Music for 2022- Is It Just Me Or?..

Hello All!

December is now here and I realize that I have not purchased as much music this year. Being a Redbook guy I normally buy an average of 150-200 titles a year. So far this year-30 (and it’s not for lack of looking). I’m getting another order ready and have only 25 titles that want to own so far.

So- I wanted to put this question out to the group to see if it’s just me thinking this or if others feel the same- 

Have you found 2022 do be a boring year when it comes to new and interesting music?

Not talking about reissued “one more for the road” stuff.

Right? After reading your post I did a lookup on these songs. Beyoncé and “Her future husband Jay Z” is how it came up- Yay! So I watched the first 10 seconds and shut it off. Next onto Saucy Santana (whom I had never heard of and hope to not ever again) and I was utterly speechless. I shut it off after 10 seconds as well but unfortunately I will never be able to “unsee” what I was exposed to.

There is no denying that current mainstream pop music is pure and utter trash.

Anyone who says otherwise is lying or has no taste.

There’s certainly no denying that it’s getting increasingly difficult to find current pop music of interest.

 

I guess I’ll check out the end of year reviews that most magazines love to do and see if there’s anything of any interest there.

Dylan’s Rough and Rowdy ways remains the last album I got excited about, and that’s now over two and half years old.

Earlier today I was playing I Miss You and was thinking that’s a fairly recent song - until I realised it almost 20 years old.

It used to be that only the years went by so fast, now it seems like it’s entire decades...

Although I've experienced "dry years", I've never felt a need to post that question OP.
