Since I like a lot of songs that were very popular at some time in the late 60's, 70's, 80's and even to a limited degree the 90's, I can't really agree with that degree of top 40 pessimism, even though the majority of it will always have been crap. The current and the previous decade is unusual to me in that I can barely find 1 track I like in a whole year. The last top 40 hit where I admired the songwriting was probably that GOTYE song from a few years back.
Semi related: I was stunned to see how good taste average people seemed to have (so to speak - I'm not the arbiter of good taste) at this years Eurovision song contest . I thought the winner was far and away the best song in the whole mess of a show. Probably one of at best three I'd even consider above mediocre. |

I think, if we are bored of music, we should go to the nearest HMV or music store,, have a look at range of music out on shelves, have a look at takes your fancy, then go home and stream it and see what you think
If you like it, you love, if not, keep searching! Btw, current favorites are Leprous, a prog band that literally defies any musical convention you've heard, and Little Mix, a UK girl group with music so infectious and well produced that you just can't help but dance. That's what's working for me anyway Shame I can't post the links to youtube yet, but try Stuck by Leprous and Touch by Little Mix. |

I dont care what people think. Old music was best. And new bands that play in the style of old music is better than newer stuff. Even the music that I recently discovered that as made in the 00s is better what I've heard out today. Your username reminds me I have a friend who has a Glam Rock band and his band is better than any band I know and the biggest contributing factor is that he is playing Glam which is music from the glorious days of yore. So yes music was better in the glorious days of yore.

This is a really interesting video on this topic. Apologies if it's already been posted. It's 20 minutes, but worth the time.
