I second the Kinks and The Beatles... I can take or leave the rest. But they all stand out above the rubbish my daughter's peer group favors. I have her listening to a much wider variety of musical forms than the average tween, of course. She still tends to favor bubblegum a lot, but at least she's getting it from different decades. And she'll listen to Rush and Queen, and she loves The Beatles and the Kinks.
I feel this gives some hope for the future.

Modern music is rather bland.
Most often the music is put in the back seat, the singer and the videos, the celebrity-machine and the media hype is taking the front seat.
Looks is what sells in most mainstream modern music.
Older music didn't relate as much to such ephemeral concepts.
But of course, there are jewels in modern music as well.
I like:
classical music (Bach, Tchaikovsky etc)
modern symphonic music (such as various soundtracks by Howard Shore, Wojciech Kilar . . .)
american folk music (Bod Dylan)
most hard rock, heavy metal from the 70s and 80s
but one can find pearls in most genres actually,
as long as it isn't too bland.
But, then again, music is a very subjective thing.  |

| I love older artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin. Some music these days is tolerable, but most of it is pretty uninspired. I also listen to bands that progress into the new decade such as Slayer, and Depeche Mode. |

modern rock music is still as good as it used to be.
It's that music which has lots and lots of electronically synthed tunes, it's got no feel and repeats itself.
Also rap gets on my nerves, its just people talking to a beat, usually about money, getting shot by other people and random stupid stuff like that.
I really like oldern and modern metal and australian hip hop, especially the ones who corroborate with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, it sounds really good.
I really enjoy Iron Maiden, Metallica, Black Sabbath etc for my 70's to 90's metal. I then enjoy the melodic, folk and jazz influenced metal thats common today.
I am obsessed by my music |
