Why does most new music suck?

I agree that there's plenty of drivel being produced, but now I'm listening to internet radio and I can't get enough. There's so much variety. Most of the bands/people I had never heard of before. There's plenty of good stuff out there. You just have to have the time to search and listen. I wish I had more time...

GEtting a good internet radio feed into my system was probably the best thing I ever did to help me break my ruts of listening mostly only to old favorites and giving "new" stuff a chance. It can be a mind opening experience.

Soon after I added my own music server and started buying "new" CDs again to build up my own collection and I listen to my own personal "Mapman Radio" station in essence now. Its format is eclectic with lots of variety.

Many artists and recordings featured from old 78's from the 1920s to more exclusively modern acts, including some newer pop/rock acts like:

Muse, Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes, Band of Horses, Gorillaz, Kelly Clarkson, Flo-Rida, Eminem, Ne-Yo, Sean Paul, Radiohead, Broken Bells, The Black Keys, Alabama Shakes, Porcupine Tree, Dream Theater, The Mars Volta, Massive Attack, Motorhead, Killswitch Engage, The Decemberists....many more with new stuff added to the rotation all the time.

Access to Mapman Radio is limited to my houses Wifi by invitation only. :^)

Snore. I grew up listening to The Beatles, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and so on. I listen to The Beatles, Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones once a year. I can't stand The Who or The Doors anymore. I can't listen to the same stuff thousands of times any longer. When I hear The Doors 'People are Strange' I want to watch television.

If you eat filet Mignon for dinner every night, you will also grow tired and bored of it, and you might even reach for McDonald's for a different flavor. But at the end of the day, filet Mignon is still filet Mignon and McDonald's is still McDonald's, and the fact that you no longer want to eat the former can't change it.

Yeah, but it still may still taste pretty darn good when that is what you are hungry for.

All music is low fat, low sugar, low salt and no carbohydrates last time I checked, so no physical harm is likely. :^)

Bad analogy. Nobody wants the same gourmet meal every night.
