is anyone else as tired of it as me?

i totally agree its still possible to find some decent music but ya few and far between.. like finding a good song from the 80s! haha and ya i hear ya on the lip sync.. milli vanilli lost their careers and actually had good music to lip sync.. brittney how ever gets away with it.. why oh why!?? haha a lot of my friends and even my wife listen to system of a down and music of that genre.. i dont mind them but not my cup of tea.. i stick to the classic rock and oldies and rarely put on something even from the 80s or 90s unless its tupac! haha anyways ya nice to see someone else with my view on this:D

id buy cd's even for the over priced 20 dollars if there was actually 20 songs worth listening to.. id pay a buck a song for sure.. but ya ive only seen a few albums in my life worth buying.. only one since 2000! (acdc released an album in 2000)

its true not ALL music is THAT bad but majority of it is crap.. whens the last time a group made a guitar riff that the entire world recognizes within seconds of hearing the first notes (such as smoke on the water by deep purple, whole lotta love by led zeppelin, back in black by acdc, etc).. nickelback is good and all but compare them with groups of yesteryear.. the beatles, black sabbath, acdc, etc whens the last time music had a revolution? rap? haha:)

Oops! I forgot the final verse:

With snow piling all round the door
and many a log on the stove
with the chickadees singing
a comforting song
I'll show it's you that I love.
Oh, let the wolves howl
they won't find us there,
by a soft oil lamp we will lie
now winter is nigh...

classical music is good for sure.. i got into that when my kids were born cuz a lot of kids music is classical.. did you know mozart wrote a good amount of the music used in childrens music these days? hah anyways ya classical is good for sure:) it doesnt even need lyrics and still it gets played hundreds of years after its origin.. much better than classic rock only surviving 30-40 years for sure

Hehehe. Yeah, all the years I watched cartoons, as a kid myself and then later with my own kids, I always just thought of the 'cartoon music' as cartoon music, like it was written for the cartoons. I was amazed when I found out that some of the world's greatest classical music was what I was hearing when watching them! The William Tell Overture is used a lot, but that's Rossini I think, not Mozart. Mozart is my favorite composer though.

hah ya classical music is all around us without our knowledge.. i guess the upper class may learn that stuff? what i know of classical music ive learned on my own with trivia and just listening to it etc.. plus i play a trumpet so i play a variety of stuff..

Hehehe. I want to play the fiddle... not the violin mind you, I want music I can tap dance to. I got one of Pappy's fiddles (my grandpa) and I'm working on the song 'Liberty'. But just when my fingers start getting calloused I allow myself to get distracted. Then I have to start all over again working up the callouses...

well after a decade or so your fingers wont get those anymore! hehe good luck with the learning though.. instruments take lots of dedication if you want to master them

nah i know their are a few good bands out there:) but the ratio of good and bad is horrible.. metallica isnt exactly new either.. one of the last of the dying bread i speak of really.. and of the other people you mentioned only greenday has made an album worth listening to from start to finish in my opinion anyways.. nickelback is more of a 2 hits per cd type group.. and puddle of mud i see on the one hit wonder show all the time but ya.. i dont listen to the radio much and when i do its usually classic rock stations cuz i dont feel like hearing all the teeny bopper songs and cover songs etc.. i like original music that wasnt ripped off or dubbed etc:D

well i dont much care if its about love or war or whatever so long as i can relate with the music.. listening to music from the 60s makes me think the world used to be a good place.. like black and white and strangers who say hello with a smile.. anywho ya i agree todays music is crap in general

my friend also made the comment when i mentioned this to her that even in new games for consoles.. guitar hero games for example are a majority of old songs with a few newer songs stuck in every once in a while.. every war/military game i know has at least one but usually a few CCR songs.. along with other classic songs that came out during the vietnam war.. and ya i agree its all about the money these days not too many artists or musicians any more:( its almost depressing

That is good observation regarding those music themes for computer games. I didn't think about it until you've mentioned it.:)

i first noticed when my wife who plays battlefield quite a bit said she'd never heard a ccr song or know who they were.. while we listened to the background music.. she now knows quite a few songs by ccr that she'd always known just didnt know who sang or whatever:D

yah the beatles did some great stuff for music its too bad they also started the excessively tiring boy band crap.. new kids on the block and back street boys etc.. sometimes these groups are made up of people who've never even met they all just happen to know how to dance or sing or maybe just have potential to learn it.. and who doesnt hate boy bands eh? haha well teeny bopper girls etc love 'em sure but do you really want your daughters looking up to them? not like they have a chance to get with out of 'em haha:)

moving on up in the world eh? nothing wrong with that:) i throw on some classical music once in a while.. i get enough of it with the kids shows and toys though so usually i stick to the oldies
