Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

I was anxious to see what all the other posters considered to be good music. I wanted to see if there was any common ground to engage in a discussion of muisic.

I don't see any common ground. The list submitted by Ohnwy61 just confirms it even more. This is not a criticism just the truth. I am sure most of you would find my taste equally incomprehensible.

Other than Amy Winehouse, I have to confess, I have never even heard of these people, let alone, heard them. And to think that this is the best of the best? Wow! I will conclude that I am out of touch.

But, since we have LPs and CDs, we can all listen to the stuff we like. Past or present.

Now that Tiger has finished hitting the ball all over Pennsylvania, I think I will try to chill with a little grape and Bach.

He is old school, like me. :) Bach, you know, that old German dude. No, No, he didn't play with the Stones.

Cheers
