R&P: What type of music is not music?

BQ: Song of the day?

BQ2: What albums are on your wish-list?

BQ3: Last thing you ate?

Update:

@Black Napkins: Ever hear of Bach?

Update 2:

@Fred

Tell me about it. I think China sucks worse than New Zealand (that's where you're from right?), you can't find albums from any other artists besides the most mainstream ones. They didn't have Roxy Music anywhere I checked, let alone Van der Graaf Generator.

    Crunkcore.

    Or if you want a serious answer, there's lots of avant-garde that I'm not sure about whether or not it counts as music.

    BQ: Umm... Paul Simon - Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

    BQ2: I never have albums on my wishlist since I get an album as soon as I want it. Hooray for P2P file-sharing.

    BQ3: This Greek chocolate pastry thing my mom bought. It was good.

    Hm, do Jedward count? They have an album out and i'm not sure if they actually had anything to do with writing or picking the songs, I think they are all covers?

    BQ: Root - Deftones

    BQ2: I'm fine with albums at the moment.

    BQ3: Oreos! In fact I had a deformed one, it was inside out if that makes sense, the biscuit bits were the wrong way round.

    Music is something that is pleasing to the ears, meaning crunkcore can NOT be music

    BA: Descend The Shades of Night - Machine Head

    BA: Avril's new album, maybe when 2011 rolls around Megadeth's new album, and I'm waiting on September for Maroon 5's new album

    BA: A jelly filled honeybun.

    If it is a type of music, it is music by definition. It is inherently music to be music. And if you a sound (or lack there of) is music, it's music. To say anything else is to be stuck. 20th century composers radically and successfully challenged the nature of music, and to define music as tonal or natural or anything else is reactionary.

    Wire and String: It's 4'33" not 3'14" and I would argue that it is indeed music. The music is the sounds of the audience and of the environment. It's certainly controversial, though.

    BA2: Big Freedia's various albums, and a comp. of the earliest recordings of Moravian folk music.

    Sorry, but I'm of the opinion that all sound has the potential to be music, it's all about how we listen to it...

    BQ: Psalm - Roxy Music:

    BQ2: Waiting to get my copy of Butterfly House by The Coral. God I hate living on the other end of the planet, it takes ages to get things imported...

    BQ3: Potato Chips

    john cage- 3:14

    (the composition consist of 3 minutes and 14 seconds of silence)

    edit: ooops, 4:33, thanks gender. i had a feeling i had it wrong but didnt feel like looking it up. the concept is more important than the duration anyway. and of course, i'm not brining it up to put down the piece in an insulting manner, just bringing it up as a piece of music that doesnt contain music.

    BQ: little yellow spider- devendra banhart

    BQ2: will oldham- joya

    BQ3: nature valley peanut butter crunchy granola bars

    Justin Bieber is not music. It's just a little girl that was handed a microphone, and subsequently caused a complete loss of sanity in the music charts. A very bad decision in my opinion.

    1. Crystal Clear - Young Guns http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOQ0F105otA

    2. Uhhh none right now actually .... I have no money, so I'm not going shopping for music, cos I know I'll want to buy :/

    3. An apple :) Very healthy for a change (Y) Om nom nom nom nom

    None Kraftwerk.

    Whistling is music.

    No one is expected to like every piece of music out there, so just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it's not music.

    BQ2- Nick Drake- Pink Moon
