What percentage of music today is Doo Doo?

Recommended Posts

You really have to search for something worth listening to today. The (free) radio doesn't help anymore. Music has always been money maker. And yet nothing. Why are the Rolling Stones still touring? If Led Zeppelin does a 50th anniversary tour, will it not be the biggest shows of the year?  I hate sounding like an old fug on the lawn, but music is terrible today. No heart. No soul.

On the FM radio....yeah sounds about right.

I feel fortunate to have discovered some great new music in the past few years.

Kurt Vile's newest album is great. Father John Misty's "I Love You Honeybear" and its follow-up "Pure Comedy" are two of my favorite albums ever. Tame Impala is about to drop a new album...that entire catalogue is great. Francis and the Lights last two albums are great.

Great music is out there, just have to be lucky enough to find it.

There is a lot of good music but like mentioned above you have to put in some work to find it, and in my experience, across all genres there is good stuff.     You don't find it on the radio, especially Charlotte radio, but you sometimes can on Sirius/XM.

On a serious note there's a reason why hip hop is destroying mainstream rock right now.  A lot of sincere, genre-bending, ambitious stuff is being made in that style of music.

Really what's the most exciting thing going on in surface rawk right now, Greta Van Fleet or whatever?  That band that's trying to be a clone of that other band that broke up 40 years ago?

Yeah there isn't much actual rock in mainstream it's just Imagine Dragons type stuff.    Greta is actually a pretty good band and on their latest album they did some more original type stuff that is better than the more Zeppelin-ish stuff.    They also do a lot of jam session 19 minute songs live that are pretty good.  To be fair, Zeppelin was one of the biggest rip off artists of all time with their music.     But everyone sounds like someone, just some more than others.    

I can say there is a lot of good metal going on right now but you have to search for it.

Dermot Kennedy is one of the very few who is rightfully in the limelight right now. Him and Noah Gundersen are absolute geniuses. If you like soulful acoustic rock please go check them out.

The doom genre seems to be doing well right now.  I'm not involved in it myself but it seems like there's a regional or bigger national band coming through Durham or Chapel Hill a few times a month.

lots of good stuff. lots of crap too. it all depends on what you like (what you consider good music) and where you look for it. I don't have a problem finding good stuff to listen to. I've got a good few stations across several genres on pandora. I've got to train the stations a bit but I find good stuff. of course most of the stuff has a little age on it, but a surprising amount is pretty current. 

good  music is always getting made. of course sucky music is always getting made as well. the great thing about this era is that it is so much easier to make good recordings of stuff and get it out there than it was back when I was making it 20ish years ago. I mean lots of junk gets out there too, but the good stuff gets out there as well.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
