hop' is just plain stupid. Most of those artists have no idea what real music is. They don't play an instrument, and they're mainly into the dancing. Real music comes from the heart, and the music industry has lost sight of that. Styx is my favorite, because their music means something. They always have great tempos and themes to their songs. I like Ray Charles, because he actually wrote his own songs.

Classical is definitely the best music there is though. It's proven to help boost concentration and focus, while working and thinking. It's also soothing, and is great to sleep to so, there aren't any distractions will trying to get to sleep and stay asleep. I normally sleep better at night and wake up more rested by listening to classical, than modern day music. Classic rock normally helps me sleep better than hip hop though. The musicians like Beethoven, Mozart, Handel, Stravinsky, and many more really knew what real music was. They had great focus to what mattered in music. Some even included opera. I don't neccesarily like the shrillness of a woman's voice in opera. I prefer the baritone end. I hope I can convince you to listen to Classical. It's a lot easier on the ears, like Classic Rock and the Blues are.

hip-hop and rap have a good beat,easy to dance to -and i guess because alot of people relate to the subjects of the songs

if you really listen to most-good rappers say

kanye west

there's a good message in there it's not crap or fast talking explicits it tells a story and how they feel

try listening to some one like kanye-most of the other rapper like the one hit wonders make a song to get popular using a beat to dance to, usually making up a dance everyone HAS to learn before the next party

hope this helps
while i will admit that ur music is good, i like what i listen to because it explains how i feel and i can just let out all my feelings so that is why i listen to it but as for convincing you i say just give it a chance and change ur radio station for a day and just listen to it then if you still can't understand why people listen to it than go back to ur music because that is what u like and u don't like anything else but no one is going to be able to convince you to listen to it because u just don't like it.
Why would you want to listen to something else. Classic rock and blues are probly some of the best music out there. they also have the best guitarists and solos which a lot of modern bands dont have. Rap and hip hop tend to steal beats from already famous songs. I would just stick to Classic rock anyday.
i listen to people like marilyn manson, nine inch nails, eminem, the cure, gorrilaz, tech9, vnv nation, skinny puppy, ect cuz not only are they prodigies in thier style and sound, they dont lack substance, in other words they accually have something meaningful to say, unlike most of the other music i've heard.
alternative rock is the way to go. since you already life classic rock you odviously have a good taste in music, but then again it IS classic rock, and the artists typically don't come out with good stuff from their prime anymore. so in all fairness its time to pay respect to the new musicians who are pioneering the rock world today, and the most popular form of rock in this mondern day is alternative.

why alternative? it has a great beat to it, not a repetive bas line that most hip hop songs. also the vocal that are usually are associated with alternative rock vary from band to band, unlike country where a lot of the vocals are that low, slow, mono tone males voices that are sometimes pauinful ot listen to. and since you are also a blues fan you may also be interested in the lyrics that are in alternative rock songs. they aren't about sex, drugs, getting drunk, they're about honest feelings aboutreal situations. its almost like poetry only inbeaded in a instrumental "phrase" that can somewhat reflect the oldies only evolved some.

a lot of people who are into trance also havea guilty pleasure for alternative rock, but within alt. rock there are many more sub-genres so you have more of a selection like; punk. pop-punk, post-hardcore, black metal, screamo, psuedo, ect

bands i prefer...
