      @@07foxmulder Indicating that I love Jazz means that I typically prefer to listen to harmonically complex, improvisational music. It isn't meant to indicate superiority. It's meant to show how even the simplest composition can work with the right level of musicianship. I'm praising Beastie Boys' musicianship because it demonstrates that I'm wrong to choose music simply because of compositional complexity. I mention my love for jazz to show the contrast of two musical styles and how the seemingly simpler style is still so technically difficult to pull off.
