No, I think "A Love Supreme" is complex. I think "The Prophet's Song" is complex. I think "Sacre Du Printemps" and "Petrushka" are complex. I know quite a lot about music actually, thanks. Enough to merit me a Music Theory 201, in fact, and nearly there for the 301. I must say that I find it amusing that you judge me as considering a song complex that I haven't even responded on. It really shows your intellect.

I've spent half my life learning all I can about it, and am still working on it. I have heard more music and learned from more musicians than I have had meals.

You can study music all your life , doesnt mean you understand music. A real musician is a musician by heart not by studies. You study it cause you aint a musician but most likely want to be. For you to call it simple, i would like you to come up with something more complex.

The beatles are crap? Okay you're rearded. I was gonna leave my opinion of your band to myself but that statement forced my hand. First of all the music nearly put me to sleep. It' soooooooo dull. NOthing creative about it nor is their anything that stands out. It's a piece of shit compared to Queen or the beatles. Queen influenced? Only if Queen were mindess rtards with synth in front of them and didn't know how to rock. Luckily Queen knew how to oc and yourmusic doesnt rock. It sounds lik pretentious new age crap, wrote by uncreatie types. Just my opinion. By the way the Beatles covered a vaiety of styles, Listen to You Never Give Me Your Nmber or Maxwells Silver Hammer, or Oh Darling, I want you.... You should listen to abbey Road I guessbecaus thats althe songs I'm naming. What really sounded like the title track to Sgt. Pepper a the time|? Not much. The drumming on Strawerrie Fields is amazig, Abbey Road is mind Boggling at how amazing it is. The Beatles wee the best. The only way as far as musicianship goes, (musically they were better than Queen) is drumming, Ringo was amuch better drum compser than Rogr. Rogrs drumming is so boring for the most par. He migt've been physically more talented but Rngos mind was far superior. Maybe if you somewhat really "got" (undrstood) te Beatles o Queen for that matter your music would be better.

This singer sounds more like Lou Reed meets Morrisey trying to sound like Freddie.(BTW I respect Lou Reed, Morrisey and Freddie) The songs aren't complex but complex is not synonymous with good. Sometimes simplicity can take music to a whole other level. The biggest problem I have is that you don't really have anything to do with Queen but promote your band on a Queen discussion board insulting other musicians. Take your deluded arrogance to a more appropriate forum. You might actually achieve a level of competence and achieve greatness but you're a long way from it. If you want complexity try 'On Green Dolphin Street' or 'Giant Steps'. Try Stravinsky. I could name some complex music that is truly awful but I'd rather listen to something simple yet sublime. Trash talk and false bravado may work in the NBA but as an artist posting on a message board you come across as something not worth my time.

oh come on, my attention span hardly lasts for more than 3 seconds and I find the Beatles hells much better than that shit that I heard, I mean I'm not saying my band is any good (mostly because it's James and I and I'm not an octopus) but I know good-enough music when I hear it, and your's was no-where near it, maybe once you explore different things and not be soo...what's the word? oh well, you may be able to make it one day (with a slight bit of luck mind you)

Good sir, to rate one highly is never to cast aspersions on the other! But one must accept that the Beatles came before the Floyd, and for one to exist without the other is nonsensical. I wish our chums in Treasure Moment would acknowledge the invaluable influence that earlier bands have on the music of today. (even if Treasure Moment is just a pale and boring imitation of Joy Divison).

Those two were the first off the top of my head. They're accessible to the average listener, even to Treasure Moment(why does that name make me laugh?) Complexity doesn't equal good music but good music can be complex. For Treasure Moment to claim their music is in any way better because of their perception of it as complex is fallacy. It is not complex nor is it better.
