Just to clarify:
pentatonic scales have 5 notes(penta means five ...tonic means tone or note)
the most common scale is the major scale which has 7 notes.Lydian is the mode thats root is the 4th note of a major scale.It is used as a substitute for a major scale in jazz frequently(and sounds great in rock also!).
IMO the scale that "dominated"what poor black people did 100 years ago has little to do with emotion.
Pink Floyd uses diminished triads and minor 7th b5 (half diminished 7th) chords....so did poor black people a 100 years ago....
