Jack White - ‘Fear of The Dawn’ and ‘Entering Heaven Alive’ are both incredible albums.

Same here, but songs like blue jeans are on another level

You can if you programmed the AI, or if the AI user agreement signs over ownership of the completed work to the user.

You absolutely are the composer. You can hit a keyboard randomly and write down the notes and call yourself a composer, using a tool that requires your input is more involved than that.

I'm dad, but dont have a yacht :D

Wow, first thanks for the informative reply. Second, thanks for implying about American musical history. I think its market or trending music forces tend to influence bands or musicians trying to stay relevant to please business execs. That I do understand. So me growing up in 70;,80,90 decades kinda have a messy streaming playlist.

A perfect circle

Your question perfectly illustrates why genres are useful as a means of discussion of sounds and styles, but useless for actual categorization of artists, bands, albums, songs, etc.

Historically in America, the people responsible for innovating music did so because they didn’t give a crap about fitting within a particular sound. They made the sounds they heard, that grew out of what they knew, and made newer things from them. From Duke and Charlie Parker to D’Angelo and Erykah Badu, people who push music deliberately eschew the constraints of traditional labels. And perhaps Steely Dan isn’t so influential as the people I’ve named, but they pushed the capabilities of their sound for sure.

Ultimately, trying to pigeonhole artists into singular genres is often not only impossible, but harmful. I’ve talked to many a friend who had difficulty properly getting their music out there because they didn’t write it with a specific genre in mind, yet streaming services tried to get them to define their sound under a singular banner.

Which, if you didn’t know, is how many genre distinctions came about in the first place. For the most part, it was not musicians who first labeled genres; it was execs and managers who wanted to slap labels on things to make it more easily marketable.

All that said, you’ve actually answered your own question here. You’ve defined the elements you hear in their stuff, and that’s as far as it’s gotta go.

I think you hit the nail here: a lot of people here in this thread think that I don't like the """"uncomfortable"""" song topics, the melodrama or the character, and I don't think that's the case. The problem is the connection. She's a great artist, but I can't connect to her.

They're considered lame.
