I prefer season 1's version, but they're all good.

When you walk through the garden
you gotta watch your back
well I beg your pardon
walk the straight and narrow track

If you walk with Jesus
he's gonna save your soul
you gotta keep the devil
way down in the hole

This isn't some high society shit. This is a vital part of Americana that influenced many genres of music including pop, rock, heavy metal, and rap. For you to label it "pretentious nonsense" merely shows how ignorant you are when it comes to music history.

It sounds pretentious, so I label it as such. I couldn't care less what it influenced. Pop is awful. Most Rock & Metal are garbage. And rap is the worst genre of 'music' ever created (I don't even think of it as music).

You sound equal parts clueless and arrogant.

Jazz fans are always so sensitive. Which means their 'love' for Jazz isn't genuine, because they're just posers. Which, funnily enough, makes them just as pretentious as Jazz itself. lol

You’re a Bach, Beethoven and Brahms guy?

I'm guessing he's more of a Wagner guy.

I think he's into Gregorian chants. What a bore.

I haven't gotten to the jazz phase of my life yet. As a lifelong music enthusiast and musician I've tried to get into it a bunch of times, but I still don't get it. It'll happen eventually I guess. The only jazz I can tolerate so far is when it's mixed in with other genres and doesn't dominate the composition.

I really like the album Jazz på Svenska from 1964 by Swedish jazz pianist Jan Johansson. It's jazzed up folk music basically, but he stays true to the melodic and melancholic mood of Swedish folk music which is what makes it so good.

I was never exposed to jazz growing up, never knew anyone who listened to jazz or anything. The few occations jazz came up in conversation it was always just to ridicule it and those pretentious nerds and "fancy" goofballs who listen to it. But as I grew older I noticed how widely celebrated the jazz genre was by everybody, and even by people whose taste in music I usually share. It's like I'm missing something so amazing that's right in front of me but I just can't see it. I've tried getting into it multiple times, but it's never happened for me. I'm starting to think that it might be one of those thing you inherit from your parents if you're exposed to it when young and such.

Its does I think take a prolonged effort to "get", I didn't grow up listening to it and didn't really take easily to it, took several years of the odd listen.

Added to that as well a lot of what gets recommended probably isn't the best intro, better to start with say Blue Trane than A Love Supreme.

Subtle. Well played.
