No sense being so cruel, Nirvana - the kid just wants to have a good musical taste.

A thing that I, for example, only possess at some moments.

The other times I just want to let the rule of cool rule. :whistling:

So..

Pop.

I enjoy Clannad. Irish folk-pop-rock-new age band. Basically popularized Irish music. Incredibly tight band, much because every member is related to each other, as far as I've heard.

Then REM.

Though I hear that some people with absolute hearing HATE Michael Stipe because he sings a bit out of tune. It's a good thing I don't have absolute pitch then. :D

And dare I say it...

I enjoy a song now and then by Coldplay. I was a fan at the beginning of their career, now I don't care about a lot of their output, but the last album (even though the hype-aversion gets to a lot of people) was, I think, quite good. It even had some proggy tracks like these ones:

I just so happened to not like pop music.

Sorry :P

Pop is a lot more diverse than the stuff you hear on the radio. Try not to dismiss such a broad category outright. Here's a random sample of some of the stuff I like which you may or may not also like:

Pink Floyd - Us and Them

The Beatles - A Day in the Life (Who can resist that massive orchestral... thing around 1:50!)

Portishead - We Carry On

Autechre - Pen Expers (Not for the faint hearted! Really crazy stuff.)

Aphex Twin - Meltphace 6

Thanks....I think. I'll listen in

EDIT: First song is weird....second is...O.o..on the third, will anyone kill me if I think it's out of tune? :/ no. 4.......uhm........uhh......5 doesn't change enough..6 is actually....kinda pretty, but it, again doesn't change a whole lot. 7, the melody is kinda cool, but the backbeat is so distracting.

One song I'm not allowed to like (I have a reputation to maintain!) but I can't get out of my mind is Vanilla Puff by Nan Quan Mama. Haven't found a good youtube recording yet.

Other songs I like:

YouTube - The Pixies : Where Is My Mind (1988)

YouTube - Nirvana - Polly

YouTube - Beck - E-Pro: Revised Audio Again Version, Closed Captioned

YouTube - TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me

YouTube - Belle & Sebastian -If You're Feeling Sinister-

The Oren Lavie song on page 19

and to conclude, my current absolute favorites:

YouTube - Modest Mouse - Interstate 8

^Meaning pop like "popular", not pop like Britney/Miley-style (which really isn't a real style either since Britney and Miley are quite different...).

Contemporary dance music doesn't fit in the rather restrictive category of art music, in a practical sense.
