Blademan_98 Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Totally agree, youre getting old lol But seriously, it does seem to be a dire situation My youngest is into the Beatles and Elvis (she's 12). The middle one loves Jap Rock and the eldest is a Goth....... Takes all sorts. Show her the way of cool music and she can be the next star!

ZMech Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 hasn't pop music always been awful? Most of the pop i've seen from the 70's is absolutely god awful, but the critics of the modern commercial nonsense seem to forget that fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigRedX Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 No one but musos care about musicians being any good at playing. What most people want is a pretty face and a hummable tune. Pop music has always been mostly crap with some good stuff. That never changes. And congratulations - you've turned into your dad. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Remember, tho'. Obsessive little kids are going to keep going back to that video again and again so 40 million views is not 40 million viewers. Jamiroquai fans are likely to be older and will have less time to spend watching favourite videos over and over again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skol303 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I guess the clue is in the name - 'Popular' music - is "exactly what is says on the tin" I can't stand Bieber myself, but not because he's popular, simply because he seems to be an arrogant little brat.

51m0n Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The youngest is 7, his favourite song is I am the Slime by Zappa, the eldest is 17, at his 9th birthday party his friends got to liste to Stockhausen's helicopter quartet while they scoffed their food My work is nearly done I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Vader Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 [quote name='Johnston' post='1288564' date='Jul 1 2011, 08:13 AM']The two youngest will listen to pretty much anything. Who would have though Metallica would work to put a baby to sleep [/quote] I've listened to ...and justice for all a few times, had that effect on me as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 On the mention of Bieber, something annoyed me chronic yesterday when I flicked past the music channels on the telobox. While I couldn't care less about the Canadian teeny bopper having a career and milking it, what's irked me is that he's done a single with Chris Brown. The issue? Chris Brown is a woman beater and is the chap who battered the crap out of Rihanna. He should not have a career, much less get it bolstered by person like Bieber who not only has a massive fanbase, but relies on a squeaky clean image.

steve-bbb Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 fear not - if you wish to console yourself with a real guitarist who can actually play ratherwell combined with a massive number of youtube hits, then just search on youtube for Andy McKee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
