Metal bands at least dare to be different not manufactured music that offers nothing new or innovative. And that rubbish argument: it all sounds the same is absolute rubbish

I think the original point of the topic was why are the old tunes better than those of today though, rather than whether metal is or isn't rilly, rilly great..

True Garion, that comment just annoyed me. Back on topic I do dissagree with the point made by the poster. Theres is loads of brilliant music coming out even in just the last few years

And not just in the metal world my gf listens to a dude called Frank Turner who is hugely talented and theres interesting things being done in dub step too, if you step away from the stuff thats getting heavy rotation there is so much going on today in music

I'd totally agree  but regrettably, here in the music forum, we're a minority compared to the masses who devour the latest offering from the tv 'talent' shows, meaning that real class, or just stonking tunes rarely make it into the mainstream consciousness, leaving many talented artists with little income stream to produce greatness.

Recently I bought the 'Teenage Kicks' compilation (and let me state right now that I'm by NO means an 80's pop fan) and from The Beat's Mirror in the Bathroom, through Echo Beach, Anarchy and on to The Regent's wonderful 7Teen it's all stuff that'd WALK all over anything in the charts today.

good points made by wildhart and garion. Mainstream music has become a style over substance, disposable commodity with a very short shelf life. Download, listen, get bored, delete, repeat. Very little 'pop' has any staying power. The less commercial genres tend to have more loyal fans who take the time to really get into an artist. There are many of today's artists from many diff genres who in 20 years time, will figure in 'greatest ever' discussions. And yeah, Frank Turner rocks

music now sounds compressed and computery comparing to music from 80s and before.

Advanced technology has also done away with 'stereo' to a certain extent - now you can spread loads of different filler sound as well as the basic vocal and instruments across 256 channels, you lose the spatial sense of: that guy's over there, and she's over THERE etc.
