I always find it interesting so many people have become so ingrained/ programmed into 1-4-5 music (basic blues type progressions). Such that anything outiside of that is either dismissed or relegated into jazz/ hybrid/ other music.
It is really unfortunate how homogenized/ generic/ packaged so much is these days.
It really seems all of these songs are pumped out of the same few writers, bought up and wrapped up as pop, rock, country, hip hop. The only thing changing is the instrumentation, and the accents.
I hate 1-4-5 12 bar stuff. So much so that I refuse to jam those songs with other bandmates. They bore me to death.
