I'm just wondering, is there anywhere in the world where proper music is in the charts? Or is it all the Lady Gaga/Rihanna crap?

I class proper music to:

1. Not promote killing people (Most Rap)
2. Not promote binge drinking
3. Not promote drugs
4. Not have multi millionaire singers that can do whatever they want, sing about thier "Terrible" lives.
5. Not to be terrible singers Simon Cowell has spawned from his pit of doom
6. SOUND GOOD.

EDIT: 7. Not to hurt my hears when I listen (Dance <_<)

I know in england, for example turning on a radio will melt my brain. I don't think people actually realise what they're listening to.
The main forms of music that make me think wtf? are death metal where it sounds like a diesel engine singing, and the genre that I don't even know that everything in the UK charts is.

Also, I actually don't mind rap, I don't like it, but it wouldn't bother me to hear it, it's just most have terrible messages.


I just would like to know, so that I could happily turn on a radio, and not loose that happiness. And it would be awesome for there to be a current singer/band to listen to. Everything awesome tends to be in the 70s-80s and don't release songs anymore. Would be good to hear something fresh AND good.

Christian rock?

Your so far off the mark with British Radio its unreal. Theres barely any radio shows totally devoted to death metal, if there is I havent heard it. There's things that play the chart show, new releases etc. Most stations play whats popular at the time -- at the moment the Indie style is most popular, even though the vast majority of it svcks. Then other shows play different sub genres of dance music, dub step / drum an bass/ techno/ trance etc.

But other than what you dislike about music, you havent mentioned what styles you actually like. So I cant recomend anything.

Basically anything with a good sound. I listen to mostly everything from the 70's and 80's, apart from pop.

Everything from raggae to rock. ^_^

Nightwish, Abeny Park, Hammerfall, Rhapsody of Fire... The list goes on.

lol

And since when does most rap promote killing?

Too easy.

Lol, I guess so... But look at the music of today, it's different... everyone back then was just plain happy, wheras modern music just promotes buying every bit of heroin you can find, being poor and going to rehab. There actually is a song about rehab by amy whinehouse..

UB40

There is, but apart from that one song I really can't think of any others.

PS Try some modern folk or punk-folk or whatever the kids are calling it. Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling and the like.

I've never heard a song about buying every bit of heroin you can find. Could you give me an example?

Ooh, sorry, can't help you there then. :lmao:

I think your problem is this:



Screw the charts! You'll never find good music that way anyways. ^_^

proper music is anything that builds you up and does not brake you down, so whatever kind of music does that for you, look more into that genre. sadly, some of the music that builds you up also breaks you down where it does not build you up while building you up somewhere. hm, yeah, i do see things so black and white... not to say that i always act or choose based on this black and white view.

Whatt? :huh:

your tastes are way too like specific. The only music you would like is purely instrumental. Would reccomend The Beatles, but well the fact they got off their faces all the time and the song with a little help from my friends has the lyric "i get a high with a little help from my friends"

I have an awkward pallet too. But skins and gavin and stacey have gotten me into modern music more.

I know But I think no one is getting my question. I want to know if I can go somewhere and hear proper music frequently in shops, from the radio and in public places.

No. But the internet is a pretty big place. Use Last.FM, and you'll soon have a fair number of great new bands coming at you. Go to gigs as well, the best way to experience the music.

No such place. It's chasing after Shangri-La when you'd be better off getting an iPod. :shrug:

iPhone with Spotify?

iPod.

EDIT: Ninjas these days...

Fixed. And simple answer there, thanks I suppose I'll be annoyed wherever I go! ^_^

builds you up=makes you better, makes you feel better, with no harmful effects on you. brakes you down=either one or the other or both but WITH the negative effects. i am sorry, is my English bad and or i did not make myself clear enough there? i have to admit, my ability to express or communicate things is not of the better kind all the time .

To be fair mate there's no such thing as proper music or improper music, just stuff you like and stuff you don't. You can justify that however you like I suppose.

If you want to hear music you like, get last.fm or a digital radio. Or just go out and listen to live stuff, if you live in a city with a decent music scene (decent as in large and varied, because there's no such objective thing as decent music, either).
