Jazz vs. Blues

[JustABluesMan]

Which do you prefer? I prefer blues; it's my feel-good music. B.B. King is boss!

 

[DeadBattery]

I prefer neither. More of a rock/metal person.

I like both, however Jazz tends to sound more cheerful to me.

 

[bhupendra2895]

I like music, I don't know what jazz means or what blues means.By the what is the genre of waka waka? :-D

Jazz Only if it's fast though, slow jazz is just boring.

In fact, I even play for a jazz band

Blues most definitely, but jazz is good as well.

To DeadBattery: the vast majority of rock music is derived from blues. You can find the blues in the music of Elvis, classic rock, hair bands/stadium rock, metal, prog rock, grunge and even modern rock and "nu-metal"

I hate both but if i had to choose between it would be "Blues"

Jack White is only one of many rock musicians who listens to a lot of blues.

Do you hate them for a reason or do you just hate them because they're not "cool"?

And blues is derived from jazz

Technically jazz is derived from blues.

I like all types of music. Given a choice between I enjoy jazz a little more than blues.

Even though Jazz bugs me, it does not bug me nearly as much as the Blues does. Jazz has a unique quality of sound though. I mean most Jazz can be instrumental, where as Blues needs words to convey the blues mentality.
Just my opinion.
