Do you guys like Adele's music?

This thread really addresses what's changed in music tastes.

Its not a good or bad issue, it's that the "sing at the top of your lungs" has become the norm.

Adele is British, but I wonder  how she would do with something from the American songbook? Could she refrain from the dramatic screaming so typical of today's entertainers?

I highly doubt it. 

Still gotta check out imelda may, +1 on lourde and london grammer, other contemporary female singers (brought to me by my daughters) that i can enjoy are lana del ray and the haim sisters, but for me, rachel price and adrianne lenker really make me sit up and take notice.  

Cd318, maybe its lack of culture on my part, but my thick skull can’t puzzle out your dylan quote.  What is happening here? 

@thosb, I’m not too sure either.
I still remember feeling sorry for those teachers at school who seemed to have been left behind by the times. Back in the late 70s they couldn’t understand what was happening in society esp the UK. The age of empire was over and popular music made little sense to them. No way could they ever get Punk. There was no bridge available to them, nor did they look for one.

Now, several decades later I find myself barely aware of what’s happening with Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, Facebook and the rest. I followed the music charts avidly up til the late 80s but gradually lost all interest a decade later. The pleasure of finding a good chart song was gradually overwhelmed by the effort of listening to dozens of mediocre ones.

I know that artists such as (d)Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and Adelle are popular today. 
But just like Mr Jones, I can’t see why.
He only had the 60s cultural revolution to deal with, I’ve got the online version.

Does it matter? I’d say it does. We’re all social creatures and becoming isolated is no fun at all.

Well, Imelda May is remarkable.  And Brittany Howard’s latest is entrancing as well. 

Hell no
