I know it's all a matter of opinion of what style music you are into it just seems like oh let's say after the early 90's most rock/metal just sort of took a turn for the worst.

I gotta say, I agree with you. With the exception of the occasional song here and there, I really don't like much of anything that came out after 1990 except for new albums that were put out by my favorite bands. All the rock music that is coming out these days is either trying way to hard to make it in mainstream or it's just way to heavy with absurd lyrics that you can't even understand.

Oh, God... Music nowadays all sound the same. And... The lyrics, too. It's all about sentimental crap. I remember back in the 90s, though, I used to love listening to those old rock songs on MTV... when they still played music. And dude, I'm 12. You won't see 12-year old listening to "Dancing In September" today. I don't hate the music today, I love hiphop, but if I had to choose, I'd rather listen to music from the late 60s to the late 90s. Music then was much better, to be honest.

Well you must be speaking of the mainstream rock and metal. If you dig a bit you can find some really good bands, that are way more talented then bands like korn and Godsmack. good Example is Dragonforce. Ok they are a bit of Epic Metal, but talent wise you can't touch them. And yes the nu-metal craze was like the glam rock craze. Same thing, just different time period. They both had a "cookie-cutter" sound to them. But really all you have to do to find some good music is dig a bit.

I SO agree with you. I get tired of plain songs with a coupla guitars and a drum. Often, a keyboard ain't even used.
Where are the great talents that brought us Peter Frampton, Yes, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, America, CCR and the list just goes and on. I never ever get tired of listening to Free Bird Live as well as the studio version. What TALENT! WHAT MUSIC!!!

Yes, the art of music and song writing is very much being forgotten seeing as now it is no longer really demanded by the public. Anything with a catchy tune (not necessarily good musically) and a good beat hooks the audience and keeps them. It does not requrie the use of good musical techniques, just a good sound modification system. Most artists don't even sing anymore.

I couldn't agree more. Musicians today have entirely too much "electronic help" ... even Britney Spears sings through an Antares system which corrects the pitch of her voice. She actually can't sing a note !!! Rap is NOT music at all. Bands today simply have no talent whatsoever.

Musicians/performers in general are not as musically inclined as they used to be. For starters, rap is prevalent everywhere and it's not even music! Then you have all the bands doing remakes of old Top 40 tunes and rock standards -- what, can't they write their own stuff? Then you have the thrash/grunge movement where they purposely lean toward atonal music -- not my thing. Get me back to the "art rock" days of the late 60's and early-to-mid 70's...

True but there are still some real good metal bands out there. Don't know what you got into. Try bands like The Sword, Melvins, Saviours, Mastodon just to name a few. Try those bands out. Melvins have alot of material though.

I would disagree actually. I think much of the music is better written and more complex. However, what you hear on the radio is typically the lowest common denominator and is based on economics not talent. When people really begin buying music from talented artists, then there would be a shift in what we hear on the radio.
The whole things tends to go in cycles anyway... I imagine the grunge stuff will be hitting us again any time now...

You're probably right. Remember, these days, getting ahead in music has less to do with talent than it does with having connections - you can really suck but if you know the right people you'll still get a record deal.
