The music where there was thought put into every word, and composed brilliantly...The world's music is going to the dogs I tell you. (No offence to anyone who likes today's music.) I know what you're thinking:This lady is an 80 year old miserable old fool. I'm actually below the age of 15.

I'm just like you, but I'm 17. Rap??? They call that "music"??? And talent??? It's talking in rhymes! I think music back in the 60's and 70's was the best ... it actually ment something! Like The Beatles. Brilliantly composed and sometimes floaty. I love that. Ever herd "Revolution #9"? Now that's weird, but I still like it. Led Zeppelin is my fav. Brilliant, talented music with a meaning. Sounds cool too. But yeah, I agree with you 100 and 10% on that. Imagine what modern music will sound like 10 years from now! That's a scary thought!

I am 53. I play Serious Sam on line, I do Teen discos, I head bang to AC/DC, Zep, Van Halen, Jet and Green day. This site is for any age to come and either ask or express or answer. Older people are usually wiser than younger people. All in all I would say the mixture of cultures, races and ages on this site, is second to none. It is necessary to have different views, and just because bushbot acts about 11 and is rude it doesnt mean to say we all follow his silly ways. Hey bushbot, what would you think if we all reported you for abuse. Your question was perfectly legitimate Krystina.

A lot of my friends think that Prince's music is old, but I think it's not only excellent but also innovative as well.\n\numm.. i'm sorry but mine is completely right because my dad is an english teacher.

what hath lynyrd skynyrd wrought? i think that most of what comes out of nashville these days is what would have been called pop music 25 or 30 years ago, crap maybe, but i find the evolution interesting. certainly a lot of  music, no matter what label it's given,has the bottom line of how much cash it's going to bring in, if the person singing it has that attitude or not, and that always waters the music down to it's lowest common denominator. a lot of music i ignore if i don't like it, country or not, even among "artists" that i like. it does seem as if you have to wade through a lot of fluff until you hear something you like, or are turned on to some good music by somebody.  but i'm sure the crap sounds good to some people, and that's okay if i don't get it, as i'm sure a lot of people don't get the first set of the dead at winterland, sf 12/29/77. but yeah, i could do without a song that is nothing more than a sports chant, that's like writing "someone's knocking on the door, someone's ringing the bell."

Your taste in music is HORRIBLE! How old are you? 10? 12?

I was skeptical, but I went to your site.  Your ballads are awesome.  I like Someday the best, because it is soulful, almost "blusey".  Say What You Mean reminded me of the Beatles.  You HAVE to include How Can I Miss You.  Not because it's great music--because it is novel and will get a chuckle.  That will be the one to make you rich if you make it.  Whether you give me any free music, I am inclined to buy a track or two.  I pray for your success--you have something good going there.  Do you write your own music?

lol! \nThere are so many old songs out there that don't make sense.  maybe the guy who made it up really wanted to go to a game, and everyone felt bad for him, so they dedicated this song to him

Absolutely - great music is great music forever. We still listen to Mozart don't we?

NO.  i don't think today's current mainstream music will EVER be the classics of tomorrow.  The Beatles, Hendrix, Joplin, The Doors:  They wrote songs for themselves and if other people liked it..Great but it was always to please themselves first.  They wrote from the heart about thier experiences and we all related to them.  You could hear Janis Joplin's pain in "Piece of my heart" and I dare anyone to listen to the Beatles "Day in The Life" and not be moved at all.  Today's mainstream music..is just that..mainstream.  These are the artists that make music for money not personal satisfaction.  9 times out of 10 they can't even make thier own music; they sample from the real classics, Queen, Led Zepplin and try to pass it as original.  I don't that think that in 10 years I'll be in Wal-Mart hearing Beyonce's "Bootylicious" on the overhead radio.  I think that the Classics of yesteryear will NEVER be repeated.  I'm 29 today but 30 tomorrow and I'm am a white chick :0)

I'm with MojoMan - "For there will come amongst you hordes of tiny demon-pigs, who will lower the standards of musicianship for the human race. And they shall be legion, and they shall proclaim their own glory and the joy of their own "music" with straight faces while the world both laughs and weeps at once."\n\nThe list is almost endless, stretching back, as has been said, to the time of the classical composers and virtuosos. In recent years, some names that especially stand out are:\nVanilla 'WTF is he doing up there?" Ice\nMC "Fetch Me A" Hammer\nThe New Kids on the "Chopping" Block\nMilli"on shots of valium" Vanilli\nLindsey "I'm an actress! No, a singer! No, a drunk! No, bullimic! Or..Something" Lohan\nHilary "Who am I and what have you done with my sense of irony?" Duff\nFall Out (of a plane without a parachute) Boy\n\nYou see, the thing is, it used to be simple - musicians wishing to strike a deal with Hell worked on the principle that if Hell gave them the power to be really great musicians, they'd be successful. That's how we got Liszt, and Jimi, and Janis. we've got a long lease out on Keith Richards, but the bugger keeps slipping past us - techinclaly he should have been dead a decade ago. \n\nNowadays though, the would-be hellslaves don't care about the music, just the celebrity. So now Hell gets double usage out of them all - the devil gets their souls, AND gets to drown us with their insipid drivel while they're here. Very efficient, but a nightmare for those of us who want to listen to good music.

I love classical music I also love the "noise" you refer to. There is also a lot of "noise" that is filled with peace and inspiration or other equally noble messages. There is also classical music which is anything but peaceful.

Okay, if you are under the age of 20 you loved it. Now, I am speaking for the 30 and up adults that have children and have been forced to watch it over and over, then if that wasn't bad enough... all the songs sang by prebesent teens that have been downloaded and played again and again in every SUV in America. ...If I have to hear "getcha head in the game" one more time, I think I really might be forced into homicide.  I apoligize...I was not making fun of the movie. I was just sharing my expereince I had. Didn't mean to offend you!

Yes, I think most people who play musical instruments (esp a stringed one) like classical music since we learned to play using it.  I'll check out the group. Thx!

They are targeting consumers in the 30-50 year old range. We are the baby-boomers, the money-makers, the spenders. They want music that we can relate to, which is by no means the "now stuff" as you put it. It is a smart marketing strategy that works. Products that appeal more to teens do use "now stuff" music, such as cell phones and ipod commercials. They play what works to get the target's attention.

No...that's all psychosomatic (it's all in the head).  It has in fact, been proven that Classical music doesn't make anyone smarter.  However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't listen to it, as it is still good music.  The best way to remember something is to repeat it.
