Remedy

In the current age of awful music (Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber), even worse lyrics and absolutely ridiculous excuse for songs - I find it important to stay rooted in my music, specifically the stuff I grew up listening. Some of you may cringe or groan when I say Phil Collins or UB40, but those are some of the greatest artists out there who actually made sense in their songs, and had substance to not only the lyrics but the music as well, where the highs and lows of the songs would make your heart race. That is what I call good music - bands like the Beatles and the Who, and now Coldplay who produce(d) brilliant music should be the only people allowed to sing, compose or make music in general.

I mean, songs like Hotel California, Let it Be, Three Little Birds, That's life and a bunch of music from amazing, talented people bought to life what music really was. And I try to think, where did it all go so wrong? When did music like rap, hip-hop and r & b become the "norm" and when did teenagers become the face of "pop"? It's all too depressing to think about. I mean, everytime I hear ridiculous songs from Bieber or Hannah Montanna, I laugh at the sheer stupidity of the concept of their so called music and songs.

For those who still have good taste in music - here's a fantastic song.
