43. "But Rock is a genre that's 'stripped down'" In response to In response to 39
That's my problem with this post...all genre's aren't jazz.
You are going to be hard pressed to find a 'technical' song with great songwriting outside of specific rock genres. Why? Because things like melody, grove, etc aren't technical.
Jazz needs to be technical because it's shit songwriting* to be honest, we appreciate it because of the chops and how the masters are able to wrest out melody and song ideas out of pretty much vaguely controlled notes.
Most of the great songs in the world are technically shit, lol.
