"Some of the music is not bad (some!) but what I can't get my head round us the number of collaborations between artists these days. Everything's XX featuring YY, or XX and YY. Who's bloody record is it?? I guess I'm getting just as grumpy as Grumpy " | |||

I keep seeing it too , it's usually something like ... Brainbasher and Fuckweasel ft. BSJYDJFH 567 and Twatface . Or something like that | |||

"I think it's a combination of the age we are and the age we live in. Yes we have started to sound like our dads but also we now live in a disposal culture. None of these 'artists' as they now like to be called, will be remembered in 5 years time. And it doesn't matter to them or the public. They all live in the here and now and discard after use. So they don't care that you don't recognise any of them. Think about it, the musicians and singers 20 or so years ago we can still remember and get played because even the 1 hit wonders became classics. Today's lot will make a quick buck from a crowd pleaser and move on to something else. " There's some very good 'artists' in the current top 20 - and there's several there that have been around for more than 5 years and will be around for many years to come, either still producing new music or by being listened to by those that become stuck in the 20teens for the next 40 years moaning that music isn't like it used to be! | |||

"Seriously, I just perused the Top 20 and I've never fucking heard of most of them ... Fredo , Riton & Oliver Heldens, Blackbear , J Hus , Arizona Zervas , Lizzo .... Who the fuck are these people . Or am I just a grumpy old cunt ?? I've just checked the charts from this day in 1997, when I was 20 (and coincidentally the OP too) From the Top 20, I liked 5 of the tracks (Got lucky I reckon as PF Project and Prodigy are both on there) there were a few others I could listen too as well and the rest were just shit. But NOT ONE fucking autotune between them I believe! The difference is that my Dad was as out of touch with music of that time as you can imagine as he stopped paying attention to music after the death of the Folk boom in the late 60s? (I once played some Sex Pistols and he was in the room right through Anarchy in the UK, after which he looked a little bemused by the song that came out and was massive when he was only 30/31 and said "Do you know, that sounded a bit like Punk?") Yet while he may not have been able to pick ANY of their songs out, even HE had heard of The Spice Girls, Prodigy and Elton John? Wasn't it Andy Warhol who said "In the future everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes"?Smart man... B" Bravo on your research sir , I am humbled you went to so much trouble to contribute to this . Its more than i can be arsed to do . You are of course , as usual , spot on | |||

"Definitely just reached grumpy stage of life. Won’t be long until you’re pestering youngsters with stories about how everything was so much better in the old days " I should call myself Victor | |||

" No fair point, I'm not saying all 20 are shit. Of course there are some current artists with longevity - Adele, Coldplay, Stormzy even. But the type that OP described who just pop out of nowhere and disappear into nothing existed by exception but now populate the charts. Even Milli Vanilli lasted longer than some of today's lot. Actually, with all the auto-tunes going on, they'll probably thrive now. Lol | |||

Or am I just a grumpy old cunt ??" I stopped listening to radio 1 months ago because of the shite it plays I must of listened to a lyrical masterpiece of "you want it you got it" they must of been proud of that lyric as it was repeated hundreds of times in that track! etc blah Fucking song was in loop! Like Dante's seventh circle of hell! | |||

Far better than anyone else I've heard on either public or commercial radio | |||

"As a general rule or two..if the artists name has ‘feat’ in it I won’t like it, likewise if ‘DJ’ is mentioned " Lol. That's going too far. Sometimes it's just a marketing thing to attract younger audiences. Like Stormzy, his music is not my kind of thing but he is an extremely intelligent individual with a number of A* grades under his belt. But he has chosen to give himself a ridiculous name with a ridiculous spelling. | |||
