In general, some of the worst music I feel is that begins
relatively well, but way overstays itself by being so
repetitious and needlessly lengthy (particularly in vocals) are:
Grank Funk Railroad - - - - "I'm Your Captain"
The Beatles - - - - "Hey Jude" (a vocal phrase is repeated
consecutively about 23 times)
The Police - - - - at least one of their songs is very repetitive
vocally at its end, but I don't know the song's title
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Waitresses - - - - "I Know What Boys Like"
Yeah, that wasn't very enjoyable at all.Derrezed said:Number one song in America right now...
I forgot about her. Does it get any worse?chiro said:Anything by Yoko Ono.

Yeah, that would be really annoying.lisab said:If Yoko Ono accompanied Gregorian chants, I think it would be worse.

AlephZero said:Everything by Andrew Lloyd Webber. (I mean his entire output, I don't know or care if he ever wrote a song called "Everything").
turbo said:Lady Gaga can't sing and she can't play the piano for crap. She can wear outrageous clothing and odd facial appliances, but she is not a musician. Yeah, Elton John wore some pretty ridiculous stuff (including over-the-top glasses) but he can play piano and sing with the best of 'em.

It's all pretty bland, IMO. No character. Gaga is horrible. Contrast her "talent" with David Crosby, Steven Stills, Jim Messina, Hendrix, and a million other performers from the 60's and 70's. No contest. Steve Winwood was recording when he was 14 or so. None of those musicians had to wear outrageous costumes or face-makeup/accouterments to get attention. Just turn on the radio and appreciate.MarcoD said:Yah, well, the problem with all this mass produced music is that it's mostly all pretty good, but it all lacks authenticity. Probably a side effect of professionalization and digitalization of the industry - too much plastic.
I totally agree with what I take to be the essence or your statement. The problem with pop music is much the same as it's always been. That is, it's more about the image of the performer and not so much about the music.MarcoD said:Yah, well, the problem with all this mass produced music is that it's mostly all pretty good, but it all lacks authenticity.

Agree totally. But it does take a little effort to find radio stations that play good stuff. And I'm not necessarily talking about old stuff -- although competing with the originality of the stuff of the 60's and 70's is a tall order.turbo said:It's all pretty bland, IMO. No character.
