What do you guys think of music these days?

SkYLiNeFrEaK · #1 10-05-2001, 06:04 PM

Stupid ass MTV, playing all these videos over and over, and once again over. They've turned the rap genre into the pop genre, which is a bad thing. Rap used to be classified by its self. You can consider ANY music these days crap can't you?

A few fine examples of OVERPLAYED rap songs.

Izzo, by Jay Z, this has to be the WACKEST song I've heard this year. I was really into it, until MTV started playing it 5 times a day, 7 days a week.

Can't deny it by Fabolous, once again, MTV gave this artist TO MUCH PLAY, and forced me to quit listeing to him, because his songs are overplayed already, and he just came out a month ago.

Anyways, does todays music stack up to the music of back in the day?

IMO....NO WAY IN HELL!!!!

I think today's music is formulated crap. There are, of course, exceptions. Radiohead comes to mind as a good band that is way ahead of its peers.

I hate modern alternitive/rock (or what they define as rock) so much, that I turned to Country music. I love the old stuff, from the 70's into the early 90's. But, most new stuff sucks. Long, and Hard.

I really got into music back '96 and '97, so the music from those years is my absolute favorite. But I like pretty well all '90's, and '70s and '60s music. I like new music as well, but on a song by song basis mostly. Some bands continually pump out awesome songs, like Barenaked Ladies, but all this Blu Cantrell, J Lo stuff all sounds the same and is way overplayed.

I liked Kryponite for about a week when it first came out, but then it was played (and still is) WAAY too much.

I CANNOT STAND Alicia Keys - Fallin'. I hated that song from the beginning, I punch whatever radio button my finger happens to hit anytime it comes on so that I don't have to hear it. I don't know why people love it so much.....

I think they should line up all the boy bands, crappers - I mean rap artists and feed them to the sharks. There is some seriously annoying shit passing as music these days.

All of the great music had already been written long before the current crap came along. Some of the country music is OK I guess.

Rap is not really music. It's African drum beat. It has no melody and therefore cannot be sung. It can be chanted however.

I definately agree that most "modern" music is way too overplayed, trite, and formulated by the same middle aged balding men!!!!

I, too, turned to country for an alternative since everything else is inescapable... Unfortunately, Pittsburgh radio sucks severely, and despite even its 8+ country stations, the same damn country songs are played (all of which are/could be pop-crossovers like Faith Hill, Dixie Chicks, and others).
True, I fall into some marketing traps, but only for "shits and giggles". I bought the 3 Doors Down CD when Kryptonite had been released but a day, and as for my Vertical Horizon CD... they have some really good songs besides the radio play...
THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE!

i hate the new crap. i'm a fan of mid 90's rock(metallica, sublime, chilipeppers, etc..) and classic rock(led zeppelin, lynnard skynnard, tom petty, etc...). i can't stand rap. i really dont like country, it's all the same to me. i want to kill all the boy bands!!! all you have to be is good looking(but a lot of the chicks are nasty) and know how to dance to be apart of this homosexual pop culture. you dont have to know how to play any instruments. can you name any of nsyncs guitarists? you dont have to sing. listen to britney for an example of crap. or they can just dub your voice. i cant stand these homos!

Seraph · #11 10-06-2001, 01:21 AM

Yeah amen to all above
When the planes crashed in NY i was really hoping for Backstreet boys to be on one of them...didnt happen. Damn.

I listen to either Talkback radio or the russian CDs that I record from the PC now, cause all the radio has turned to total shit.

Heep · #12 10-06-2001, 02:24 AM

Actually, for a day or so, a lot of people around here thought that the BSB's did die...a concert was planned for that night, and they were en route to here by plane that day......

Seraph · #13 10-06-2001, 02:54 AM

What a disappointment it must have been to learn the tragic news ... that the concert is stll to be held

I listen to newsradio all the time in my car.

At work, because I have a high-speed connection, I use sonicnet.com. I like it because you can tailor your own playlist by genre, and you can remove artists you don't like. My station is a mix of Jazz and '80s pop.

primera man · #15 10-06-2001, 06:41 AM

Rock from the 70-80-90's are my favorite.
A lot depends on the mood im in to what i like to listen to.
