In the last short while I have seen the term "self indulgent" thrown around to describe a piece of music, or maybe an artist. Of course, the term was meant in a negative way.
Isn't self indulgent what you want in music? Isn't that was brought Hendrix to the front, and would Brad Paisley have made "play" if he/it wasn't self indulgent? Pink Floyd anyone? Am I missing the point here? I think I am liking self indulgence stuff. I want an artist to be out there by themselves, doing only what they think needs to be done, no one else. Is that what self indulgent means?
Give me an example of an artist who is and one who isn't self indulgent.
