My thoughts exactly, Jolly; What i was suprised at was how popular they are with teenagers, though. I'd say that people are losing their ability to listen and judge music for themselves and not from the stance of their own generation. For example, Ewan McCall (Sea-Shanty Folk Musician) made this obscure record in the late 50's called Blow Boys Blow, as well as Thar She Blows. There was this song called "Off To Sea Once More" (written around 1860, obviously not by him) that I let a girl listen to, and I asked her to really listen to it and ask me what she thought. She listened, and was angry that there wasn't a chorus, and found it hard to pinpoint, "it wasn't catchy". Don't bore us, get to the chorus! Music is not getting better, it's getting progressively worse, each and every year. When the top 10 is filled with rappers, I have to wonder what kind of world this is.
