Why is there so much miserable music about in the UK Charts at the moment?

I agree. At the moment I'm transfixed with NIZLOPI - get the album, they are the most talented act out. I"ve seen them 3 times this year and they will blow you away. (Forget the JCB song - that's not what they're about). Their new single was released yesterday - "Girls".

Anissia B, you are an ignorant dolt. Without the Beatles, half of music out today would not even exist. Like them or not (you have to like them) they made an incredible contribution to music as a whole. By saying they suck, you are just stepping forward and saying "Hello. I know nothing about music and like to watch MTV. Let's go to Abercrombie and buy pre-ripped jeans for $150.00. *Giggle*"\n\nThink before you talk and you won't look so stupid.

I agree with you. But i'd rather have it keep a low profile than be mainstream. Not everyone understands how to relax to our kind of music. Imagine all the skeptism non-listeners have said and will say if this breaks out of the box.

I agree with some ideas you laid out. I think there is a lot of emotional turbulence clearly being expressed through not only the type of music but lyrics and lifestyle of artists. Unfortunately, listening to such music does affect our minds in a negative way (at least those who are content with their life), and all one can do at that moment is turn the radio off. Most people eventually grow out of it after they realize the noise is really taking away their inner peace. I'm glad you have found your shelter but unfortunately society in general would need a miracle to change the pace and content of that which drives the lifestyle of general population.

Like all popular music, it has had good and bad effects.  I worry that too much of it glorifies casual sex and wealth.  But I also know that there are some talented people creating really innovative music.  And there is plenty of truth-telling and uplifting messages, if you look hard enough.\n\nBut those of you who are old enough to flash back 40 years and remember what people were saying about The Beatles and The Rolling Stones should know this is just the same story with a different soundtrack.

I don't think a sticker makes anyone buy anything. Except a big fat one on the front reading "Free".\n\nTechnically, "The Information" isn't chart eligible in the UK either for the same reason as in the States.  Ikara Colt (blast from the recent past) had a similar problem with their debut album\n\nJM.

all the  mainstream artist suck.the last 10 years of music has been at its worse.Its all about how much money they can make now rather than making quality music.Music has sold its soul out for money.You have to check out the underground and indie artists to get new quality music that still has a meaning and feeling to it.\nIve been boycotting the radio for at least 10 years now.Everything on it sux(except if you have a good non commercial radio station that has a variety of music shows)\nMTV & BET really sux its the same old shi# over and over and over. Icant believe how tone deaf people are today. How can they actually listen to that crap all day?\ncheck out these groups/artists:\nMASSIVE ATTACK\nSTEREOLAB\nMINOTAUR SHOCK\nCELEBRATION(on 4ad)\nTOSCA\nKRUDER &DORFMEISTER\nM83\nGOLDFRAPP\nthievery corporation \ngroove collective\ndif juz\nnew wet kojak\n\n                        just a few.....

I've heard of a lot of U.K. artists, but a lot of them aren't really famous here.  I've heard The Libertines, Babyshambles, Lady Sovereign, Roots Manuva, Dizee Rascal, Roll Deep Crew, The Futureheads, and some more that I can't think of right now.\n\nThese artists don't get a lot of airplay here, though  (but Lady Sovereign is starting to take off).\n\nThe big bands that are real popular here (in the U.S.) are Radiohead, Coldplay, Gorillaz, Blur, and Oasis.  Neither Blur nor Oasis have had a big hit in recent years here, but Blur's "Song 2" and Oasis's "Wonderwall" and "Champaigne Supernova" still get played a lot on the radio.

Upbeat music will snap you out of it. You don't want to listen to anything that will make you more depressed than you already feel. :)

I think a better question is, why is there so much diabolical trash in the music and movie industry?

I'd like to hear music with some substance.  With so much going on in our country today, I am surprised that popular music doesn't reflect the issues at hand.  There are some good tunes out there, but more often than not, they are not being played by the radio stations or mtv.  It seems like whenever I turn on my radio I hear "My Humps" or that "Crazy Bitc*" song.  Or that "Hate me Today" song or some other song about sex/women's bodies/or self loathing. bllllaaaah.    \nI was in college when September 11th happened and one of the things I noticed is how MTV stopped playing music like Britney Spears or the boy bands or rap.  They put on old videos of bands that actually HAVE messages in their music like U2, Pearl Jam, etc.   So they know they are playing crap, they just don't care, unless of course there is a tragedy.   Personally I'd like to hear music like that ALL of the time and I'd like our youth to hear that music, too.

i have no clue but i asked a question similar to this one a while back i think that that whole sterotype is just so nasty and disgusting and all these kids want is attention so if pple dont give that to them they'll stop, but we live in a society full of those kinda pple and its nasty and disgusting, thye also listen to the worst music ever and thats what is on the radio half of the time even though the music is completely pointless and stupid it is sending out horribly messages to kids to do stupid thing, its so annoying to like in the middle of the emo songs they will just be like random sccream and grunts its gross and i can't believe any person in the right mind would sign anyone singing that shit (but i guess those people weren't in their right mind obviuously) but yeah this can go on for days so im just gonna stop here\n\nthere\nis\nno\npoint\nto\nemo\nits\ncomplete\ntrash\nand\nthe \nworst\nsterotype\nor\ntrend \never

such poor taste in music

That's quite alright. I hate this new rock crap too. I like a lot of older stuff from back then like The Rolling Stones, Led Zep, Aerosmith, Elvis, & Lynyrd Skynyrd.\n\nMusic today really sucks. Except there's some good country actually.
