Why is music today mostly faceless and talentless?

im speaking of the majority of people, but some will differ but thats your choice.

Music today seems to have no face, theres so much going on at one time that who sings what and when is unknown, i look back in my guinness world music book, and discover all these artists within the last 5 years that have had many top 10 hits all over the place, but WHO are they, you utube them and you still don’t get it. theres too much in the way of 1 time performers, and im sure greedy money has something to do with it, bring back the 70’s, 80’s and early 90’s anyday, can you remember how brilliant music was, will ANYONE remember todays music in 20 years, No, by the way im not old and passed it, im only 33, but im sick of todays rubbish music grunge and rap/hiphop. When will it change, oh well i guess i’ll never bore of my old time cd’s

Is it just me, Or is 1979 an underrated year for music?

I admit it had it’s problems, But looking at a list of what songs were popular in 1979, I noticed something: Variety. Punk, Disco, Hard Rock and Bubblegum Pop all hit the top 40, which alone makes me think it wasn’t THAT bad of year for music. Plus any year which gives us “Video Killed The Radio Star” can’t be ALL bad!

What do you think?

Are songs with sexual references/innuendo taking over the music industry, and if so, why?

I’ve noticed hits that have recently taken over the top of the charts have had some form of sex in them. In fact, half of the last ten U.S. Chart toppers have had some form of sexual references or innuendo in them. Here are the examples:

Crank That-Though the dance was fun to perform, it was the big punchline in the chrous of the song that caused controversy. DeAndre Way decided it would be nice to write “Superman that hoe!” as a part of the song. The Superman is a sexual act in which a man ejaculates on his partner, then puts a blanket on his/her back, thus making the partner look like superman.

Low-Though the song wasn’t so sexual, it had two sexual lines. “She turned around and gave that big booty a smack” is something that would obviously take somebody’s ears. Also, “Like a pornography poster” is something that is obviously a reference to pornography.

Love in this Club-Do I need to say anything further. This song is a song about having sex with someone in a public place. You can’t get more sexual than that, along with some more lines that intensify the main point of the song: Making love in a club.

Touch My Body-It’s a catchy tune, with a catchy phrase, but Mariah Carey is pretty much saying she’s a sex slave to whoever she is doing it with. Once again, a song about sexual relations, but this time, she wants none of this to be on YouTube.

Lollipop-Along with being a bland song, Lollipop also happens to say “So I can make it juicy for you.” What do you guys think it’s about?! Oh yeah, a “lollipop.” Never mind.

I Kissed a Girl-This is where a line has to be drawn. The music industry is undoubtably an industry that markets towards a young crowd. To promote two people of the same sex doing intimate things is appalling. I Kissed a Girl is sung by a girl, and it turns on boys, while peaking the interest of girls. The song is pretty much saying “Hey kids, you can kiss each other if you want?” Now, I’m not against lesbianism/homosexuality, but to promote such things to the youth before they’re too old to fully understand it is just dispicable, especially since it’s being used for money, and money only. Stupid.

So, is the industry now run by sex, and if so, why is it that way?

What if everyone suddenly bought for example, Mozart’s music and the radio stations played their songs a lot. Can it become a number-one hit?

I think I was 25 when it happened. I’m 29 now and I don’t know many of the popular singers out there. I lost interest in the industry. Now I listen to classical and jazz and adore it.

I just received a music update from amazon.com and I have no idea any of the singers they are featuring on the email.

How about you?

nope, not for me, lol
however I did meet someone kinda famous that I actually work w/and they really actually have a cd out for sale at music stores
they were like a top hit on the radio but suprisingly don’t have much money [i assume, otherwise why would they be doing what I'm doing,lol]
ANYWAY, they are semi famous I guess u could say
BUT, they said it cost them 7000$ to make the cd???
Not sure if thats the total cost?
BUT WHAT ALL GOES INTO YOUR project/artistic endeavers after you’ve written your song[s]??
