@Saka Music is a complicated subject, tastes and sensitivities to it differ even during the best of times, so it is understandable. And music is so complicated, in fact, that there are many ways to enjoy it, I remember this quote from Terry Pratchett:

Besides, Lord Vetinari, the supreme ruler of Ankh-Morpork, rather liked music.

People wondered what sort of music would appeal to such a man. Highly formalized chamber music, possibly, or thunder-and-lightning opera scores.

In fact the kind of music he really liked was the kind that never got played. It ruined music, in his opinion, to torment it by involving it on dried skins, bits of dead cat, and lumps of metal hammered into wires and tubes. It ought to stay written down, on the page, in rows of little dots and crotchets all neatly caught between lines. Only there was it pure. It was when people started doing things with it that the rot set in. Much better to sit quietly in a room and read the sheets, with nothing between yourself and the mind of the composer but a scribble of ink. Having it played by sweaty fat men and people with hair in their ears and spit dribbling out of the end of their oboe… well, the idea made him shudder. Although not much, because he never did anything to extremes.

-Soul Music, Terry Pratchett

@DoctorEldritch Discworld books are great! I remember when I read the The Colour of Magic for the first time and kept laughing every few pages.

@Saka They are! Though I liked the later ones better. Felt so bad about Sir Terry's passing. I think we should start a separate thread for them because there's a lot to say about those books!
