This exactly the type of stuff I do not like. I find it incredibly boring.
What about a bit of BJ Cole?
Or some Pete Drake?
Or Robert Randolph

If a song is any good it is still good, maybe better, if played on a simple acoustic guitar with vocals. That's the acid test!

Opposite here to most it seems as I will always have vastly more to say about what I don't like than what I do... no matter what the subject... If somethings good it can be left alone to get on with being good but if bad it needs calling out, criticising etc.
On music I particularly hate the "you're a grumpy old man if you don't get it" thing which genuinely makes me very angry.
The people who like crap seem to be people with no knowledge or background in music and who don't play instruments etc!
If it's in the charts (and all my opinions on music here are based on chart music) then it's complete shite basically as it will be designed to be dance able, have no real instruments on it, have a bum tisch bum tisch moronically-obvious-in-yer-face-a-tree-sloth-couldn't-lose-the-beat back beat, have the no doubt out of tune vocals processed by auto tune so it becomes an effect and isn't really even a human voice anymore... everythings "wave yer arms in the air like you just don't care", shiny happy people, sub moronic, dumbed down, production line rubbish.

Sorry, no. If a song or piece of music makes one person happy, makes them sing along or want to get up and dance to it then it's good.
My objection to grumpy old men whinging about music they don’t like is not that they don’t get it, but that they should shut up whinging and get on with enjoying what they like, while having the decency to respect that others’ choices are others’ choices and nothing to do with them.

Why not? The California Guitar Trio make a damned good stab at it.Would you apply that test to say, the last movement of Beethoven's 9th symphony?
