I'll dabble in most genres. I do have particular genres that I like a lot more than others tho.I thought I had eclectic taste. LOL. Good stuff.
Seems like 50% of new music are these anthemic tunes with a choir in the background and a wall of sound with the singer strumming an acoustic guitar. Where's the rage?
not in pop music. rage is to be tamed with just chill vibes man.Seems like 50% of new music are these anthemic tunes with a choir in the background and a wall of sound with the singer strumming an acoustic guitar. Where's the rage?
Goodness gracious that is awful. Auto-tune and digitized music is the worst with rock and metal. Makes it sound so artificial.not in pop music. rage is to be tamed with just chill vibes man.
if you need something to get you up. sophie sure stirs something...
I've been going deep into the Beato YouTube rabbit hole. So many great videos, especially his series: "What Makes This Song Great". He breaks down the best songs old and new.

Not real sold on the new Yeah Yeah Yeahs. IMO they got that ever-present anthem thing going:

@RU_DIO Two more new Extreme videos. Smoking:Wow, what a pleasant surprise. New Extreme album coming June 9. First single. Interesting quote from guitarist Nuno Bettencourt:
“When Eddie Van Halen passed, it really hit me,” shares Nuno. “I’m not going to be the one who will take the throne, but I felt some responsibility to keep guitar playing alive. So, you hear a lot of fire on the record."
Smoldering guitar solo starting at 2:22 and lasting to 3:27.
He likes Taylore and Adele, though, among others many of you disparage...I like how he takes a dump on alot of the new music
Had not realized Natalie had made some new music. Really miss 10,000 Maniacs.
your buddy cannot control himselfHey @bac2therac , how about starting a Beato thread and keeping this thread true to it's mission. It is one of few threads that has done well without getting derailed. Thanks.
was big fan of Maniacs and her first few solo efforts but lost touch by the late 2000s and everything became too mellow for my tastes. Amazing how music changed where someone like her was the IT girl for a few years and then tossed aside....wash rinse repeat. We will never have rock influenced artists dominating mainstream ever again..its sad.Had not realized Natalie had made some new music. Really miss 10,000 Maniacs.
I like this single a little bit better, and a beautiful duet:
they arent new and Taylor is a huge selloutHe likes Taylore and Adele, though, among others many of you disparage...
Thanks, buddy, as usual, you are a peach.your buddy cannot control himself
You are joking aren't you? They're both "new" for curmudgeonly oldsters like you and many others around here, who think everything post-2000 is crap (both really broke in 2008), plus they have very recent great albums that he has lauded - and he loves how Taylor said a big FU to corporate sleazebags who wouldn't give her access to her music by rerecording her old albums and improving them so fans will stream the new versions more. He also thinks a lot of today's biggest hits are crap, but don't take that as meaning he thinks all of today's music is crap, because he doesn't, as there are plenty of songs on his top ten reviews that he does like (and other non-pop music).they arent new and Taylor is a huge sellout
his commentary about the Adele speaks volumes on how shitty he thinks todays music is

I was an absolute U2 disciple from 1980 through about 1990, but especially through about 1985. I used to make the undergrads in the chem E lab listen to U2 in the early/mid 80s, as well as friends (before Joshua Tree's massive success) and people would look at me funny when I said they're going to be the biggest band ever (was saying this since about 82). If only I could've bought stock in them somehow, I'd be fabulously wealthy, lol. Saw them about 7-8 times pre-1984, including their first US tour in 1980. Still liked their post 1990 work, but was never a nut for them after that. Their first 3 albums were my favorite (Boy being my U2 favorite and top 5-10 alltime for me) and Ioved 4/5 too (Unforgettable Fire/Joshua Tree). I can kind of take or leave their work since 2000.Has any other group lost their popularity as much as U2
Might be a controversial take but heard others say this as well.
