"My Hump...My lovely lady Lumps"???

[Ornery]

1. Does this pretty much represent what "music" has whithered to over the last 20 years?

 

[Bozono]

Is this that band with the girl singer who p!ssed all down her leg while "performing" live? That was just disgusting.
I've honestly never heard all of any one song from them foo's that I know of. 😱 😱

Only the mainstream music. There is plenty of really good music being made these days, but it doesn't ever seem to make the pop stations.

 

[bonkers325]

mainstream music all sounds the same. good music has to be found, which most people are unwilling to do nowadays.

 

[DivideBYZero]

Meh. It's a fun tune and has it's place. What a bunch of old men you all sound like.

I vote Hollaback Girl worst song of the decade. Nay, century.

Gwen Stefani way worse than BEP. At least BEP's first album was much better.

The shame of it is that before they got that white girl, they were a great underground hip hop group. It sucks that they had to sell out, get that stupid beotch, and dumb down their lyrics.

LOL, man.
If selling out means making MONEY, I guess they would gladly sell out.

Whats the point of making music if no one wants to listen to them and therefore you're poor because of it ??

 

[AgaBoogaBoo]

Well, if it makes money.... I guess it's not an issue 😛

Hell, if I get paid enough I'd do it too

From classical music to today music, sometimes I wonder about human evolution.

For newer music I'd agree however older music is pretty widely known and doesn't take much effort to find at all

I think this is a new breed or something, they're all yelling and cussing like they're stuck in the jungles of Africa or something

My guess is that mainstream radio has sucked for decades, with a few notable exceptions.

 

[Ornery]

Nice job trimming the quote, Mike. I hate nitwits who haven't figured out how to do that yet!

As bad as pop music was 20+ years ago, it's NOTHING like the crap on radio today. You could tune into several stations and hear something that at least resembled music!
