70's to early 2000 music.

     With only one blog up, I'm going to tribute this blog to the music that was once before making sense.
I myself don't hate the music being made today, but I don't listen to them regularly. I, am quite sensitive to the lyrics being used in certain songs, and remember the old days, where Air Supply was still a hit, together with the Survivors, Bryan Adams, and Michael Jackson (R.I.P) You could call me a balladeer, I hardly listen to any rock songs. I listen to pop occasionally, but I pick the ones that lyrics can either be understood, or not talk about sex and money.


    Love songs were a hit in the 70's, and listening to them wasn't hard. Aside from the lyrics that were soulful and beautiful, the tune and melody where addictive. I can name a few songs now that have the same or similar tunes but different lyrics. I'd give credit to Bruno Mars, (Which I don't really like) for producing love songs again. Such as "Grenade" and "Just The Way You Are." 
  
      Most artists nowadays use such offensive or aggressive lyrics, while some just say words that don't make sense. Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" and "Bad Romance" May make sense if you listen to them, but the video is just plain creepy. Bruno Mar's "Grenade" May had good lyrics, but the video doesn't support that, at the end of the music video, the scene is cut just before a train hits him. Signifying suicide.

    Now, I have made a decision to myself, and a realization that the new music today can simply not compete on what the 70's, 80's and 90's had to offer. In my honest opinion, the incredibly high pitched Russell Hitchcock (Lead singer of the Air Supply, along with Russell Graham) and the soulful voice of Bryan Adam remains champion when pitted up against the likes of Katy Perry and the hit Justin Beiber.
