Good music is dead

I just post it here because I really agree with this. You know, today's music is so disposable. Well, that's what I think.



Good music is dead


I READ Martin Vengadesan’s column, The summer hits (and misses) (Music Myths & Legends, Variety, June 22) and I had a great laugh. It reminded me of the days I had to endure the torture of listening to those crappy tunes on a bus, in a shopping mall or at a school event.
Anyway, all I can say about today’s music is that there is no sincerity let alone originality. I may not have the best taste or knowledge but one thing I know is that I am not inspired by what I hear today, both locally and internationally.
We used to have tons of great bands up to the 1990s but since 2000, everyone has been just too obsessed about being different. To put it simply, today’s musicians are trying too hard, which is why you don’t feel any sincerity or inspiration.
You can listen to Led Zeppelin many years from now, but can you listen to Linkin Park in 20 years to come, or Maroon 5, or Avril Lavigne, or that stupid Ashley Simpson? And, yeah, the list goes on.

It' funny that the critic mentioned led zeppelin, because when they first came out critics had a field day accusing them of ripping off black music (blues) with their LACK of originally to become popular, I like when people have rose coloured glasses.

The person also mentions "great bands up to the1990's" LIKE WHO ? POISON?

Agreed.

I guess good music is harder to find these days.

It's just that genres like punk, blues, r&b can only be fresh once, you'll never get the same feeling as the first time you heard it.

Who say's during a 2000's retro show 20 years from now they won't be playing "girlfriend" just as 90's retro shows play "i'm to sexy" by right said fred.

Generally, I find most (with honourable exception) new bands to be rubbish... and I blame the Arctic Monkeys success on a string of extremely poor imitators... ironic, considering The Libertines pre-date the Arctics and did what they're doing now years earlier and The Smiths pre-date even them.
Personally, I'm terribly old fashioned music wise -perhaps that's why I don't embrace new bands as much- so I'd say it's fairly safe to say that I'll be listening to at the very least a similar type of music in 20 years time.

I'm not fickle, though, and I would like to think that the Avril songs that I personally regard as 'classics' will still be in my rotation then... also, I'd like to hope that she's added many, many more classics to the list 20 years down the line...
I think when they wrote the History Of Rock 'n' Roll, Avril will probably be just buying a copy... but I'd like to believe that she'd make at least a dent...
