I totally agree, darling! Alot of music today is absolutely rubbish! I hate rappers and how they don't and can't sing and say every word. Songs about how many whores they've been with or who they're going to shoot or constant swearing and violence or reference to drugs! No wonder young generations are becoming un-civilised, rude and breaking the law every 5 seconds. Queen is real music that people can fully appreciate and enjoy for a life time. I hope Queen music stays alive forever and some of the music today fades away and is never remembered...after all, there is no reason to want to remember crap like that! |
| firefox-inqueen 06.03.2006 14:17 |
if you compare queen to bands now you will see that the crowds just dont have a real good time anymore. in a queen concert people would sing out and have the time of there life - power and inspiration queen=perfection |

Artists today are so far up their back sides that they don't want the audience to join in! "oh no, shut up and listen to my 'art' and ME ME ME!"...is basically what they're saying! Everyone could really express themselves, join in and have a good time with Queen shows. Alot of audiences today are too busy screaming, getting drunk and getting into fights! |

I think all decades have got poot bits + good bits. It's unfair to put down everything going on currently just because it's not Beatles or Led Zeppelin. > 1. to much swearing. And surely Queen never used bad words... > 2. not as much happy music There's a larger variety now imo, but it doesn't mean "happy" music is over. > 2. you dont have to do anything to get number 1 in the charts. Totally disagree. > 3. No inspiration. Ditto. > 4. no effort Ditto. > 5. live concerts are rubbish. Ditto. In other words, which are your basis for such statements? > Alot of music today is absolutely rubbish! So is a lot of past music, so what? > I hate rappers and how they don't and can't sing and say every word. Perhaps not every word but most of them. > Songs about how many whores they've been with And surely 60s lyrics are fullfilled with Shakespearean quality... > reference to drugs! Yes, in opposite to 60s or 70s when there was NEVER any reference to drugs. > No wonder young generations are becoming un-civilised Younger generations are becoming uncivilised but imo it's not deeply related to music. > rude and breaking the law every 5 seconds. None of that is new. > Queen is real music that people can fully appreciate and enjoy for a life time. So are the Foos or Green Day, to some (including me). > I hope Queen music stays alive forever and some of the music today fades away and is never remembered... Why? Just because you don't like it nobody else is entitled to? > there is no reason to want to remember crap like that! I love a lot of that crap, and I'm incredibly proud to say that. > if you compare queen to bands now you will see that the crowds just dont have a real good time anymore. If so they wouldn't attend the gigs. > in a queen concert people would sing out and have the time of there life - power and inspiration It's not a rule. There's a world outside Queen, you know... > Artists today are so far up their back sides that they don't want the audience to join in! I was part of the audience when we sang along to Black Eyed Peas. Green Day do ask the crowd to sing as well, even blink-182. Post '79 acts can make music, not everything is Beatles + Zeppelin. > "oh no, shut up and listen to my 'art' and ME ME ME!"...is basically what they're saying! Which artists have you watched? > Everyone could really express themselves, join in and have a good time with Queen shows.

Most of the music today sucks in my opinion. Today it's all rap and hiphop and more such crap, I hate it. There are some good songs today, but most of it is such crap..the video clips of that music suck too, and the lyrics are all about stupid things. I'd pay a million to go to a concert like live at wembley with Queen, but it's not possible anymore.... |
| flash! 28068 06.03.2006 15:54 |
Seb, dear. I see what you mean. I was refering to how SOME artists are compared to Queen. Yeah, alot of bands today rock and will be remembered possibly just as much as Queen has but i was refering to some artists, in my own opinion, that aren't really 'talented'. You are right also by saying some bands back then were just as bad as some today though, i must say. But what i meant was about the type of music that influences violence, crime, etc is becoming even more of a problem and is setting in to the younger generation even more so at a much younger age. This is encouraging kids to want to be like the rapper and get guns, have whores, take drugs, etc. But i see what you mean about it happening in the past aswell, for example, in 1979 Sid Vicious did a music video for his crazy version of 'My Way' and at the end of the video he pretended to shoot the audience with a gun. His actions actually rubbed off on some of his fans and caused kids to commit arson attacks and gun related crimes, etc. |

