When I get into musical discussions with other people passionate about music, I often have to ask what makes music move people. Music is one of those things you can’t really put your finger on – it’s not simply melody, not only lyrics, not just sound, and not merely rhythm. Is there a common thread that makes music ‘good music’ then?
There are so many wonderful bands out there that slip into obscurity, and stuff I’m amazed that sees the light of day and becomes ‘popular’. Is music then 100% subjective?
