It would have to be something where Corporate America should stop ramming cRap down our throats. I like hip-hop and rap but it has begun to be so watered down. You hear it at monster truck shows now! Sure they are great beats, ie ringtones, but c'mon even on tampon commercials?!? Music is diverse and sets moods. Trends come and go. Metal had their heyday and now you only hear it on oldies stations and bad tv shows. \n\nI think another big improvment is Music On Demand. Sirus and XM are getting there. A service like that works but now to get it to the point that if you want to listen to a new cd, you pay your monthly service and can listen to it at anytime. Yes you cannot copy it since it is a streaming download but you pay for a service and can call it up anytime like NorthStar in cars.\n\nThat is just a start!

It's going down the toilet that's for sure. Endless greed by record companies have killed off originality and controlled what the people want to hear. It's almost like an assembly cookie-cutter factory....to be a successful artists one must either look a certain way, behave slutty or show cleavage with plenty of pelvic thrustings while singing about "getting it on" with anything that comes in close proximity with the listener. It's all about image nowadays and nothing about actual real and creative music writing.\n\nListen to Enya, Pink Floyd, Rush, James Last (great remakes!! Even better than rap :) ), ABBA, AC/DC, Joe Satriani (early stuff), Steve Vai, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Billy Joel, Van Halen, Led Zep, Vangelis and a few others...too many to mention. These artists knew/know how to put together great melodies and sounds. Today's music  is filled mostly with crap unfortunately.....it's a shame that a lot of the younger listeners aren't introduced to much of these artist's songs. Rap/hiphop crap is the "Lord Of The Flies" mentality of much of today's tribe-like clique life in younger folk. Time to educate the ears and widen the palette. :) The music industry once made their bread and butter off of these artists and shunned most of the talentless ones....now it's the other way around. You don't see too many good ugly singers or musicians....everyone has to be "beautiful" or full bodied without much care of the voice or instrument playing abilities. Rollingstone magazine dumped on Steve Vai for years because he is unbelievably good...Steve Vai!!!! Meanwhile, punk-@ssed teen bands come through because their music contains a lot of angst and anger which is what can sell products to the listeners as the record industry feels that the music can relate better with younger folks. It's no longer about music, it's all about profit. And then they wonder why people aren't buying music anymore or not going to the movies as much. Too much vomit out there.\n\nGood day.

I absolutely love most of the bands that played Woodstock. Janis Joplin and Jefferson Airplane being among my favorites. Soundgarden, STP, RHCP, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, are all good. There were others too that were good. I have to agree with you about Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Click Five, etc. I don't know where rock is going but it needs to come back. They lack substance and they whine a lot. I don't like that at all. I'm hoping that once again something new will come out that will put those bands to shame much like "grunge" did to hair metal

Are you a child of the 80's? Well then I am with you. The music started going downhill when the 90's began. All it about these days is hip-hop and rap. Sad, isn't it?

People still listen to those bands. \nThe question should be why don't people make good music like they used to!?

I think as a whole any new development or improvement in technology or methods of transmission and delivery of musical product is very good for music.  The internet specifically the use of computer files like mp3, wav and wma have allowed for a greater range of artists to get exposure... virtually ANYONE can be a star.  People also have opportunities to get exactly the music they want and not waste money on junk.  Internet has been really good for music as a whole.

It's just the flavor of the day.  Reality is what is hot now.  They still perform but aren't always able to get the whole band together for reunions.  I think they are at the point in their lives where they are not totally washed up but still need to put themselves out there and let people know they're still around.

I believe that todays commercial rap will be compared to the hair-bands of the 80's in the eyes of history. Flashy clothes and lyrics that just tell about all the partying and the women they have around them.\n\nRap and Hip/Hop will never die, there will be a new-wave that will take over much like the grunge movement of the 90's in rock. Wait and see.

I like it except now someone has killed originality and it's all starting to sound the same. I use to love it but...

I'm a huge music fan and am very good at finding rare songs online but that. I'm gonna have to say no. The chances of their being a cd of just them singing and nothing else is the most rare thing in the world of music. I mean unreleased songs would be easier to find.

I've found through personal experience that my more intelligent friends tend to search beyond the top 40 or what is hot right now.  They tend to be a little more dedicated to finding a suitable song or artist that fits their style, instead of just listening to whatever everybody else thinks is cool.  I would love to see a study conducted on this theory sometime.
