I have to laugh at our dialogue. All this started because I quite bluntly stated my preference for the Andy Williams version of "Can't Get Used to Losing You" 7 months ago and you picked up on it recently because you didn't like it. Seriously, drop the subject already, man.

@uktransplantedyank I said nothing about bangwagon'ing. If you actually looked at my profile and the music I upload you'll see i'm no sheep or have anything to do with bandwagon. I don't follow 'popular' music. That's why I like House, Garage and other more 'underground' genres etc, because it isn't hugely popular and will therefore keep its credibility and never have to conform to a certain style of sound or have to appeal to a commercial market.

Funny, you spent a lot of time attempting to berate me for my opinion. To be honest, I'm not bothered about your opinion either, majority or minority (neither matters, really). If you have to validate your opinion by using the bandwagon fallacy, then that's not my problem. I don't base my opinion on whether it's popular - I have different criteria.

@uktransplantedyank You don't have to prove anything to me, if thats all it is -your opinion- then it doesnt matter. And an opinion in the minority too, so I really am not too bothered about it.

I've experienced enough "Garage" to know that I don't like the genre. So what I mentioned "obvious influences"? I like them better than this stuff. I don't have to prove a single thing to you - I was giving you my honest opinion, which you obviously can't handle.

So garage is an offshoot of house, eh? Good for garage - I still don't like it. Get used to it.

[djdiscomikki]

@uktransplantedyank How you know anything of my intelligence is beyond me. You know nothing about me lol. You obviously haven't experienced much if you think Garage is Pop. And good for you, you just named 3 of the most obvious pioneers in electronic music. I suppose you believe you've proven your taste in electronic music to be more grown up and a little more 'serious' now that you've these painfully obvious names lol. Garage is an offshot of house, therefore, it isn't plodding, its groovy!

@djdiscomikki

Not quite, but I certainly underestimated your intelligence - my mistake.

That said, I'm not saying all electronic beats are pop, just that what I've experienced of garage is pop, this bad cover of a classic Andy Williams tune included. If I listen to electronica, I prefer Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre, or Brian Eno - they have more substance and offer something original, whereas garage seems rather dull, plodding and unoriginal in comparison.

[djdiscomikki]

@uktransplantedyank So you're saying that electronic beats means something's pop. You need to listen to what is coming out of the US charts. Like a G6/ Black Eyed Peas etc - thats horrible electronic music and throwaway vocals. I dont like to make presumptions but I dare say you're one of those people who thinks all electronic music is utter crap. By the way Garage was one of the most popular underground genre's of the 90's in the US, and the UK. In the US it's still v popular along with House.

@djdiscomikki

It is pop, you idiot! It's all the same noxious electronic beats and throwaway vocals. It's just fodder for kids who want to get drunk and dance.

@uktransplantedyank Garage isn't pop you plank.
