| Whats on your turntable tonight? Checkfield - Water, Wind and Stone love the album but wish they had used the Oxford comma | |
| I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? It can be difficult to both realize and admit that our taste are changing, especially as we get older. Especially when we realize that the hobby or Pursuit that we have chased so diligently for years just no longer matters to us as much as it did.... | |

| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! @baldric the phrase, okay boomer, applies to anyone, not just boomers. And again, music paradigms are changing. If you're going to judge music by contemporary pop then just about every generation is going to suck. They're a hundreds and hundreds ... | |
| The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!! This and several other recent threads beg to be answered with, "OK, Boomer." I get how it's harder to accept change with age, but to assume the present isn't as good as the past is to simply increase the pressure that leads to fossilization. | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. Reference 3a de Capos have no toe in. Tash recommended that and I've found out it's true. When I toe them in they lose definition. | |

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @devinplombier +1 on your post. The idea of culture morphing into entertainment and, truthfully, everything being an iteration of Gaming.

| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato "Anyone with ears knows Joni, Paul, and Gordon have no equal." True, just like anyone with ears knows that Kendrick, Kacey, and SZA have no equal. | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato @vitussl101 oddly enough, the main market for that street thug music that you so generally described are suburban white teenagers. | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Times change. The poetic zeitgeist of the 60s is gone. The social, racial, and political lyrics zeitgeist of the 80s and 90s is pretty much gone. To @mahgister s point of their not being a "collective positive movement" - well, he’s right. We have... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato The Beatles era was 60 years ago. And it’s not like the Beatles were riding incredibly Deep lyrics and their first few albums, either. I challenge anyone to look at the top 40 charts from this week in 1964, 74, 84, 94, 2004, Etc, and see how many ... | |
| «Today’s Lyrics Are Pathetically Bad» Rick Beato Beato is a knowledgeable but angry boomer shaking his fist at musical clouds in order to rack up views and likes.
