Ha, my son, with part of his landscaping $$ wanted a stereo for the 2002 Accord. Told him that I would pay for the 6X9 (kickers) if he paid for the stereo. Installed all of that today and dropped an AC/DC cd in. Full blast. He opens the door, "That's kinda of loud."...pussy. Sure sounds better than my Tacoma.

Technology has killed so many art forms. Or at least changed them. Back in the day you had to be able to sing and play actual instruments. Now you can sample some of this, some of that, massage the digital bits with a computer, and out comes "music" that is impossible to actually play live. It's cheap to produce and the masses who can't tell the difference, or have never known anything else, eat it up with a spoon.
Well, I'm certainly happy that I'm old enough to not appreciate DJ Khaled, autotune and fucking Despacito. God! Take that song away from me.
It has never been a better time to be a music fan than right now. The tools we have at our disposal to find obscure bands of any genre from any country is absolutely astounding, and the cost to listen to this all legally is peanuts compared to its value (the downside being that it devalues good music being how cheap it is, but at least more people are hearing it)
I was just discussing this with my daughter today. The availability of so many different and obscure genres of music is astounding. No more going to Kmart and rummaging through the top 40 45rpm singles.
It's good to mix things up a bit ... gets boring listening to the same kind of stuff all the timeblack metal folk polka...well I never.
I've posted it before, and I know they're getting radio play around here so they're getting better known, but these dudes from Iceland have the southern rock sound down:
Kaleo - No Good

I never would have guessed from that song that they're from Iceland.

OP go here, everyone else NSFW language:
holy fuck! that was awesome.
Im not really a music fan to begin with and then the nonsensical lyrics and high doses of profanity continue to take away from what could be a good song. But my favorite truly is the weird and sudden "la la la la "garbage that just shows that they ran out of things to sing.I'm not a fan of some of the new stuff they play on the alternative rock station around here. Most of the newer songs coming out seem too disjointed. It'll start out sounding pretty good for the first 30 seconds, then they'll break into a chorus that has a completely different sound from the beginning for the next minute, then they'll break into some weird "la la la la la" with a whole orchestra of vocalists, then back to the rhythm from the start of the song for about five seconds, repeat. Must have something to do with everyone's crappy attention spans these days.
