K, thought I'd add my 2 pence, I have to listen to the radio every day cause i go to school on a bus and other people want it on. In my opinion it plays terrible music.
Beyonce - Don't really like. New R nd B just isn't R and B like Martha Franklin, its more a pop and R and B mix.
Madonna - Her earlier work was ok, but she has gone the pop way, making music that just doesn't seem as good as her earlier stuff.
Christina Aguilera - nice voice, again, not very good - pop music
Eminem - I didn't mind his music but i think he's just run out of the good ideas, he needs to stop telling people to screw off and he needs to stop complaining about his mum.
Evanescence - Their music is ok, i like the fact that not all their music is heavy. They have some good tunes but, frankly, I'm not really into new metal.
Brtiney Spears (I would have called her something else) - Trash from the word go, makes bad music for small amounts of money. I hate it when people put bad music to a good beat for a low price and make millions. Also, she seems to use the same tune in a few of her songs - creativity? h yeah, the skin thing too - a lot of people adore her for her 'sexy' looks in virtually nude photographs postered everywhere. Thats not how to promote even pop music.
Delta Godreem - Don't know em, cant comment
Black eyes peak - again, don't know em
Hilary Duff - haven't heard any of her works so don't know.
All in all, I don't like much pop music because I feel there is a lack of skill involved in most of it nowadays (and yeah, I think I could write better music). It's basically getting some beats and a tune, writing some lyrics (in most cases about love, we need some difference) and selling the song, making millions for nearly nothing (in comparison to the money they have). I don't like slipknot for the same reason, it sounds more like noise and just doesn't have much deep 'feeling' in it, just screaming. Their new stuff seems to be more new metal, and if so, I think they need to lose the hate image (and those masks which I feel, are really ointless). Most new metal bands show their faces (eg linkin park). System O A D are ok, and at least have their own style and interesting lyrics.
Bands like soundgarden, Mogwai, Pink floyd and a host of others, all seem to really put across meaning in their songs (and not just about love and high school) and write good, skillful music. If music does take a turn, and we go through a 50s - 80s type era, I don't think I'll mind at all,
Just my 2 pence,
Adam
