I got a bone to pick with the current crop of "singers and bands" and their so called "music". I CAN'T STAND THEM!
I look at some singers and bands and ask "how in the world did you make it to the big leagues?" There are some people that just can't sing worth a poop, like Justin Timberlake. Yes he can't sing, even if you like the guy. What about Fergie. She can't sing! All she is good for is showing that body of hers, which is probably why she got a record deal in the first place.
Timberland! Why is he singing! He can't sing. He just uses pretty women to promote his so called music.
Nickelback's music sounds the same, completely utterly horrible!
Then there are singers who can sing but just make horrible music such as Beyonce Knowles, who seems to like to shake her bottom more than sing a good tune, and Christina Aguilera who sings wasted songs like "Genie in a Bottle".
And then there's rap. Don't even want to talk about it, other than the fact rap is horrible, although old school early 90's rap was good stuff.
I realize there are two factors as to why the current crop of singers and bands are big: Radio stations playing the same tired old tune and the people listening to what the radio dishes out.
Now I'm comparing todays music to the 1950's through early 1990's. it seems like around mid 1990's music started to drop south where it currently is now. As for my music tastes, I listen to anything from Bill Haley and the Comets (1950's) to The Cranberries (1990's).
Now there are some bands I like such as Coldplay and Maroon Five, and the last true great song I enjoyed was "Better Now" by Collective Soul that came out a few years ago which I thought it was really catchy.
Maybe I'm being old fashioned but it seems like no one wants to make good music anymore.
