I like to think that music is emotional expression. Emotions are as diverse=
as people are=2C and even though some 'types' of music appeal to some and =
not others=2C but isn't it all for the same purpose? When people listen to =
music they experience an emotional reaction. Again=2C it is different in ev=
eryone. As the cliche phrase goes: let us agree to disagree.

Music is also an art. And some of these artists may not be as adept as othe=
rs thus creating lower 'quality' music. Some people also have different ide=
as of how this art should be expressed. It may be appealing to one person t=
o listen to or create organ music that has stacked chords and many differen=
t flavors flowing through it=2C while to another person=2C it's more appeal=
ing to listen to or create a simple melodic structure hidden under percussi=
on and vocal chanting. It is truly a matter of taste=2C opinion=2C experien=
ce=2C and even cultural and religious influences! Which are as different an=
d diverse as each individual person.
