No tune, no enunciation, no talent, no fan

I'm with theGrump...
My fave band of the mid-late '90s, Counting Crows, required a steady diet of listening while doing cross-country M'cycle trips and reading the liner notes' words to get to where I can sing along. Ya wanna hear enunciation, regardless of whether you like them or not: old Simon & Garfunkle. Even Dylan's recent Classic, "Mississippi" is easliy discernable, lyric-wise. Beethoven didn't do many lyrics, other than the world class Ninth Symphony and some minor league stuff. I sound like an ol'grouch, here, lol! BR,md MostCurrent"music"[email protected]

While I agree with The Grump's assessment of today's music I can't join him in his call to bring back Michael Bolton and Barry Manilow. I can hear their lyrics clearly but that in itself doesn't make their songs interesting to me.

maybe this is an exception, "i've got a soul, but i'm not a soldier, ive got a soul but i'm not a soldier......"( lyrics from All things that i've done by The Killers) this kept ringing in my head for days after i heard the song on the radio....

The Grump is just caught in that time warp we all get caught in. Back in the day, songs had to conceal their true meanings with euphemisms, now you can have 50 Cent saying that he wants to put his magic stick in some groupie's nana and it's ok. Those old Nat King Cole songs and Cole Porter songs were just as much about gettin laid and gettin drunk or high as the songs of today, they just had to be more creative about how they worded it. I would agree that the bar for true talent is set lower these days and the bar for image is set much higher. Let's Get It On, which Marvin Gaye recorded in 1972, became one of the best-known songs about doin the nasty, but Marvin originally penned lyrics about ending the war in 'Nam for that song. I have all 5 demo takes of the song, all lyrics about peace, love and brotherhood, but the exact same music. He improvised new lyrics for it while recording it when he saw a hottie walk into the producer's room on the other side of the glass, so he could get into those drawers. Obviously, the producer and Marvin agreed the last take was the one which went on the album. I seriously doubt any of the popular atrists of today could pull that!

The grump said "Bring back the music of the Bee Gees" WHAT. Barry Gib( is that his name) always sounded like he slipped and busted his balls on a bicycle crossbar. Maybe that why I could never understand a word he says.
