Damn all that bloody rap, pop, R&B, punk, hard rock, emo, goth and Alt rock to hell!
I don't even know why they try to classify it anymore, the dang genres are so skewed now I don't have a clue what I'm listening to half the time.
?This band it awesome! They're a bluegrass, rap, punk band!?
...WHAT THE HELL?!
What ever happened to real music? The rock bands that knew how to play more than three power cords? What happened to the singers that could sing without having their voice put through ten computers so it won't make your ears bleed? What happened to playing from the hart, putting real feeling into your music? What happened being creative and not just reusing the same sheet music but rewriting the vocals and hoping no one will notice.
What happened to all that? And why the hell is this crap they call music being played on the radio and not real music!? I swear, I spend more time flipping through stations trying to find music than I do actually listening to it. Over the past month I've mainly been playing CDs in my car, though every so often I get board of the CD and switch on the radio to see whats on but after a few moments of channel surfing I put the CD back on and curse MTV in my mind.
But you have people that are trying to show you the world out side of the mass media box, people like the good folks over at Pandora Radio. They run a free site that will let you enter in a song or artist and it will find music that is similar to your entry and you can tell it whether you like it or not, it's like Tevo for music. There is so much good music out there that you will never hear on the radio, but the RIAA doesn't like the idea of free radio and they have tried to shut them down more than once. I guess it never occurred to them that people might find a artist they like and would go out and BUY their music, but the RIAA never had much in the way of logic.
Sure, there is some good bands out there today, and I love them. But if I have to hear one more Fallout Boy song I am going to take a bat to the local DJ's head.
