I tend to look at 91 as being the year music became less good. don't get me wrong, there are still great records being made, but when you listen to bands they rave about, you think-yeah they're ok, but they're not like acts of yesteryear. The Best years for music had to be 1963-91.
It all adds up.In 91,Freddie Mercury Died, Michael Jackson released his last great LP, Dangerous, and oasis and nirvana had yet to introduce the stomach churning cripe that is alternative rock(grunge,indie,emo etc),and urban (modern rnb,hip hop,rap) and cheesy girl and boy bands had one year until their invasion.

I am not much of a modern music fan either, but I wouldnt say that 91' saw the death of music. I remember liking the music in the 90s
But I think its quite a general thing that one likes less the things around them but with time and when they look back at those things they will change thier point of view.

There's still more than enough great music. You just have to look for it. Last week I had to turn in my list of my 10 favorite albums that were released this year, it was really hard... Not because I couldn't think of 10 good albums, but because I had at least 15 albums that I wanted to put on that list...

Personally, I think the mid-nineties offered new hope. Grunge was an example of renewed energy and independent thought. But the record companies, downloading, and MTV killed any chance we had at a real musical revolution. Grunge may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it was back to basics. Very pure and unaffected. Unlike the garbage being churned out nowadays.


I still blame Madonna for the death of music. I really, really do. (and artists like her) COMMERCIALISM at it's most evil.

[Mairi]

I think disco was really when music started to become more commercialised. Madonna took it and ran with it, though.

No way the 90's was the revival after the 80s which were awful except from a few bands here and there, the 90s revived guitar music without all the electroic drums ...... plus Radiohead,Blur,Smashing Pumpkins, Elliot Smith..... i could go on.

Disco had died though like so many fads. There has always been a commercialism there, but she and people like her took it a step further. Took the soul out of and looked at their "music" as more of a product. Like a can of generic soda or something. All about the marketing and package. Nothing much to do with actual substance.

I agree: I more or less quit listening to mainstream radio in the early eighties after Madonna and Michael Jackson made it big, and didn't pay much attention again until bands like Blur and Radiohead came out and Paul Weller launched his solo career.

[alexis]

There's music after 1969???

Yeah, remember that record put out by that guy that one time? It didn't catch on though.

Michael Jackson! as you probably know, I'm a fan.hes a great singer and dancer! and he can write too!
I was talking about the uk charts.I gather the 80s was a bad time for us music in america , and i too hate Madonna , but some bands now are overrated(i'm looking at you, BONO!)

[Jane]

I don`t mind the 90s but I don`t like the 80s except for Queen and U2. I absolutely hate disco.
As for madonna, she asked for a divorce because Guy R. doesn`t sleep with her any more, as he finds her extremely unattractive. The information concerning Guy`s attitude to his wife has been leaked by Kianu Reeves (the spelling may be wrong), though madonna warned Guy not to give out the fact. And it wasn`t he who did it...

I'm sorry, I didn't realise this was the Hello Magazine forum.

I'm going to take this as an ironic statement out of deference to your name.

You can soil on my name in the bin if you like-but there has gotta be a reason why he and Paul collaborated with him. whats Wrong with his music. and he has written a lot of great songs-he wrote dirty diana and co-composed other
and to say that he isnt at least a good singer and DANCER is rather silly

[alexis]

I think Michael was great in his day. I'm thinking from late 60's to early 80's. Some of the best Bubblegum on the planet with the Jackson 5 ("ABC ... 123"; "I'll be There") , all the way through that incredibly happening album that had "Billy Jean" on it. I wasn't too much into the torn glove bit, but you are 100% right - his dancing was where it was at in clubs everywhere for a few years.

Somwehere around the time his hair caught on fire was when I stopped thinking of him as contributing to pop music in a positive way, but IMO until then - he was on fire

Hello!

erm, whats hello supposed to mean?
