RE: Finding Logic In Mainstream Music

in #music7 years ago

I have never been a fan of hip-hop or rap. The closest I ever got to liking rap was the rap song "Blondie" did, and I can not even remember the name of it. I like a lot of different music, but rap/hip hop was not one of them. Prince, Concrete Blonde, Siouxsie and and Banshees, Morris Day, mazzy Starr, and well yes even Johnny Cash, Ted Williams, and Elton John, and a hundred and fifty or more. From "Dan can you see that big green tree - - to - - You got a fast car and I got a plan - - to - - Jack and Jill went up a hill Jack burned out on booze and pills - - I think that was some of the lines, they words may be off on a couple of them, but Hip Hop nope, I prefered Tracy Chapman, and lots and lots of others. I just did not agree with a lot of the violence associated with and around Rap and hip hop. I hope it has changed.

Rapture, was the song. lol
You listed some great music. I love me some johnny cash. Who doesn't like Prince? Mazzy is a good pick and that song..."fast car" is awesome.
I do agree that it is hard to get in to, but when I was growing up in the 80's it was different, then NWA went mainstream and everything changed. I love the stories, but it's like country music in a way, either you like it or you don't. lol Thanks for the great reply and the awesome music. I want to go listen to fast car now.
