They just can't replicate the awesomeness of the stuff I grew up with.

I'd say get off my lawn but I have never in my life heard anything as horrendous as autotune. Even when it's not used conspicuously  - which is unlistenable - a lot of pop music seems to run every vocal through it anyway so it lines up perfectly in a way with the music that makes it seem soullessly  robotic.

And not robotic in the good Gary Numan way.

South Park had a great episode on this.

I say it in every one of these threads and I'm going to keep saying it. 

There is still a lot of great music being written and performed these days, sometimes you just have to go off the beaten path a little ways to find it.

Pretty much.
The good old hard rock died with the LedZep. But there was heavy metal, as its best! Pity it disappeared around when i was born. So i grew up on power metal. But the last rock/metal albums i really enjoyed was Helloween's Gambling with the Devil and Megadeth's United Abominations. Even the melodic pop died (lol) as there is electro and dubstep everywhere. Where this world is going?

Mindblowing solo, by the way.

You're comparing mainstream music today with non-mainstream music in the '70s and '80s. Please don't make me find an example of mainstream '70s music... Pretty please with sugar on top!


Music today is fine, if you just turn of the radio and search it out.

There's no doubt the music of our generation is fantastic and still popular today. But I don't really listen to it much anymore. I've heard Smoke On The Water, Stairway to Heaven, And IronMan at least a thousand times. I like finding the new fresh stuff, although I have to admit that what I consider good new music is hard to find these days. And that's in all category's of music, whether it be reggae, rock, country, jazz......

One of my favorite bands recently reformed, they were originally active back in the 80's and put out a single album before going their separate ways (a 2nd album was released after they split).

For people looking for a good dose of rock 'n roll I would heavily recommend the True Believers, one music critic once described them as an army of guitars.  They're a little older now but never count a bunch of old punks out.

We live in an age where anyone who wants to make music a certain way can do it and find and audience, through the internet, get signed by a tiny independent label and end up touring the world without ever having an album or single come close to charting on the Billboard 200, whereas in the past they would die due to lack of a local scene and major label support. It doesn't matter what kind of music you like, what kind of weird fetishes or mixtures you want to hear, you can find at least one band doing exactly what you want, to an almost custom tailored sounding degree, if not a whole movement or scene based around it.
If you can't find 'modern music' you like, the only fault lies in your own close mindedness and/or technical illiteracy, especially with the popularity of retrospection in music (and everything else for that matter) in the internet age.

todays music pretty much sucks. i keep trying to give it a chance.......then i come back to reality, and find myself music from the 60's, 70's or 80's. to the point where i don't even listen to radio in the mustang anymore. i plug in a thumb drive with music i've loaded off of my computer, and listent o that.
