Arguments against Jazz
September 1, 2019 at 10:36 pm
Just like Johnny, The Valkyrie hates jazz.
Here is the place to put your arguments for and against jazz.
But let’s not limit it to jazz. Feel free to include any music genre that you hate.
I suppose we can also include hip-hop /©rap and the likes, but I don’t consider it to be “music”.

I'm a bit of an all rounder.
It's probably easiest to just breakdown my cd collection (yes, I'm that old!)
50% heavy/metal
30% 60's / 70's rock (eg: CSNY, Alan Parsons, Mike Oldfield, etc)
10% classical
10% Modern Jazz
no fucking ABBA anywhere in sight! lol.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Don't like Jazz?
That's like saying you like banana cake but you don't like bananas, banana cake being rock and roll.
Don't like hip hop/rap?
That's because you're too old, sitting at home in a rocking chair on a Saturday night with a cat on your knee, listening to classic 80's FM, drinking a cup of Earl Grey. :-)

Rap = a rhyming dictionary played through a popcorn popper.
Rap music = an oxymoron.

What? Valkyrie you don't like this?
You know you might be right. It sounds like shit.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

As long as people remember Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong and Django Reinhart, there can BE no arguments against jazz.

Well this is a comedy subforum after all...
But in all seriousnes when it comes to jazz it did have period when it was good and there are handfull of musicians that are worth listening, but anything pass that time, and especially today, sounds silly at best, but usually very boring.
