«Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato


He know better than me. He is a musician and i am not.  I dont listen contemporary lyrics anyway, they are not all bad for sure, but what is good enough  is few waves in an ocean of bad to worst...

I will never dare to claim it because i am old, not a musician anyway,  i listen classical old music and world music and Jazz...

And old very old lyrics from Franco-Flemish school to Léo Ferré and to the genius  Bob Dylan Dylan...

Just write what you think about Beato informed opinion...

I like him because he spoke bluntly and is enthusiast musician ...

Anyone with ears knows Joni, Paul, and Gordon have no equal.

Be sure to keep your dial glued to the oldies stations so that you will never have anything to compare with.  

Ahhh...! ’Time in a bottle’ I told you I’m getting older!

Actually, @tyray , at the time your post made me think of those lyrics (". . . memories can be friends . . .") I could not remember the name of the song.  I did a google prior to that post, and the song title was Recently, and I just did another google, and that was released on the I Got A Name album.  Which, as an aside, may have been the first cassette tape I ever bought, when I was a teenager, for my "stereo, which was a little portable cassette player.  However, I also thought that  Photographs And Memories was a pretty good song.

@vitussl101 oddly enough, the main market for that street thug music that you so generally described are suburban white teenagers.

"Anyone with ears knows Joni, Paul, and Gordon have no equal."

True, just like anyone with ears knows that Kendrick, Kacey, and SZA have no equal. 

People argue about "taste"...

This question is not about taste if it was we can surmiss that some will defend the idea that marvel comic book beat Shakespeare and Beckett ...( i prefered marvel comic when i was under 10 )

The Beato cry was about the decreasing lyrical poetics content quality in popular chart...

Not about genres, not about tastes, not about nostalgia...

But it ask too much for people to think about why this phenomenon even exist instead they felt their taste is attacked and they argue about their innate right to their taste written in some chart ...

It is not a philosophical forum for sure but an audio one... Then i am faulty...

I apologize asking people to think ....
