Why Music Has Lost it’s Charms (Article)

Well the good news is with streaming now especially there is way more good music already out there and accessible to anyone who cares already than I will ever be able to listen to. It would take me 98 days and 19 hours to just listen to all 30 some thousand tracks in my digital library once. Then there is the 100s of albums on the shelf. Then there is qbuz Spotify, internet radio and such. I better get busy! Then, I might have time left to watch a movie or two.

Shazam,  streaming is the key, so much good music made in recent decades, just not in commercial releases. I'm sure at least 25% of listening 2010-now releases.

At  17  years i knew that rock was garbage and killing the Big Band that was at the height of American Music .

Music of romance died for "music"  of lust and dope which has done much evil 

to our society  , been there KNOW  that !

Meh? Music is so varied and diverse that if you’re glued into a specific genre it might be hard to find “new” bands that are becoming modern standards. But there is no shortage of great music being produced.
 

I discover a lot of music through NPR Tiny Desk, So Far sessions and KEXP. 
There is a bit of something for everyone there. That said this is my main issue with “audiophiles”. I love listening to stuff that makes me feel something. Something that is fun. With all due respect to the fantastic Miss Krall, it would bother me a bit if I never heard her stuff on a reference system ever again. 

Although this isn’t 96khz/24bit skookum-ness, I’d rather listen to these ladies on a reference system because it makes me feel something. There is plenty out there……

There is plenty of good new music out there, but I listen to my old favorites 90% of the time.
