Re: [Mellotronists] Re: catching up [blues]

I find blues and reggae tedious in any quantity.  Blues is locked into  the 
pentatonic with nowhere to go and reggae has the eternal 3rd beat in the bar  
running to destruction.  Both are severly handicapped by their  respective 
formulas IMHO.  To balance this, I have spent time listening to  prog during this 
last week via all the internet radio providers and I am  appalled at the 
majority of what I hear.  This genre is currently guilty of  crimes against mankind 
and may well have always been so.  Blues and  reggae may be musically 
claustrophobic for my tastes but the drivel pouring  from these progstations is like 
some hideous musical nightmare.  Give me a  stumbling player who means it 
rather than some technical genius bereft of one  good musical idea.
 
There, I've said it.  Now go and listen to Chris Thile's 'Not All Who  Wander 
Are Lost'.  Musical prowess and real music.
