Bobthedog Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) [quote name='GisserD' timestamp='1440686955' post='2852980'] no funk? [/quote] As a jazz fan, I am one of the broader minded people. Of course their is no funk, I mean for Heavens sake, there is no place for that sort of music in a serious survey. :-) Edited August 27, 2015 by Bobthedog Quote
Vinny Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 If being a jazz an makes you open-minded, what does it mean if I like a lot of the other stuff while being comfortably perched in the 'stick that smug tuneless twaddle up yer pipe' category? Quote
yorks5stringer Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 [quote name='Maude' timestamp='1440695073' post='2853088'] If a range of bum gripper guitar stands were made, could the Hercules mechanical lever action be utilised to clench the cheeks as your bass neck nuzzled in there? [/quote] Could a line be done with detachable legs...? Quote
JoeEvans Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I like jazz, but not most of the other genres listed, which seems to present something of a paradox... Quote
Grangur Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 No Korean music? Discrete will be disappointed. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QMWUYMWlEyo Quote
FinnDave Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Why no funky psychedelic blues rock? Can it be such a narrow-minded field that we are the only practicioners? Quote

This is Korean music, which hopefully will keep Discrete happy. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMtb6kDvFT8[/media] Edited August 27, 2015 by Annoying Twit Quote
paul_5 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I'm VERY narrow-minded, and everyone is an arse! Quote
cameltoe Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 [quote name='HowieBass' timestamp='1440694303' post='2853079'] Is it too early to mention Nicki Minaj? [/quote] It's never too early for that. She featured as the answer to 'who would you most like to spend one night with?' in a boyfriend/girlfriend quiz on my now-wife's hen night. Needless to say, lead balloon. Quote
Lord Sausage Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I think all forms of music are sh*t! Quote

leschirons Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 [quote name='yorks5stringer' timestamp='1440687264' post='2852989'] So where would Placebo fit into their research? [/quote] Nowhere, they're not really a band. You only think they are Quote

Nicko Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I'm very broad minded. I like and listen to all types of music. I really can't get on with Jazz and C&W but these days there's crossover stuff based on these genres that at least listenable. Strangely I kind of progressed from Rock, down the list through rap and pop before moving back up it. I mainly buy Indie stuff but listen to other stuff regularly. Quote

xgsjx Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I did a post on here a couple of months back asking people if they had a broad or narrow taste in music. the majority said that they wouldn't actively listen to more than one or two genres. & that's bassists! Me, I can happily say that I'll listen to every genre on that list & some of the ones not mentioned too. Quote
Bilbo Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I always think that this is a loaded question. I prefer Jazz (I know that comes as a surprise to many of you) and would only ever buy Jazz or pay to watch Jazz or even (mostly) accept gigs playing Jazz. On the face of it, I look narrow-minded. The truth is that I would be perfectly willing to listen to good examples of most other genres if I was locked in a lift or sat in someone elses house but, if I have a choice, based in the finite time I have for listening and playing and the finite budget I have for music related products, I would, in most instances, [i]prioritise[/i] Jazz. I downloaded The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway last month!! Quote
Bilbo Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 And as for Vanessa Feltz, my seven string bass can lie on the floor. Quote
