  1. These 20 riffs aren't bad at all, but none of them would be on my top 20 list. Why were there no Whitesnake riffs, like You gonna break my heart again or Still of the night? Or Iron Maiden, like Wasted Years, Rhyme of the ancient mariner? Or any Dream Theater song? Jounrney? I can go on and on and on.

  2. I had never heard the term yacht music here in the Netherlands, thankfully. I wonder if the term was coined by people who don't know music kr are envious of these great musicians of the 70s and 80s and later.

  4. How often young folk want to belong to a group, whether it is by wearing certain type of clothes or listening to certain music. Many youngester are afraid to discover new things, because of what others might think. I had the same, had friends who was commenting on my clothes, they weren't the right brand and style....same with music, classical was a no-go, jazz and everything which wasn't mainstream. It affects the choices many of us make. Eventually I did not care anymore and thought it is their loss not wanting to explore other music (and lots of other things), but it took a while. Now years later when I see youngsters choosing their own way and nit caring what the masses think or expect, I think "good for you, you have my blessing". When I see and hear this girl I think the same, she is brave to pursue and make music she likes, not copy what is most popular and which easily accepted by her peers. We need more young people like her!

  5. How many of them wrote their own music and lyrics? Most are just a pretty face who sells the product or who is the product. Nkne of these songs did anything for me, it didn't stir my heart of mind......it all feels plastic, artificial.......it lacks soul.

  8. I stopped counting my age at 21, several decades ago. So, I stay at the prime of my life.

  9. These songs don't do anything for me. It sounds all the same, nothing I haven't heard before. And autotune in metal? No thank you! I don't consider this metal, at least not the metal I love. It is often a lot of noise, but no heart and no nice complex compositions.

  10. I am listening to Ayreon at the moment, so I might be spoiled. If you haven't know them, check them (or him, Arjan Lucassen) out.

  12. How on earth can you call this music? It is absolutely terrible, absolutely terrible. Where did it go weong in the world of music? Around 1990 I noticed the music was becoming worse than before and from there on it became just horrific what they bring out. Music has become background noise for the youth, not somehing which toughes their heart and minds. it has become the same as junk food. If you never been taught to eat good and healthy food as a child and only fed fastfood, then it is hard to appreciate real food. Same with music. If you only hear music without any soul in it, only those boring tunes, it isn't likely you will appreciate better music.

  14. Rick Wakeman is right about the music industry. I loved to go to the record shop, browser vinyl, smelling the covers, watching the covers, listening at the counter, reading the lyrics, talking to the shop owner, friends or brothers who cake apong or just another customer who you didn't know, but said "try this or that record". It was a real treat, something you looked forward to. Now everything, including movies and series, are one or two clicks away. Just like anything, there is overkill, music isn't special anymore, films and series same thing. Now you can have earphones in all day, but when I was young we had to wait to get home from school to listen music, we were over saturated. Brian May sung Too much love will kill you, well too much of music will kill your appetite for it also. I like the silence, so enjoy the moment more when I turn on the music. But now there background noise everywhere.
