why does the music nowadays talk about such stupid stuff? Nobody really wants to hear about how many times you ****** your girl or how much "bling" you have... what ever happened to love songs like frank sinatra and Judy Garland, or Nat King Cole??

MTV shoves their music down the throats of the youth, thus creating higher record sales. Record companies promote these genres and tend to leave the less poular genres to rely on talent and word of mouth/self promotion. Underground music is thriving and you can find similar artisits to those you listed if you look hard enough.
Pandora.com is a good site to find other artists similar to your taste. Enter the artist that you like and pandora automatically finds other artists similar in sound.

A 'retard' is also a musical term, which means coming in slightly behind the beat. It doesn't matter what most of today's songs are about, you can't hear the lyrics anyway. Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, and their ilk sang songs that told a story. A nice, complete little story in one song, with a pretty melody -- something you could hum -- instead of somebody whaling away on a guitar and creating dissonance.
There was a recent study that showed a definite causal relationship between early sexual activity and listening to 'modern' music, which denigrates women, denigrates love, and reduces sex to something you do just to pass the time, much like chewing gum.
It was an interesting study!

I agree!!!!
All that sh*t they play these days is nothing but toxic filth. WHY anybody would "love" SO-CALLED "music" that revolves around nothing but "hos" & "bling" & shooting people is beyond me. I think the world has gone INSANE!
Frank & Judy & Nat are all undoubtedly WAY beyond this league of losers. HOWEVER, that's not really my "bag", either! Give me back my '60s "oldies" & '70s "classic rock"!!!!!!!!!!

Not all of it does. Around a year ago I stopped listening to the radio and started listening only to the things I enjoy, and I've found tons of obscure bands that are amazing.

I wish we knew..What a shame it really is nowadays..Thats why I listen to real talent like Bjork..She has written and produced 100s of songs all by herself....! And has defined more boundaries you can ever imagined...
