It will be a sad day when the legends like Iron Maiden, Ac/Dc, Black Sabbath, RUSH, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Queensryche, Judas Priest and Bruce Springsteen no longer exist....
 
Tha Barbara Streisand fact is depressing. We've lost our taste in quality music. Love Johnny Cash!!
 
Youtube Views: Tupac Shakur vs. Justin Bieber

I was in the music business for a long time. These facts don`t surprise me at all. They make me want to cry, but not surprising at all. Very, VERY sad.
 
Critical thinking FTW. Most of that is a function of population and production/distribution methods.

I'd listen to a Streisand album....right after I take my cyanide pill.

IML Gear Cream!
PinkFloyd ledzep Rush CSN&Young Pearljam KillingJoke is all i need.
 
As a Canadian, I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to my American bros for Justin Beiber and Celine Dion. :sorry:
 
At least you gave us RUSH
 
Sad thing is the bullshit is spreading worldwide. English becoming a universal language our young generation is royally fucked with garbage music with no social commentary.
 
Strange that people used to buy albums too. Now its all about the pirates.

I still have all of my jewel cases, leaflets and inserts. If my place were on fire, my CD "binders" would be one the "material" things I save.
 
Who cares? Good music is still being made....

It aint just about music, its about the younger generation who will eventually become adults and will have to make important decisions. :coffee:

Compared to the music from the 60's, 70's and 80's, today's music scene is shit.

Sorry, you can "neg" me all you want, but I am sure I am not alone in my thinking...

don't neg, not in high school anymore. One thing is true, when the Beatles came out, the older folks called it crap too. When Elvis came out, parents called it devil music. When Run DMC came out they were thugs and clearly a bad influence on the kids. The older generation will always complain about new emerging culture. Music simply reflects society, society today is obsessed with money and material shit so guess what, that's what the music is going to reflect. Don't complain about the music, complain about society going down the drain (if that's what one thinks).

There are several music festivals around the world every year that celebrate good music. It is still alive and appreciated.
 
Hell I knew society was going to shit a long time ago....
 
To add to my post (since I cannot edit it now), what I meant by my statement is that the majority of today's "musicians" are not musicians at all.

When I hear a band playing, I want to know that 99.9% of what I am hearing is them. Instruments, vocals, song writing, etc. Artists like RUSH, Zeppelin, Queensryche, CCR, HELL even James Taylor were musicians in the fact that they could go unplugged and still own the stage.

Acts like Rihanna and Beiber are dependent on their producers and songwriters because they probably couldn't play an instrument or write their own shit.


Do true artist still exist nowadays? Of course they do. Do they get the recognition they deserve? Of course not.

I totally agree.

I grew up listening to rap...I listened to it before it came on the airwaves...yes I am old but I guess i grew out of listening to it....in fact I can't stand it.
