I agree (or understand I guess) with what you're saying though. When I was a kid I used to sit in my dad's "listening room" with all the lights off and go through hours of music. A lot of it was Beatles and Lennon solo stuff. I GUARENTEE that has a lot to do with where I am today.
Plastic Ono Band is one of the most gut wrenching albums ever made. There are albums I enjoy more, but nothing can hit me on an emotional level like that. It’s not pop like Beatles or some Lennon stuff. It’s pure creative energy. Only a person that lived Lennon’s life could have made that music. Maybe that’s why it’s so good: an incredibly personal look into the mind of the greatest songwriters ever. That’s sharing. That’s creating. That’s powerful. That’s music.
Now all of you go listen to “Love”

Yeah…

Ya hear that?

Now think real hard about you want your music to say.
