Actually- there's a lot of good music out there, you just have to look at places other then MTV, Clear Channel radio stations & American Top 40 to find it...

Hey, you gotta have something to occupy your time since there's no good new music to occupy it. I'd rather hear a recording of people just sitting around bitching on the radio than what's actually being played on it.

Yeah, there's plenty of good new stuff out there alright....the blank spaces of silence between each song.

Sorry to hear that you have no good music radio stations to listen to.
I guess some ppl are not willing to search for good music

I listen to a great non-commercial listener sponsored community radio station that plays all types of music. That is where I find most of the new music- lord knows I won't here it on mainstream stations..

vainandy said:

A lot of times when people say there is good new music but you have to search for it, it is usually not what I'm looking for.

I want some new funk. However, I do not want funk that is mixed with jazz and I want absolutely no hip hop influence in it whatsoever. Just good hard funk and nothing but the funk. I don't want anything midtempo either. I want some jammin' funk...the ass shakin' kind. Tell me where that is and I'll be glad to look for it.

vainandy said:

I feel the same way! I want some REAL funk.I'm sick of midtempo,sample-heavy R&B with the guest rapper.Those of us from the "old school" need the real thing.

Japanese pop is the path to salvation



WoWa

You can join those hard bop and punk fans who are waiting for more from their favorite genres.

(Sorry.)

DavidEye said:

Let me join in on this cause I wish we had some real funk out there but I don't know if that'll ever happen. And the way the world is today, hip hop will find a way to pop it ugly head out in the middle of the song. A man can dream though.

vainandy said:

I would too. I actually listened to to Mariyln Monroe singing "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" last night thinking, "Hell, even Marilyn Monroe could sing better than most of the people with careers these days!" She was actually pretty good I realized.

I was going to start a thread about how I've been listening to Paul Simon, James Taylor, John Denver, Wings, The Carpenters, and various others who I used to make fun of and say were crap my whole life. (well, I've always loved John Denver) I've come to realize that they actually have some amazing work and I wonder if I started getting into them BECAUSE of the state of music today.

Either way, I guess I can be thankful that most music I hear today sucks ass because I've been forced to keeping digging and continue discovering music I missed out on because I wrote off certain artists as cheesy.


Please let the day NEVER come though when music is so horrendous, that I have to say, for example, that Celine Dion or Nelly were geniuses back in their day.

I was listening to the Prince albums that I poked fun at and it is ATWIAD Lovesexy, and Parade

and even ATWIAD and Parade are masterpiece compared to crap that's out today.

I also listened to Lovesexy and that album started to grow on me.

dewalliz said:

But . . . Parade and Lovesexy ARE masterpieces in their own right.

ATWIAD was an interesting album with 2 masterpieces featured on it.

namepeace said:

Hey let's not get a bit confused here.

I said ATWIAD, Parade, and Lovesexy are masterpiece compared to music that is out today.
But I didn't say that they are masterpiece compared to the stuff that prince did before 1984 or other type of music before 2000.
aight???

namepeace said:

I always preferred ATWIAD to Lovesexy myself.

dewalliz said:

i gotcha. but they are classics per se.

namepeace said:

no denying that. and prince has my biggest respect for doing those type of albums too.

Exactly. It's long overdue.

I always adjusted to the different changes. I adjusted from disco, to funk, then to house. The house turned into techno where it's so fast that you would have to be strung out on drugs to dance to it. Everything else slowed down to a snail's pace. It ain't even got to be funk...hell, give me a new form of music then...something you can at least dance to. Every decade had that until the 1990s came along.

I know exactly what you mean. During the 1980s, I was so heavy into funk that I never listened to much rock. When hip hop took over R&B, I took all the current R&B stations off my dial and switched over to pop/rock stations. I was doing fine for awhile until the accoustical/folk sounding stuff started invading it. I started going back and discovering groups I never cared before before and came to love The Carpenters. I don't think I'm desperate enough for John Denver yet.

Jamiroquai, Incognito, Tonex, Brand New Heavies and to some degree Prince is keeping the funk torch burning.

haha TOTALLY, Janfan

Whenever I see them now, I don't even bother to open the threads.

vainandy said:

Yeah, I know. I was just diggin' at you a bit.

This discussion is kind of funny because of the way I look at it I guess.
I never have a problem finding "new" music to hear.

Maybe it's because there's so much music I haven't heard yet and the way I see it, until i've heard it, it's new to me.
That's whether it was created in 1906 or 2006. Just a different point of view.
