People forget they also had inspiration and stole bits here and there to. 

 

 But as everyone knows, they are legends, immortal ones, but you missing my point, Justin Bieber will be remembered as much as the Beatles by his own generation 

 

Bieber is not that bad, he has some classics actually,

 

Not a great songwriter obviously.

Try and make an effort, have a look at the vid I posted. I agree some of his songs where nice but if you do a side by side comparison of his Mr. BoJangels and Sammy Davids Jr. his ain't all that good.

That's how I felt when I heard this masterpiece by Billy Eilish.

 

Billie was actually born a boy, for the record. Hence the tomboy name. Not that it matters musically.

 

She/he looks creepy to me. It's painful to watch as a video. 

 

And even though the lyrics might be about "loving someone until their grave", I don't get the impression this human being has the capacity to love anyone until their grave. I don't think the lyrics are from the heart. Partly because I don't think Billie Boy writes their own lyrics and the beatles did wrote most of their own lyrics.

 

The voice is 95 per cent autotuned? Who knows how much fakery with tech has been injected into the voice.

The voice is not as rich and unique as the voices of the Beatles. 

 

And what else? All the musical instruments are computers. No one is actually playing a real instrument.

 

In some ways, this song shows the degradation of modern music.

Words are the base for poetry and in my opinion poetry and music are a perfect mach. But then music like religion and politics are topic mankind can never agree upon. And maybe that is for the good, diversity and such.

The words are  irrelevant, how does it make you feel and Mozart says it  all without a  single utterance 

 

I enjoy the music and I can relax to it.

 

I also the big band music of the 1930s and 1940s as well as traditional jazz. I am not so keen on modern jazz from the 1960s though.

No words on this track by Acker Bilk to get in the way of the music.

 

My one real regret in my life is that while I enjoy good relaxing music, unfortunately I have all the musical skill of a warthog on heat , with none of the airs or graces that the animal is known for.

 

In my music classes at school I lasted 3 weeks starting with a violin and ending up playing the triangle, and I couldn't even get that right.

Not at all, I share the nostalgic  memory or Rick myself.

 

Going to the club, wearing a custard cream jacket, shiny gold brown checked trousers, fox brown shoes. What a time it was. Then the rabble with their wife beater t-shirts came along and their god awful techno crap and ruined everything. 

I also love  a  lot of the pet shop boys  stuff theyve done some great stuff  varied too from forever in love "techno crap"  to  Jealously
