The music out today is bad, not because of the absence of solos or bad lyrics, although those facts do contribute, but it's that all the music sounds the same. I was at some party the other day, and they played 2 cd's and me and my drummer ( for my band) had asked the host what band it was, and she was like " Its a mix with all different Bands". I cracked up, because i was like : it all sounds the same". Thats too bad about the music today. My bro though knows ALOT of music, So luckily he tells me some good new bands that are out makin cd's.
