I don't think anyones level of intellegence is determinable by the kind of
music they listen to. Some of the smartest people I know listen to pretty
shitty music to begin. On the flip side of that, I know some dumb ass
people who listen to some pretty intellegent music. Music can be a simple
or complicated thing and depending on why you listen to it determines what
you will like. I like groups like FSOL, for the atmoshphere their music
creates, I like Aphex Twin for the creative "fun" he brings to music. I
like autechre for the textural design of their music. I also like Korn,
even though there is nothing intellectual about their music at all. There
is an emotional outlet in their sound that I can appreciate. I also like
Busta Rhymes because he makes rap less gang related. He brings a lot of
humor into, and he is really good at what he does. Of course, there is Run
DMC, how could you not like Run DMC? Anyway, I can't say that I like
country, but I love Johnny Cash, he is my punk idol for doing whatever the
hell he wanted cause that was what he wanted, not to be a punk, but just
because that is what he wanted. Anyway, I will stop right here cause I
could go on and on, and I know some people on this list don't like the
things others have to say anyway.
