A lot of mainstream music isn't really that good.
Music is a science. It works a certain way, based on "laws of theory" that people have set up to aid musicians in making great sounds.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a music scientist in order to make great music. Unfortunately, you don't have to know very much about music
in order to get famous in the business today. Britney Spears can't really sing, but she's one of the wealthiest and well known singers in
the world. If you're incredibly attractive under a crap load of makeup, and maybe some plastic surgery, or if you have the right connections,
or if some guy in a suit believes he can sell your image to the world, you can become a famous musician, even if you put out crap.
All that being said, I won't list Britney, or any really modern music. I'm going to list Deph Leppard's "Photograph" as my hated song.
I'd post this retarded video, but I don't think I can post videos or images yet, so...
Another problem with the music industry is the incessant need for agents and recording labels to sign copycat artists to contracts.
The most popular types of music/bands that get the largest following at the moment, will undoubtedly spawn the most copycat artists.
I can't help but see this as a kind of fraudulence. this phenomenon isn't concerned with what is best for the music industry as the majority
of artists are not introduced to the public based on their talent, but are instead introduced based on someone elses talent. The above mentioned
Britney Spears spawned a crap load of copycats. Although it was more her image that was copied and not her talent. Nirvana spawned a crap load
of copycats. The same thing with Led Zeppelin, and the Beatles, and countless other really talented musical acts.
So there are countless songs that I hate, but I'll just go with Deph Leppard's "Photograph" for now. It actually isn't that bad, from what I recall. And
after all that crap I said above, I'm uncertain as to whether or not any of it applies to Deph Leppard. I just never liked that song <.<
