Actually I consider it 5 producers on the right. The boys and RTB.

I would probably guess that Freddie was the main one with Roy given that it was Freddie's baby

well as the thread is music now vs music in the past, i'll comment on that:
every decade has had plenty of sh*t. I loved the 60s and 70s - but BOTH decades had as much crap as great.
the current decade is fairly similar in that respect. bands like the foos, kings of leon and killers are great, but the manufactured stuff must affionados hate has ALWAYS been around - the early rock n roll movement was full of it.
the only decade that i'd cite as an exception to the rule is the 80s...wall to wall sh*t all the way through

Music today is nothing but garbage! Bring back the old songwriting when a singer wrote from the heart and not from a team of 10 writers for one song.

There is some good stuff around at the moment but I much prefer stuff from the past
I prefer singers/bands who can write their own music and perform with enthusiasm

The good music is still there, it's just no longer in the mainstream (and hasn't been since the 80's).

But then good music was also in mainstream. Now shit music is mainstream music. Good stuff in underground.

^^^ "good music" is a subjective term. but let's take it in the isolation of a "rock forum"....
in the 70s there were loads of great bands who were not in the mainstream and loads of not so great who were huge and mainstream

There is no good - real music today for 3 reasons.
1. Youth culture is dead.
2. Queen brought music to some kind of limit.Grunge and Hip Hop injected some new elements but in terms of musicality Queen hitted the ceiling.
3. The world is a tottaly different place.Money won against the soul. And this is not a good place for the melody to grow.

Face palm...
If all one listens to is the radio, then yes, nearly all new music sucks. But most people with good musical taste understand one simple fact that the "new music sucks" crowd doesn't - the internet is becoming the new mainstream.
Look for online radio stations from different countries - like Triple J in Australia or CBC music in Canada. There are tens of thousands of excellent artists out there.
Look for "100 best song" lists of any of the past few years, and it will lead to great results - like this one:

If anyone thinks all new music sucks, they just aren't looking for it. And one may argue that they're going out of their way to avoid it, because online, it is everywhere. Enjoy the search.

Music today dosen't suck. It just lost something of its impact.
