And so -called groups are mostly composed of two or more long haired, unwashed gits without a scrap of talent of any sort. I used to love music of any sort but in my opinion music started going down hill in the 1960's and by 1970 it ceased to exist.	JJJJJ (528)

Again... what about Green Day? they (or Billie Joe) write all their own music bar one (Summer of 69). and they are not long haired, unwashed gits and they do have tallent :p Green Day seems to be my main example doesnt it - maybe its because they are great :D	Dannz (1668)
412003	2005-12-12 07:57:00	But the point is still valid - Green Day can actually sing, whereas some modern artists can't. But I think most of today's music is music in every sense, except for aweful rap songs (not ALL are awful) and those chicky Destiny's Child-like craps....	george12 (7)
412004	2005-12-12 07:59:00	Some music is crap and some isn't.... same old same old all through the ages. There's also going to be younger people who want to listen to new stuff only, and older people who have shut of thier minds and hearts to anything outside of what they are already familiar with. Same old, same old, same old.......	personthingy (1670)
412005	2005-12-12 08:16:00	I think the big bands of the 30's 40's etc were the worst,oooooooh,I'm in for it :)	Cicero (40)
412006	2005-12-12 08:26:00	Everyone to their taste, but 'twas ever thus... Popular music has always been associated with dancing, and when the Vienese Waltz and music appeared, there were those who thought it very depraved and risqué. Lots of new dances came along in the early 1900s together with that depravity 'Jazz'. This is what was said about the 1920 Foxtrot: This was the dance the Hobart College _Herald_ disgustedly called a "syncopated embrace." And the Cincinnati _Catholic Telegraph_ wrote: "The music is sensous, the embracing of partners--the female only half-dressed--is absolutely indecent; and the motions--they are such as may not be described, with any respect for propriety, in a family newspaper. Suffice it to say that there are certain houses appropriate for such dances; but those houses have been closed by law." In the 1920s, this "new style of dancing" was denounced in "family" publications as "impure, polluting, corrupting, debasing, destroying spirituality, increasing carnality," and decent folk were called upon to "raise the spiritual tone of these dreadful young people." www.eijkhout.net Many of the old 78 rpm records had 'Foxtrot' on the label whether they actually were foxtrots or not, and Jelly Roll Morton's "Grandpa's Spells" is one of those hot tunes calculated to 'lower the spiritual tone of those dreadful young people of the 1920s' :) www.redhotjazz.com When I was at school around 1950, all the young people, girls in particular, and in the US in particular, were screaming their heads off at Johnny Ray. He was probably the forerunner of the pop idol. Before that people swooned over the crooners, Al Bowlly, Rudy Vallee, Bing Crosby etc, but they didn't scream as far as I know! Just noticed your post Cic, I agree with you, seeing as how my musical tastes barely get past 1931 :)	Terry Porritt (14)

Im thinking popular music peaked in the 70's, with Heavy Metal peaking in the 80's. No way in hell The Beatles could emulate the level of musicianship and technical abilty as displayed on Iron Maidens Powerslave. And if Yngwie Malmsteen was let loose on the average punter....well, it would probally go over their heads and they would go back to elevating Lennon into some sort of mystical god...OMG, he Knows 3 bars and can write a hook...we must worship him...omg, look how he stands completly still on stage and plays simple little pop ditties, he must be a god... Muhahahahhaha. As for Greenday, They do well with there limited abilities, I saw them on the River Stage in Brisbane 6 or 7 years ago, was a good show.	Metla (12)

412010	2005-12-12 09:06:00	most popular music has the staying power of a 14 year old boy, gets overplayed on the radio, so even if you did like the first time by the end of the day you would be sick of it, there are exceptions to every rule. Coldplay will be around for a while and so will Robbie Williams although not my cup of tea Robbie does actually have talent. As for the two albums I listened today at work were talking heads "stop making sense" and Metallicas "and justice for all" two great albums from great bands that have the staying power of a 60 year old on viagra :cool:	plod (107)
