Unless, of course, you're someone who doesn't like those bands, in which case they are not necessarily better than today's music...

[Syngia]

If you want good music, look underground my friends.

Mainstream will generally always be a magnet for suck. Although sometimes, they do catch a good act to parasite off of.

[Novograd IV]

I do have a wider music palette, but this gives me a warm feeling in my heart every time I play it.

maybe i'll add another one later from a different genre, mabe neo-classical or melodic, but I really have a place in my heart for that song.

I can't help it. My head starts bobbing towards a head banging session every time I hear this kind of music, but I'm 35. My instinct says yes, my neck says no.

Out of reflex, I make the \m/ whenever I hear it, or it's kind of music!
METAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL!

There was some really great music in the 70's. And some real shit.

There was some really great music in the 80's. And some real shit.

There was some really great music in the 90's. And some real shit.


There's a pattern here.

[Unilisia]

Insufferable. A few good acts (Carolina Liar, Rammstein, The Killers, Coldplay..), but other than that, it's pure shit. Even though I wasn't alive back then, the 70's and 80's were much better in terms of music.

I am now looking for the high-profile assassinations of Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and other newbie musical acts (though not Miranda Cosgrove; she's not the best singer, but she's too hot to die.)

NSG? Thoughts?

I like 90's music best, a few post-2000 bands are okay too, like you said the Killers and Coldplay are pretty much it. Everything else afterwards can get killed.

Not all of them were equally influential. And not all of them influenced good bands.

Creativity of Ratt? None.

[Ewa beach]

Well, I still listen to the 'oldies but goodies,' specifically I listen to Elvis Presley the most, along with country music. All other genres of music are horrible in my opinion, especially rap.

[Neu Leonstein]

Well, my playlist includes Simon & Garfunkel, GZA, Sarah Blasko and Amanda F. Palmer (in particular the first song of her ukulele Radiohead cover album). These days or not, I've been able to find it and I like it.

So stop complaining and start searching. And if you don't like it, don't listen. I couldn't name a single top-ten hit of the past five years.

[The Southern Dictators]

Pretty much all I listen to is Jazz from the 40's and 50's and a few modern bands. I used to like Regina Spektor before she went all mainstreamy, and I still sort of like the Dresden Dolls. I've been listening to the Seatbelts for a while, and I absolutely love them.

40's and 50's eh ?
May I have a list of jazz groups from those years.

Bob Crosby, Max Kaminsky, Eddie Condon, Wild Bill Davidson, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Chet Baker, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Gil Evans, Stan Getz, Charlie Parker, Bud Powell, Thelonius Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Horace Silver, John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Charles Mingus...

Yes.

And Nat "King" Cole's trio was strong as well.

[EpicBunyz]

Dear God, we'll give you Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, all rap, all techno, anyone affiliated with disney, and Lady Gaga, if you give us back our flannel-wearing, bad a**, unwashed hair, heroin shooting, able to perform live, grunge rockers.

You want techno for your barbaric offering, you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Gladly. I will then smash my left handed stang into your face xD

[Franca-Liria]

In general, sucks.

The music of the 40s (swing era) actually has taste, is both relaxing and enjoyable, and is done by people with real talent, not pretenders who use high-tech sound stereo systems to augment and change their voice, or who drown out their bad singing with overblown amps and technical displays.

Not necessarily. There's plenty of good bands today that still have strong roots in grunge. Seether for example.

Lady Gaga isn't a shitty artist, she's just at the edge of music and a lot of people don't like that. Some people hate it because she's popular and they shit on anything popular.

She also has a dick. Next?

Her transgenderhood was a rumor spread by a fan, and repeatedly denied by PR and herself. If she was transgender, given her record, she would say she was. Next?

In the music video of Telephone, lots of crotch shots of her with a large lack of male genitalia

[The blessed Chris]

I don't really pay enough attention to music to determine whether it's any better or worse than in years past, if such a statement can be objectively made anyway. Generally, though, such debates are afflicted by nostalgia for one's youth, and the formative effect of the music of one's youth.

Photoshop+airbrush. Not to mention autotune. She's not very attractive if you see her live, nor can she sing. Her videos look good because of production values.

Fort Minor rocks.
