I couldn't agree more.

Mainstream music of today is in the shitter. Just listen to an oldies radio station, and hear the greats of yesterday. Now those are some killer songs! People in the sixties and seventies got the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Hendrix, The Greatful Dead, etc., and I get Ashlee Simpson, Britany Spears, Hanson, and Hilary Duff? I was robbed.

Talent was thrown straight out the window and replaced by sex appeal.

Mainstream music is garbage, and all I have to say about it is my ears are bloody from all the abuse.

Look at Hip-hop for instance.

The ones with the lyrical talent are not the ones on the radio. Instead its a bunch of fake gangster's who tell me the have a lot "bling" and fuck a lot of women. The music industry is not about music anymore, now its all about the money.

Rehashed bullshit being shoved in my face.

The only way this is going to stop is simply to stop buying. But the masses didn't even stop watching MTV when the Music dissapeared over night, so I can't even expect them to stop buying this bullshit that is called talent.

And for all of those not "digging", do it. Its well worth your time.

By the way Button Basher, I like your tunes! Added you on myspace (yes I've decided to put some of my shit on there).
