What happened to music after 1992 ? - Page 8

Manufactured teen idols is nothing new and I remember a few manufactured no talent superstars from the "'50s however they were the exception.
However, now, it seemes that manufacturing a star is the norm....... follow the established formula and make money seems to be the mantra.

I also like to listen to an album from start to finish (when I have the time) but those are few and far between anymore.

One recently acquired albulm/CD that I like and is great in its entirety is the "Robert Hazard - Troubadour" CD.
Every song is great and it well recorded.
However, it does not meet the new, cookie cutter, pigeon hole formulas and never achieved national attention.

BTW, consider the "Beatles"..... their musical talent was meidocre at best but, they could write real songs that are still popular today.

American Idol lets you vote for your choice. What more do you want?

I always end up hearing at least a few of the new hits, finding some good ones that I missed the first time around, or running across something else that seems interesting. Age really isn't a limitation. If I haven't heard it yet it's as new as anything else.

As a relative young'un (read 90s kid) all I've ever known is music post 1995ish, although my dad has a few super 70s CDs, not to mention a large collection of queen, cliff richards and dire straites.

As for the state of modern music, mainstream stuff - to my ears - is ridiculously dull. When I was in school I travelled for an hour every morning and evening on the school bus and was subjected to the best that mainstream music had to offer, which just didnt do it for me. Fast forward to now and I'm into metal, drum & bass and dubstep (classical is also fantastic, but given thats mostly pre 90s i'm ignoring it here).

To address the issues raised by the opening poster, I've found within the genres I like that at the mainstream end there definitely is a sense that some people produce distinctly average music at a tremendous rate simply to make money, however at the other end of the spectrum (producers/bands that have very little fan base outside of the city they are in) it's all about making/recording something that sounds incredible and gets people moving. - I guess that's why I love it.

1992 was 20 years ago. Everything have changed in music.
