There's the BLUES and then theres ben harper and jack johnson. nuff said. thats is all the music u ever need. not country not metal not rap not pop not techno not rock. thats all i gotta say about that!!!
@bigsamable1 Okay, I get what you're saying. Ben Harper is a fantastic musician, playing an real live instrument. But all of the genres you listed still take skill in some capacity. Making good music in -any- genre requires skills and talent. Just because Daft Punk can't shred on the slide-guitar like Ben, doesn't mean they aren't credible artists in their own right - I'd like to see what Ben might go with techno arrangement, honestly - he's an astounding musical talent.
@bigsamable1 pop? pop isn't played by real musicians? what are you talking about? i mean sure there's the manufactured stuff but come on, think before you speak
