Glancing across the top 10 on Itunes it's all annoying 80's synth bubblegum Hip-Hop / Dance shit. Not a single rock song. Am I just being a nostalgic old fart or was music a lot better in 2006?

Nobody plays their own instruments, and if the singers aren't African American they're imitating African Americans. I've got nothing against them, I just hate that there's no variety anymore.

I just went on to get some new songs for my Ipod, and I ended up getting Fleetwood Mac. Fucking Fleetwood Mac. That's what modern music has driven me to.

HMMM

i feel your pain dude. what happened to hard rock? and not this crap that claims to be rock (green day, 3 doors down, etc.) but real rock (The beatles, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Cinderella, Iron Maiden, etc.

now its nothing but crap that doesnt even uses instruments.

Rattle your head. Listen to my music.

What sort of music DO you like? Because the top 10 on iTunes wont be the best if you like (what i call) good music. Depending on what music you like i know a couple 'o' goood bands.

So naive.

i agree that most mainstream music is shit these days, but it doesn't really need to effect you. i mean if you don't like the song, turn it off. if you would rather listen to the old classic, buy a CD. just leave the shit artists to wallow in their pitiful ass-drippings and hopefully one day they'll wake up and realise just how gay they really are.

That's because the least talented musicians get the most attention.

So your saying music has only been getting bad since 2006?

There are still tons of great songs being made, you just have to look past iTunes top 10

I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they would greet me with cries of hate.

Only mainstream music is shitty, I guarentee that you'll be able to find some decent underground bands if you try looking for them.

You're bound to the mainstream. Stop being lazy and actually look for music you like instead of relying on MTV to make music for you.

Urban Voodoo Machine put out their first album this year, and it's awesome. 2009 has been pretty dry compared to 2008, though.

There's always good music being made, there's just never good music in the top 10.

Haven't gotten around to listening to them yet...then again, I'm not into the whole proggy thing. *shrugs*

Megadeth's New Album is ripping though.

Though 90 percent of new music is shit, that doesnt really matter, because there are still a TON of good bands out there. As long as there are those few that i can listen to, i'l be happy.

Streetlight and Tool are ausome.

I agree, all of the "cool" music today is total shit. You can't even listen to a normal radio station anymore without hearing some wanna be hood rat singing about pimping hoes.

Make a mix tape of people who play in the street and subways. They're more original than any mainstream band or person today.

You should check out some underground death metal bands. I could name a shitload for you. My favorites are bloodbath and opeth. There also is degrade, cannibal corspe, amon amarth, Nile, and some other sweet shit. Also alice and chains have a new album out called a looking in the view. It has some great songs on it. Just because metal isnt popular dosent mean you should whine and complain about modern music. Im pretty sure we will get our turn again soon. Just be patient.

Not everything has to be rock. Bizzare you berate them for lack of variety.

You know damn well that if it was nothing but rock you'd be sitting there all pleased and plumped with your thumb your ass.

You can call them black btw.
