For starters a lot of 80s music is classic because it is cheesy-bad, not because they are innovative, timeless songs. Second, the real problem is the consumer. I mean look at the crap that is on TV and the movies. I heard today someone is making a "Welcome back Cotter" movie. Who thought that was a good idea? The problem is not matter how big a train-wreck the regurgitated crap is, people will plop down their $10 to see the celluloid tripe. The same can be said for TV and music. A quarter of the population would to like to ban everything on the radio and TV that doesn't meet their standards of decency, and the majority of everyone else is happy with cloned acts. Why else does the world need Jessica Simpson, Brittany Spears and Mandy Moore? Aren't these all the same performer? You can't really blame the DMBs of the world for taking advantage of the consumers behavior. They make a new album, same as the last one, and laugh all the way to the bank. Plus, there are very few writers, musicians, etc. capable of perpetually putting out original work. An authors best book is inevitably the first one they write. Terrestrial radio sucks here, but fortunately there is XM. I almost never hear the music on XM played on the radio. I suggest a few of my current favorites: Morningwood, Slater-Kinney, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Killers, Death Cab for Cutie, and Sia to name a few. Hurry, before the rest of the world finds out and ruins a good thing.Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02633935985970527303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679733.post-1143732266864600692006-03-30T10:24:00.000-05:002006-03-30T10:24:00.000-05:00Hanson was from Tulsa.Hanson was from Tulsa.Darth Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13717263605889641353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679733.post-1143713291367628452006-03-30T05:08:00.000-05:002006-03-30T05:08:00.000-05:00I don't know whether to tell you your just miffed ...I don't know whether to tell you your just miffed because you don't have "SUPER CABLE" (the perks of having a roomie working for Time Warner), or gleefully agree becuase I almost crashed the car when I heard the new song "S.O.S." stealing my beloved "Tainted Love". At least P-Diddle is getting sued for his "sampling", brings a very very small sense of justice to the world.Always Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475048975820608508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19679733.post-1143633095184141282006-03-29T06:51:00.000-05:002006-03-29T06:51:00.000-05:00so all of these people are just manufacture robot ...so all of these people are just manufacture robot clones of MTV well if thats true then or course we can doubt anything including you perhaps MTV have a bet that they can completely trash their own schemes through the internet and that people will still watch their shows and of course they will no one cares.Phillip R Goodmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055143869145630128noreply@blogger.com
