Well when your charts are ruled by people like Rihanna and her overproduced vocals, Lady Gaga and Kesha's autotune...

lovely bit of generalising going on there
im sure if auto tune was around 40 years ago it would have been used a lot then as well. ftr i dont even like rihanna, but she can sing so im not sure when her vocals have been over overproduced? lady gaga only has a few songs where its dominated by auto tune, and if you want to get technical about it find me one singer these days that doesnt use pitch correction on their records to make them sound perfect. like i said it would have been used on "old music" if it existed then. and yeah ke$ha does use auto tune a lot, but she can also sing contrary to popular belief

The older the music pretty much the more talent is involved. These days the charts and full of no-talents who rely on the studio to make them sound decent.

I don't listen to old music at all. Nothing about it interests me

i luled. i like how you imply that the charts used to have talent as opposed to now. the charts have always been filled by bandwagon riding talentless "artists," even back in the 60's and 70's. you're only looking back on previous decades and seeing the people we remember rather the ones we dont (because they were bad.) its easy to look at todays charts and say "oh these artists suck" but look at any chart from any random week in the 60's and 70's and you probably haven't even heard of the large majority of them. oh, and nothing will ever beat the horrendous decade that was the 80's.

the 70's were ruled by the guys who wrote "afternoon delight" and the 80's were ruled by, well i dont even have to tell you lol look at any pop artist and try not to puke on your keyboard. and dont say "oh but what bout led zeppelin?!?!?" -- they were critically panned in their day. we may think of them as classic now but a lot of the music press back then thought they were awful, while the "afternoon delight" guys won a grammy. go figure. the charts, and grammys for that matter, dont represent the music of the times.

keep in mind that in the past decade, there has been far more music released than in the previous 4 decades combined, not including things from the internet. dig a little deeper into your music. the difference between music today and music "back then" is that music today is exponentially more diversified, thus theres almost no common consensus. in the 70's there was a huge social division between fans of the who and fans of led zeppelin. today this division seems comical, seeing as how those bands sound largely the same.

anyway, i liked classic rock etc when i was growing up cause its what my dad listened to, but since id say high school ive listened to almost only new music, as there is more than enough to keep me occupied. although i do like some pre-90's stuff such as sonic youth, velvet underground, joy division, r.e.m., the pixies, etc.

It's boring as hell for the vast majority and I don't care if they were more technically able than current musicians (which I don't believe to be the case anyway) if it sounds crap I don't want to listen to it. Furthermore:

"When I'm ridin' round the world
and I'm doin' this and I'm signing that
and I'm tryin' to make some girl
who tells me baby better come back later next week
'cause you see I'm on losing streak.
I can't get no, oh no no no.
Hey hey hey, that's what I say"

Hardly takes more talent and vision to write than

"Visualising the realism of life and actuality -
**** who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary.
And my mentality is money orientated,
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
'cause yeah, we were beginners in the hood as five percenters
But something must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners,
Now some, resting in peace and some are sitting in San Quentin,
Others such as myself are trying to carry on tradition."

The topic in question is rather vague though, like asking 'do you like music??'

[Becca]

All music takes talent.. I do love classic rock but new now-a-day music is getting really good.

[Gina]

If the music wasnt good, then why would it still be well known? LOLOL
I think all types of music all have a good thing about it, good be the lyrics, could be the tune or anything tbh
