What Ever Happened to Music?

Hi Mr Trivia,

Back in the old days, long before Nickleback and Limp Bizkit, when I was about 15, Joe Satriani released Surfing With The Alien and it was the best album I had ever heard, have ever heard, will ever hear.

Why isn't music as good as it used to be?

Hi Carla,

Well, it's nostalgia, isn't it? Surfin' with the Alien doesn't mean beans to the kids of today - and nor should it. No matter how much you try to persuade others, that what you like is better than the tripe they listen to - you will never acheive your aim. Matters of taste are simply beyond rational argument.

Except for Maroon 5 of course, who are shit.

Regards,

Mr Trivia


Mr Trivia would like to remind 'Maroon 5' fans that what they are doing , is simply not cool.

Dear Mr Trivia,

I need some clarification, what about that song with Kanye West, where the lead singer of Maroon Five is a guest, is that cool or not.

Kind Regards,

Jane

Fantastic question, Jane. You have challenged my inner-music facist brilliantly. However, I believe the Kanye factor trumps the Adam Levine factor 3 to 1 and therefore "Heard 'Em Say" is a cool song.

It would take three Adam Levines to make a collaboration with Kanye West uncool. And thanks to international laws against cloning, this is simply not possible.

Cheers!
