Is melody anything worth in modern art music?

In all honesty, this particular thread, as many at this wonderful site, has reduced itself to pointless argumentation of the elitists trying to educate the actually learned... while the people that actually know something are "smart" and stay out of the kitchen when the fire sets off. Right now, the last nine pages have been a collection of idealistic opinions that add up to NOTHING.

Melody is all about perception, we have discovered, and since we cannot even agree on a singular definition, the conversation is futile. I suggest staying out of it...

As to the people purposefully trying to argue it out... continue. :whistling:

Feeling superior, aren't we?

Honestly, why bump the thread to say "It's crap, people discussing in it are crap, stay out of it." Was this really necessary?

Three meaningless/ad hominem posts in a row -- thread dead and locked. Edrama is lamer than normal drama.

PM me if anyone wants to add something to this thread that's useful.
