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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
