how many albums from the 80s can you do that with?

Don't know without looking but I'd bet a good amount.

I just asked a question, stop being so defensive.

touchy, i just answered your question with a question. don't blow a gasket.

I know how children your age are with the XBox Live. Soon you will be all, "Momma give me some f$%$$ chocolate milk!"

I'm with Dupree. There is still quality music in this generation. I like it.

That's bull****.

The problem is that the good stuff isn't promoted the way the crap is now.

I listen to music from the 40's right through the 90's and find that alot of what was popular wasn't bad at all. The 00's sucked ass and this decade isn't starting off much better.

And for rock music it's a wasteland. You have to dig pretty deep to find the good stuff.

Agree. Save for a small group of bands, I've heard next to no quality rock music since the very early 00's.

I know, I wish I was younger so I could have a self-admitted ****tier taste in music. What a shame.

lol That's ridiculous. The Beatles were some of the biggest nerds around at their time and they made great music.

And it's not the music of the young. There's plenty of people my age that listen to this garbage.

That couldn't be further from the truth. The main three of John, Paul and George, all grew up dirt poor in Liverpool which was a hellhole in England in the 50's. They were self made musicians with no formal training. Hardly "nerds".

The term nerd has nothing to do w/money. When they first came out, the Beatles looked and acted like nerds.

Such as?

you don't have a generation of music. You live in an age where you can just point and click and hear anything you want. Bands from all around the United States are able to record and put their music online. the only excuse for complaining about music today is laziness. When I was your age the only way to get music was to ask a record store guy or have a friend who knows a guy who knows about music. Most people didn't really have music.

Anyone who has created music since I was like...ten is my generation of music. Yes I can find good music from a FEW bands that are producing music now. That isn't my point. The point is that the type of music my generation will be known for is flat out terrible.

Nickelback is one of the biggest bands today. Case closed.

Obviously there was bad music then too, the ratio was just better :lol:

I would take the Bee Gees over Nickelback 100% of the time. And it's not even close.

I don't know. I think some of whats considered great today had time to make it great. So I'll wait before I call everything today crap.....

and the other 50 billion disco bands?

"WTF is wrong with music today?" Every generation has asked that about the music that comes out. That will never change. My dad still hates the rock music I grew up listening to, and my grandmother STILL thinks Elvis did nothing but promote sex, like the Beatles promoted drugs with their 'noise.' Just go with what you like and leave the rest to everybody else.

I honestly can't even think of any off the top of my head.

Not like there wasn't other good music out there while disco was going on though.

Oh I don't think everything today is crap. Just that there is MORE crap. Its all very subjective anyway right?

right.........which is why I think it'd be pretty hard to prove that there is more crap today then before as every era has had its crap trends and its good stuff. Today for instance you have a huge influx of progressive rock bands, which I'd put up against a lot of the older bands, but we also have our boy band bs. We just don't really have a "led zeppelin" type band today.

To an extent. But as someone who listens to a lot of different music, I'm just not seeing that quality in any of the genres I frequent (hip hop and rock esp). And it's not like it's only been a few years. Been closer to a decade or so now.
