The 3rd Godfather is also terrible, but I would agree with this.

I'm only closed minded when it comes to music.

Honestly, I am really really open minded in virtually every other regard

But like I said, thats because Darwinism doesn't apply to music.

With music, the musically 'stupid' survive and the brilliancies are lost in the fog somewhere. I guess this is because the musically uneducated finds the simple elements of music appealing.

If anything, my ideas show how education and knowledge of a system/methodology CAN cause one to have creative inflexibility.

I would probably have the same issue with corporate management if I had been in the field for 20 years and were offered this job.

I'm also not saying that what I say is a fact. I am saying that it is an opinion that has education to back it up.

If it were chemistry, would you tend to listen to someone who has mini lab in their home, or someone who has a specialization in the field?

Your problem, Systo, is that you have confused music theory with music.

i'm not sure that anyone's really disagreeing with what you are saying about musical theory, i think pretty much everybody else is suggesting that perhaps there's more to listening to music than theoretical innovation.

edit: to say nothing of perhaps there being more to innovation than theoretical innovation

And claims to authority are the last refuge of a failed argument.

Oasis are okay but the fact that their frontman is such an utter turd turns me off to them

My brother knows all that music theory stuff and has taught for several years at a performing arts college in California. But he has always had pretty bad taste in music. Some exceptions but not many.

Idk. I think music can be innovative within a framework that may in itself not be innovative. Lyrics in the form that they're in now are drastically different then they were 100+ years ago, and things like film scores are also different in their own way that may evoke a different emotional response from people.

I was in a vast desert about to die. Then I saw those Gallagher brothers, but I just kept walking, didn't even stop.

hate to burst your bubble (actually, I love bursting bubbles but I like the expression anyway), but darwinism does apply to music

you know the catchy, repetitive stuff that people complain about having stuck in their heads? those are a type of meme and they get passed from person to person when someone hums them or posts the youtube somewhere or says "you know what song I can't get out of my head?"

all those ****ty, catchy, annoying tunes are more "fit" than anything you would consider worthy or innovative
