crisisoftheweek,
I’m guessing the ba’alei simcha is more concerned with being perceived as “too modern” more than the actual musical quality occuring.
Again, this is an unfounded assumption. Just because you like rock music does not mean that everyone else in the world has to, and that there must be some conspiratorial reason behind it if they don’t.
see if you can keep up with the time signature changes or the massive amounts of chord changes used in a single song.
Ok – so perhaps you’ve proved that rock music can be complex, but complexity doesn’t necessarily correlate with goodness 🙂
