is anyone else as tired of it as me?

I don't listen to oldies but goodies. I don't listen to classic rock, I don't even listen to the alternative music that I was once so into. It's all too noisy, and I am trying to relax. I've been listening to a lot of Bach and Mozart lately, and music from other countries, like India and Egypt. I call it my 'Temple Music'. But this post has somehow reminded me of one of my most favorite songs of all time, and I'm going to have to post the lyrics here, sorry, but I can't resist. They go like this: All around this wide country the winter it has now begun. Now is the time to slip away from the California sun. To a place where a man can be free as the wind as wild as the huskies cry, Now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky. Now there comes a time to every man when he must turn his back on the crowd. When the glare of the lights gets much too bright and the music plays too loud. When a man must run from the deeds he has done recalling those days with a sigh now winter is nigh let us fly to my log cabin home in the sky-eee! Yeah, I would never pay 20 bucks for a CD when the likelihood of finding more than 1 or 2 songs on it that I enjoyed was only a very remote possibility. (Unless I knew in advance that I liked most of what was on it.) I way prefer file sharing, unless I stumble on an artist that I like enough of what they do to spend the money on an entire CD. It's an economically viable solution to the problem of all the bad music being churned out these days, in my opinion.

I am so tired of it.That's why I am replacing all of my music with classical one.That and I want to seem cultivated to people.No joke.

I have always been a fan of the music before the mid 60's If you realy listen to most of the music after that,you will find that it is mostelly the old songs,classical,western,or cultural songs that have been speeded up to change the sound and mash the lericks. and the beetles were actually the first to start this manner of so called music,and that trend has continued up to now. of course some are getting smarter,and I am not talking that rap cr*p,I am talking the ones that have the music so loud,that you can't understand any of the words to the songs anyhow. thanks for the discussion.

yeah they pick like a couple songs that they know will be a big hit and just put them on the radio and forget bout the other ones so when people buy the cd they dont really care for the other song. i bet they would make more money if they played more of thier songs than just a couple from the album.

Hehehe..You're looking at a child of the Woodstock generation and grew up in the 60s and 70s and yup, think that "our" music was the best. There are some groups or singers/musicians though that I think are "worthy"--like David Arkenstone, Enya...also love Nickelback--so music isn't all THAT bad today....uh, can't stand rap though..LOL

I love the old rock so much. I am 51 tho and I also have found some newer stuff that I still listen to. Cinderella, tessella, Puddle of mud, nickleback, metallica, Live, Audio slave, Greenday, 3 doors down, Stained just to name a few are awesome bands. I think I would get very tired of listening to just the old stuff. Maybe you are just listening to the wrong stations on your radio.

A majority of music these days seems to be like that. I don't call those people musicians, they are just performers. It is sad when a person can get caught lip synching and people don't even care and feel that this manufactured music is acceptable. 15 years ago, people got very upset. That said, there is real, quality music being made today by real, talented musicians. You just have to do more work to find it than simply turning on the radio. Bands like System of a Down and Weezer are making real music (well, it's been a few years for Weezer. But you get the idea. You have to actively seek out real music and weed through all the manufactured stuff, which can be pretty tough.
