Well  is  it?   Thinking  back  to  the  1980`s,the  music then was very
relaxing  or  had  a  nice beat to it,also emerged was the `rock` groups
which combined loud but cool sounds now known as soft rock.

I guess its all a matter of opinion,the music today is drab-face it,most
of  it is looped beyond belief with perfect examples being that of Doop,
Clock  and  other  bands,I  personally  cant  stand SOME of the groups,2
Unlimited  loop  songs but are o.k to listen too,another perfect example
is  the  former  number  1 `Boom Boom Boom` by the Outhere Bros - what a
crap  song, looped LOADS of times and (for me) to listen to is annoying,
how did this become a number one?

Now  many  people out there reading this may think that my views are `un
cool`  but  i  do like some music from the 80`s-when it was original and
not copied and had a beat put on,great songs were from A-Ha,the Pet Shop
Boys,  Johnny  Hates  Jazz,and  i guess even Bros - yes i know what your
thinking but at least it was better than Boom Boom Boom!

I  guess  that  there  must  be  some people out there who agree with me
because  old songs are coming back-just look at the success of Unchained
Melody,it  was  number  one for weeks,even though it was a rip off,going
back a few years to Take Thats first single Could It Be Magic,this was a
terrible   mix  taken  from  Barry  Manilows  classic  (and  beautifull)
song,listen  to  them both and see what one you feel more emotional over
for the song is about love not dancing around,yes i know this is seen as
sissy  to write but i feel todays music has taken the impact and emotion
out of songs.

Even  the  50`s  60`s and 70`s had awesome songs, Chubby Checker,the Bee
Gees,ABBA  were all major contributors to the world of music.Crazy as it
sounds  but  some people like to listen to bag pipe music,why?  Probably
because  its  different  and they too were fed up with the same old mush
being  sold  every  day.A  couple  of years ago music manafacturers were
worried  that  computer game music would take over the music scene,and i
suppose with rave and dance music you could agree with them.

The music i now like is much different from the type you`d like,computer
demo  music  is  actually  very  good  and  i  have  taped more than one
piece,another  fantastic  piece  of  music  to listen to is that made by
Japan - it (as far as i know) is impossible to get here in britain but i
listened to the James Bond soundtrack of you only live twice and enjoyed
it immensley and beats the pants off anything around today.
