I hate the fact that everything is autotuned into oblivion. No talent required. Even the ones who actually possess the skills such as the donut licker (sorry ....I can't get past it. Character matters.) auto tune their music into a computerized shell of what could have been great. Its about as artistic as the voice that tells you to please place the item in the baggage area of the self check out lane at Stop-n-Shop. I want Whitney Huston alone in front of a microphone, sweat dripping down her face, perfectly belting out every note and nuance with no computerized safety net to save her like the fucking one-woman choir-of-angels she was. And where the fuck is rock??? We need another Beatles/Nirvana phenomenon to come along and once again pull it out of the grave. I don't mean a replica of Nirvana or the Beatles... I mean a band with a new sound that with one album or one song definitively ends the current era of rock and begins another one with no hope of ever turning back.  Because just like the doo-wop rock of the late 50s and the hairbands at the end of the 80s, all that's left are a few lonely acts, banging around, desperately trying to sell a plastic-wrapped, watered-down, pussified version of a dying genre. I'm not surprised that rap has taken over. It aint my thang, but at least those artists are still making an *attempt* to push the envelope.
