Todays music = Shit

Has anyone else over the age of 18 noticed that the music that is out today is absolutely horrible? In our first post on this site, I am going to compare todays crap, with yesterdays goodness. The problem is, where do we start?

Let's start with pop music. To be fair, pop music has generally sucked. It is the main reason for disco. But even nowadays, can't get that right. Today we have this guy named Sean Kingston, and his song "Beautiful Girls." All I know is he whines about being suicidal a lot and is totally tone deaf. See in today's music market, you don't even have to able to sing in order to get a record deal. It's rather amazing. So here it is, try to stomach it.



This is a hard one. But here is a great pop song that people still like today and I am really surprised that nobody has tried to remake it. (Unless you count Reel Big Fish, but I like that version too.)




Lets move on to rock music. Today, you have 3 choices...Emo, Pop-punk, or Nickelback. For today, we will focus on this garbage known as pop-punk. Our main offender is Ms. Avril Lavigne. I have hated her since the moment I heard words ooze out of her mouth. But her biggest monstrocity is "Girlfriend." Not only is this song really bad. The rumors are out that she stole this song. How bad do you have to be to steal someone elses song, and then take it to such a high level of sucktitude? Let's not forget the hook she stole from Toni Basil's "Mickey" there in the middle of the song. I have to go throw up now. Watch this while I'm gone.
Ok, so the record label won't allow me to embed the clip here. So if you want to see the video, it is HERE
But you can hear the song here
vvvvvv


Now, let's let Tim Armstrong and Rancid show us what punk can really be. I love when he sings, he spits all over anything in his way.




Now on to country. As far as I know, country has always sucked and will continue to do so until the end of time. So I will post the most country thing I know. That's from The Blues Brothers.

"We've got both kinds...country and western"



R&B. What has happened to you? You used to be soulful and have a meaning. Whether it be setting the mood for romance, or just calming down listening to the quiet storm. Today we have people like T-Pain. Going back to not being able to sing. This guy has to use a synthesizer to mask his voice. Somehow this crap sells. What is wrong with these kids? While searching for this video, I learned about another classy song he does called, "I'm in love wit a stripper." This guy rules!



And now for a song that shouldn't even be on the same page as this garbage, we'll play Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on." Please don;t haunt me Mr.Gaye. I meant no disrespect.




Finally, let's cover rap. Through my life, I have switch back and forth from being a rap fan. There have been some really great times in rap's history. And a few bad ones. Now is one of those times. There is nothing at all, good about the stuff that is out right now. I'll prove that by playing a song that I hear way too much. and should be burned. Also instead of showing these idiots bounce around looking retarded, I will post a clip of Family Guy characters dancing to this song. You'll get the point.



I will keep this one simple. No description needed.


"And this one,Snoop Doggy Dogg. Needs to get a jobby-job!"
