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.

Sorry, that one didn't get me.

Here's one of my favorite more recent discoveries:

Muse Uprising

Just about as good as it gets start to finish.
The second video, of those most recently viewed, with violent images. Violence and music seem an odd pairing.

Pop music is, or should be aimed at the young. They should have their mind on lust errr ..... I mean Love. I guess O-10 nailed it. Reflection of the times.

Cheers
Mapman, love the Muse tune...all the "classic" rock elements. Toddnkaya, I have also gone down the alt country, folk path for some really good finds. Ben Howard is also on my "doesn't suck" list. Very talented!
I guess I just don't get it. What I do get is that certain similarity apparent in everything presented so far except the plagiarized one Rok presented. First time I heard Dark Side Of The Moon in 71, it took a few spins to really get it into my blood as with lots of other music as well. But the potential has to be there. Interestingly enough, as all these bands seem to be trying too hard, the effort it demands to like it is commensurate. It's just work. Where's the fun part?
