MTV ruined music in my opinion.  Music has been in a downward spiral since around 1985.  I'm 25 years old and I listen to mostly to the music my parents and grandparents grew up with.  There are a few good artists right now like Jack Johnson and Norah Jones.

Emo could perhaps be the worst music assaulted on our senses today. The whole point it seems, is to sound as shitty as the previous band. You have to make sure you take 3 stupid words and put them together in a retarded fashion for your band name (note: try words like "november", "blood", "fashion"), Then have some jackass sing all high-pitched about some girl he likes at school, while the bass player tries his best to mimic Norwegian Death Metal all the while sounding like crap. Yes Emo is the new Butt-Rock and in 10 years time, sad looking 30 year-olds with bad haircuts, will be pumping gas in a My Chemical Romance t-shirt.

well I'm 17 and I'm REALLY thankful for older music because today's music just isn't the same, but most people today would probably say the opposite sadly.

alot of bands did songs in one take back then.  Engineers do not do this anymore and alot of times the differnt band parts don't even play and record on the same time. However i think that the newer styles of recording are not that good.

It's not really fair to judge this decade's music just yet.  I thought the music of the 80s sucked during the 80s but now I mostly listen to 80s music on the radio.  \n\nIn 10-15 years, we'll probably appreciate this decade's music more than we do now.

Don't look at mainstream music when you judge what people put out today(or at least not a lot of mainstream stuff).\nThere were a lot of bad bands back in the day, and there are many now. People just get mediocre semi-talented bands thrust into their ears every day through a monopolized radio and TV. People have an incredible tool (in the internet) to find new interesting music but don't use it at all. Bands like Neutral Milk Hotel, Explosions in the Sky, The Decemberists, Wolf parade, The Arcade Fire, TV on the Radio, Sigur Ros, Broken Social Scene, Regina Spektor, Final Fantasy, the Tragically Hip, Stars rarely get any media attention(Except some of the above in canadian media where they come from like the Hip). Sure, the listed music isn't for everyone, but I find it as great as a lot of the oldies like kraftwerk, The Rolling Stones, Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Earth Wind & Fire, etc.\n\n\nIn short, music publicized in today's media is pretty crappy. You have to delve around to find the good stuff.

Its alrite, i bought it, its not that good. Only like 3 or 4 songs on it are good. I say just get an older cd, like Terror State or A New Kind of Army. Both of those are kick ass.

hearing the song i hate and not being able to turn it off would be the worse cause it would put me in a crappy mood.  as for hearing a song i like and not being able to turn it up really doesn't matter cause i sing louder than the radio any way.

what hath lynyrd skynyrd wrought? i think that most of what comes out of nashville these days is what would have been called pop music 25 or 30 years ago, crap maybe, but i find the evolution interesting. certainly a lot of  music, no matter what label it's given,has the bottom line of how much cash it's going to bring in, if the person singing it has that attitude or not, and that always waters the music down to it's lowest common denominator. a lot of music i ignore if i don't like it, country or not, even among "artists" that i like. it does seem as if you have to wade through a lot of fluff until you hear something you like, or are turned on to some good music by somebody.  but i'm sure the crap sounds good to some people, and that's okay if i don't get it, as i'm sure a lot of people don't get the first set of the dead at winterland, sf 12/29/77. but yeah, i could do without a song that is nothing more than a sports chant, that's like writing "someone's knocking on the door, someone's ringing the bell."

It is annoying regardless of what time of day they do it...I refer to the blasting of music, as "recycled music" because I get to hear it from someone else's radio...

Today's music sucks so much because: \n1) Record labels are looking for hits, not albums.  \n2) "Talent" must always LOOK marketable.  \n3) Too much of the recording industries' troubles are being blamed on "illegal downloading", rather than taking the responsibility themselves for putting out crappy music.\n4) ALL (yes, ALL) new rock acts today have nothing new to offer.  Everything put out today is a ripoff of 90's alt-rock. (Example - Nickelback, Staind, etc...EVERY song uses that same minor-key harmony that originated with Alice In Chains).\n5) Most people are sheep and will listen to whatever a record company shoves in their face.\n6) Nearly every song has the same pattern...a light opening, then blaring guitars midway through the first verse, then a catchy and annoying chorus.  In other words, it's PREDICTABLE!\n\nOverall, there's a BIG lack of originality in today's music.  The "talent" isn't talented...just good at ripping off whatever has already been done.  I understand having influences, but these bands literally play the SAME thing.  As a huge music fan, I've been largely disappointed since around 1998.

The 90's were it mate, to much hip pop hop rubbish at the moment.\nOnly dance music has had a good few years in my eyes.\nLove the 90's man, guitar music was at it's best, lost interest in lots of the music nowadays, even indie and rock stations are crap.\nAnd in the 90's we had a proper little Ska revival, crack on 90's.

I agree with you. But i'd rather have it keep a low profile than be mainstream. Not everyone understands how to relax to our kind of music. Imagine all the skeptism non-listeners have said and will say if this breaks out of the box.
