An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

Arghh there are plenty of people who do that around here - they mostly play DnB or hip-hop. That's why I found it especially hilarious when some guy drove down our street in a Jeep blasting country at an earthshaking volume.
 
Just because you make money doesn't mean your making use of your talent...

My friend used to love Rush, Soundgarden, and now he is into blues more...thank god. Instrumentals have to be extremely memorable and catchy for me to like them...most of the stuff they do bores the **** out of me. Limelight is alright tho.
 
good point... and good job, I look forward to whatever comes next.

:tramp: I can't wait for nuraber 1... it's gonna be the longest 6-8 months ever!!
I always felt Iron Maiden went overboard with their menacing covers... as a kid it scared the **** out of me and always made me think the music was just as scary, but it really isn't.
 
Whatever happened to the whole 'Good music is in the ear of the beholder' or whatever the saying is?

If certain music/banRAB/albums were universally loved, we would live in a pretty boring universe :p:
 
Yeah but that has absolutely nothing to do with the argument. The issue is over quality of music, which has nothing to do with availability. Now if we were discussing the quality of mainstream music, then I would agree, the sixties were far superior. Although we have to keep in mind, what gets played on the radio from the sixties now is very different from what was played back then. Jimi Hendrix, for example, wasn't all that popular back then compared to what he's grown to today. And banRAB that may seem somewhat mainstream now, or at least very close to the surface of the underground, like The Velvet Underground, were very unpopular at the time.

In conclusion, timeframes are moot. Every decade has its fair share of great music, and shit. And in 50 years, on a forum just like this, ALL of our opinions will be obsolete, because fans of music from the 2030's will be arguing with people who thought the last good record ever made was "The Future" by the band ROBOTS, made in 2016.
 
Wondering if Coldplay is a generational thing. My kiRAB are all in their 20's and it's real big with people their age, but most people my age are like you and haven't noticed how much of a factor they've become in popular music.
 
I think the term "concept album" is way overused. I've heard people say that the first Smiths album is a concept album about child abuse (Huh? Apart from the tracks that bookend it, what else adheres to that "concept?" Maybe The Hand That Rocks The Cradle...but then again, even the Sgt. Pepper "concept" falls apart three or four tracks in).

The people who go on about what a great concept XYZ album is are far more annoying than the actual albums.
