To me there are two kinds of music (that's 10 for you binary types) -- interesting and boring. The high school kids down the block that are playing their hearts out and every now and then getting the right note can hold my attention far longer than many of the fine orchestras that play a wonderful piece of music to perfection without a glimmer of emotion. My favorite "serious" music is almost everything by Sir Edward Elgar (2nd Symphony is a favorite) and everything I have heard by Charles Ives (the Seasons is excellent.)
I have attached a list of the groups level directory structure from the pop/folk section of the music server. It is representative of what I listen to. Of those listed I favor the late Warren Zevon the most (as VR has already found out.) There are so many on the list that most people have never heard about; but, have made excellent music. A lot of the entries have been transfered from the original Lps as they were never issued in the CD format.
