These are moreso random thoughts than rants:

Michael Henderson is so underappreciated and underrated.

Video killed the radio star.

I like Disco music. What was so bad about it?

Will black bands ever make a comeback?

I agree! trust me i wasnt kidding, And dont put it past one of Girls Aloud to punch out another girl, didnt Cheryl Tweedy (girls aloud) beat down Charolette Church? I know Cheryl hit some girl at some point, and other girls are all willing to mix it up.

Im just having a wonderful image right now of Cheryl Tweedy punching Riahnna in that giant forehead of hers and knocking her out.

Agreeing 100% with you, especially with the Music Store employee thing, when i was in music retail we schooled people that took a job there, how the fuck do you not know Sly Stone, we used to test new employees with that stuff till they told us we couldnt use that to hire people.

And totally agreeing on the time period thing, i grew up (teen years) in the early 80's and that was the time to be around. Mtv actually meant Music Television

Just a few things to add to the ranting.....

No more COLLABO's
The term Producer cannot be used on Timblaland or anyone that uses Beats
Emilio Estefan needs to get some sort of Lifetime acheivement award for all he did for music and continues to do.

Mariah Carey has the Best Legs in music, all right thats not a music rant, but fuck it we all know she can sing already, if she didnt want me to check her out she wouldnt dress like that.

People need to start to realize that just because it sells in the US, the world market is far more lucrative for artists. THE USA does not rule anymore, especially musically.

I'm gonna just post some thoughts and questions,and a few rants


***Has anyone noticed that,since the Imus controversy,most of the foul-mouth rappers are missing in action? Haven't heard a word from Ludacris,Nelly and the others I wonder if they will continue writing their "bitches-niggas-and hos" lyrics?

***I never thought there would come a day when I would buy a new Prince album and the slow jams are the highlights "Future Baby Mama" and "Somewhere Here On Earth" are the only songs that I really,really like.

***I wonder when we will see a Sly Stone biopic?

***Why do some artists take five or more years to make a CD? That's ridiculous.I feel sorry for fans of D'Angelo,Eryka Badu,Maxwell,etc.

***That recent Maroon5 single stays in my head...I gotta check out their CD!

***I can't stand P.Diddy,but why am I always watching his "Making The Band" show?

***Is there any artist that Timbaland wouldn't work with? Any day now,I expect him to announce that he's producing the next Barry Manilow CD,lol.

***After Beyonce finishes her current tour,she should take a year off.These last two years,she's been all over the airwaves,on TV,on the award shows,on the movie screen.Time for a break,or people are gonna get tired of her.

"Bands" like Destiny's Child and "artists" like 50 Cent have killed the entire R&B and Hip/Hop movement, respectively...

Nowadays, Maroon 5 is easily the most enjoyable and interesting mainstream band around...

When are these dead asses going to get off their asses and make some damn jams? For a generation that likes to look and act so damn hard, all the music they listen to is as slow as the traditionally nerdy, dorky, "Waldo" type music such as classical music. Their music is also as slow as people we made fun of in the 1980s such as Barbara Streisand or Neil Diamond.

What a bunch of dull dead asses. The generation before me caught pure hell bringing harder faster music in (the rock and roll era) and getting away from slow dull shit (classical music) and these dead asses today are going backwards to the days of "slow" rather than moving forward with more hard stuff.

Anyone who says there's no great music out there has obviously never listened to Zuco 103.

You know, I recently caught this band on MTV called "hellogoodbye". They're not the musical visionaries or revolutionaries that we're all anticipating. But they do sound slightly better than half the crap they play on the station. They mix nerdy Alt-Rock/Math Rock with electronica with not-so-bad results. Think Weezer meets Chemical Brothers.

But of course, you're gonna say they suck since they're on MTV. And any act on MTV should be avoided at all costs.

Just because something is slow that dosen't mean it's boring or nerdy!
There's alot of classical type stuff and ambient music that is amazing!

It is true tho that most of the music made these days is total throwaway crap. Especially shit hop and indie stuff, it's an absolute shambles!

THE TALKING HEADS ARE NEVER GONNA REUNITE!!!!

I love some slow music. However, I hate for everything to be slow music and that's the way it is on the radio these days....everything is slow or either midtempo.

I have respect for classical music. However, I will use it as a way to piss shit hop lovers off by comparing the tempo of their music to it, because like it or not, when growing up, classical music was considered a nerdy, dorky type music and people would make fun of you if you listened to it. Most people these days, especially young people, still see classical music as nerdy and dorky. Comparing the tempo of shit hop to classical music is letting them know...."Why aren't you being made fun of for listening to something like shit hop? You should be. It's just as slow as classical music".

A duet with these 2 would be a dream come true.

If people really love music, educate yourself. I mean there's decades of music that, like history, repeats itself. To be able to look at a historic timeline, indentify what else was happening at the time, how technology and social changes influenced music is not only a good idea, it should be mandatory. Shit, you may even learn why you like what you like.

The moods of music is subjective but universal.



BTW great thread NWF

I hate Pink and Pink's music more than I hate Adolf Hitler.

Thank you.


Bono is such a ho. He likes being felt up by the crowd when he performs.

Pete Doherty is the new Sid Vicious.

Outkast needs to come back and save Hip-Hop.

I can tell you that after an awkward encounter, the lead singer from The Strokes is a dick.

The Undertones are a very underrated band from the Punk/New Wave era. I posted a thread about them that nobody bothered responding to.

Whatever happened to Jimmy's Chicken Shack?

The first Bloc Party album was better than the 2nd.

I didn't know that Me'Shell was so tiny. I swear, I can fit her in my pocket.

Subterranean on MTV2 is the only show on any of the MTV networks worth watching.

If there was a button that launch Black Eyed Peas into space, and destroy them in a controlled nuclear explosion, I would crawl over broken glass to press it.

I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS, INXS WAS A NEW WAVE BAND GODDAMMIT!

The Smiths aren't new wave. They came after. Indie
