When I was 15 my father told me that Black Sabbath were not musicians and their stuff was not music it was noise. I have been tempted to say the same thing about some of the CRAP my son listens to. I try to keep an open mind but it's not always easy!

I used to get, "synthesizers are not an instrument." Fortunately not from my family, they bought me new headphones and slippers every christmas.
