[QUOTE="alanB, post: 49917, member: 431"] The point I was trying to make with my "bloody Rap" comment was not only that I dont like that format of music (which is true), but my dissatisfaction with what to me seems to be the continual "dumbing down" of music by the industry, which is point of this thread as I understand it. For example, in the 70's you had a lot of experimentation by various artists such Pink Floyd, Led Zepplin, Deep Purple (showing my age I know). Now some may or may not like their music, fair enough, but to me they were genuine artists who broke new boundaries etc. Same happened in the 80's perhaps to a lessor extent. You could argue that Rap is doing the same thing, but I dont agree, with perhaps one or two exceptions like Eminem. My perception of that form of "music" is exactly as I wrote earlier, its just a great way for record companies to make money without having to worry about finding genuine artists with talent and all of the hassles that go along with that. You can take anybody and just churn them through the marketing sausage machine and sell lots of CD's. I'm using Rap as an example, because I dont like it and see it as particularly good example of the "problem", but the same distasteful process is going on with other music forms as well. Eg Brittany Spears who has to mime her music in concerts these days etc. [/QUOTE]
