We kind of touched on this the other evening in chat @
Skippy I think music was good up to a certain year. Then it all went to the dogs. For me the rave scene and boy bands and girl bands just about killed music off. I still love to listen to the late 70's and early 80's music. Be it punk or ska music or even some mod music.
If I look around today I struggle to find many good singers out there. Paul Weller I love to listen to. He was the front man with The Jam and The Style Council, before going solo. Still putting out some amazing music. The Red Hot Chilli Peppers I love as well. Their last album, the getaway was a bit different. At least they are writing and recording the own songs. Jack Johnson is another one I like. Though not heard anything new from him in a long time. As you can see I don't stick to one style of music. If something is good I will give it a go. If I take to it, it will always be here with me. But most of what I listen to is old music. Music like you won't find today. Back from the late 60's through part of the 70's. Real singer / song writers. The one thing that is lacking in the chats today. You want a real singer / song writer, you have to go to some underground club today. The money is been pumped into all the fabricated BS music. I still live in hope that real music will return one day. To clean up this mess of a music world we are currently living in.
