What happened to good music?

My music tastes cover a fairly wide field. I like most music, to a degree. Pop has been going downhill from a youth view in the last two years or so, but there have been good pop songs imo that are released every now and then.

I've known Catfish And The Bottlemen since last year, but only really started to listen to some of their content this year.

Ah yes! Its been in my head all day )) so catchy, I like the music video.

Sort of. I heard bits of "Sky Full of Stars". The way he uses the voice: Bleguh! The vocals really do put me off. The nearest I've been to Coldplay in the past year was covers of Magic by Brandy and Yellow by Laura Mvula.

I saw them live! They were amazing. I recommend seeing them before they get to big

Tbh it's your ability to delve and find good music that's at fault, no one's forcing you to listen to chart music...

The vast majority of music that is made isn't in the charts. Some of my favourite music ever has been made in the last couple of years.

You're just getting old and a bit narrow minded. Open your mind, explore different genres, listen to songs you haven't before, update the ways you look for music..

If anything there's even more music now that you can listen to than ever before, as it just keeps adding up. There always was a load of rubbish songs. Nobody remembers them any more for a reason.

Pop music is not about producing quality meaningful songs it's a business. Get noticed & make money, produce catchy songs that attract attention good or bad it doesn't matter being in spotlight pays. What is pop now is different than what was pop before.

There's services that can help you find new artists, recommend music based on what you like. Maybe you should change the genre of music you listen to or charts you look at, if anaconda isn't your jam.

I think we are waiting for a band (or bands) to take today's music by the scruff of the neck. Something outrageous to counter the x-factor boy bands and songs about women's behinds. Something to take the formula of punk and change it for today's generation. Hopefully it happens soon as well

listen to dancehall

Music is doing great in my opinion and most people who don't agree are too lazy to delve deeper into music. There has been some great albums this year so far like Flying Lotus, FKA Twigs, Shabazz Palaces, Sun Kil Moon etc etc. Run the Jewels and Panda Bear just came out with good stuff this week. La Roux's album from this year is a great pop album too! There's also some albums that are truly classics from the last few year like Fiona Apple's The Idler Wheel and a lot of Kanye's stuff aswell.

People need to stop complaining about music that they're not apart of the target audience for. If a lot of music in the charts is for people who want to sing along to the songs and not dissect it that's fine!

The music is deteriorating argument is simply ignorant to me.

This.



And this.

It's not about being "lazy" to find good, because I do that anyway. It annoys me that I do have to look to hear good quality music. It annoys that I'm not seeing the artist/s behind them, not being recognised for there talent. I want to see them on TV or hear them on the radio.

That sounds kind of dumb to me. If you want to see interviews and live performances there's always going to be loads on YouTube and you can use the radio function on Spotify or any similar to cater to your taste.

i'm talking about their music being played on TV and radio.

The quality if music has deteriorated at an alarming rate, or maybe an just getting old. I have a real passion for music,but, I'm finding it VERY frustrating when song like anaconda are in the charts and singers these days lack emotion in their music.

share your favourite artists and songs here....and rejoice in decent music once again.
