Decade the music died?

[Indeependent]

I think people like Katie Perry ruined music.

You mean Partridge Family music?
Or every song's lyric = eat me out?

Great music will last for ages.....think of Classical Music.....think of Jazz....and many other kind of music that is very present in today's world even after all that time.

Bad music dies quickly though.

Look at Mary J blige. After all these years Performing at the Super Bowl with dre, snoop and Eminem

The contracts between artists, record companies and publishers has destroyed music.

The partridge pop shit. I like I kissed a girl and I liked it.

I also liked it and then every song after that had that slant; quite boring after a while.

To find good new music we all may have to find the small venues and clubs. My and my Date in the late 70s were in a small jazz club with less the 6 patrons and had the privilege of hearing Pat Methena now a well-known Jazz guitarist for the price of a drink and a bowl of peanuts.

They just don't make 'em like Muskrat Love and Afternoon Delight these days.

Colter Wall - kind of a mixture between Johnny Cash and something cold. Saskatchewan Canada kind of cold. When Covid shut down all of his tours, he started working at a real ranch. More country than any US country out there.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drpdrQq8c98

The Dead South - another one of those mixtures between what the hell is this and Bluegrass on crack. Another one from Saskatchewan Canada.

Shakey Graves - came out 9 years ago but I only discovered him this year. Sadly, this was his best and ending work.
The Hu. What do you get when you cross heavy metal with Mongolia throat singing?

A whole new experience. Damn this is good and unique music.
Steve'n'Seagull. What happens when you mix old style heavy metal, bluegrass with a Finnish band? Magic

In this Moment. OK, not exactly easy listening class but a always in the mix


OLTP from the pits of the left but still a great easy listen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CldmMrON3Vs
Tyler Childers - southern, old, modern
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtVrDud1gZM
Old Leatherstocking/Clifton Hicks. For something really, really old but really new, all at the same time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U36NlAOhgCY
Ballad of Kyle Rittenhouse - sounds like it is somewhere between 300 years old and brand new.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVYFu57T58c
Willi Carisle - saw him in concert in my town last summer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjMqgWvlt-0

There is so much old, new, weird good music available that it is almost too easy to find something great to listen to.

Colter Wall - reminds me of Country Blues sound. I like it.

I have loved blues for decades, country not so much but Colter Wall is a whole new experience. Same with some of my other favorites like The Dead South, The Hu, Clifton Hicks, Tyler Childers while keeping in my favorite screaming kind of music.
Yeah, I might be weird. I always have to make sure that I turn it to a neutral musical choice before my wife gets in the car. She experienced almost a aggressive big no when Steve'n'Seagull playing Thunderstruck through my car [even worse when I showed her the video] and the questions of 'what did I marry' when The Hu started playing.

If you think that music ended the year you graduated from high school, you might still be wearing a mullet....

 

[CrusaderFrank]

The late 90s brought in Rap and music died.

My sons friends thought it was hysterical when I would drive them and I'd play Eminem.

My kids also grew up knowing all the words to Zappa's "Cheepnis", they turned out pretty good

The new music market is actually shrinking. All the growth in the market is coming from old songs.

Just consider these facts: the 200 most popular tracks now account for less than 5% of total streams. It was twice that rate just three years ago. And the mix of songs actually purchased by consumers is even more tilted to older music—the current list of most downloaded tracks on iTunes is filled with the names of bands from the last century, such as Creedence Clearwater and The Police.

Is Old Music Killing New Music?

All the growth in the music business now comes from old songs—with consumption of new music actually shrinking. How did we get here, and is there a way back?

Sound about right? I know I cant name too many new songs. The ones I can are all country.

With all the American Idol type shows music got over saturated. And when people look up who did the original songs being covered on these shows they realize the original is 99.9% always better.

 

[Ringtone]

The Beatles are still the best pop band ever.

Think more than a couple stars got their start on Idol. Remember some teen girl who did a Bieber song much better than the original.

I guess it's inevitable. Once you've produced loads of good stuff, when the new stuff comes out it needs to be original (which means not anything like what came before, which gets harder and harder) and it needs to be good.

In the past you could produce rubbish and it'd sell, because it was better than classical music or something. Now if it's not good they'll go listen to good stuff from another time.

Being "cool" is one of the ways to make money now. And "cool" just doesn't last over time.

cool is cool over time.

We get "IceT" pretending to be a cop ("fuck the police" rap) pretending to be a COP on a TV show, doing adds for Car shield. Can't make this shit up.

 

[evenflow1969]

Yes; there were a scant few truly talented Rappers.
The problem is that the Top 100 became Rap regardless of quality.

Lol, fuck rap.

 

[frigidweirdo]

cool is cool over time.

But it's not. It changes. Sometimes cool has to change otherwise it isn't cool.
