Just wanted to say today's music blow's outside a few bands.

I mean,
Nirvana, Soundgarden, STP (stone temple pilots), AIC (alice in chains), the melvins, Pearl Jam, Metallica, Rage Against The Machine, Radiohead, Tool, Korn

I mean, ok
some of these bands are still around.
But essentially they are 1990 bands.

Where are all the new great bands?
I mean in the mainstream at least, not underground.

I mean
Blink 182 ?
Or that stupid canadian band on the spiderman soundtrack.....their name escapes me. I mean really.

Its soo revolting, I don't even touch the radio anymore.

I mean, I miss the days where all you would hear on MTV / Much music was Nirvana, Soundgarden, AIC, STP, Smashing Pumpkins

I mean, this pop style music drivel sung by a bunch of ass kissing dimwits, has infiltrated every musical gendre.

Pop is literally everywhere.

I mean Nelly?
what the fuck is that.

Give me so KRS-1, PE, Wu any day.

But as far as today's so called pop music being good and talented thats so full of shit and you know it.

True musicians write their own music and lyrics and i mean you actually think britney, christina, J-Lo, back street crap, N'Gay does any of that?

I mean at least back in the day, such GREAT pop bands and artists such as

The Cure
Duran Duran
Michaeal Jackson
The Police
Depech Mode

Well these all had 1 thing in common, they wrote and composed most of their music or at least a good chunk, unlike many of today's bands.

And in the words of the Hot Red Chili Willi's, its fucking good when mucians write their own music, thats GOOD music.

Thats the bottom line, cuz Militant Poet says so.

militant poet how many people 'back in the day' didn't write their own music. Loads of them...

But you're right to say that the bands who write their own music generally live on in memory...e.g.

All Saints
Take That

and i'm sure i could think of a few more if i tried.

BUT - great pop songs live on in memory too - it's just that maybe the artist won't remembered in their own right - but as the person who did a particular song . eg. "Hit me baby One more time" is a GREAT pop song.

Hit me baby one more time?
A great song?

Don't be so ..........
Its a great sex appeal video and thats about it.
Brinteny is like madonna, not so much musical talent as sex appeal and knowing how to market what she has.

Now,
Californication by the RHC is a great pop song.
Black Velvetine by Lenny
I mean, u want great pop bands or bands which could be classified in the pop arena.....

Try STP, U2, Red Hot Chili Pepers,

I mean, nothing is bad with pop.

BUT
its refreshing when artists write their own music.

And as far as All Saints, are u reall aware why they "died".

It was not a lack of musical interest, but bad dissent and outside pursuits, ie. having kids.

and i mean

ALL Saints
VS
Spice Gurls

who would u listen too?
I'll take All Saints thank u.

I must say though, the reason I'm writing in this thread, one thing that life has taught to me is: Whenever you point a finger, you have three pointing back at you. So what this thread got me thinking is this: All you talented subspace players should maybe pick up a guitar and make the good music you're talking about -- the world can almost always use another musician (as opposed to another person who critizize music without making any.)
