Rick Beato listened to these songs, so you don't have to. The Spotify Top 10 Got Even Worse
This is what he had to say about number 10 on the list.
There's just nothing interesting here.
The melody is not interesting, the lyrics are not interesting, and the chord progression isn't interesting. I don't think the production's that good.
Other than that, it sounds great.
Number 9 didn't do much better...
Honestly, that song had everything but what it needed.
There are a few songs that he can say good things about, and maybe even one song that is good, though it isn't a genre I like. (American country music.) Most of it is schlock.
The video is 15 minutes long. You can either laugh at popular music, or weep for the state of music in America.
I thank God for making me a Boomer, in which I grew up listening to the peak of pop music era, the 60's and 70's. Starting with the 80's it has been all down hill.
ReplyDeleteAs a Boomer, I can say that this is the most Boomer statement ever. Some of the best Rock has been produced in Europe in the last 20 years. Americans won't listen to it even though 99.5% is in English. "The best music in history is the music that was popular when I was in high school."
DeleteWhile there was some good music, back in the day, most of the Top 40 hits were schlock.
