What year is it? Nearly a third of the iTunes Top 100 taken by Oldies. New releases not catching on.

Same goes for Hollywood. So many movies nowadays are re-makes of earlier films or just another "part 4" of a certain movie which is just awful.

Creativity is dead.

Y’all don’t love the yearly new angsty chick who whisper sings her songs or the half dozen rappers that all sound the exact same? What is wrong with you people.

Man, I can't imagine growing up listening to all the crap out there coming from 60's and 70's music.

Fixed it. There is still plenty of good music being made out there.

There is actually a lack of music promotion and distribution that we enjoyed. It’s very diluted and hell not much money to be made.

I caught the Mark Wahlburg movie "Invincible" on tv yesterday. I saw it several years ago, when it first came out, but not since then. The thing that immediately struck me, was the soundtrack. Classic 70's music. Now I'm looking to buy it, or at least get a list of the songs and buy individually.

Hard to be creative with work culture ready to pounce and having to feature a black lead in every story who is the smartest, nicest most successful character while being bullied by the dumb mean whites

When you're getting less than penny royalties for the streaming plays that make up the bulk of today's music consumption, when artist recognition and album appreciation has been replaced by "stations" and random playlists forever running in the background, when live music is more of a high dollar social event than a diverse, affordable and available enterprise, when cover bands outperform original recording acts...

Then you have a world where the rules are set by bankers, not artists. And this is what you get...a music scene where you have to dig through miles of putrid crap to find one halfway decent offering.

I listen to classic rock, 70's and 80's on sirus or my local sports stations.

My playlist on my phone varies more from rock like AC/DC, Ozzy to pop to Rachmaninoff "elevator music".

Totally disagree: musician's / artists are as creative as ever.

You just have to go find it because as mentioned the primary streaming services play to the masses. Your itunes list is just what the Sheeple are listening to...are you just like them? I could GAS what other people like.

Personally, I like discovering new artists. Here's a good resource:

Radio Waive top 100 by genre

Personally I'll look at the College list, but that's just me.
