Some interesting points all of which I would agree to some degree.
I'm first and foremost of Rock/pop music lover, but my range of music taste is much wider than the rock/pop genres.
I like a lot of the prog rock music from the 60's and 70's having grown up with it. But I also like folk, country, some punk & new wave to name just a few. I also like good orchestral music, and note I said orchestral.
So what do I mean when I say orchestral? Put simply music produced by a full or boutique orchestra.
I recently had this conversation with my wife two or three days ago
