I like music that has had some thought put into it by the songwriters.

There is nothing wrong with electronic elements in music but anyone can sit at a computer and create a drumbeat and bbehind line with the right software.
Do you mean that in electronic music the songwriters don't think what they do?
(...well some might not, but... :whistle: )


Anyway, why don't you try yourself how easy it is to create music yourself? The software won't do the music, the guy behind the screen does. [/b][/quote]
On the contrary, the software can do the music and I spend a lot of time doing it. I can create a backing track in half an hour without even touching a musical instrument.

On the subject of electronic music, I generalised a little too much. Of course, there is a lot of excellent electronic music out there made by people who do things I could never dream of doing. But there is also a lot, mostly on the pop scene, that uses very basic chord sequences and very simple sequencing techniques that, with a few good-looking girls (who probably didn't sing on the recording) on the CD sleeve, sells big numbers of records. That is what I was referring to.

Personally, I still prefer the sound of live instruments (it's my job, if I didn't I'd be out of work) but I've no objection to electronic music as long as it has some intellectually 'musical' content and is not just mass produced near-identical songs.
