leigh white Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I always went on with the flow, but just stuck on XFM these days listening to Chris Moyles who i hated on radio one 20 years ago. At least he plays a good tune or two between talking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frank_spencer Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Top 40 was always shite. Still plenty of excellent music being made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Zico Posted February 10, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2019 True There's good music out there But are there any bands now that will be still be massive and headlining in 20 years time? Where's the next Foos or Radiohead Or even Coldplay Maybe I'm out of touch but I've not enjoyed anything mainstream for a good 10 years Yeah, I'm old and out of touch I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The 00s were the decade that killed music. Aside from shite like the killers, KoL, and Coldplay, the only real acts to grow are the Arctic Monkeys. There is little edge, no bubbling feuds, and hardly any longevity; maybe it's because of the dawn of the digital age, music became much more throw away?

Moderators Zico Posted February 10, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 10, 2019 Yep, also went to the Apollo after the 2nd album, ace gig Manchester Central after the 3rd was also very good Went to the arena after the 4th album Totally different vibe and audience, with confused looks on their faces as they played Joe's Head whereas they'd come to hear Need Somebody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent_white Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Not heard a decent guitar band for a couple of years. There's loads of good electronic music around though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh white Posted February 10, 2019 Author Share Posted February 10, 2019 Been spoiled with the music scene since the 60s and with so many vibrant tunes coming out and the decades beyond it a was joy to behold , when your listening to today's music I feel for the yoof missing out.

Moderators Carlos Posted February 11, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2019 Music in the 70s was utter fucking dogshit, pretty much all of it. Even early punk, speeded up hippy shit. You can have Bowie as the only mainstream artist that wasn't shit. And Abba. Awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big E Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 It is just down to taste. The music i listen to seems to get better and better as time goes on. I was fortunate enough to see a "Real band who are probably one of the best ever" last year. fuck me you lot listen to some shite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Carlos Posted February 11, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 11, 2019 Ride are amazing, if you like feedback. Look at the charts now, The Specials, Queen, Ian Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickbrown Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Same as it ever was. Remember my dad telling me the Smiths were shit and Morrissey looked a state with flowers hanging out of his arse. He did however, begrudgingly tell me ' that guitarist aint bad though'. One cool mo'fo my dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
