@jane1_kenny#MUNMUS2011 Good point, I agree, a listener's preference to live vs recorded music isn't a binary answer. Its a spectrum of preference over a variety of genres and venues.

#MUNMUS2011 I believe this music was considered "shlock" because by making the music safe, they removed the aspects of the music that made it unique and worth listening to in the first place.
