  1. There was a study conducted by Italian musicologists that showed that most modern music IS created by a formula. That music studios are essentially labs...or factories. It's manufactured and not really composed.

  2. Melopause: a condition by which a person, who loves music, finds this love or passion for music(in all genres) ebbing on occasion during certain points in their lives(ages 5-100+) However, the condition is not constant and can be expected to be ameliorated by listening to these musical genres once again.

  3. Absolutely. The Age of Muzak.

  4. Really? Raging Bull isn't like real boxing? The Spy Who Came In From The Cold isn't like real espionage? The New Centurians or Serpico isn't like real police work? You're so wrong. Whiplash is garbage. A movie fit for morons and tigermoms.

  6. Can't wait for the new Beatles song....50 years after Paul and Ringo pass. 🤮

  7. Music, like other forms of art, are essentially drugs. They help people through their days. Some drugs, like fine wine, are for the connoisseur, like Bach or Coltrane or DeBussy or Mingus etc. These drugs enlighten, embolden, expand the mind. The drugs that Rick is partaking in are the aural equivalent of crack or meth or smack. Drugs designed to numb or paralyze the thoughts. Decrease cognizance. Mind dumbers. Brain deflaters. Sadly, these drugs continue to rule the digital ocean.

  8. I hated Whiplash, with a passion. The script was junk. 2 hours with 2 psychopaths. Garbage. A movie made for people who love movies about ambition but not movies about music or musicians. As a musician, this movie is junk.

  9. Anybody notice that what passes for music in the last 10 years sounds as though it was specifically produced to be post sold as: A tampon commercial A car commercial A perfume commercial A beer commercial As though the main goal of the factory was to produce the music equivalent of a laxative advertisement. Junk. It's junk. It's not even music.

  10. Back in the day, whilst writing Eleanor Rigby, not only did Ringo contribute to the song but so did Mal Evans. Beatles boyhood friend Pete Shotton also contributed, along with George and John (although, according to Shotton, Lennon's contribution was minimal). None of the other contributors were credited. Current research shows that although Paul was responsible for 95% of the song's lyrical content, others, like Mal and Ringo and the rest, contributed to the finished song. This may be a case of neighbouring rights, something American musicians don't have regarding the Coldplay ditty. As I'm sure Rick knows, practically every other country on Earth shares royalties with not only the songwriters, but the musicians on any session as well. These are known as neighbouring rights. The people listed probably requested credit for any contribution and received it, even for a chord change or hook. Hence the 15 credited "writers".

  11. The aural equivalent of crack. Lotta junkies out there.

  12. Glen Campbell? Tommy Tedesco? Nokie Edwards? Brian Setzer? Eddie Phillips? 🙄 Hank Marvin? Tiny Timbrell? Tony Joe White? Hank Garland? Chris Spedding? Larry Carlton? Grady Martin? Tommy Allsup? To be sure there are some phenomenal players on this list, but the level of mediocrity is staggering. Putting Link Wray all the way down at 78? Joni Mitchell at 9? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 No Lonnie Mack? 🤡 Lenny Breau? Johnny Smith? Glenn Tilbrook?

  13. I would argue, quite persuasively, that "grunge" was never a genre or a movement. It was completely commercial. The term "alternative rock" is bullshit and was created solely by producers in the big companies. Even the fashion the "grunge" artists adopted was warmed over punk mixed with 60's folk revivalism. As you stated: Torn t-shirts : punk Combat boots: punk Work shirts or plaid: folk Dyed hair: punk Shaved heads: punk Day-Glo colours: punk/60's Mod Dark lyrics have been used since the 50's as have down tuned guitars. My opinion is that the death of genre occurred DUE to "grunge", not that I didn't find the artists enthusiasm inviting. After an ALTERNATIVE, where else could you turn? Programming. Programmed voices. Programmed songs. Programmed artists. Programmed instrumentation. And it is garbage. That's this era: Garbage. Not garage. Garbage.

  14. That's Mr. Williams playing piano for the Peter Gunn theme (like he did originally) on the Mancini Tribute Album. Very happy to hear this. Many many many great film scores. The Cowboys is a fave of mine as is The Reivers. Lesser known, but just as important.

  15. The "system" has done it. It's made Muzak the penultimate.

  16. More proof that modern "music" listeners are essentially morons. They wouldn't know music if it bit them in the ass.

  17. I was never a fan of Frankensongs. Wasn't crazy about either Free as a Bird or Real Love. Felt like grave robbing. Hence Frankensong. But I got to tell you, Paul's instincts were spot on. It's a moving song. Brought tears to my eyes, I gotta admit. Rick's analysis is, however, correct.

  18. We loved him so much in Canada we put him on MONEY. Unmatched.

  19. We are in the Regurgitation Era.

  20. The majority of these are 💩. 💩. I'm not a fan of either Lady Gags or Bruno Mars but their song had excellent production values and soul. Actual soul. Teddy Swims has a fine voice.

  21. Italian musicologists conducted a study and showed that modern music is manufactured and not really composed. It's all baby formula and the majority of listeners are essentially infants. Goo goo gah gah. Now, one can argue that most modern music(say from 1920 - present) has been created by a formula. One seeks out what the public wants and makes it. Except typically that kind of music/artist was usually referred to as a one hit wonder. Artists are expected to grow, to seek new avenues, to experiment and explore. Think Beatles. All truly great artists have done this. In what way have any of the top 10 artists grown in the last decade? Not one iota. They are essentially no different from soft drinks, tobacco, deodorant. They are extremely wealthy and imo have nothing to offer anybody.

  22. Taylor Swift is a 35 year old woman writing/producing/singing songs for 14year olds (age and/or mentality). The Beatles were 20 somethings writing songs for EVERYONE. See the difference. How f_____ing sad is that?

  23. Top 10? The top 50 of Spotify are garbage. Garbage.

  24. Crack for crackheads. I mentioned on one of Rick's earlier vids about the top 10 being garbage that music is an aural opiate. A drug. Some drugs are enlightening. Coltrane, Davis, Cooke, Presley, Sinatra, Bach, Mozart, Beatles, Stones, Waters, Wolf, The Band, etc. Some are stepped on and shitty. Like this top 10. Poison. Aural poison. Made in a bottle in some grungy trailerpark. Or a field.

  25. Very polite of Rick not to mention Elvis (or rather the Col) being one of those artist/manager teams who demanded songwriters sell their songs or half the rights to Elvis (or rather the Col). Some songwriters famous for saying no were Jerry Reed and Mac Davis.
