"One of the issues these days is the sheer amount of music out there to be listened to. There are more bands than one could ever hope to explore."

“It's hard to quantify a 'top ten' list of songs for many reasons. I like many styles of music, and it's difficult to compare radically divergent types of music with each other.”

“If someone only ever listens to, say, Nickelback, their opinion is valid but largely meaningless since they don't bring any depth to the discussion :)”

“You could argue that there's maybe some mathematical interest in a Bach fugue, say, but the only thing that music does really well is "move" people -- make them feel something.”

“Music is nothing but ratios and harmonic math, anyways.”

“The problem these days is again just the sheer amount of music available, and that music isn't as important an experience in people's lives in the 21st century as it was previously.”

“Stylistic evolution comes from listening to what other people have done and making a Darwinistic modification.”
