Better Music Was In The Past

I personally like music from the late 60's, 70's, & 80's better than today's music. Some stuff today is alright, but I think for the most part the music industry has lost its touch. A lot of artists nowadays use autotuning. It's not necessarily a bad thing, but when you hear more autotune than voice, that's when it gets annoying. For example, the Black Eyed Peas music is pretty catchy, but they sound horrible live. And yes, despite what some people might think, the Super Bowl halftime show was a disaster. There are too many artists that have no talent whatsoever, like Willow Smith. I don't care if she whips her hair back and forth, the song is a jumble of autotune crap. American Idol has definitely helped in finding raw musical talent. Look at Carrie Underwood, she was just a poor farm girl before it, and now she's famous. I don't watch American Idol anymore, it's gotten too repetitive. The music from the 60's, 70's & 80's actually has talent. They had little to no autotuning in those days, so the true talent actually shined through. I do agree that some people back then didn't have the best voices, like Axl Rose. The degree of musical talent back then was definitely greater than it is now. Guitarists back then came up with amazing and diverse solos and riffs, but nowadays it seems as though artists use the same riffs over and over again. Of course, all if this is just my opinion, I want to know what you think.

  1. knucles i do agree with you that some of the music now adays is just crap, but i do like some of the now days songs expecialy the rock music is pretty good. Although most rock stars do not use autotuning witch makes them sound good in live concerts.
