What's missing from music today? Yes there are some obvious things to be pointed out but i mean with the industry in general!

everday you can pick up a magazine and read articles on truly talented, interesting artists, bands etc. I actually get SPIN in the mail and thanks to that mag, ive been able to try artists i might not have known about otherwise. and yet on the radio THESE days, you end up only hearing the same no talent hacks.

an artist like Chrisette Michelle or Amerie is passed up for someone like Beyonce' for massive radio play and there's no real variety anymore.

every decade has its highlights...particularly the 80s and 90s...but from the 00's onward, its all been down hill. autotune, copycats, and the marketing of the lightly talented "new" instead of the truly talented and established "old" has left alot of people cold on buying music.

what could the industry in general do to get the excitment of the people back? what are some "trends" in the music business that are better left by the wayside?
 
I think more music should be creative and unique, instead of being all about sex like most music now that I hear on the radio.
 
i definately agree, vil. these days its more about the image and marketing than the actual talent! and when you have one artist who HAS true talent, then other labels immediately copy him/her with someone who usually ends up being a poor imitation with one hit wonder status lol.

DL, listening to the radio for music is almost pointless these days, unless your one of those people who has satellite radio and im just not willing to pay more money out than i already do right now lol.

today's standard of "love songs" doesnt come close to matching stuff from the 60s, 70s, 80s and even some of the 90s. some of these "rap" or "hip hop" artists who make music talking about sex an girls could take a lesson from music from artists like the Isley Brothers (first idea that popped in my head lol) ...you can have a song that talks about sex or the idea of sex or romance without being nasty about it or objectifying women calling them bitches and ho's :rolleyes:
