My post was no t focussed on lyrics as much as it was with music styles. I do agree that a melodious style of music, the Michigan U. marching band for example has rhythm and beat but it is not no pronounce in a rap style of music.

>>Chinu, I dunno if one can truly separate melody & rhythm while considering music. Is it really possible to have one without the other and call it music ?<<

BB -

Yes, you absolutely can have either one without the other. It's easier to find examples of rhythm without melody than of melody without rhythm, but I could probably find examples of both types of music in my music collection.

I would also say that it's possible to create music that has neither one, but that's a tough trick, and it wouldn't sound like music to everyone.
