The ones you posted. ALL of the modern music seems to have this depressing,, dreary sound, with VERY little beat, and sounding like the singers are singing through the nose. The 80's music was NOT like that, it was hi-energy, with good beats and such. 70's music was even better.

Well I do like Pat Benatar, Areosmith and Black Sabbath. But those are the only two I know fro the 80s lol.

The worst thing about modern music (to me) is the fact that the "musicians" either don't know how to tune their instruments, or think it's "cool" (or whatever the new word for "cool" is) to play instruments that are out-of-tune. Or maybe they just play so badly that the instruments sound out of tune.

I haven't figured out which, yet.

Yeah, agreed. I love al ot of music from the 1950's to the 1980's and generally anything except Rap or Hip-Hop although I've heard a commercial for Hormel Foods of what could have been considered rap that came out in the early 1960's and so on which was kind of creative though. BTW, still working on that song you were re-wording that came from "Who Do You Think You Are" by Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods? They are a favorite group of mine along with "Peppermint Rainbow" although I'm reaching back to the 1960's on that one.

70's music... Yeah! It's playing at my house 95% of the time, and it's sooooOOOoooo funky! My modern fave (by far) is Jamiroquai. Of course, he has one whiney song about Blair/Bush on the otherwise fabulous new Dynomite! cd, which I skip, but it's so obvious that Jay Kay is a disciple of Roy Ayers, Pleasure, Brothers Johnson, et al. Plus he's an incredible singer, and the musicicians. Are. So. FUNKY!

As for Mickey J., I cannot dispute that his Quincy Jones-produced hit's from the 80's earned him the King of Pop title for that whole century. I still turn it up when I hear the super-high compression coming through the FM in my truck... but the rest of that guy's story = sickens.
