Are you serious, or are you trolling? I can't tell. There are different sub-genres of jazz, and different styles. Go listen to Bill Evans, and tell me there's no "melody" in his songs.
No i'm not trolling and yes I am being serious. No, I don't study music, and No I couldn't tell you the jazz modes or whatever. But what I do have is a keen ear for good music, and Jazz has produced nothing but vaginal discharge for my ears.
I have never, not once heard a Jazz song and thought "You know what, this is awesome".
No, won't happen, end of.
I couldn't give a shit if you guys listen to Jazz, good for you! But I even disregard SRV's Swang jazz song because it's shit. The first 6 beats and straight off the mark, you hear that annoying Jazz sound with the stupid chords, the annoying and tuneless random noise that most instruments produce during it.
Blues > Jazz. Thats it - no questions. Feeling will ALWAYS be superior to random jazznoise.
Flame away - you can all get as angry as you like over this, but I would happily burn a jazz album in exchange for a blues album which is ofcourse, real music.
