That just adds to my point. Can't even tell motherfuckers apart because they all sound alike. I wish these guys would stop trying to sound like Michael Fucking Jackson.

I love his music but when The Weeknd sings...sounds like he's about to jump off a building every time.

I don't even know who they are. I am not up to date at ALL with any thing current. I focus more on making my own music. Yes, I'm one of those types

Go on - us music makers need time for ourselves too.

For those that's complaining ask yourself this...who signed these "wack" acts?...who signed off on that "wack" song?

None of these acts would see the light of day just a decade ago.You now have industry people that have no clue about talent evaluation (hence all sounds are the same)and are only concerned about moving units...

Just look at the roster of acts for Island/Def Jam and compared the acts to the acts "before" Russel Simmons sold it...that just an example

Do the same with BET and their programming "before" Viacom bought and it's programming afterwards...it's actually scary..

So yall can argue about age,instruments(absolutely idiotic) and other nonsense, it's a good read ....but it's deeper than that

Also "Timmy New Music Thread" is a great thread of great new music by talented people most are under 30 so age isn't the culprit....songs are fresh and innovative and good mixture of live instrumentation and electric instrumentation...

I suggest we all go through that thread and then ask yourself "Why can't they get signed?" and then think of my previous post

Im not sure why people below the age of 30 complain about threads like this on a forum that is dedicated to a artist who is OVER 50. ...

So yes their going to be old ass music being talked about and yes their going to be old people complaining about the state of music

The primary users here for the most part are within the age range of Prince or well over 30, or their taste is not geared toward what is current... so of course their are going to be threads like this from time to time because music has changed so much. If some rather not talk about topics like this in threads ....then dont. Just like I find the constant Rihanna, Chris Brown and Beyonce threads annoying as hell but dont respond in them if I dont want to...Otherwise, just go to another forum that caters to current music since that seems to be an issue here for some...

Its funny because there are way more threads on Beyonce, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Usher, Katy Perry, etc here more so than an artist like Marvin, James, The Time, Stevie, etc... I would think on a Prince site there would be more of that particular era or other music in general....

What IS boring is people constantly complaining about why people have criticism on todays music like it doesnt get talked about here.. when it does ... ALOT more than the oldies.

Well said
