Is there something wrong with me? I know his stuff is pure vanilla, but it’s a nice change of pace from the heavy metal I always listen to, and he at least has some talent, unlike John Tesh or some of the others of that ilk. Yanni’s stuff actually has some interesting melodic counterpoint and, frankly, some pizazz.
On the other hand, it’s stuff my mother would listen to. Nonetheless, Live at the Acropolis is a genuinely awesome album, IMO.
It’s not too late, Doors, come back from the dark side! We can help you return to your normal self. We all make mistakes, but you don’t have live like this.
Dude, there is so much GREAT music out there that would be a “nice change of pace from the heavy metal I always listen to.” Find a good classical station (the best in the world is Chicago’s WFMT) or a jazz station (suggestions anyone? Seattle’s KPLU is pretty good, but I’m sure there are better ones out there.). Immerse yourself in some great music and you’ll be amazed what’s out there.
Oh, I know. My father is a professional musician. I was raised with the classics.
Nontheless, after listening to Pantera and getting so wound up I want to jump around and break things, I feel like the King of all Pussies when I listen to Yanni.
Maybe I need some sissification. You be the judge.
I think it is very brave of you to admit this Mr. Doors.
Sad, but very brave.
Out of curiousity, did you have a towel wrapped around your head, some candles by the tub, a little popourri sprinkled on your mules and a glass of Merlot in hand?
Don’t worry. It’ll be our little secret. I am sure no one on this board will EVER remind you of this again…
You can get your Man Card back by posting the results (with pics) of you going to a redneck bar and shouting loud enough for everyone to hear that you like Yanni.
Airman Doors, I’m not exactly hardcore, but I too am afraid to admit that I like Yanni. Well, not all Yanni but some Yanni. Check out Tribute. It’s a wonderful CD.
