Hate. Severe hate. None of it seems to have any longevity, these "artists" are in for a few months then never heard from again (guess they made their millions & are off to show their house & cars on the hollywood trash shows). None of them seem to do it for the love of creating art, it's just money money money. The American Idol kids, thats all fine as long as you sing the same & look like a trendy kid GAP commercial. The rap garbage all sounds the same to me. Some cat rhyming about his "money & ho's" to sampled beats, I really dont see any creativity in it. There really needs to be something akin to the Punk movement from the late 70's, shake up the industry, pull the corporate - made for TV - claws out of it. Until then I'll just stick w/the classics & Chopin.

Great question! Personally, I also hate much of todays music, but there are some quality exceptions. One of the main problems with todays music is that it simply just copies from the classic songs and bands - and i hate all these redone cover versions out there. Serious lack of originality. In terms of the better more original bands, I would have to say Muse are excellent, and I also love Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I do agree with J though too, too many dumb R and B and rap songs all about the same crap. And too many people don't even write their own songs anymore, especially all this teen crap like Britney.

So true, it's like bands today don't even try to make real music. Few posses real talent. Dig Muse though :)

Well yeah Rich, didn't you know? All it takes to be a "super star" these days is wearing a tight top showing off boobage, crappy dance moves, a headset mic, & lip-synching someone elses words to a live audience that payed $50 for something they could have had at home. ;-)

It depends....I like some but I still think the best era for good music was the late 60's through the early 80's.
Jessica - you mentioned U2 as new music but the've been around since 1976.

Well when we classic rock fans born in the 60's and 70's have to reach back to U2 to find one of the more "recent real great talents", that proves what a bad couple of decades we have gone through, with maybe the Seattle scene of the 90's as one of the few exceptions! That is why we have a thirsts for our much older bands to still produce great sounds like Rush, the Stones, Plant/Page, and Floyd (and others) do every few years. When these guys completely stop who will produce any of the sounds we all consider great music?

Well it's the shit, and not in the good way. I'm not a fan of many modern bands today, only Muse keeps me happy....

Can't stand Rap and R n B, it's all just Pop anyway. How can this be called music when there's no real musicians. Their are some decent bands, just not many.

nowadays, there's no such thing as rock n roll. somewhere in the eighties or early nineties, the N Roll fell of off Rock N Roll and Rock was turned into mindless screaming and preppy fan clubs. even if i didn't like classic rock (which is impossible) i'd still be able to tell which bands (classic or modern) were the best. no matter what, i'll always be happy to be a classic rock lover.
