Why does most new music suck?


Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.

Frogman, you are killing me. Especially since I must admit that you are absolutely correct. But did you have to say it? :)
Wow, this thread has been much more interesting than I first thought it would be. I must strongly agree with Frogman's last post. I especially agree with "We live in a time when standards are being given less and less importance. It is much more important to be "open minded", and to have a strong sense of what is good and what is bad (or what is right and what is wrong), to judge, is looked down upon. I think that is unfortunate, and is a big part of the reason that there is so much bad "pop" music today. " It is as if aesthetics do not matter at all anymore.
