If you think about it, music has sort of been on a decline complexity wise since Classical and Jazz. Music is shorter now, with less change ups or substance involved. It's really depressing to think about that bands that are on the caliber of the Beatles will never get the recognition it deserves because vapid pop music has taken over everything.
This is all just a reflection of your shallow enjoyment of music. There is a lot of very good, very complex music being made, but you are stuck on 102.5

There has been shitty music being made just as long as quality music.
There's plenty of amazing music still being made.

Pop music has always been around and always had big sellers. The problem is - back in the day, the stars were "less" manufactured, and had some modicum of talent, beyond a willingness to show skin and whore out (mainly the gals I'm talking about, now).
Honestly, "pop" music changed drastically with Madonna when image and overt sexuality trumped anything like "talent" - and modern technology has made talent, especially in pop music irrelevant.
On the other hand, rock music is still around, it is just far below the dominant form - even modern "country" (bad rock with a fiddle) seems to produce more buzz and more stars than traditional rock music.
But, rock and roll will never die. The pendulum will swing back - in fact, it's overdue.

Good music out there and much easier to find these days, sites like this help. Stop being a bitch.
I agree with you. Maybe when you aren't listening to music you should pick up a book and learn to read, moron.

As for pop music, Sia Furler ended up charting a pop song this year, so it's not all shitty bubblegum whores.

I don´t think Led Zeppelin ever topped the charts......

I'd say MTV had more to do with the change in pop music than anything. Now that we could actually see the singers attractive young women like Madonna, Debbie Gibson, and Tiffany all became stars. I couldn't see someone like Janis Joplin or Carly Simon being successful in the tv age.

I don't think as a whole is better... maybe just more accessible? I'm in the middle of watching the doc 'Downloaded' about Napster and its effect on music. Very good

How insightful of you to come here with this very original topic. I can guarantee you that nobody has ever brought this up on this board, or in the history of time. You've obviously put a lot of thought into this, so I assume you realize that talented bands still top the charts today, but they just aren't played on the radio. But you seem smart enough to know that radio has changed significantly over the last 30 years.
Wait, why did you make this thread again?

Led Zeppelin never once "topped" the charts in the US with a single. Their highest charting single was Whole Lotta Love at #4, and that was their only top 10 single.
The Beatles obviously charted a lot of singles, but their later experimental/creative success came way after they had already built themselves up in the public's eye with simple pop tracks in the early 60s.

There is better music out today imo than there was in the 60's and 70's. The good music today doesn't get played on FM radio, so you have to know where to look for it.

It's really not even that hard. Hell, Pandora makes it super easy for you. People get set in their ways as they get older and either are too lazy to seek out new music or aren't open minded enough to listen to something unfamiliar.

last.fm is one of the best out there too

brah, do you even motown? Motown invented the manufactured pop star. Now, they have it down to a science but its been around forever.

I've listened to more music than you probably ever will.
Doesn't change the fact that no one can dispute that music has declined and the majority of it sucks today.
