I wonder what is the most intelligent and best music? We should whack our criterias out and figure this out.

Ah yes, because of the frequency range.

That's measurable by science.

You only need look at the numbers, it's there in plain black and white (or phosphorous green on black if you're super intelligent)

StephenG you would have had a lovely time in Nazi Germany; categorising which art was base and degenerate and which art conformed to your scientific standards of 'quality'.

Yeah, I made these standards up myself, I'm the first person to think like this. Let's forget the hundreds of books and other media on the topic. :cerious:

so much arrogance from stepheng

Not sure how any of that was arrogant. Maybe because I'm not posting pictures of some craig anderson asshole like everyone else?

Or was it the part where I wanted to have an intelligent conversation with another person so that I might actually learn something?

srs watmms

"Best" and "intelligent" are both subjective terms and therefore unmeasurable. Quantitative and qualititive variables are NOT subjective and can be measured.

Your deficient intellect continues to amaze me.

Please teach me your "intellect"

Some people you just can't teach because they aren't willing to have an intelligent conversation.

Is that the first lesson?

Can you teach me about music?

it was the bit where you tried to make something that's inherently subjective into something that's objective because you apparently have superior musical tastes to skrillex fans.

but if you don't get it, then you don't get it.

No I can not. You are ignorant and immature.

You're not much of a teacher.

Again, putting words in my mouth. I never once said that my musical tastes were better, in fact I said the complete opposite.

You're just as special as Dan C over here.

My personal taste has no bearing on whether they are quality or not.

"it was the bit where you tried to make something that's inherently subjective into something that's objective"

Not to mention, me trying to equate one thing with another is the process of learning. Learning.

Not arrogance. Education.

you can't employ empirical methods to measure 'quality' of music, or indeed any art.

go read about free improv, outsider music, and artists like duchamp and josef beuys.

because i don't have the energy to argue with you about it.

it's ok, i make a tit of myself all the time on here.

occasionally i say things that some of the watmm greats actually agree with.

I don't understand what's wrong with wanting to have an educated conversation, why WOULDN'T you want to educate me if you know these things?

Oh right because you'd rather talk about craig anderson like everyone else.

This thread just begs to be locked. I mean.. enough is enough.

Let's get educate!

heh.... that's funny. You can clearly see him switch something off. Then he's all confused as to why theres no music playing anymore.

This is a pretty good illustration of the low quality I was talking about.

But I'm wrong of course. This only a matter of taste according to half of you watmmers, some people actually prefer an "artist" that doesn't even know how to work a mixer.

Dang... I was hoping to wake up to a spirited debate. Did I get my point across in my last post? Anyone?
