Everyone's entitled to their own musical taste but here's my opinion:
If you like new music fine, but it shouldn't be called what it is. Today's R&B isn't R&B it's just hip-hop. And how could today's
"rock" be placed in the same genre with Led Zeppelin? How can R&B be R&B if it doesn't have SOUL? How could rock n' roll be rock if it doesn't even ROCK? And Kid Rock's just pop and rap in a cowboy hat. Older music has way more soul and quality. Let's compare:
JAZZ
Back when: Louis Armstrong, Spirits of Rhythm, Hall Johnson choir
NOW
Kenny G, weather channel crap
R&B
Back when: Otis Redding, Drifters, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke
Now: R. Kelly, Ashanti, Justin Timberlake
REGGAE
back when: Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer
now: dancehall crap
ROCK
back when: Chuck Berry, Elvis, The Coasters, Led Zeppelin, Bad Company
today: Simple Plan, other assorted whiny prepubescent-sounding bands
COUNTRTY
back when: Hank Williams, Patsy Cline
now: Big & Rich, Kid Rock
