i think that contest was called the TONOS JIBBOOM CONTEST the first time around. *went over really well :sarcasm:
i say that we put up a
backing track for everyone to work a song over, then just post it for everyone to listen to and remark about.
the idea that one song or artist is "better" than the next is contradictory to what music is all about.
is it better for a person to say "i like red" or for a person to say "i like cheese"? *
neither, they are just things that can be said.
music is just what the artist has to say. *sure some are better at conveying their feelings in their music, but that doesnt make what they have to say any less important than the next ------ so how can you pick a "winner" that is proclaimed as "the best" from a group of unrelated statements?
and jay satriani, i dont mean to offend you and say that you have a bad idea, so please dont take it that way --- i just hate the idea of competition in music.
