"Good" and "Bad" music
Discussion

I rather like music that tells a story or that has complexity that isn't immediately obvious... I like the way many of Bruce Springsteen's albums tell stories in music not just across the song but across the album. "Tunnel of Love" isn't (in my opinion) his best album, but it is one of the best stories told across 12 songs. Other majors for me would be Genesis, Dire Straits, Don Henley/The Eagles, Amanda Marshall and a lesser known band from the USA called Vertical Horizon. I do like the Killers but accept it as more formulaic rock, inspired not inspiring. While I can't stand Bono's attitude I am in awe of The Edge's guitar playing and complex layering going on.
Bad music? I'm afraid I'm less than keen on most of the mainstream stuff... I think that Katy Perry is gorgeous but I don't think it's the music that gets her sales if you see what I mean.

Matt Scannell did an acoustic duet album with Richard Marx which was much, much better than I thought it was going to be. Worth seeking out.

Cool - what's the title of the album?http://www.amazon.co.uk/Duo/dp/B001I1CRJC/ref=sr_1...
You know songs are good when they work with just an acoustic guitar or two!
