Schizophrenic Music

Let Us Know Your Thoughts!

Comfort zones can be found in so many facets of our lives.  From the food we eat to the movies we watch, much of what we take in resides in our own personal comfort zones.  Music is certainly no exception, especially with such a wide variety of options available to us, but it seems most people don't explore these options.  Why is that?  Could it be they simply don't have time to seek things out?  The musical landscape is as enormous as it's ever been and exploring an uncharted territory can be quite the experience.  So, if you're feeling adventurous, maybe try branching out a bit.  You might just enjoy it!

Sometimes you hear something and there's an immediate connection.  It could be the style of music, a particular instrument or maybe the singer's voice simply puts you at ease.  You're fully invested!  Then there's the flip side, where you cringe at the very thought of a song or a band.  Hence the topic of our discussion today!

So, what's your musical sweet spot & what's your kryptonite?

Is image everything?  That was certainly the case for heavy metal & hard rock bands back in the 80's, but the music scene quickly shifted in a different direction in the early 90's.  Grunge was king and anything glamorous or flamboyant in appearance was no longer cool; quite the opposite actually.  To this day there is a stigma attached to bands associated with the glam metal scene, even if they weren't technically glam metal.  But if you stripped away the visual and simply listened to the music being played, would you hear it differently?  We would venture to say yes, but we're admittedly biased since we grew up loving heavy metal.  So, what do you think?  Can you separate the image from the music?

Happy New Year to everyone!  

As we enter a new season of the Schizophrenic Music, we make a couple observations before we begin to meander...as we've been known to do on occasion.   We know some of you like it when we ramble on, but for those who don't, what would you like us to discuss?  We're certainly open to suggestions, so drop by and give us your thoughts!
