| Time is cruel, the older you get the more shitty the current music sounds. They once hated Mozart eh. |
| While not technically anime, currently I am a big fan of Hatsune Miku. At least I can go see her in concert. |
| Because it's made for people who don't love music. Relatively there are only few people who really love music, so: 1) Most top artists don't make music for them, because they can't earn so much money. They make "music" for the masses, who just like simple sounds and vocals (why add actual music to the song if the vocals are enough to sell) - because that way they can make money 2) Obviously because only few people really love music, this music doesn't make it into the top whatever charts |
| Everyone has different tastes and what you like, most people might say sucks. You wouldn't know. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if most people say modern music has gotten better than old music. In fact how far does "modern" reach in determining modern music as opposed to "unmodern" music? And what if everyone just thinks you're an old fart who likes oldies? Undeniable truth is, the ignorant masses constitute an immense consumer base and popular music will sell and make a lot of money. If you don't like it, don't listen to it and get over it? What sucks to you doesn't suck for everyone and vice versa. |

| @BlackSabotage Just ignore mainstream music. You will hardly find something you like in the top 40, so stop searching. Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Yes were never mainstream. Heavy metal, hard rock and progressive music have always survived by the support of their own community, just with occasional popularity peaks and radio friendly songs. There is a lot of new heavy metal and progressive bands waiting to be discovered. And, maybe except for Muse or The Darkness, they aren't on the radio. |
| Either you're talking about bands that need to change their name, or neither Muse, or The Darkness, are heavy metal/progressive. |

The Darkness is a hard rock band, I know :p Nevertheless, I always think of heavy metal and hard rock as part of the same genre and sub-culture Muse is classified as progressive rock by several music sites They are even in the ProgArchives (though as a Prog Related band) http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=2122 |

Black Sabbath staying 5 years in the top 10 in UK doesn't make a band mainstream. |

| Mainstream music is improving, IMO. It's a lot better now than it was when I was in middle/high school at least. Maybe I'm just less cynical now. But yeah, mainstream music has never been good as a whole, for every good act there's 100 bad ones, that's how it's always been. |
| All I have to say is I don't like most music on the radio, but in no way is modern music worse... Follow some music blogs or something.... |
| In my opinion, I don't believe in good music and bad music. To me, there's no such thing as great or horrible music. It'll always depend on the consumer's taste, on how they would respond on that certain kind of music. I have nothing against today's popular music, because it's was the masses want. But one thing that really appalls me is that it's always the music industry's decisions on what kind of music the artists should produce and not the artist itself. It's just unfair that the artist doesn't get creative control/freedom in his/her music. Maybe that's the reason why today's popular music always feels the same. This is just my opinion. |

But it's still impressing! Let me correct myself ... when I said "mainstream" in my early post I didn't mean that Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Yes never achieved a great (mainstream) commercial success. Those bands are big! For “mainstream” I was talking about massive pop radio airplay (top 40 charts). I also know that those bands have one or two or three radio hits (like Living After Midnight and Owner of a Lonely Heart), but they were never really part of mainstream radio and TV music preferences (at least from late 70’s onwards). I doubt that people who aren’t Black Sabbath fans know other songs than Paranoid or Iron Man, from Paranoid album. And if you look at Black Sabbath’s page on Last.fm, there is some people that ignore the existence of Black Sabbath line-up with Ronnie James Dio on vocals, for example. |

As well as Born Again album fuckin' great vocal performance by Ian Gillan! lol |
| Even without massive radio plays it isn't exactly hard to learn their existence, after all I've known many of those sort of bands because I heard them in the radio. Born Again isn't bad, but fuck that production and mastering, I swear I heard bootlegs with better sound quality than that. Between compression and the loudness war, I think I get enough headaches from most modern CDs anyway. Born Again isn't obviously like Welcome to Hell where the production was made that way on purpose. |

| music got bad cause instead of promoting artists the industry promotes whores who can be packaged and sold,repackaged and sold again to a mass that has no reaction other than to gorge on whatever is considered popular. im old and i remember waiting for the next nirvana album and then kurt went and dashed my hopes thusly. Then all music started getting worse steadily. |

MrKnD said: because you touch yourself at night Don't change the subject answer the f***ing question |
| I see, the old "I don't like it = it sucks" thread. You quote these old bands, but if we take the year or decade where they were active, can you honestly say you liked all the music being produced then? Do you not think you're listening to what you like and ignoring the groups/singers of that era that you didn't? I mean, if I didn't like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Yes ect.. (if you're reading this just pretend I'm talking about you're favourite band/singer/group), and I just said it was shit because I didn't like it, I think you'd 1) Be slightly offended and/or 2) Feel anger at me and/or 3) Disregard what I was saying. rederoin said: In other words, you don't know how to use the internet to look for music. To be fair, though not aimed at me, this is true. |
| You're not looking hard enough... or at all because a lot of modern music is amazing. |
| Music in radios or magazines... 95% are commercial related and not specific to one's taste. DJs are often language-locked or area-locked. Programs in international cities may only be a little bit better... Alternatively, you can ask for a recommendation for a similar piece of work using Google or a music BBS. It helps you to find music which are not so popular nowadays. It's grown up to be the most convenient method since the internet was born. |
omg this thread is still going on.I don't wanna be an ass but really? |
| Because being hipster is too mainstream haaaaaaaaaaa . . . no. |
| These topics are so stupid. Although I'm really not fond of most of the things that come on the radio, I don't think my opinion's the end all/be all of opinions. So to go ahead and say that modern music is shit, is really elitist of you. It's called having different tastes in music. And btw, music has hardly changed. What has become popular has changed. But who cares? It may be disappointing that some really great bands go unheard, but no one's forcing you to listen to Carly Rae Jepsen. |

BlackSabotage said: Most artist on the top 40 radio have such similar and generic sounds to them. What ever happened to good bands like Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Yes? Their time was up. And I mean it. Sure, Ac/DC or Scorpions still manage to fill up stadions at the concert but their are not as big as they used to be. While I think that some modern bands are picking up (Primal Fear comes to mind for ex.) I really doubt they will achieve the success and impact that old bands had. It also depends on what you consider to be good music. I see that you didn't mention Abba or Elton John for ex. It's really a matter of taste. But if you really want good music you can always stick to the old one or try and discover new bands. And trust me, there are quite a lot of them out there. |
If you are a fan of (or simply interested in) Japanese films then please join the Cinema of Japan club! Thank you (: |
| Music has changed quite dramatically. If you played hard core metal in the 1600 (I'm just making up a date around when I think classical music was most prominent.) they might have killed you. I still think there are good artists around for each genre you just have to accept that music changes and change is scary. |

| Because of their SWAG. |

| It seems that most modern hip hop/rap MAINSTREAM music blows nowadays. Back then it was great but now it's all the same. nothing new and nothing different (same meaning). What to expect from modern rap, "I saw a girl, banged her. Then I saw a car, stole it. Then I saw a person, stabbed him." Modern Hip Hop: "I look so sexy every guy wants to get with me and when I go shopping I buy all the clothes I want." BLAH BLAH BLAH. Seems like rock and metal are still doing alright though. |
