No more restricted than most people's appreciation, and probably less restricted than most...... just a different era and range of styles than most other people. My appreciation for the most part runs from the early 1900s through the mid 1980s, and
Most here pretty much like a much shorter span than I do, which is approximately from the early 60s through the 1980s or 1990s, and also a smaller array of stiles which do not include too much black music. I get the feeling that most people in thisgroup listen mainly to white guitar oriented rock music from a 30 year period (early 60s through early 90s).

Occasionally, but not that much.
FWIW Thelonious Monk stayed at my parents little hotel where I lived as
a child. He started playing in the '30s.
And one of my fave albums is We Get Requests, Ellington, but not of his 20s/30s/40s/or even 50s years for that matter.
Certainly a lot, if not most, of the albums of the eras you quote are
less likely to be meaningfully sequenced.

No more restricted than most people's appreciation, and probably less restricted than most...... just a different era and range of styles than most other people. My appreciation for the most part runs from the early 1900s through the mid 1980s, and
group listen mainly to white guitar oriented rock music from a 30 year period (early 60s through early 90s).
Most here pretty much like a much shorter span than I do, which is approximately from the early 60s through the 1980s or 1990s, and also a smaller array of stiles which do not include too much black music. I get the feeling that most people in this

FWIW Thelonious Monk stayed at my parents little hotel where I lived as
a child. He started playing in the '30s.
And one of my fave albums is We Get Requests, Ellington, but not of his
20s/30s/40s/or even 50s years for that matter.
Certainly a lot, if not most, of the albums of the eras you quote are
less likely to be meaningfully sequenced.
There were no albums before the 50s, and very few before like 1956. As far as I'm concerned, it's a singles world.

I don't run around boasting about the *percentage* of "white music" I listen to as though it somehow made me cooler than everyone else.
I like the music I like for its musical attributes; it has *absolutely nothing whatsoever* to do with the ethnic backgrounds of the performers. Race does not factor into what I like. As it shouldn't.

I named one yesterday.
Instead of bitching at me because I don't share your racial fetish, why not participate constructively and divulge these black records in 7/4?
Both songs feature a great bass player named Chuck Rainey. (I'll bet Bruce approves of him, albeit for a reason other than his fine & funky bass playing.)

(I'll bet Bruce approves of him, albeit for a reason other than his fine & funky bass playing.)Read my prior post, the color of his skin is not what I am talking about. It's the style of the music and whether or not it's popular in the black community. If you like funky bass playing, you should be listening to Graham Central Station and
The Billboard Race/R&B/Soul/Black chart has never been about the sound of the music. It has ALWAYS Been about which records are popular in the black community. THAT'S what I am railing about. Not the color of the skin of the musicians, but the factthat most white people vastly prefer white sounding music to what is popular in the back community.
Why is that?
If race has nothing to do with music as you claim,
Why did the Beatles never place a single on the black charts?
The Bee Gees had several big hits in the black community, and the Stones even had a few. But nothing ever from the biggest overall act ever.

black songs like "I'm A King Bee" and "Walking The Dog."I've already told you that my list was of songs that featured bars of 7; it wasn't about bands I like per se.
Coincidentally, I like some of the RHCP albums very much. Their great bassist was very heavily influenced by the likes of Bootsy Collins and Bernard Edwards.
Coincidence?
Prove me wrong. Give us a list of your favorite black records of the 1980s, for instance.

I don't run around boasting about the *percentage* of "white music" I listen to as though it somehow made me cooler than everyone else.
I like the music I like for its musical attributes; it has *absolutely nothing whatsoever* to do with the ethnic backgrounds of the performers. Race does not factor into what I like. As it shouldn't.So why do you think that the "musical attributes" that you favor most are almost always put forth by white recording artists?

The theme of this thread is "Songs That Use 7/4 Time." It's pertinent to the group because several Beatles songs utilize time changes and "All You Need Is Love" in particular has some of the time signature specified.
Your wish to derail the thread into a contest to see who listens to the most black music is bizarre; it strikes me as something between extreme silliness and insanity. I propose that you channel your need for such a contest into a new thread --
Back on topic: Midnight Oil's "Read About It" has a ton of time changes and features 7/4 extensively.
Is it popular? I'm pretty sure I've seen videos for it on television.

We're not counting white sounding music that happens to have been made by black guys. THAT would be racist if we just go by the color of the skin of the artist.
When I say "Black Music" I am talking about music in a black style that is popular in the black community, not music by people who happen to be black, like Charley Pride, Clint Homes, and Living Colour. The act can be genetically white, like Teena
Instead of bitching at me because I don't share your racial fetish, why not participate constructively and divulge these black records in 7/4?
I listed a bunch of my favorite black records of the 1980s in this thread. I have no interest in time signatures and wouldn't know 7/4 from 13/4.

Haven't you ever wondered why you like what you like?
Why are 99% of the artists who do progressive and album oriented rock white, and why none of even the greatest black artists (Stevie Wonder, Prince, James Brown, Ray Charles, etc..) of that era are not included as part of so called "album oriented rock?"
Stevie Wonder had 3 or 4 of the most popular and acclaimed albums right in the middle of that "album oriented rock" era, yet the radio stations that play that stuff do not even play his records. What makes ELP, Tull, King Crimson, Yes, Elton John, andeven James Taylor okay for that radio format, but not "Superstition" or "Living For The City" by Stevie Wonder?
Same thing that made MTV all white for the first few years of their existence. They thought that white people would be "scared to death by Prince." Check this out below.

But he is also 'white', and has just released a book of his decades' collection of photos. Some of those are coloured, and others are black-and-white. He couldn't in all sincerity and true to origins take
'just black' photos, cos he isn't. Though there is no reason why he
couldn't have been.
