Hell, I'm not busting your chops. I'll wager you're much more familiar with the music scene than I; I being a strictly "I know what I like" kind of guy and tend to stay out of arguments about whether Eric Clapton or Weird Al Yankovic was more important to modern rock music. I was just making a point that, while I agree there's a metric assload of fluff music out there, I don't think it spells the end of modern civilization or anything.

seriously natural, don't bother, your vote wouldn't count anyway

I second varrus' comment, how dare you guys keep on topic in a thread here!

[/sm]/sarcasm off

Styles,

Please do yourself a favor and delve into some good music that got overlooked by the mainstream before 1990. There are tons of great bands/people out there that never got recognized before recently.

Here's a great site for obscure old and new music. It'll all be "new" to you.

http://www.aquariusrecords.org/

Enjoy!

What do you call a musician with no girlfriend?























Homeless.

OH MY GOD. LIKE I HAVE HEARD OF PROBABLY 1% OF THE STUFF I HAVE ALREADY SEEN ON AQUARIUS' SITE.

*Tears of joy*

I am going to buy so much music today.

And they will definately get it

That is awesome and if it is true then I envy you in some sort of way.



What part of it is "musical snobbery". I am simply stating that yeah sure in the past there was always the easy sells, but never ever ever was it in this glorified platinum record overload that it is today.





Yeah something strikes that as okay with you. How record companies just toss out well put together demo packs that these groups whether they be solo, an actual group, songwriters, or managers that worked really hard to go through all the channels and can't even get a look.



Yeah that is a little off the mark about me. I enjoy music with every part of me I can. You know what I would just like to see the future of music a little brighter than what it looks like to me today.

And I am not a "goth" I am a 24 year old painter that entertains dilusions of grandeur so to speak in wanting to write totally ground breaking music that might actually do the industry and the world in general some good by giving them something that says, "hey this is talented insightful composition with lyrics that you can relate to on a deeper more meaningful level." That is all I am trying to say.

No it is totally out of our hands nowadays. Sure there is always the local scene, but there is nothing more upsetting than seeing a totally deserving group fall flat simply because they lacked the Pizazz in the producers eyes, like that will really translate what public opinion would be.

Nobody is getting a shot, and if you think that this is not going to hurt the industry over time then you are sorely mistaken. You just lack the foresight.

Damnit would you listen before you run off at the mouth.

I am simply stating that this is the way it was for me since I was growing up. We have seen leaps and bounds in music for the history of music sure. I have also been alive for a good part of the growth of music. I also don't care what other people like. Like whatever you want. People dig the Cure. I don't really get into it. I like alot of Radiohead from the middle of their career.

What I am saying is that music in general is becoming more of this **** and less of the good. If you can't see it I am sorry. GFY by the way. That **** is not very nice. I am guilty of being a prick too but only when I am attacked in such a childish manner as that.


So you think someone like Elvis was a crutch to music.

To think that I don't understand how publicity in music works could'nt be further from the truth. ALL I AM SAYING IS LOOK HOW FAST THIS CAME ON. ALSO LOOK AT THE RATIO OF MUSIC THAT IS PUT OUT ON SOLE STUPIDITY ALONE.

Look I love all kinds of music. Genre to Genre. There is just becoming less and less innovative music that I feel like wasting my time with. I don't prefer to live in the past. I would just like to see a little more attention paid to detail and talent.

Also Timberlake is not a notorius Lip Syncher.

That is another problem I have. If you are going to be a vocalist and a performing musician you better not be a auto-tune baby and learn to recreate your studio performance to some extent then just singing to a track.


PS:

I am listening to muse right now as a matter of fact.

They must be overjoyed.

Juvenile huh. Look nobby You are right I got alot of time left on this earth. I am sure I will see alot more than you. And I am no where near worried about how successful these mickey mouse club reject are. So what, their success is IMO ill gotten.

I am also learning as I go as far as my musical knowledge is concerned. I am not trying to debate the history of music as that would be a losing battle for me. I am simply trying to debate the sorry state of the public appeal that is this debauchle that is music these days. Nothing your apparently geezer *** says is going to change my opinion about it either.

My career is not failed by the way. I have just begun. Things look promising.

I think you'll find it has.

A musician with prejudices instead of ears has as much chance of success as a one legged man in an **** kicking competition.

I think prejudice in musicianship is the most important thing ever. How do you think the greatest music gets written. By deserving talented artists that say "you know what. ***** this commercial ***********

Besides all the regurgatated crap that I just cannot deal with is all looped and sampled anyways.

Still my love is in original rock. I get to play with outstanding, mind blowing artists often and these are the good times.

So thanks nobby for your input.


[EDIT] Also I have ears dude. LOL I love alot of music. I think you are mistaking what I said as I hate all music these days. Which is wrong. I just hate the overpopularity of trash.
