The quote below pretty much sums up all the different genres of music to me. The gist is to learn to create music if you want to be called a musician. If it makes you tap your foot a few times then it's great, but please do not reproduce and overproduce it.





"I think that’s what it’s about for me – the craft. I mean, the packaging leaves me cold, and so much of music today is the packaging and the presentation, the video and the promotion, and you’ve got to unwrap everything to find out if the craft is there. To me, music is either good or bad if it makes me feel something. If it doesn’t make me feel anything, I’m just indifferent to it. Like Madonna is a phenomenon that I recognize, but she doesn’t make me feel anything, I can’t identify with her on any level, because all she is, is production and packaging." -Eric Clapton
