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.

Any way, I'd like to bring up Bowie for a moment. He declined 'All The Young Dudes'. But wasn't he awesome? Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel. Took what was left and made the best of it. And you can bet it needed the production it got.

Oh well....
You haven't answered my question, as I've noticed you don't actually address the meat of any one's post.

Which question?

I like David Bowie. Pretty awesome!

No I was not kidding. I do believe the simplest of melodies are most pleasing, and that the norm is mediocrity.

What am I on? Cholesterol medication. That's pretty much it.
