Electronic music...

Hooo boy you haven't heard much then.
I love my rock as much as my electronic music.

Listen to the likes of the Crystal Method, the Prodigy and the Chemical Brothers etc they are definitely true artists.

It's the exceptions to any rule that tend to confirm it.

Good music is entirely subjective so we'll just leave it at that.

agreed... and this thread wasnt meant for dissing. If you have nothing to contribute to it vifferman (tell us your happy music) then buzz off please

as for it being soulless... yes, maybe some of the mainstream is a little commercial, but the same with ANY music... I reckon a lot of the newer rock bands etc are soulless commerical shyte bags, but thats just me.. i don't diss people for what they listen to.

most electronic music that I listen to has a great feel and a great amount of body AND soul to it.. you just have to find the right artists/DJs.

Neither did I - I merely expressed an opinion.

As is the listener's appreciation (or otherwise) of that music.

In that case (and in that vein), I'm positive most of my music is of neither the happy nor electronica genre.
But among the very varied and very many things I listen to, the looniness of (early) Talking Heads, B52s, Devo and (later) Modest Mouse pleases me.

thats what i was wanting... doesn't have to be happy-sounding music, all it needs to do is make you happy, or "please" you as you said. cheers.

Regrettably, although I've had plenty in the past, the only electronica I currently have in my collection is Radiohead, which I don't reckon much.
If I want to listen to electronica, my sons have a large collection, including The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, and some stuff they put together themselves.
