THINGS THAT I HATE: Today's Music

Post Reply New Topic

Some great albums released this decade:

Dirty Three - Whatever You Love, You Are
Lofty Pillars - Amsterdam
The Microphones - Mount Eerie
Polmo Polpo - Like Hearts Swelling
The Fiery Furnaces - Gallowsbird's Bark
Menomena - I Am the Fun Blame Monster
Colleen - The Golden Morning Breaks
Sufjan Stevens - Illinois
Joanna Newsom - Ys
Wildildlife - Six
Dan Deacon - Bromst

Same here, with the exceptions of Lady Gaga, Beyonce and The Lonely Island.
Everything else on my MP3 player is an ecclectic mixture of classic rock from the 70s and early 80's, funk, soul, disco as well as a lot of 90's stuff-mostly grunge, indie and nu-metal.
Personally speaking, it's more a matter of personal taste rather than tarring everyone with the same brush.
To say you hate EVERYTHING this decade has to offer is counter-productive. Some people like one type of music more than another, that's not to say one genre is worse than the other.

Chill out man.

LOL: I'm listening to Ugly Kid Joe's "I Hate Everything About You" as I type this! IRONY!!

I certainly hate anything Top-40 from the last fifteen years. But, there has been good music that has been released in the past year. I host a campus radio show where I have to play at least two new songs a show. I have found it to be very easy. Also, 2009 has been the first year in which I have actually gone to the record store on the day an album has come out an bought it. I have probably bought more new music in 2009 than in any other year of my life. So, as you can see there is great new music out there, you just have to look for it. Most commercial radio does not help in that regard.

I don't have much problem with a lot of current pop music (electronica-based).

I liked Cascada's new album released earlier this year.
