a dark day in music history...

[4gan2ja0]

so i read in a newspaper today that simon cowell, one of the judges on american idol said he would choose kelly clarkson ten times over before he would chose bob dylan. BOB DYLAN! now i understand he's not to everyones tastes, but c'mon, were comparing a poetic genius to a hot, floozy. even those who dont like dylan must agree that he is in fact better than clarkson. i mean, when did music become about the looks and sex appeal, i thought music was to create beautiful music for the peoples to enjoy, not just to whack off to. just my two
cents

Simon may prefer the sound of her voice to a more rustic one than Dylans, she IS a pretty good singer, but her songs are typical plastic pop broken-heart "music"

Bob IS music, it's evident in his complex lyrics- he doesn't care about how his voice sounds, to him the music is what it's all about. And unfortunately, we've lost it in this age... I hardly know any modern bands because I refuse to listen to overprocessed garbage. There are a few bands I do like and not the "Oh so underground that they're cooler than you" but for the most part, it's all about the 60s, 70s, and early 80s for me. It's hard to imagine another Golden Age of music coming up... There aren't any guitar solos to speak of.

My dad gave me his taste in music; he'd always put on Allman Bros, Eagles, Beach Boys, Bob, Floyd, Bob Marley, and some of the other greats while making his spaghetti dinner.

That train sequence at the end of "Caroline, No" still gives me the chills (he used to turn the stereo up FULL BLAST at that part)...

he wants attention dont give it to him

[b0Ng h!tz 4 mE]

american idol isnt music..

[TokinAsianGuy]

Is that all? dude, you should know better then to a give rats ass about what Simon says.

here i thought Limp Bizkit released another album or Kirk Hammett died....

His criticism does well for POP music, and POP music only. He gives good pointers on the show and dishes out judgement fairly, but other than industry pop music, I doubt he knows shit about music.