My point is that many people reject everything modern just because it's not 70s or 60s. I think people should be more open minded: there are many poor records now (just as much as any year), and likewise there are many marvellous productions (just as much as any year). Try to break the inertia. |
| jordanjo 06.03.2006 16:34 |
i somewhat agree, Queen is the best and theres nothing better than Queen and Zeppelin, everyone should listen to Queen because other bands suck |
| RETROLOVE 06.03.2006 16:58 |
Yeah, I have to agree with the orginal poster! But there is also some good music out also, I really believe that. But for the most part, its all booty shaken, gun glocking, killing etc, W/the more known rappers, 50 cent, Luda, Nelly, the Game, Jay-Z, Three Six Mafia (they won a oscar last night).Its hard for us to understand, cause thats where THEY came from. But hip-hop has very intersting roots, and its all about the stuggle, for real, some of favorite groups are DILATED PEOPLES, SLUM VILLAGE, THE ROOTS, COMMON, Kanye West, Mos Def, etc! I actually like classic hip-hop better than today, it came from the ashes of Disco, and people thought it was a fad, but it really wasnt, as people see. Its been here for 20+ years and its not going away, trust me! People thought Rock music/ aka the devils music was a fad too back in 50's, and you see where that went, lol. Always remember SEX SELLS and RHYMES pay!! But I dont like the way they (rappers) protray women in those videos, especially the way they protray African-American women (I'm black by the way) But I have a very open mind when it comes to music, which I love and adore, and QUEEN one my favorite rock band of all time! My brothers (who listen to rap, hip-hop etc.) always laughs at me when I listen to QUEEN but do you think I care, nope! |
| Freddie_Jr. 06.03.2006 17:43 |
I know exactly how you feel, and believe it or not I'm trying to turn that around. The current band I am in is very 70's rock influenced (Mostly Queen and Zeppelin) and we're trying to turn this decline in music around. I can't promise we'll be up to Queen standards, but we have been putting a lot of effort into our songs, and when we play live we stay true to wanting our crowds to have a good time. Hopefully we'll make it big enough to make a difference. |

Sure, the mainstream stuff in which you kiddies hear isn't that great. But don't diss a generation of music if you haven't heard all of it. Don't even try to disagree with me, because you are wrong. Why are you wrong? Because you haven't heard nearly a quarter of stuff that's out; there is a lot of music (much of it I have reviewed)that stays underground on indie labels. And for those of you who didn't know, "Indie" isn't a type of music; it's not under a rock catagory, but just a name for independently made music. There's indie rap, indie hiphop, etc; it's not just a "ooh look, indie music must be like an obscure form of rock!" Wrong, you twit. Anyhow, most of you (who are young) doubt the talent of music today because of what you hear in the mainstream and/or press. Well try this out for a change: don't base your opinion off of the mainstream and, in place of your dull listenings, hunt for some new music. Trust me, it's there. You know, if you stick with your "golden oldies" of classic rock or whatever, you'll miss out on what YOUR generation has to offer--I hate to break it to you, but if you're only living in a certain era that wasn't even a time you were thought of, then you need to get out more, and discover more; musically, that is. It's about having an open mind, not a closed one. Cheers |

I fully agree |
| DreaminQueen 06.03.2006 19:02 |
Ok... I agree that the mainstream stuff is rather awful.. And ive tried listening to new stuff, and i just cant get into it, its not me. Now QUEEN and the BEATLES are WITHOUT a DOUBT MY MOST FAVORITE FLIPPIN BANDS EVER!!!! But i do like a few newer bands that i dont know how many of you ahve heard of them like KEANE and SCISSOR SISTERS (<-- they're fun to listen to, kinda elton johnish but w/ their own twist) But outside of that, i cannot get into new stuff, ive tried. I just connect best with 60's/70's stuff. Now as far as sex is concerned, its a theme of life, music and literature. But its the way that its portrayed in rap/hiphop music today that i have a problem with. I mean its just girls with nothing on shaking everything to appeal to others. Sex is a serious and beautiful thing that should be as such with someone you love. However, i do agree with the fact that my generation is pretty much out of control. But theres alot of factors adding to that, one for example is that most parents (not all im generalizing here) aren't as in tune with their kids or care about their kids today. Everything is at an outrageous speed in the age of computers and socially it seems as if everyones trying to advace as quick as technology and its not necessary. Everyone needs to slow down and enjoy growing up. And yes im only 16. |

