I agree with Stehno on both counts i.e. most rap and a lot of "jazz". While dissonance in rock music is one thing ( they usually at least maintain a steady beat of some type ), some jazz sounds like you've got various performers in different rooms of the studio all playing at the same time and they can't hear each other !!! For that matter, even "rap" or "hip-hop" will maintain some type of beat or rhythm, even if it is pre-recorded sound snippets from another band !!!
Having said that, my Brother and Father both LOVE John Mclaughlin / Mahavishnu Orchestra. Personally, i HATE this stuff. I can pretty much count on getting a headache if this stuff is playing when i visit either of them. Needless to say, if they won't put something else on, i'm out the door.... Sean
