Music; where did it all go wrong?

[Hades]

I've been listening to some of Oasis and Blur tonight and it just brings it home how poor modern music is in comparison to it. Where did it all go wrong? I'll admit that I loved the 90's and I don't listen to a lot of very recent music but it no longer interests me. XFactor seems to dictate who gets heard and there doesn't appear to be any real feeling and heart behind songs like in years past.

What a truly epic era. Or am I just looking at it through rose tinted glasses?

Its lost its soul, people making music purely for the sake of it.

Yes that's the word I was looking for... soul

Haha that's funny.

Some interesting replies. A few people in this thread have said that you tend to hang on to the music in your teens and I suppose that is kind of right. But in my case that would make 80's music something I would hang on to. But I love a lot of 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. Even some early 2000's. So I do like a wide range of music. But I just find that the last few years it has been total dross (in most cases - there are always a few good bands out there). I agree though, it's down to money and the risk of not following the current trend.
