The Music industry is getting worse, simply because people are promoted for how they look and what they whether rather than how much talent they have.

try at the drive-in or the mars volta.
yeah mars volta album is great, same with muse, A Perfect Circle, Tool still going strong, sevendust, still heaps..and Triple M stil play a nice bunch of songs from time to time...more tolerable than most stations

sometimes though a singer is dubbed crap by everyone else because of their whole image. some actually can sing...but cant go about it the right way. if we can fix those people up it would be a lot better

Nein, they were a great band, but dont mess with history dude. Except for Bob Dylan, past it rockers should not make new stuff.

Most manufactured, bubblegum-pop singers can actually sing...they just need to learn to use their powers for good instead of evil.

I'd have to say that a good voice is actually very low on my list in of What Makes Music Good. If the singer can carry a tune and has a decent voice, thats good enough for me. Any better than that is just an added bonus.

I agree that Top 50 chart music has gone to Hell...not recently, but a fair while ago.

Josh Groban is my absolute favourite singer. I also love Michael Buble. Would you find their singles on the Top 50 Chart? Not likely :(.

People seem to automatically assume that in the case of Josh Groban, if you sing in Italian, French or Spanish that you're a classical singer. That is far from the truth.

Well do me a favour and check them out:

I really hate some of the hip hop music lately...I mean look at some of Ja Rule's songs he's released over the years.

The Murderes
Murda 4 Life
187 Murda
Its Murda
Dial M For Murder
Murder Me
Murder Reigns

That guys got fucking issues. And don't get me started about Suge Knight's rehash after rehash of old 2pac recordings. And fifty cent omg..."Ja..ur so fake im gonna glock you cuz i got the magic stick p-i-m-p and i want respect because i'm a p-i-m-p and look like a stupid monkey"

This is the very reason I listen to the old stuff now. Can't go past AC/DC. Split Enz, Icehouse & Meat Loaf all good. Stopped listening to the latest music 4yrs ago, i.e Melbourne radio stations such as Fox, TTFM.
