PLEAE DON'T HURT ME!!!

Janet Jackson

Madonna

Mariah Carey

Britney Spears

The entire shit hop genre.

Cliff Richard, please God. You don't know how much we suffer in the UK.

i've learn a great lesson over the years about music i deem crass. I don't pay attention to it, really are you going to change that artist career, are your words really going to bring down a genre, NO! futile! go read, or listen to better music..blah..blah..blah.

Wishful thinking

I think there is a market for any of the mentioned artists. If i do not like an artist, I just change the channel.

You are what you listen.
You are what you watch.
You decide what you listen to and there is no need to retire artists you do not like.
Easy.

Thats my attitude too.

All this talk about "End shit hop" is energy wasting. I don't have ANYTHING I don't like in my house, period.

My collection is a reflection of my love for music. I only collect artists that to me are valuable, in whatever way.

People are so adament in their dislikes here sometimes it becomes stale to some. It's often a hate-fest in here, not even about the music. And people bitching tells way more about them than it taints the artist the are dissing.

I mean, it's all so highschool. I have stuff of every artist mentioned up til now, except Usher. That is not a reflection on Usher, just that he does not make music that appeals to me.

There's no changing the channel. Any R&B station that plays current music is overrun with shit hop. If you change the channel, you get the exact same thing, just a different station. The only other alternative for R&B is the oldies stations, which is what I keep my dial on. However, there is plenty of need for bitching because no good new R&B gets made when everyone just keeps tuned to oldies stations and keeps their mouths shut about the current state of R&B. The problem is, there is not enough people bitching.

So start your own station.

Or leave that radio OFF and play yer own music. Make compilations for yourself and yer friends.

Thats what I do too.

After 2003, I turned off every mainstread radio channel(minus Wendy Williams show, coz its one of my guilty pleasures).

Fact is, I rarely listen to radio at all, which made it easier for me to brush it off.

My Ipod is my radio and stereo. I play it in my house, when I go I hook it up in my car's speaker and when I get off I take it with me.

Andy, you should do the same.

Start my own station? Hell, I can't even afford a home computer let alone a radio station.



That's exactly what I do but I long for good new music. And as far as searching the deepest oceans and climbing the highest mountains to find it, that's what I don't want. Good music needs to be in the mainstream. A lot of folks my age could care less because they are married and have kids. As a gay man, I have no wife and sure as hell don't want no damn kids.

I had planned on partying until I was too damn old to party. Little did I know that the younger generation would slow things down to a senior citizen tempo. A nightclub is just a pickup joint to me now. If I don't get lucky for the evening, there's nothing coming from the speakers to entertain me.

I can't even listen to talk shows straight away, I've been listening to nothing but CDs for a good minute.

As for who I think should retire, not really retired but hip-hop and R&B needs to have a nasty divorce from each other.

BEYONCE!!



Smooches;)

vainandy said:

Even that is being polluted with that crap. Mixed in with that you'll get some shit hop n R&B new songs and as those songs, as well as others that haven't made their way over, get older...where will they end up

This garbage is everywhere like a bad smell.

We should have Org Radio. You could have yer own show.

I'ld have an 'all over the place'-show, like radio used to be before commercialism hit the fan. We'd have radion playing Michael Jackson, Van Halen, Dutch songs, Italian songs, pushing people's musical borders. It's one of the reason why my music taste got so diverse.

Unfortunately, that's not going to happen though because the record labels see how cheap it is to make and they are not about to spend more and decrease their profits. I hope all the downloading and friends making copies for their friends becomes the downfall of the record labels and runs them bankrupt. I encourage young people to make copies for friends because every copy they make is less money for the label and the shitty artist that didn't deserve a recording contract to begin with.

We have this one station in my area, a Clear Channel station of course, that started out as a decent R&B oldies station. However, they only played the R&B songs that were crossover hits and they played the same songs over and over. They started out as strictly 60s and 70s R&B but after their format got stale from overplaying everything, they added 80s R&B which was fine but it was still the crossover R&B and they overplayed the same songs just like they did with the 60s and 70s.

Instead of correcting the problem by adding jams that weren't crossover hits (the best jams never crossed over), they started including pop/rock and played those same songs over and over. Now, every once in a while, I hear a 90s song on their station and that's when I have to change the channel because I can't even stand to be in the same room with most 90s music.

P. Diddy... does he count; is he still an artist?
Britney
J. Lo - please just raise your kids...please

no one. the music industry needs all the help in sales and turning a profit it can get these days. artists that are still inspired, still feel like they are on a journey, and more importantly, the fans that enjoy them should all be allowed to keep on. there are so many artists who wish they could keep going...but no one wants to hear them.

1. Michael Jackson
2. Janet Jackson
3. Stevie Wonder
4. Patti Labelle
5. Aretha Franklin
6. Madonna
7. Whitney Houston* (we'll see what she does on her next cd)
8.Prince

No more new shit; just perform your old songs.

Amen.

clears throat You could expand you horizons a bit. There's a whole musical world out there beyond R&B. Don't knock it 'til you try it, and all.

Who knows? There might just be a country fan lurking deep inside you.
