    Music sucks now, John Mayer and 3 bores Down, The Jonas "lets have preteen girls lust after us but make it okay because we are abstinant" Brothers . Bands like Arcade Fire and Intepol (AFs first cd is okay, that second one is horrid. Interpol ? I dont get it. I saw them on the Cures Curiosa fest a few years back, yawn yawn yawn. Why do they carry toy guns on stage with them? ).
    I mean the thing is, music is very bland now. Everything is just, boring. Some bands try to hard to get in your face, like nu-metal (is there a law every hard rock band has to have one guy who is bald and a fu manchu now?) Gangsta rap, which at one time was kinda cool, seems pasturized now. I get a , we arent like this but youll buy it vibe from those guys now.
    And people like John Mayer, 3 doors Down, and all the other stuff being pushed at us is boring. Nickelback, nah keep the change dude. NickelBack looks sounds and plays like they have no idea what the masses will buy so we will do a little of each. It reminds me of the late 90s when everyone was all get Belle and Sebastion they rule. I did, I thought I was listening to the soundtrack of a PBS documentary about steam trains or some crap.
    Its not we rock, we make good music, its "what will sell, and how can we sell more."
    And I am so sick of the majors blaming slow sales on downloading, its not 99 anymore guys, and when I was Dling music, it was live shows and unreleased stuff or music by bands that Majors owned and refused to put back out.
    Cds arent selling because, well you put out crap.
    Sorry for the rant, I guess im getting old..............

        With all that said....what do you listen to??? It's obvious you are not a fan of new music.
        "When not too many people can see we're all the same
        And because of all their tears,
        Their eyes can't hope to see
        The beauty that surrounds them
        Isn't it a pity".

        - "Isn't It A Pity"
        By George Harrison

          >Music sucks now

          I don't think that's neccessarily a "now" thing. (I've lived through the boy band thing FIVE times....)

          But on the upside, there does seem to be a lot of small press music available nowadays. Stuff like the Creepshow, or the Matadors.

            Well everything from the Doors and Zep to Kiss and Crue, the Cure, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds, real heavy on the 80s new wave and metal..........

              That picture perfectly represents my Epic Fail so I'm glad you posted it. Great picture in it's own right as well.
