The State of Music

Sep 01, 2006 19:08

I'm tired of whiny music.

Not that I was ever a big fan of Nick Lachey, but was he always this whiny, or just since the divorce?  And what happened to Live?  I remember when their music was sweet--with a hard segue in to ANGER ("I Alone" is a perfect example). Now it's pussy whipped.  And Nickleback.  Jesus God, Nickleback, the first song off your new album was about fucking a girl in a speeding car (which, btw, hot), and every song since has been about emotions. I still can't hear that "Photograph" song without imagining the lead singer in a pink fluffy robe, lighting aromatherapy candles and painting his toenails while flipping through the photo album.

Someone recommend to me some music that isn't whiny, please.  I am, as ever, partial to punk, though I like punk with some actual musical merit as opposed to mindless screaming...and lots of ethnic music lately.  No, I haven't any idea why I'm dl'ing music in Arabic and Hindi, I just am.  And I like it.

Anyone have any thoughts to contribute?  Is music doomed?  Have sensitive men destroyed the future of music?!

weirdness, name that tune
