In line with your food themeBrian, I think the old saying, "The proof is in the eating" applies.
It is what it tastes like. To the eater.
Or the listener in the case of music.
I like Hound Dog Taylor's line in that.
He said. I only play two kinds of music. The slow stuff is Blues, and the fast stuff is Rock And Roll."
Lately, I have been watching a string of TV shows dealing with the develpoment of music and even there the narattors are debating on what is called what.
Happens often in competitions. Particularly in Country music, where the judge's comments may include a piece something like " This is too jazz to be entered in a country section."
The ear of the beholder has tomake the decision I guess.
And they all have a differant opinion.
