Gladwell's 10,000hrs, with determination for "sounding good" rather than "being original". When a song or recording appreciates with replay value, is it more because of the former or latter? Also perhaps a topic for another thread: there's an interesting duality between remaining original and changing with the times, evolution
true maybe another thread someday but no I'm not asking for world changing, i understand styles are styles but what i am at is not where i can go well this song is like this song mixed with this song, because if you are just to sound good you might as well record covers.
I always set out to write stuff that's different, then finish it and think "hey this is x crossed with y" so I'm sympathetic to other people who do that.
Can relate x2
And yeah I get it, I think @Mudfuzz Sounds like you're sick of stale shit
I reject the presupposition where 'sounding good' is limited to material that's been-there-done-that, beaten-to-death or has to be safe. The bigbrains in hollywood need to take the hint, because what (they) are making releasing is neither fresh, original nor good.
