Why does most new music suck?

Goose,

If you look at the Radio Paradise listener ratings, I think you'd find a correlation between older tunes (ie those regarded by the programmers as "classic" to some extent) and the highest scores in that they have withstood the test of time. Most older tunes that retain airtime score very high, but newer tunes do also but to a lesser extent. As time mvoes on, I think one would find this trend continues, and the more recent tunes that retain airtime will continue to rise in overall rating. New or newer tunes will still garner more of a mixed reaction, but tunes that persist on the playlist will probably improve their scores as well over time, not decrease. We'll see...

The Frogman:

Great post. That Mr Charzo is a ray of sunshine, ain't he? You took the words out of my mouth concerning the lack of logic in Mr Charzo's post. I think in his enthusiastic rush to attack me, he became confused. It seems as if he thought I was the OP.

Even though it seems as if he is in agreement with the OP. I guess he agrees with the OP, if he ain't me.

When I came on this site a few years ago , and after making a few comments, I was warned/advised, that it was not what I said, that got people upset, but how I said it. That if I wanted to 'get along' on this site I had to change my 'tone'.

I didn't understand at that time, but have since come to understand the tenor of this place. That's why I seldom venture out into the General population.

Some of these people just cannot stand the pressures of living in a democracy. Everyone claims to be 'open minded', but actually it's a very closed minded place.

Marching to a different drummer is not authorized.

Cheers.

Charzo:
I do apologize for having the temerity to discuss music on an audio site.

Let me hasten back to the saftey of O-10's Jazz thread.

Cheers

Rok, stick around; as Ray said to Betty: "Baby, it's cold outside"

Martykl, re Amelia Curran: now we're talking! Thanks. Actually, my wife will love her; I'll check her out. Amelia, that is; my wife, I have already checked out :-)

Doesn't suck!
