Is today’s contemporary music lacking?
Guess I'll Google how to find good contemporary music. Any suggestions welcome. Streaming is the way to find good new and old music. You want a controller app or software that makes suggestions for music that you may like based on the music you listen to. Roon and Innuos are good at this from what I've read. |
The same three guys write all the songs. Do a search you will see. Do another, find the same few chords used over and over again. Don't even get me going on the lyrics. Then go find Sinatra-Basie. Listen to the whole album. There's a reason why a whole room of audiophiles sat spellbound through a whole side of this, and could talk of little but their amazement for a good while after. "Music" today is big business, and the music industry has settled on the business model of McDonald's. Stream. Sheesh. You want fries with that? |
@kennyc: On other threads, bdp24 and I have suggested Americana as a genre that features many highly talented musicians and singer-songwriters. PM me and I will do my best to point you in some directions to explore. @millercarbon: You are correct, in terms of major record labels that were long ago taken over by bean-counters. The fast-food analogy is spot on. However, if you are suggesting that this has resulted in the eradication of worthwhile music, I'd strenuously disagree. |
Hopefully this doesn't cross a line but here goes. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/female-vocals-stunning-recordings-you-lov... There is almost 60 pages of female artists new and old and most have a YouTube video associated so you can get a taste what then performer sounds like. I spent weeks here and discovered quite a few new favorites. I was so enthralled with the site I spent almost a whole day cataloging the artists and the page they're found on (page 50) While Pop may be awful there is still a lot of good music being produced today. Long live steaming :) |
