You're to blame, George Harrison!

[Condem]

Could there possibly be a more irritating genre than Indian music? What in the name of Vishna were you thinking, Georgie boy?

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Dude, you're not even close. Try modern merengue or salsa if you want irritating abomination music.

[Condem]

2. Yeah, but you can dance to that, Rabrrrrr.

Try and shuffle your feet to the sitar.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Not without wanting to kill yourself for lack of anything musical happening, you can't.

Sitar music is more danceable. Ragas are complex, wonderful, mesmerizing musical events; for more interesting, and for more danceable.

[Bake]

5. I love a good lemon merengue pie!

Don't you?

Bake

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. You're thinking meringue

[Bake]

7. Mmmmmm ... meringue!

:hi:

DUPE

4. I like the Bollywood musical numbers but I understand where you are coming from.

Still Harrison isn't responsible for Rap music so he is in the clear.

I blame Deborah Harry.

9. Wow. Blondie

No way they belong in the R&R Hall. No way. Far more deserving bands.

[skygazer]

8. Polka music

I rest my case.

[Condem]

11. You seriously underestimate the talents of Mitch Miller, skygazer

I think there's a vid of Pennsylvania Polka out there somewhere. That'll change your tune.

[SoxFan]

10. Chinese opera

[Doc_Technical]

33. Pink Floyd- Dark side of the Revolution.

Red Detachment of Women gets the
Pink Floyd treatment.

12. While my Sitar Gently Weeps.

[Fire Walk With Me]

13. Ay, Macarena.

Need I say more?

[Orsino]

14. Achey-Breaky.

I win.

[Strong Atheist]

15. Country. Whiny, twangy, macho, annoying. nt.

[no name no slogan]

20. Patsy Cline would beg to differ.

So would Emmylou Harris.

Not to mention Neko Case.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

22. Strong, I agree with you!!

Most country is BAAAAD stuff and fucking depressing.

However, I like:Dolly Parton & Willie Nelson. They don't whine. I can't stand that phony choking that most country singers do. Like they are supposed to sound like they have genuine emotions.

If they had good vocal technique, they would be able to convey emotion without being whiny, nasal and annoying.

SO THERE!!!

[Strong Atheist]

25. Those two people seem like good people. About the only country

song that I really like is "Wind Beneath My Wings" sung by Gary Morris...

[happyiowan]

16. Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna.

[tigereye]

17. but, but, but... bhangra!

:woohoo:


this one is a bit more upbeat - it may be the remixes that I really like... the fast and booming drums...

[no name no slogan]

18. Yes, a white English guy invented Indian music

I'm quite certain Ravi Shankar didn't have fuck-all to do with it, right? :crazy:

[Condem]

21. C'mon, no name. Be serious

If not for Harrison, it would be where it belongs. In fucking Bollywood movies.

[carlyhippy]

19. nooo.....George Harrison is one of my favorite beatles

Carly

[mitchum]

23. I thought you meant naive Westerners falling for the "exoticism" of Eastern religions

I like ragas fine, but you can keep that Hare Krishna horseshit

[Condem]

28. You deserve a fucking heart for that, mitchum.

Classic!

[mitchum]

31. Why...thank you!

And I mean that :)

[Condem]

32. My pleasure.

Well done, sir.

26. I love his raga-rock

But I would. In fact, I'm listening to Bangladesh as I type. Dana ; )

[catzies]

27. George changed the world by bringing Eastern music to the West's attention

Sorry you don't like it though.

[Condem]

29. No need to be sorry, catzies

Just my opinion. I listen to The Spa on Sirius/XM and, believe me, I get my fill. It just pushed me over the Jimmy Cliff, today.

[catzies]

35. S'okay. As the great philosophers Big Boi and Andre 3000 said,

Whatever floats your boat, or finds your lost remote.

:hi: (I've been known to listen to The Chill, too)

[Condem]

40. Thanks, catzies.

Have a heart.

[catzies]

41. Aw, shucks!! *blushes*

:loveya:

[Taverner]

30. Give me Ravi Shankar on this Sitar any day over Lee Greenwood, Toby Keith or Yanni

Evil knows no genre

[Condem]

34. Didn't Yanni's wife leave him for Peter Lemongello, Tavener?

Or was it the other way around? I remember reading something about that in the Pan Flute Times.

[Taverner]

36. Not sure, all I know is that all three of those men suck Satan's cock

Along with most of the GOP

[mitchum]

37. I think Yanni was smacking around then-girlfriend Linda Evans at one time

Dude, that still won't make you talented like Miles Davis or Ike Turner

[Condem]

38. No argument here, fellers.

[MissMillie]

39. George is the best Beatle

42. SHUT UP!
