None of it will be played 20 years from now like the music of the 80's is.

you are so right. The music today is just so fabricated and its here today, gone tomorrow. Id love to hear Saturday night in the 2000s in 20 years. Not gonna happen...

I'm not sure anymore. I have tried time and time again to figure this one. It could be money and the fact that everything is corporate. There are some bands like Muse and The Killers that might be played 20 years from now. Maybe even a band like Coldplay. But I do not believe the majority of today's music will be played in the future. Basically, you will be able to count on one hand the bands that are playing today that will be played in the next 20 years.

Music today isn't lousy; however, much of the music that is heavily marketed and promoted is.
There are two reasons for that:
First, record companies use a scattershot method of finding hitmakers, involving intense promotion in the short term. If one in ten bands is good, then you'll keep hearing about the good one, but you'll hear about each of the other nine over and over for a short time.
Second, record companies don't care if music is "good"; they care if it sells. So, you may hate this music, but if it's around for more than one or two albums, SOMEBODY is buying it, and presumably they enjoy it.
The thing is, you don't hear all of the music from the 80s these days, you just hear the stuff that's good enough to last. Believe me, there was a huge pile of garbage back then that you don't remember, and that nobody ever plays any more.

Reason, the money.
In the old days, bands played many years honing their craft, like the Beatles at the Cavern Club doing show after show, then they got contracts that made them perform and crank out album after album forcing them to swim or sink.
These days too much money is thrown at a band too early in their careers then they either:
A) Self destruct from all the money and fame.
B) The corporate suits strangle their creativity so they only go for the sure thing.
C) Their second album plummets and the rug and plug is pulled out and from under them at the same time.

i'm 16, and in the adventure that your speaking about Justin Beiber, One direction, and each and every of the pop sh*t that is so difficulty-free then certain, yet as for this reason bands like Shinedown and different tremendous rock bands of in the present day, authentic music will stay alive. There are also some usa singer-songwrites who i'm really into which contain Eric Church, very proficient guy. performs guitar and writes all of his own songs! even if you wish usa (authentic usa no longer this new pop crap) or metal (i like both) we are able to all agree music is kinda crappy presently. Metallica is my in demand band ever BTW!

Rock artist from the 70's (NOT DISCO) were more into putting out good to great albums. Now artist put out an album with one or two good songs surrounded by twelve more songs of filler(example.....AFI. Sorry AFI fans I listened to the new album, he has a great singing voice. Why the throat metal????)
Then there are great artist that don't get the air play that they deserve because the don't have a hit on MTV(example...DISHWALLA. They have put out 5 out albums since 1994). MTV is musics natural enemy. It has pretty much killed of good rock.
They are very few band out there now that will be remembered 20 yrs from now. THE FOO FIGHTERS will be one of those bands.
RUSH, AEROSMITH & CHEAP TRICK are still out there and STILL SOUND GREAT! But they are the last of their kind.

yeah it will. I never thought I would hear Blondie, Devo, or The Ramones being used to sell lipstick, swiffers, lipstick, and cell phone plans.
Bands today all sound the same to me (and if I recall, THATS what my parents said to the music I listened to when I was living home). No originality, no obscurity, nothing different. usually just 4 ugly guys playing a guitar, a bass, drums, and maybe a piano, with a singer in there somewhere (ok, thats 5).
I listen to my cd's, NEVER the radio, unless its a classic rock station.

definetely hands down agree! well i don't know about 80s music so much but todays music is real lousy because it's all about making money, no one really cares about talent and originality anymore. it's about appealing to people and getting them to buy, buy, buy.
you know what we need? we need real, talented musicians that know how to work the record companies. i'm tired of lousy music, just listen to some of that emo stuff. we need brilliant musicians that can work the business, or else the music is going to die. yes. die.

bands nowadays are mass packaged by corporations. they can sell absolute drivel with a pretty label. the band doesn't matter anymore to a lot of these people that are selling it. they are just selling an image. they can also do wonders for no talent hacks in a recording studio and then just turn the amps up so loud during a live concert that nobody can notice that they have no musicianship, talent, or any real meaning in their lyrics.

It's all rehashed songs from the 40's - 80's. Find new music besides techno that came from after the 80's. G'luck on that goose chase.
