A good interpreter can take a piece of bad music and make it sound pretty decent, while a bad interpreter can take good music and make it sound cheap. I can tell that some people have a bad taste, and unlike on the piano, they smear around a lot, that is bad taste.
Ruggiero Ricci
All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it.
Jean Cocteau
All good music, whatever its date, is ageless - as alive and significant today as it was when it was written.
Peter Warlock
All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
Frank Zappa
Any good music must be an innovation.
Les Baxter
As long as it's good music, that's what's important.
Tom Araya
Before you can make good music, you just have to shut up. Then the music can say what it has to say.
Kristin Hersh
Composers are the only people who can hear good music above bad sounds.
John Philip Sousa
Drums just always sounded like the most fun part of that good music for me.
Levon Helm
Good music comes out of people playing together, knowing what they want to do and going for it. You have to sweat over it and bug it to death. You can't do it by pushing buttons and watching a TV screen.
Keith Richards
Good music is good music, and everything else can go to hell.
Dave Matthews
Good music is very close to primitive language.
Denis Diderot
I didn't aim at anything except good music.
Waylon Jennings
I do a lot of performing, but don't get a chance to go to the studio and write good music.
Bobby McFerrin
I don't mind what the market is, but why is it vapid? If they're such a bunch of idiots, why don't you show them good music instead? They're not going to know the difference.
Kristin Hersh
I firmly believe that we have more latent musical talent in America than there is in any other country. But to dig it out there must be good music throughout the land, a lot of it. Everyone must hear it, and such a process takes time.
John Philip Sousa
I firmly disbelieve that one has to be a tortured soul to write good music.
P. J. Harvey
I have never acknowledged the difference between serious music and light music. There is only good music and bad music.
Kurt Weill
I like listening to good music - and I can't stop playing my album.
Robbie Williams
I still felt we had some really good music on that record, but it's a shame that we couldn't make it better. And the tour was a total mess. We just had no life, no energy, and I felt we were going through the motions.
