Let's start this off with a musical instrument yo.

For starters, it's just not popular. Some people don't like the way it sounds. However, you can't deny it's played some pretty significant rolls, though not so many as of recently. I personally love the way it sounds and think it's pretty awesome as a lead instrument and without it blues wouldn't be any where near what it is now.

Here's some classic blues songs that the harmonica leads in

It's in some pretty sick songs in cowboy bebop

How about another instrument? The fucking xylophone man this poor thing gets no recognition but it's pretty awesome.

Awww yeah, you remember me dog. How could you forget, you probably played with me a time or two when you were a child.
And guess what, it was fun as hell wasn't it? Yeah it was.

Try this xylophone solo with an orchestra backing it.

Plus they sound unique and play an important roll in a symphony.

Try this more new age, quirky song.

Your turn guys, what do you know people don't appreciate?

The Ukulele is always used in pop songs and only play 3 chords throughout the WHOLE song. I don't like that at all. Here's an example of what the Ukulele is REALLY capable of.

P.S. Just to brag, I can play this song. :P

A lot of people don't appreciate favors, I've noticed.

I used to have a harmonica, I loved that little thing so much! Then my dad threw it away cuz he said it was annoying.

When learning harmonica people will be annoyed, because they don't realize you have to be bad to get good.
Assholes.

Holy shit that's awesome! Great song.

Here's another for the instruments, commonly made fun of, but this thing takes crazy skill to play.

Yeah laugh bitch, but have you ever played one? Naw, probably not and trying to play one with any competence will likely make you feel like a total retard.

Here's some great banjo songs.

This one is played in by Steve Martin, yeah that's right. Steve Martin is pretty good at the banjo.

Who can forget that one scene from the deliverance?

I love banjos man.

because harmonicas sound like shit in music unless it's blues or something, and xylophones sound boring

I'm not sure I appreciate your tone sir.

hehe

Harmonics are the best thing ever.

Oh oh, I got another one.
Dinosaurs, my generation thought dinosaurs were the shit. Don't know about all these new kids but I love em.
Plus they have more history than us humans do, they helped shape the earth into what it is.

Teachers.
Self explanatory, I think.
I for one, have liked all my teachers. (maybe because they were all Canadian :D)

this kind of music.

actually I know incubus.
Now I feel like a hipster.

not incubus. that song specifically

How do you sound bad playing a harmonica?
I mean, you could play a harmonica that's in the wrong key and sound bad, but you just have to make sure your harmonica is in the correct key, whether it be major or it's relative minor. Shouldn't sound bad unless you're landing on modal notes rather than the root, which won't sound terribly bad unless you go for locrian.

I guess I don't appreciate the harmonica very much. It seems like too easy an instrument to me and too limiting, but I may see it different than someone else.
