My ears are old. Doesn't mean that they don't still work.
I know great musicianship, great songwriting, and great singing. What I hear these days is mostly crap with a few good bands. None of them "great" or anywhere approaching the talent level of the bands I mentioned.
Hell, just look at black music too.
Black musicians were always some of the best in the world. Theolonius Monk, Miles Davis...singers like Marvin Gay, etc.
Now young black people no longer are looking to hone those skills and become true musicians and singers.
Instead they strive to come up with beats, nursery rhyme sounding melodies, and then rap over the top of it.
It just seems to me that our entire culture both black and white has been dumbed down to the lowest common denominator.
