Call me overly critical, but I believe that the ability to count to ten is a prerequisite for someone to have their opinions considered by me. Heck, even to five would be fantastic.

Well, just as there are tons of crappy bands today, i'm sure there were plenty of crappy bands in the heyday of Queen. Remember that.
ps anybody here like Ben Folds? i love his work.

Mainstream stuff is not good IMO.
But there is underground stuff that is good.
The Dresden Dolls are fun i like them. I also as previously mentioned, Keane, Scissor Sisters.
But what about people like Melissa Etheridge and Alanis Morisette?? They're phenominal.
I highly recommend Jagged Little Pill and YES I AM. Those are definatly fantastic albums.
But this "emo" fad needs to go. IMO because its making depression and sadness look "cool" and its truly a serious thing and people act that way because its a fad really really discusts me because i have a cousin who actually took his own life, but he didnt broadcast his depression, in fact no one even had any idea.
But anyways, its straying from the subject. Its all in personal taste i suppose, but i just dont understand how anyone can like whats out there myself, but obviously they do. But i do miss the real emotion in every ounce of a song. But as said alot of underground stuff is pretty good. But can be hard to find. My friend is always playing some stuff for me. I like to think of music as a package deal, if the lyrics, musicianship and heart are put together in just the right way, you cannot beat it. And that is different for everyone, however current things are popular because of the way its shoved in your face.
If i had to say overall it is SOCIETY itself that promotes this kind of stuff. I mean you cannot turn on a radio or TV w/o this incessent "WHATS HOTT AND WHATS NOTT" thing being thrown in your face and as many people are impressionable, they go for it.
I admit my jr. high years were like that, but finally in the summer before 9th grade i finally started listening to music I liked that had an effect on me, not hip-hop and rap anymore. I did it because i thought i was suppose to. But then i got wise and in tune with myself and found something i could connect with. And i think thats the beauty of Classic Rock and Motown stuff, its talent, emotion, fun and realistic all at the same time and theres something for everyone.
