Most people that have made suggestions to me by word of mouth, have suggested stuff that I don't like. When I say there is no good actual "music" out there and they recommend something, it is usually "music" but it is slow boring music. I grew up throwing down hard and I don't lower my standards down to "dull" just because the majority of the world has.

As for independent record stores, I have had a few people recommend stuff to me that was decent but these artists aren't in the record stores (at least not in my area). A few years ago, someone recommended a group called Chromeo and that CD is not in any store in my area.


or even listen before I buy through an online vendor.


I don't have the luxury of listening online. I only have internet at work and it has blocks on all media players. As for listening at home, if someone out there is willing to pay for me an internet service with a high enough speed to listen to this music, I will be glad to take it. lol

I feel your pain. Try subscribing to satellite radio. That may help

I know and old school music is why I'm here. I wouldn't be caught dead listening to dull new shit. It's all as slow as classical music and I'm not 86 years old.

and it is funny because usually the older crowd complains here about music sucking these days.....and you are 19! how come i am still finding out about new music and you are not? don't give up hope young one.....you will find it


Excuse me, but I haven't been 19 in over 19 years. I'm 41. You are thinking of someone else.


and there you have it....."dull new shit" pretty much sums up what you can expect to hear from this guy about music these days

so in other words, even though you are 19 you sound like this vaindaddy guy who is 41 and does not know good new music when he hears it, so he just complains

I agree. I haven't really listened to the radio in years. I do like Jennifer Hudson though. She's the only in the game right now who can really sing. I read the article in Sister 2 Sister and Jaime asked her about the album cover. People were making comments that they tried to make her look slimmer. She was the cover is what it is. (I think it looks nice.) Nobody is saying anything about the artist who used auto tune. (I didn't know what that was, but it apparently correct tunes if the artist can't hit the note right.) She said she wasn't going to call any names, but that should be a bigger issue than her weight. I agree. I don't care for the pop scene. What happen to the real singers, the real soul? Where are the Patti Labelles, Chake Khans, Teena Maries? You have artists like Anthony Hamilton, Musiq, even Maxwell, who to me are some of the most talented brothers out there, but these are the ones who may only sell one million if that. I don't get it. Then you have the Sean Kingstons, who sound horrible and will mess up a Ben E King classic with that stupid song he did, but have a worldwide hit. I give up!!!!

Well, to me music has been sucking since 1998. But I don't bother with the mainstream anyways. I don't even deal with the radio. As Dead Prez (a Hip-Hop group who is good proving that this genre should not be the scapegoat of why music is bad today) once said: "TURN OFF YOUR RADIO!!! TURN OFF THAT BULLSHIT!!!"

I already have too large of a music collection to even bother with the radio. So fuck it, I'd rather listen to Heatwave.
biggrin

I'm 19 and this may seem weird, but i cannot stand listening to todays music, im forced to hear it in the car with my dad and step-mom. I usually just listen to Prince & MJ. But most of todays music is made by computers and i think they all sound a little similar to eachother. I was in the livingroom the other day and my step-mom turned on the TV and Lil-Wayne was on and he was showing his "Bling Bling" or w/e u wanna call it, and he was talking about sumone suckin on a lollipop and he had his pants down to his knees. WHERE in the HELL did Class go? I think sum of the best music was made in the 80's, and theres a few acts I like today, like Marroon 5,Alicia Keys,& Outkast.


Thats exactly how I feel but I;m 14 lol...
my mom may even be on this forum lmao

how does this thread continue and the 19 year old is not even involved?

they should change this thread title to "Music on the Org Sucks these days"

kind of fitting this thread is near Britney, MJ, Janet and Beyonce threads

the local Top 40 station for whatever reason has cut back on the shit hop just a little, and I'm pretty happy about it.

I'm actually liking some of these songs I'm hearing now:
Untouched
Paper Planes
American Boy

Yep. Daddy is right. I'm the banana split daddy with the candy nuts. It's always better to sound like a daddy than a grand-daddy though. If someone actually likes todays music, which is all as slow as classical music, they would sound like a grand-daddy.

As for the 19 year old....hey....sounds like he's got good sense to me. evillol
