After reading that a few people think Mark Farina is a cheeseball i asked myself what's the definition of cheese?

So why is Farina cheesy? Is groovy house music you can have fun to cheesy? Is music with the slight elements of humor cheesy?

Cheesy is:

• Musically boring
• Generic sound spectrum
• Vocally overdone (the key IMO to a cheesy track)
• Rhythmically challenged

I see guys with record collections in the thousands, and even more MP3s, sifting through tracks and tracks of mostly garbage... mostly what I could consider "cheesy." To my eyes it has become more about how much music you have rather than your individual taste.

My collection is very small now, down to under 1,000 tracks specifically... which isn't a lot considering I've been collecting since 1994. That means I'm averaging 72 "keeper" tracks a year. No room for cheesy or boring tracks in my life. Be selective in what you buy and what you play.

hmm, i would say if you were to split music into a 2d line with experiemental and pop at both ends, cheese would be all the way over to the pop side.

personally though, I think good music is somewhere in the middle.

Farina = cheesy?

Doc Martin = not cheesy?

here is not a BIG difference between both..

I don't consider funky house music cheesy. I still love listening to deep funky house from the 90s.

Every CD that Farina has released is full of underground house music. I think that you don't know his works...

What's cheesy for me? It is an automatic feelin, difficult to describe with words. For example, in house music, I think that Van Helden has become very cheesy.
