Music is dead....

Music is not dead. You're just looking in all the wrong places. Besides, I don't really know your taste in music. I have quite a diverse taste in music and with that said taste I was able to find quite a diverse library. I'm not really going to share any of my tastes with you though, because music is a certain subject which not too many people will agree on too often.
Steve is fantastic Live mate, if you like him do your best to go see him. Didn't realise he appeared on top gear thats coolrosemystica said:Just keep looking.
I actually found out about a cool new blues guy from watching Top Gear. Dude named Seasick Steve. He's awesome.
Music ain't dead, the pop industry just gets constantly worse, which is fine if you listen to good ol' metal
I hardly listen to mainstream music, all the music on the radio these days just suck.
I normally listen to some decent old songs, or some good songs from new bands.

It does bug me a bit how people come on here claiming to hate all music post 1989, but it does mean other people post some cool stuff that I've never heard before.
OP: try Devin Townsends last album, Addicted!. The guy plays most of the instruments himself, records and produces it all himself too. Go listen to it, it is the most well produced album you will EVER hear. Yet I rarely come across people who've heard of him
EDIT:!!!!
I must have skim-read past you, you lovely lovely person!darkstone said:
Luckily it is possible to be narrow-minded and correct at the same time! Narrow-minded does not automatically equal wrong, that's just a stigma we've got because of all those conservative types ;-)Timotei said:
OT: Watching the UK Top 40 on TV is pretty damn depressing, I'll admit. Most of the songs sound the same - girl dancing in her underwear and saying 'baby' a lot, guy singing a soulful tune about...something, I don't know, Bieber types mixing "rap" with whatever it is he does, Lady Gaga doing....again, I really don't know. ***** be crazy, yo. Whatever it is she's doing, a lot of people are copying her now. The whole 'pop music' thing is a serious of fads, as someone makes it big and everyone else rushes to copy them. In a few years, it'll be something else.
Where was I going with that? Oh yeah. Mainstream music is not all music. Getting to the top of the charts just means that an artist has hit with the key 'tween girls' and 'people who like ringtones' demographics. It doesn't matter if critics love them - the critics reviled the first few Led Zeppelin albums, in a move I would call "really, really stupid". Critics are meaningless when it comes to music, because it's such an individual taste. Just get off the beaten path, check out the music that doesn't get played so much on the radio, and you'll find something you like.
I think the truth is that music in the media is dead. Radio, MTV, and music journalism are all complete crap now. There's still good music out there, but it's becoming increasingly hard to find. Searching for new music by genres you enjoy is definitely a good place to start.
So we don't have conversation on this huh? Kinda narrow minded to put your hopes on Youtubeshadowstriker86 said:
. And hardly music is dead. You are just not looking from right places or you don't know what you are looking. The more than you look and don't find, you start thinking you will not find it and thus will not find it. Today we have multiple portals to share and many ways to produce music. I agree that the amount of music that is produced these days makes it hard to find good music, but we have it. And as "good" is an opinion, you just need to find it.
Yeah, he appeared at the end of series 14 as the Star in a Reasonably-Priced Car.Talens said:Steve is fantastic Live mate, if you like him do your best to go see him. Didn't realise he appeared on top gear thats coolrosemystica said:Just keep looking.

I must be on the lookout to see if he's performing in the US anytime soon... XD

OT: As so many people have said, music itself isn't dead. But pop is a zombie waiting to gnaw your brains out. Listen to something WORTH listening to. Like Steve Conte and the Crazy Truth.
