In summary, Dan hates anything with a dominant quarter note bass drum. It makes him feel like a galley slave. He also doesn't enjoy ska music, which is similar to reggae but without the inclusion of "goodnature." He thinks the Barney song or Baby Shark are good, but does not enjoy modern praise songs. Punk did the same in 1975, rock music played and sung very badly and image came first. Love the soap love the single right? No! If the music is awful then it is still crap right?

Sam fox was a glamour model in the 1980s. Pretty grim looking back at it. (I will let you Google)
Anyway an attempt to create a British Madonna she got some tracks, a production team, video.... This was the result.
She was quite a smart business woman early doors looking back at her career. That is not was art is supposed to be though.

This kind of sparked the beginning of the end of serious pop music for me

For me, the end came from the confluence of
1: MTV stopped playing music
2: birth of "classic rock" radio
3: reaching my mid 20's

oh, and:
4: the "not classic rock" radio stations playing rap/hip-hop

Robot-level Autotune is sort of like refined sugar. I liked it for about a week. That was enough.

My musician friend tells me that everyone uses it. Usually it's subtle enough that only experts can tell. That doesn't bother me. Who knows. maybe it's good.

It is not good. It is taking an inaccurate voice and touching it up. Great voices can be inaccurate but if they really have something then true personality and colour are added. That certain Je n'sais quoi.

What the hell was "Jack?" Dance? This song is saying forget great 70s music and buy this formulaic dance music instead. Make me some money and I will build a production line of it. It worked for a time sadly.

I would have to disagree, of course it was the talk box Roger used, but he made magic with it.

But yes, autotune is garbage. It's the repetitive nature of it, and lack of creativity.

I really loathe this one.

Huh. I love it. Did a lap around the block to hear it when it came on the radio.

pinball1970 said:
I should hate this but I don't.

Haha, I've loved that song ever since it was released. Well written and extremely catchy.
And an extra bonus is that it brings back good memories from the 80s for me.

I took me a while to understand what you meant by SAW.
I guess you mean Stock Aitken Waterman?

I didn't mind Russ Abbott, he was funny in the 80s. After this was released he was not funny any more.

See how long it takes people to guess who this is. It's the 80s so it looks and sounds rubbish but the song is not that bad. He sounds a bit like Bowie?

Yes SAW were to music what "The Sun" is to intelligent, investigative journalism.

"The Star" is actually worse. The Sun is for stupid adults, the Star is for stupid teenagers.
Last week I checked the Sun on line because I wanted to make a joke. The story was about Betelgeuse and a Guardian article. The Sun not only had a (half decent) write up, it had a link to a paper in Nature! I almost fell off my stool!

C'mon now. Surely this is a modern parody of 80s music and music videos, right?

Unfortunately, it is not. And I remember that I had to buy a pair of jeans in a shop where they played their music. Horror!

True and ironic. Is there a word for that? If there is I bet it's German.

It's called Death Metal. I was going to mention that, but nah. Too easy a target.
I like hardcore metal. I don't really care what they're "singing" (read: screaming). I like the energy, that "pissed-off-ness" and the lack of scene-show.
