Why My Music Is Better Than Yours

Well, not really.

You might be a rock guy. Or maybe a country girl. Or an alternative chick. Maybe a blues boy. Perhaps a bluegrass dude.

Punks don't like rock, rock doesn't think much of country, alternative thinks very highly of themselves.

Everyone has different tastes. Just because you don't care for something that doesn't make it worse than what you like. I've never been a big country fan, but I find that the more I explore music and listen to the past I've come to a grudging love of a lot of what would be considered country music. There's still some of it that I can't stand, but there's a lot more that I do like.

And just because a music critic thinks something is great, doesn't mean it's all that. Or by reverse, just because an album gets one star doesn't mean you should ignore it. If it's something you like, listen to it and don't worry about what others think of it. Early reviews of Led Zepplin from such leading rock journals as Rolling Stone called their music terrible, but try and find a bad review of that music in the magazine today. It just goes to show no one knows anything.

We've made it our mission statement on this site to be positive about what we write about here. We want to introduce our readers to some great music. Do we think you'll enjoy song of the day we feature, every artist that answers our Simply Six, every singer that we spotlight? Of course not, but hopefully there will be some that we mention that you will hear and want to investigate further, perhaps buy their album, go to one of their shows, support their music.

It gets harder and harder everyday to discover new music and at the same time it's never been easier. The internet puts a vast catalog of music at our fingertips, but sometimes it can be hard to find something new. We're here, hoping that we can help a little with that.

But remember just because you don't like that last artist we spotlighted it doesn't mean they were bad, they were just meant for someone else.
