I totally agree with the music simily isn't very good part. Most of the CD's I buy are ones that have been out for years and I've slowly been buying them to replace my vinyl and 8-tracks.  |

Well congratulations! The music industry has realized that if they make crap and market crap, that does not equal that millions of people will buy crap.
Note to RIAA, not everyone is stealing music. The reason royalties have fallen into the toilet is that record companies are producing total crap and I, speaking for myself, can find better things to spend our money on other than crap.
Try working on getting better talent and some more diverse music that people may actually get interested in instead of some packaged marketed steamy sack of crap that you call music!

Amen to that! The record companies have been producing disposable pop trash and grunge retreads for years now. It's sickening. I haven't bought a CD in five years, and it's not due to P2P apps. Music today truly sucks.

This is the one instance (i think) where since you've already paid for the rights to the music once, you can now download the mp3's legally, no? |

STOP THE PRESSES! The music SUCKS!!!
No sheet Sherlock! How come such an obvious answer took to this route?
Since the late 1990's, music took a turn from mediocre to just plain crap.
It is not about competition. It is about what the record labels are shoveling to us.
It reeks of horse crap and it is packaged to look like a sexy babe or a baddas dude. Either way, it is terrible. AND THEY MAKE MONEY OFF IT!!!
Kids buy it like candy and think it is great.
I am a musician. So lets critique it....hmm
Monotone, artificial, repetitious, lots of moaning. Hmm. They all say "baby" or "Honey" or that "ohhhhahhhh"warble that sounds like someone put a finger on a record player. Sounds like the "other artist" (God knows there are so many wannabees) only they added some skritch scratch drum noise. And that obnoxious BASS BOOOOM that sucks the air out of your lungs and is strong enough to unbolt wheels! WTF is that? MUSIC?
more like NOISE!!!!
This is such a sore subject for me. Not because of the suck azz music but because the essence of being a musician was forsaken over this "noise".
Many professional musicians whom spent hours, months, years creating wonderful masterpieces have seen those dreams fade away over some pretty faced, big boobed nobody from nowhere that does not know what b-flat is.
I'd rather buy an enema and enjoy the crap before I pluck down $18 bucks for crap I won't enjoy.
I hope the business goes under..REALLY! I hope Sony, Columbia, WB, BMG and all the multinationals all go under!
Or else get their heads out their asses.
Last year, we had a reprieve and a nice scent of fresh air when Nora Jones won the Best Song, Album and new Artist award. I laughed my ass off so hard when the losers looked at her and said "whaaa"? Yepper!
But alas....we got nothing this year and next year, we get another shaft.

| Ironically, opinions like yours that this newfangled music is just noise are exactly what my parents say my grandparents said about the beatles...
I always find it shocking when musicians can't tolerate music that they don't like.
As has been said before, it would be a perfect world if everything could be unique and individual, just like you.

But if you look at it, The Beatles in the eyes of our parents was different than the Glen Miller stuff. It was loud rock and roll. But not noise per se.
But it was music made by musicians and not by a Yamaha machine.
Because I am a musician, I listen to all generes. From Metal to Jazz, Latin to New Age, Pop to Polka (my name should be a hint). I even love bluegrass! But I like a little bit of a variance within the styles. Unfortunately Hip Hop and the mainstream top 40's of today all sound cookie-cutterish. AND most are non-musicians.
Just someone with a nice voice or jiggly tits being exploited.
It is the same formula. No artists taking risks, no producers willing to front the money.
Go to FM radio and scan the dial. Tell me what you hear.
Sounds all the same.
You are right in a sense. But tell me what do you like about whats out there now. Please do. |

1 edit | Beatles aren't noise.
Download songs from Killswitch Engage and you will know what repetitive "noise" is. Rap is repetitive, they all sound the same, and have a curse word every 2-3 words.
All the songs I have are because of no particular artist, because they sound quite pleasant to my ear and aren't just random guitar string banging with the amp all the way up times a million.
