Are you kidding? Those 3 genres are the most popular at the moment!! Where have you been living in last 10 years? When i turn up the radio (which happens rarely, so i guess you're right about this one ), all i hear is rap, hip hop, rnb, pop and occasionaly some pop-rock...
You must listen to mainstream because none of that is alive on the radio but if you turn it off those genres except for pop are alive and thriving.
folks are scared of success and the comedians in here dissing "thriller" is off the hook. thriller is the gold standard for the versatile album.MJ did it all stop the Hate.
U2 are corny and so is coldplay. that Aha soft sounding music does nothing for me.
Beyonce got 14 to many grammys.
Alicia Keys got 7 to many grammys as well.
New Jack Swing was way more fun and better than sleepy time Neo Soul.
folks forgot how to make a soundtrack long ago. mixing older tracks and calling it a soundtrack ain't a soundtrack it is a mixtape.
i love Bob Marley but why is he the only person most people associate with Reggae?
Prince is a Great Artist,however he has been better Live than in the studio for over 20 Years IMO
I agree with everything except for the Thriller and Neo Soul comment.
Thriller is a good album but its not Michaels best work as media claims it to be and quite quiet as its kept Michael has put out BETTER work more BETTER than Thriller.
New Jack Swing was fun and a cool genre but its no where better than Neo Soul... Most New Jack Swing music doesnt have good lyrics, most of the lyrics consists of fun, hype and live and Neo Soul exactly speaks to the listener and the artists opens up, I find it a much better genre but whether one is better than the other is a matter of opinion beacuse there BOTH good genres.
People hype Prince up but he really hasnt came out with any material that has been all of that and like you said does better live.
Beyonce.... I just really have no words to say anymore about her and the fact that she is so overrated and overhyped. Its pretty sad and Its really ridiculous now especially when there are MUCH better artists that exactly are innovative and have creative input in there music. Aint no way in the world she should have more grammys than Michael Jackson, Prince and Marvin Gaye just aint no way but the Grammys are a joke now so it really doesnt matter.
Alicia Keys is alright but I find her voice to be mad overrated. The girl really cant sing to me. She can sing better than Janet I guess like people have said but I wouldnt put Alicia on a greatest voice list, shes really average just like Janet but her musicanship and songwriting makes up for it.
Who ever said Elton John was a better songwriter than Stevie Wonder needs help... Stevie Wonder is the greatest songwriter, musician, singer ever and theyll will never be another like him. Dude has wrote some of the greastest music ever and has never seen a person, place or thing in his life. He is just amazing really out of this world..