I'm sure many people would have loved any of the new Backstreet Boys' singles if they'd been written or sung by Brian or Roger. > and I don't think that means I have to get out more I think it's just my personal preference. It doesn't. > because a few of the young ones here are completely ignorant and immature doesn't mean everybody under a certain age is. Agreed. Likewise, just because some recent releases are mediocre it doesn't mean every album of this century is. American Idiot, for instance, is marvellously written, very well played, well sung, notably well produced, then why is it put down so much by classic rock fans? Surely everybody's entitled to their opinion, and it's completely respectable if somebody still prefers Dark Side or Led Zeppelin II over American Idiot (or Monkey Business), but still it doesn't mean that everything recent has to be shit. > To be fair, for teenagers to be into Queen in the first place they obviously have an reasonably open mind to go against what their friends like That's sort of a rushed conclusion imo. |

I have found interest in a few modern day artists like James Blunt. Laugh at me if you will..this guy has put effort into his work obviously has a passion for it and I think he's got a great voice, especially when you compare him to other stuff produced these days. Pick up his album and see why. Alot of people give me shit about not listening to this...I am a musician and I know good music when I hear it. Cheers |

This is obviously a heated topic, and I am very interesting in sharing what I have to say. I agree with everyone who has said that music these days is not worth listening to. Sure, it's popular, millions of people are buying into this new music, but where is the essence? The power that fueled such bands as Queen, Led Zeppelin, Rush, ACDC, Def Leppard, etc., no longer exists in today's music. It is now all about popularity and sex appeal, and talent is no longer a factor. Rap has become insanely popular because we have accepted it. Actually, we didn't accept it; it was forced down our throats and now we have to suffer. I don't really like rap; at least, not the new rap. Old school rap was pretty good, because it wasn't all about women and money and 22-inch rims on Escalades, or whatever the hell they rap about these days. Back then it was all about respect, power, and the struggle to make it in this world. That was what it is all about. Now it's all money and crap like that, and it's not worth listening to. And rock music these days? it's mainly commercialized rock: stuff that's played every day on MTV or heard four times in one hour on the radio. It's not the same, and I despise it. I'd much rather jam to classic Queen or pop in my fave Zeppelin album than put my money towards the soft-ass cheesefest that we call 'modern rock'. |

People are so quick to jump on the ball because of the latest rap song on the radio, or Jessica Simpson parading her no-vocal talent on the radio and being so popular. I suggest you look for music that isn't commercialized, since you are so keen on hating everything else that is. Again, my point is proven. Cheers |
| Cwazy little thing 07.03.2006 11:33 |
An interesting topic indeed! Ive long struggled with the question of whether there is an objective standard of music, or whether its entirely personal taste - can we ever say one thing is better than another? I cant answer the question - no one can. To say its preference is something a lot of people might struggle to accept, because it basically means the crazy frog could be considered a classic, marvellous piece of music....I cant deal with that for one. To say there is an objective standard of "good music" is easy, but then what falls in it, and who gets to decide? Its an impossible debate - but it doesnt mean we shouldnt discuss it, because it's very interesting. People get very defensive of their personal taste, which is why they often group together with people who agree with them - theres nothing worse than being ridiculed for liking Queen in a room full of people who completely disagree with you. I once recall as a teenager having an argument with about 5 other drunken teenagers about who was better - Queen (as argued by me) or Queens of the Stone Age (As argued by the others). I learnt then that, even if there were some standard of music, or way of saying one thing is better than another, it would still be disputed due to the force people place behind their own music taste and beliefs. So we hit a brick wall. I once had the idea that an objective standard of music should be completely separated from taste, as people are absolutely entitled to enjoy what they like. More controversially, I also thought that if we were to establish an objective way of assessing music, only people of a certain age and intelligence should be allowed to decide; people of lesser intelligence are incapable of appreciating music on the same level - recognising the skill involved, appreciating the difficulty in producing something, understanding the emotion, meaning and beauty to the extent some others are. Its a bold statement I know. But these people are, furthermore, unable to listen to and take on board the views of others, and consider changing their opinions, or adapting them appropriately - they instead tend to stick to their guns, blindly insisting that theyre right, and everyone else is wrong. As far as age goes - I'll be careful here, because I used to hate people taking a pot shot at anyone else for their age, and suggesting that this should disadvantage someone, but Ive come to the slow conclusion that generally, although by no means all, people below a certain age have not listened wide enough music wise, and are particularly closed minded to other types of music - even if they havent heard them. They are also stubborn and quick to defend their own beliefs without considering that they may not be correct, or that other views are just as valid. Im only 20, and Im happy to admit theres a world of music, some of it probably wonderful, that I havent yet heard, but until I was about 16 I was extremely closed minded, and stuck very rigidly to what I liked - at the time basically Queen, Aerosmith and Genesis, without considering other types of music. In the intervening period I hope Im a little bit wiser, and Im starting to discover some fantastic music I never considered listening to before, but also appreciate music Ive liked for years in a whole new way. While I still broadly like rock, that covers a million different styles in itself, and Ive also branched in to some popier music, some classical, I can appreciate funk, jazz and yes, even SOME rap. But its still not a satisfactory answer, because I appreciate that saying someone is not old, or intelligent enough to say that one type of music is better than another is very judgemental, and prejudicial - so there are difficulties there, and even if we can get past that - intelligent people can disagree as much as unintelligent ones, older as much as younger. (Although I have noticed that, while some bright, older people appreciate certain |

