What kind of music do you wish there was more of?

Do you ever feel like there’s not enough of a type of music you like? What kind of music do you think there is too much of ~ and what should they replace it with?

Those Tibetan monks who can sing two notes at once. The world needs more of them, in mainstream genres.

yes, definitely more chanting...

I want more stuff like Coldplay, and Dave Matthews. And more rock, and less rap. Rap just bothers me.

Maybe I should sign my 4 yo son up with them... when he gets really pissed off and starts pitching a fit sometimes his screeching goes multiphonic and you can hear 2 notes.

Isn't that a sign of demonic posession? When my 4 year old nephew Victor starts that, I place my hand on his head and pronounce "Out, vile demon!", and he usually looks at me funny and walks off. It's usually followed by a chastisement from my brother, something like "You bastard! How come that doesn't work for me?!" Victor still thinks I'm cool. Everytime we go to the park, my brother and I are Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan, and Victor is Darth Maul. Ha, ha!

Check out Baraka, the burning Kuwati oilfield segement. Stearns composed music that has the Taiko Drummers, Tibentian horns, and bagpipes. It works!

lol... Uryoces, I'm crying... I'm literally crying... omg, that was some funny sh*t...

And I saw the Taiko drummers live... that is some cool stuff.

Anyway, along those lines, I think there should be more trip-hop, trance-type stuff, too. And acapella. I still think we could always use more good female singers, too. I like Atomic Kitten, and Lillix is cool too (they're new if you have no idea who I'm talking about: http://www.maverickrc.com/lillix/) And I wouldn't mind some good punk... meaning punk with deeper lyrics than drinking and being a punk and such.
