As one DJ here said, 1998 was truly a year of cloning, not only in debates about Dolly, but also in the world of music.

WHY THE FRIG ARE ALMOST ALL SONGS REMAKES OR SAMPLE REUSES?????!!!!!!! AAH!

I, too, hate the constant use of sampling. The only sampled song I've EVER heard that was any good was off the "Godzilla" soundtrack.

I HATE hearing a song start up, thinking it's one of my favorites, only to find that it's one of these corrupted mutants.

And it's ALWAYS rap garbage, too. I just last week heard a horrible corruption of "That's Just the Way it is."

"And I never did a crime I didn't have to".. yeah, RIGHT.

I suppose it depends what genre of music you like. I listen to stuff ranging from typical UK Chart to R&B, A little bit of Jazz, some old-style 80s stuff when I'm feeling drunk, and some nice 90s House.

*bangs head on wall to emphasise*

Ow.

V. Ice ripped off "Under Pressure" and was sued by Queen.

Ok, this might not have anything to do with this thread, but I'm going to throw it out there anyway. It's a personal annoyance of mine.

I really hate when I hear people complain about how repetitive and insipid songs on the radio are, and then not do anything about it. Good music, like good lovers, is hard to find. You have to expend a little energy. Just sitting there, waiting for the radio to cater to your whims won't help.

Now, there isn't anything wrong with listening to the radio, or even liking Top 40 music, though it pains me to say that. But don't expect to find any creativity there.

I suppose R.E.M. was right. "It's that same, same song, on the radio."

Disclaimer
You should keep in mind that I live in a rather rural area, and the radio selection is extremely limited compared to where many, if not most of you, live. As such I'm probably hypersensitive to the issue.

Well, I don't worry much about this stuff because I listen to classical and musicals, mostly. Most radio stations don't have my music, so I don't listen to them much except the classical stations.

I get classiccal on PBS, the rest here are "Classic Rock" and country. I listen to rock stations most, but it's the same music I've been hearing for the last 25 years.

I barely listen to the radio at all anymore, except when I forget to bring a tape along in my car (no CD playerin Maxine, unfortunately).

You don't hear much Tori on the radio anyway -- at least, not on the nearby stations.

What do I listen to? Well, you can color me Eclectic. My CD/cassette collection right now includes:

Tori Amos (Lots of this, bootlegs, too. I'm a Tori junkie)
Sting & The Police
Cranberries
Meat Loaf
Enya
Metallica
The Eagles
Manowar
Loreena McKennitt
Dr. Demento collections
Clannad
The Chieftans
SciFi's Greatest Hits Vols.1-4
Queen
Pearl Jam
Live
TV's Greatest Hits Vols.1-6
Audiobooks to Star Trek: New Frontier & Star Trek: Borg
The Eurythmics
Genesis
Peter Gabriel
TMBG
Edgar Winter

and I could go on...

I confess that I've always been up to whatever was currently regarded as mainstream music and I didn't care about it very much, music did not influence my life. But most of it was quite good and authentic in the 80s and early 90s. Nowadays, as soon as I switch on the radio I can't help pushing the tuning buttons all the time. It's even worse when I'm driving, I wish I had three arms like the navigator in TAS. All the cloning, newly mixed up, rap sh*t, schmalz, silly teeny music, I can't bear it anymore. Better hear nothing than such a trash. Hitlists are the ultimate horror, I just can't believe young people feel attracted by such idols without voice, without musical talent, without ideas and with dumb lyrics. It's rather that what makes up the bad quality than the often complained lack of "message" in the songs, I don't need it anyway. Music must give me a good feeling. There has been good music in the 90s, but why do I mainly remember Duran Duran, Eurythmics, U2, Genesis, Queen, ...

Perennial Favorites is a wonderful album.

My childhood was typical: summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard, really.