I think specifically concerning modern music, my own view is that there is some great music out there, although I do think it was in greater supply in the sixties, seventies and even the eighties to an extent. The reason modern music is perceived as being rubbish, particularly by people who like rock music - in all its forms, is that pop music is now aimed at a younger, less mature audience, and as a result is dominated by what my mum has always called "bubblegum pop". This audience certainly buys more singles than any other demographic, and probably albums too (although the mega selling music these days tends to be that which attracts other demographics ASWELL - and this is the type of music some people call "commercial" - e.g. Commercial rock/punk/rap, Coldplay). In previous eras rock, punk, funk, dance WAS pop music - no one cared if it was commercial or not (e.g.Bohemian Rhapsody - about as uncommercial as they come; Youre my best friend (maybe WATC etc also - quite commercial), and it seems to me it was aimed at anyone who would listen and enjoy on any level, be it a shallow, or deeper one, but this is no longer the case on the whole. That doesnt mean that there isnt any fantastic music being made, its just it doesnt sell on the same level as modern pop music, or gain as much media focus. Rock wise I think Audioslave, Velvet Revolver, The Darkness, Dirty Americans, Muse and others are all making some fantasic music; you just have to look more carefully to find a lot of it. Finally, I do also think that since the 90's rock music has taken a turn, on the whole, to become a little bit more depressing, and less uplifting or about fun things like sex, drugs and rock n roll (LOL), but again I think this situation is made to look worse by the fact there is an entire genre of rock, most of which is quite popular, and sometimes makes the charts, dedicated to a particularly depressing and poor outlook on life. The thing that is sad is that because it sells so well it breeds more bands whinging about how sad things are - I prefer happier, or straight out more rocking music personally! I'll shut up now. lol |

I would put like this. Music that is "in" today is crap. Almost all of the music in the charts MTV top 20 etc, etc is crap. It's commercial rubbish, and I hate it. But not ALL MUSIC TODAY is crap. 'Lifehouse' is an excellent example of a good band today. But... I mean, Black eyed peas, Pussycat dolls, Kelly Klarcsson (sp?), Green Day, 50 cent, CRAP. |

Mainstream stuff is not good IMO. But there is underground stuff that is good. The Dresden Dolls are fun i like them. I also as previously mentioned, Keane, Scissor Sisters. But what about people like Melissa Etheridge and Alanis Morisette?? They're phenominal. I highly recommend Jagged Little Pill and YES I AM. Those are definatly fantastic albums. But this "emo" fad needs to go. IMO because its making depression and sadness look "cool" and its truly a serious thing and people act that way because its a fad really really discusts me because i have a cousin who actually took his own life, but he didnt broadcast his depression, in fact no one even had any idea. But anyways, its straying from the subject. Its all in personal taste i suppose, but i just dont understand how anyone can like whats out there myself, but obviously they do. But i do miss the real emotion in every ounce of a song. But as said alot of underground stuff is pretty good. But can be hard to find. My friend is always playing some stuff for me. I like to think of music as a package deal, if the lyrics, musicianship and heart are put together in just the right way, you cannot beat it. And that is different for everyone, however current things are popular because of the way its shoved in your face. If i had to say overall it is SOCIETY itself that promotes this kind of stuff. I mean you cannot turn on a radio or TV w/o this incessent "WHATS HOTT AND WHATS NOTT" thing being thrown in your face and as many people are impressionable, they go for it. I admit my jr. high years were like that, but finally in the summer before 9th grade i finally started listening to music I liked that had an effect on me, not hip-hop and rap anymore. I did it because i thought i was suppose to. But then i got wise and in tune with myself and found something i could connect with. And i think thats the beauty of Classic Rock and Motown stuff, its talent, emotion, fun and realistic all at the same time and theres something for everyone. |
