Not a long topic this.

Music is catagorised into various catagories, right?

Some examples would be:

Rock
Nu-Metal
Pop
R&B
Hip Hop
Soul
Reggae
and so on.

Obviously everyone has their preferences, however, there are those that wont give a band/singer a chance if they appear to be from one catagory but aren't, if they dress a different way to the stereotypical image of the catagory, or if they sing a song from a different catagory to what they normally do.

Why not look past the catagories and just enjoy the music. Judge it by what it sounds like and how it effects you. Don't judge it purely on the basis of a label.

I leave it to you to discuss.

Oh and don't dismiss all rap based on the dire mess that the US is continually FLOODING these shores with under the guise of being 'wonderful, cool, the thing YOU should listen to' ... theres alot of good stuff out there that doesn't get recognition.

Its a shame that the generic stuff is all that you hear about.

I used to hate dance music on principal - I liked heavy metal/rock/whatever at the time and used to snort derision at people who liked Prodigy and the like.

Then one night I was at a party (which, incidentally, was in a field); I was, shall we say, inebriated and rather enjoying the music on the stereo. I asked my mate who it was and he said "It's a Prodigy album ... 'Music For The Jilted Generation'" and I just laughed my ass off - I'd realised how narrow mined I'd been.

Nowadays I like loads of stuff: metal, dance, pop, ambient, trance, rock etc. But I hate rap!

No need. This is what I have been doing for years. If people are so narrow minded that they for example, don't listen to metal because they love Drum and Bass, thats their problem not mine. :)
