The blues. Rhythm and Blues. Jazz. Soul. Reggae. Hip-hop. Neo-soul. Different strokes for different folks when we remain open.

OK, full declaration: the Stones have a new record... Little Johnny Taylor is in the air.

No need to re-write Duke Ellington just quote him:

There are simply two kinds of music, good music and the other kind ... the only yardstick by which the result should be judged is simply that of how it sounds. If it sounds good it’s successful; if it doesn't it has failed.
