The Shoutbox
I'm not gonna piss on new music, cuz I don't really listen to any.

I would guess that the ability to make songs with a drumpad and computer removes a lot of the musical training that used to be involved by people playing instruments.
Of course, the 80's stuff and NuWave will always be my choice. Hard to shake your childhood.
Then you take Fleetwood Mac and even if you don't like them, artistically they are great.

Pop
I don't think there is any way to be fair and balanced on pop music.

The 60's music that is technically pop seems to have more substance than each following decade.

Bing Crosby probably made an appearance in all bars in his lifetime.

Honestly. Sit in a pub/bar that plays pop because the bar staff have no imagination. It's soul destroying and probably leads to more fights.
I agree. I've been in venues/places where it's piped in and after 10 minutes or so I have a throbbing headache.

Pop music in the '70s and even '80s at least seemed like different songs with different voices. Today's pop just seems to run together as one long annoying, shrill *thing* instead of actual music.

But perhaps I am just old.
It's not an age thing really as I've heard people in their 20's say the same thing. So 60s to 80s and early to mid 90s gets its weirdly cult following in a sea of generic beats and autotune vox.

Punk was a revolt against prog, grunge a revolt against hair metal...I'm expecting another revolution.

Soon, please.
