She hasn't either. Did you miss that?
Also, I'm not really trolling. It's not music that is appealing to me. (or her, or my other jazz friends who haven't heard of them either).

Yes I can use Wikipedia as well. I'm not saying they weren't successful.
I'm trying have a dialogue.

Alex Ross wrote an essay for The New Yorker titled 'Listen to This', which described growing up with classical music and without pop music, which he only discovered in adulthood. It does happen. The Stylistics might very well have owned AM radio, but many people never listened to it. Much of the rock music of the 1980s is entirely foreign to me, because I was listening to orchestral music at the time. The pop songs of the noughties that are now old enough to be played in the supermarket are new to me. In fact, the more time I spend on forums, the more I realise how little I know.

Thanks for your effort, I really enjoyed this Great grouping of music!!! Wish modern RandB had this strong of melodies.

About 4 years ago, not long after I moved to Las Vegas I wandered into a room for bands in a casino. I had strong deja vu.
This song gives me the creeps;

I really can't see why music for the baroque era is more complex than music form later eras. Why do you say that?

I was only comparing it to the Classical period. One of the features of Baroque melodies are that they are highly ornamented. Dense polyphonic texture dominated much of the era in contrast to the more homophonic and clearly defined form in the Classical era. The melodies are also far simpler.
I mean if you want to compare it impressionist music you can do that too.
I think you are focused on the analogy rather than the point I was apparently poorly making.
From professor Wiki:
In an anonymous, satirical review of the première in October 1733 of Rameau's Hippolyte et Aricie, printed in the Mercure de France in May 1734, the critic implied that the novelty of this opera was "du barocque," complaining that the music lacked coherent melody, was filled with unremitting dissonances, constantly changed key and meter, and speedily ran through every compositional device.[81] Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was a musician and noted composer as well as philosopher, made a very similar observation in 1768 in the famous Encyclopédie of Denis Diderot: "Baroque music is that in which the harmony is confused, and loaded with modulations and dissonances. The singing is harsh and unnatural, the intonation difficult, and the movement limited. It appears that term comes from the word 'baroco' used by logicians."

Both compositional forms and music fundamentals (melody, harmony, and rhythm) expanded and evolved significantly after the Baroque.
How did that expansion equate to simplicity, in your opinion?
