| Why does most new music suck? Act,How many songs prior to 2000 match up to Watchtower?OTOH, Long and Winding Road? There's a very long list of those. You taste is your taste, and my takeaway is that todays innovative music is barking up a Different tree. If you limit yourself ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? One more thought re: a preference for simple melodies. If you're a fan of Zep, then you probably like involved melodies more than you might think. While the vocal melodies and the riffs in their music are generally pretty simple, the melodies that... | |
| Why does most new music suck? FYI Raconteurs fans. I'm a huge Jack White fan, but Brendan Benson is a (some might argue the) major contributor to the sound of that band. All of BB's solo stuff is worth checking out. Regarding the NME 150 list,That thing looks like it was assem... | |
| Overall opinions on Harman Kardon The HK 990 integrated is probably my favorite 2 channel integrated on the market. I always liked the digital in, 2.2 channel, room corrected, digital bass management approach, but I was unable to hear one until recently. I only got a brief listen ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Sorry, in my world, there's only one acceptable cover of this song.Marty McFly in Back to the FutureA smokin' solo from (I'm told) Mark Campbell of Jack Mack & The Heart Attack | |
| Why does most new music suck? For those seeking interesting new pop music, I'd suggest searching those threads in this forum that include the recommendations of A'gon user Richard Stacy. They come in 2 flavors; electronica and singer-songwriter. The former is, alas, lost on me... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Csontos,The question of art that offends is an interesting one to me. Whether they were throwing eggs at the debut of Rite of Spring because the music was strident or because the choreography was suggestive is irrelevant to me. Either way, it was ... | |

| Why does most new music suck? I made no attempt to cloud any issues in my previous post. If the wider audiophile community is meaningfully different demographically from the community here on A'gon, it would surprise me - not that I couldn't be surprised. I make no argument th... | |
| Why does most new music suck? I think you missed my point. This community is dominated by (though not completely composed of) conservative music lovers. A glance at the music threads over time will confirm that. The music of Jimmy Page is certainly far more beloved here than s... | |
| Why does most new music suck? My mistake. What's pleasing to Csontos is - perforce - pleasing to all. More importantly, what's displeasing to Csontos is displeasing to all.And what's close minded is when it's raining and you ask the guy next to you to stop pissing on your leg. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Might as well stir up the pot.Simao,Where did you get the "Rhythm and Poetry" Village Voice attribution for the etymology of the word "rap"? I've seen the term "hip hop" attributed to the Voice, but never "rap" and I can't find anything like it on... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Frogman,My point about progress is that as music moves forward, it may lose me from time to time. Maybe I'll catch up, maybe I won't. Maybe the music took a bad turn and there's nothing to catch up to, because the way forward may involve some temp... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Interesting comments about the music suffering for the "separation of artists and instruments". Intuitively, I'd reach the opposite conclusion. As technology changes, music adapts. To me, rock n roll is the musical child of the electric guitar. Ha... | |
| Old Flagship Vs New Mid-Level Receiver I'm unfamiliar with your B&K, but I have compared my xt32 equipped Onkyo prepro to my old Theta prepro and IMHO there are two answers to your question, depending on your set-up.1). If you use subwoofers, the odds are good that the xt32 (or equ... |
