I have no problem with music these days. Sure, I don't like some of it, but it's not shit.

Hey hey now, I some people legitemately despise pop and a great deal of modern music. Personally I can't stand most pop music, besides lady gaga for some reason that I'm not really aware of :) Its really just the mainstream stuff that is the worst offender, namely mainstream rap music, but the one type of music that has essentially no redeeming quality for me is Country

I do have a wider music palette, but this gives me a warm feeling in my heart every time I play it.

maybe i'll add another one later from a different genre, mabe neo-classical or melodic, but I really have a place in my heart for that song.

I'll take issue on this statement - I personally dislike The Killers and Coldplay, so I won't mention them, but Rammstein was a good band, but it you listen to how shitty, meaningless, and over-produced their music has become you would agree with me saying that Rammstein today is bullshit.

Furthermore, you must understand that music is all perception. Remember how they used to think rock and roll was the devil's music and was stupid, pointless, etc? Well...a lot of people think the same thing about Lady Gaga. The point is that music is a reflection of people's sentiments and tastes, and thus so is popular music. I don't like it personally - you probably don't either. But we must come to terms with the fact that tastes always change. The only thing that stays constant is an understanding among people what constitutes music and what does not. We still enjoy classical music, and we still love bands like Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and countless other acts that performed miracles with their instruments of choice.

However, there is music being made today that can fit almost any taste. A lot of good music is being produced independently, and a lot of great bands are merging styles that were once thought incompatible. If you'd like a list of some great, obscure modern bands, send me a telegram, and I'd be happy to compile one for you.

Pardon the length of the reply. ;P

Leadership does not mean domination. The world is always well supplied with people who wish to rule and dominate others. The true leader is of a different sort: he seeks effective activity, which has a truly beneficent purpose. He inspires others to follow in his wake, and holding aloft the torch of wisdom, leads the way for society to realize its genuinely great aspirations.

I strongly disagree. I listen to some underground subculture 'crazy stuff' that is glorious examples of 'actual music'. Just because it's not to your taste, or breaks boundaries and sets new standards doesn't make it not music. Heck, the entire history of music is based on people improving, making their own styles, and generally advancing the common conception of what 'music' is considered.
