Does the music of this decade suck?

[Secret_Riddle]

The music of this decade is pretty pathetic..

 

[ultimatefan]

Cindy Lauper and Devo are awesome. Devo happened to be one of the most inventive and creative bands of the time.

Lauper's music is far from crap. "Time After Time" is one of the most perfectly crafted songs in the annals of popular music.

Sorry, can´t stand either. Personal taste thing, just that.

 

[ultimatefan]

Yeah, I think music started sucking around 1998 with the advent of TRL.

The '90s were good because it was a backlash against the style over substance MTV music of the '80s. Unfortunately, we've gone back to style over substance again.

It was a superficial backlash, grunge for instance deep down didn´t have any substance.

The music of this decade pretty much sucks.
Muse is the exception.

 

[Mr. Thing]

The White Stripes, The Raconteurs, Muse and Franz Ferdinand are pretty much the only modern music I listen to.

You know who I can't stand, The View. God, I ****ing hate them.

 

[hippie_hunter]

There has been a lot of great music this decade:
Green Day

If one more person says that Green Day is great, I'm going to shoot them in the ****ing head. Green Day ****ing sucks American Idiot ****ing sucks

I agree The View are the terrible. another band NME is butt kissing and over hyping. They are worst than the kooks who also suck.

I hate Robbie Williams as well. nothing to do with the topic but I hate that talentless moron more than anything.

Green Day has to be the most overrated band of all time.
I told my friends that I didn't like Green Day, and they went "OMG are you crazy?"
I said "Yes, but that has nothing to with it."
They're not as talented as people think they are, and are kind of getting a little too political now.

 

[Warhammer]

I love how people are dogging Backstreet Boys, N' Sync, BBMak, LFO, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson, and 98 Degrees.

Most of y'all loved it back then.
Only now can you "say" that you hated it....

Spoiler

The funny thing is that I remember most of all of their songs, word for word.

Agreed.
Green Day is so overrated.
Them winning the Grammy a couple of years ago made me angry, pissed, confused, depressed, and dazed. Actually, they suck. Their kind of rock sucks ass. F*** their stupid political bulls***. Those stupid mascara wearing *****es.

[spoler]LOL! I do too.
I still like BBMak, Mandy Moore and Christina. Those were the most talented people out of the bunch.[/spolier]

Agreed.
Muse is one of my favorite bands.

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

As far as R&B and Hip Hop are concerned...absolutely. With a few noted exceptions, this decade has mostly yielded sugar-coated, baseless cheese confections. The last great decade for those genres was the early-to-mid nineties.

In my opinion.

Oh yeah.
Hip-Hop/R&B were at it's best from early-to-mid nineties.
That was where it was at, and I downloaded so much of it on my computer.

I know! We had the best groups then--especially with R&B...

En Vogue, Guy, Troop, Toni-Tone-Tony, Jodeci, SWV, Mint Condition, TLC....


*sigh*

And all we have now is some damn Pussycat dolls.

 

[gap5ewl]

the music of the decade is horrible. gangsta rap is just pathetic and ignorant. and now emo music all the rave and will probally be the leading music of the 2010's so it doesn't look like it's gonna get any better.

OMG.
Those were the good times.
That was my golden age of music.

Agreed, me too. That's why I say these kids today don't know what real rhythm & blues is about.

But we've got some hopefuls keeping the torches burning, like Robin Thicke, Jill Scott and Musiq.

Plus SWV is recording a reunion album for release at the end of the year so that'll be something nostalgic for us old heads.

Thicke and Scott I like, but I haven't been all that hot on Musiq since Juslisen. But trying to find out what Maxwell's been up to. Urban Hang Suite is golden.

Musiq is inconsistent, but I liked his Soulstar album...that record reminded me of why I liked him in the first place.

But you know who I'm really missing right now? D'Angelo. At one time he was embarking on greatness. Then he got all caught up in drugs and life and becamed a puffy-eyed joke. The tragedy...

 

[Warhammer]

I love Robin Thicke.
He's the man.

 

[Cmill216]

I love Robin Thicke.
He's the man.

What's weird is I had that album well before this sudden rise of his. It was almost like everybody was suddenly discovering this new sensation, and I had been listening to the dude for months.

 

[Warhammer]

I got the album when it was released.
"Wanna Love You" got me hooked, especially since the song came out a year before the whole album was released.

 

[Speedball]

You guys do know he's been around since 2003 right?

 

[Lightning Strykez!]

I love Robin Thicke.
He's the man.

You seen his wife?
