Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

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
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!

I happen to love Rok's style. As far as the op's concerned, I think we can take license to extend his query to all genres since it applies to all. It's already been made clear but just to state it, 'new' music is not a genre. Youtube examples are mediocre to bad at best. I still want to see the list of the new 'Greats' as it were. Musicianship is irrelevant to this question imo. Good musicians are a dime a dozen(no offense, but no exaggeration either). Some of the best songs of the past were done by moderate to poor vocal ability so that doesn't matter either unless you're an American Idol fan. Still pondering that last post, Marty.
