I would poke fun at your taste in jazz, but I looked at your chart and... does Chicago even count?


Haha! I tend to think of Jazz as a world apart from the blues idiom and its descendants for some reason so the only stuff that I would even consider putting in my overall is stuff like The Mahavishnu Orchestra's Inner Mounting Flame or Birds of Fire. I really should create a Jazz chart now that I can make custom charts though. But my Jazz collection is completely BAWP city!!! ๐Ÿคฃ

Btw, Chicago's not even really, officially in my chart - just my listening bin. But, I guess it could qualify as jazz fusion in a pinch I suppose. I really like their first two albums.

A lot of people say that and I have to admit, I don't really get it. I do have trouble comparing jazz albums to, say, rock, but no more so than I do comparing hip hop to rock or electronic to country or whatever. Ah well, so it goes.

I'd like to make a jazz chart at some point, too, but it's one of many projects I'm poring over at the moment. Maybe I should move it up the queue, since now everybody seems to think my jazz favorites are all like the Al Haig Trio and bossa nova. ๐Ÿ˜œ

Nah! Don't fight yourself, sp4cetiger! It's a battle you just can't win. Just embrace the smooth...

It didn't help that I prematurely voted for You earlier in the round. Of course, if I'd known you were going to add ten votes to the final count, I wouldn't have even bothered voting. ๐Ÿ˜‰
