Music... Does anyone remember this? You know, the stuff that was around in the 80's..

Music died probably in the mid 90's and has never been heard of since. It's all just digitally remixed rubbish that has been done on a computer. Where did all the live bands go? musicians with real tallent and skill?

I really enjoy listening to music, when the house is empty I put my TV on, my Onkyo receiver, Jamo surround sound, switch the iPad on.... and play live concerts through my apple TV up on my big screen, volume right up.. This is the nearest ill ever get to seeing and hearing any proper music. It's absolute quality! (if you appreciate the sound of good music)

the 80`s stuff was great. I agree the 90`s were pants though. What bugs me is the radio stations churning out the same songs over and over. Leona Lewis`s Bleeding Heart was one of them. our local R/s`s played it till my ears hurt
 
That's why I stick to rock! Out in the 70's, great in the 80's, fantastic in the 90's & to this day, still lives on! The new rock stuff ain't as good as the classics though...Sabbath, Maiden, Lizzy, Aerosmith and so on. It will never die!

I am in complete agreement with you. I appreciate it from a sound engineer's point of view as well as a musician's.

One of the live concerts I love to watch if and when I get the chance is by the eagles.

I cannot stand the stuff we hear on the radio these days. Even radio 2.

You are so right.

There's still a good load of proper music out there mate you just need to dig through mountains of computer generated crap to get to it. Motorhead are still around so as long as they're still going I know it'll be ok:)
 
You need to give radio 6 music a go.

It a bit like radio, but without the crap music and over exciteable presenters.

There's a station broadcasting on digital radio from Manchester that's well worth a listen if you can get it, they play all sorts of rock music from the late 60s right up to date

bumcrack, just just to give you the heads up and so you are aware there has been a crack down on offensive language recently however you modify the wording. It appears there have been bans issued.

Note 4 on THIS THREAD

No probs, I have edited. I didn't think that was particularly offensive, but then I don't write the rules!

Cheers
 
There is a Rock station here in Glasgow. It's now called Real XS. It was called Rock Radio but has been bought over. Musics still good & some of the original DJ's are there like Tom Russell but Father Ted is now gone...gutted!

How true that is
The talent is still there, but the industry itself is at fault for promoting the garbge that "it" decides that the public wants to hear,individual songs are as good now as any from the sixties and onwards
 
des i have to disagree from watcing x factor the talent is not there also the electronics usen in this industry now is unbelievable i did see on tv a group asked to sing live , it was awful but the record was quite good sorry it sounded good in that it sounded like they could sing. its all hype and money

cliff come back all is forgiven or release rolph's 2 little boys
 
The thing is Des, Kids are now force fed a diet of X Factor manufactured "stars" and the computer generated nonesense prepared by a geek in his bedroom. It seems like there's no such thing as real musicians any more (even though we know better) Yes some songs are still great, even though I'm a dyed in the wool metaller I have a lot of time for some modern music, but some od the stuff I hear coming out of my kid's bedrooms is just awful repetetive crap
How about a campaign to have Simon Cowell declared illegal:)

if it doesnt have guitars and drums it aint music...
 
Working on a building site once and one of the joiners brought an old guitar that he had found somewhere and he was strumming it as if he was a rock star.
He then gave it to another elderly joiner who knew how to play one, before long we were all huddled around him and mesmerised by his ability. Singing and playing the guitar to the song from an american werewolf in london and many others.
 
Acapella is awesome if done well (tuning is the first step in that direction followed by vocal tone).

So is a song with just a grand piano and a vocalist.

We just need to find a way to wean people off the stuff that is being churned out of the pop industry.
