I'm open to all music from any decade to modern. I don't want to be one of those people who is constantly saying "The past was better". I know others may hate or have many problems with modern music, but I myself have found plenty to love ❤️
same here, even though i dont listen to music often..when i do its all over the place ,chill out,trance,pop,classical trance,even elevator music and videogame music as well as movie themes...as well as tracks from the past eras..
I completely agree. I prefer music from the early 2010s but there are definitely many gems being released every day that I feel people miss out on by judging it all as the same
Hello Verdy, new to your channel and also a music lover. I have a motto I read " No Music No Life" Fun fact for you. In this video there are 6 to 7 plus songs written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic. You should have a contest to see who finds all of them first. Of course I am exempt. People will be surprised by most of them. There is one part where three are in a row
It’s also telling that music reaction channels tend to focus on music from 1965 to 1995, not to be a cranky old man, but when groups kinda stopped playing instruments…
It's very telling that since the millenium started R&B, hip-hop, etc had to resort to the 80s pop hooks and EDM to make it or crossover to mainstream. The 90s sound was a case study in and of itself where grunge and progressive rock hit a cul of sac. A salutary warning to music tourists that a hit formula must include 80's/techno-euro pop to get on any chart. The big headliners Rihanna, BEP, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Madonna relied on EDM producers like Avicii, David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Stuart Price to hit the billion+ clicks and 6-figure downloads..
Looking forward to seeing you review the second best song of every month from every decade. Would also love to see you review a Black Sabbath album or two.
I must have stopped listening to popular music about the same time you did because from mid 2016 on I probably only knew about 6 songs. Gotye and Kimbra only had the one massive international number 1 hit but both artists have many albums to their names.
Ouch, this is gonna be very hard to watch with a lot of bad music, but I like your reactions so I'm gonna suffer through it and listen to smth good afterwards 😄
The crazy thing is, that stuff sounds almost normal compared to the stuff the guy upstairs from me plays, which sounds like AI generated random notes that are then auto-tuned with the knob set to 11.
Not to be all boomer - OK, I am a boomer - but my impression really is that 50% (if not more) of this material has the same sound palette. If you haven't already, Google "loudness wars" - it's not that the songs aren't different, as such, but more that every element within the songs' production is the same pace, the same volume, shares the same tone. The music industry has, in my opinion, destroyed real creativity, so thank God for true artists like Pharrell Williams who, for one, isn't just a great musician but also someone deeply involved in how his music comes out.
#1 is a death sentence for a pop artist. They are all told it will do it for them, but really it just makes the industry demand more of exactly that sound, and all the other industry producers shit out 100s of terrible imitations of the #1. Also when it becomes about "Style" and not about music, well, there you are.
The radio has been overplaying and killing songs for me since the 80’s, that’s why I stopped listening to the radio in my car and switched to tapes, then CD’s and now a thumb drive with about 700 albums on it, on shuffle.
The reason modern music is not relatable is because it is formulaic, and a lot of it is computer generated to produce quick sales. The days of the singer/songwriter/independent artist are virtually over, unless you find them on RUclips or music sites that take amateur uploads. Music used to be about feelings and common activities people could relate to. Nowadays it's about "booty and bling", or inaccessible riches and lifestyles the listener can't relate to. The videos are even worse. That's why "older music" is so enjoyable. The ARTISTS created the music and the record companies stayed out of the way. Today, record companies pump out new artist and new songs from templates and formulas thinking they can generate fast profits.
VERDY great job with take on Most popular songs each month from 2010 . I Do have a music question for you Best Era for Rock Music late 60's or The Hole 80's ? mind is the 80's to 91.
Increasingly from 2016 it sounds to me that the use of autocorrect makes many artists/artistes sound just like each other. We don't actually know what their voices are like, or if they can sing without that prop.
I know this was stuff was popular when it came out but will it stand the test of time? I don’t think so. There is a reason why young people are consistently downloading older music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s.
As I said above, there is nothing like an EWF in that bunch. Listening to them since the late 70s. It was good to see her freaking out over Fall in Love With Me in an earlier reaction.
I ended up recognizing about 30, although there were a few there which I might have recognized if the excerpt had been a bit longer. That's easily the worst I've done on any of these full-decade reviews - and this video covered 13 years! _"Somebody that I Used to Know"_ (Gotye) was way overplayed at the time, and not just because *his* version was played a lot. There were many popular covers of that, most memorably the one by Walk Off the Earth. I think that having so much attention to the one song made it tough for him to have any more hits. Not only do I recognize fewer of these songs, I also have almost no trivia that I could talk about. I guess I stopped listening to the radio sometime in the decade of the 2000's!
I'm like you, I definitely don't care for what the radio is playing. I much rather listen to the playlists that I put together on my phone. Then I can match my music to my mood!
Yes, you should definitely react to Kate Bush! Maybe post a poll of which artist to react to next .. I agree after 2016 the songs were a bit boring. From 2010 - 2015 the songs were all about let's hold really long notes to make it emotional..
For me, there was a brief Golden Age of Modern Pop Music which runs from early 2009 to around mid 2015. After which point pop takes a massive nosedive into mediocrity from which, I'm afraid to say, it has never recovered.
Agreed, but other genres and sub genres of music has benefited from it. Some include Rap, EDM, Country, Country-Pop, EDM-Rock, Pop-Punk, Punk-Rock, Pop-Rock, Rap-Metal, Rap-Rock, etc.
Agree with VERDY and the other comments. It's interesting how this is the first decade where the majority of the production, songwriting and singing styles are almost interchangeable from song to song. I guess it's the advent of computer generated, soulless corporate music taking grip. Not saying there isn't some nice music here, but it's throwaway and mostly forgettable. It seems like the lack of decent songwriting is being papered over with lush production. It's a shame that the artists who are still challenging music in this era are being pushed underground by the corporate machine. (I feel like such a boomer with this comment)
I miss how upbeat the music was back in 2009 -> 2014, after that period it got really moody and I was never a big fan of it apart from some golden songs sprinkled in.
Interesting first song on guitar! I know that Swift song from the show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia lol. The first song I learned on guitar was "Rather Be Dead," a track by a punk band from Sweden called Refused. You should check them out and that song if you're unfamiliar. They're rightfully considered one of the most influential bands of their era, if not all time. I know you like live vids, so here's one of Refused that I really enjoy: ruclips.net/video/TYYL8j6XD_0/видео.html
Well I heard about 40% of them over the years. What hits me is, they are mostly over produced(the artists have maybe 10-30% input in the finished songs), it sounds like 5 producers did all the song and only a hand full of musicians worked on most of them.
I think I knew more of the top songs from the 1950s! I stopped listening to pop radio 30+ years ago. It's not only the style of the music; even "classic rock" radio is too repetitive for me (partly because I've heard it all many times before).
Doesnt surprize me that "Stranger Things" introducing a new audience to "Running up that Hill" made it jump to No:1 after 40 odd years; its a great song! However look at what it was up against. Most music since 2017 has been average - awful
Also, what happened to bands, Rolling Stones, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, America, Queen, Duran Duran, etc etc. Of the more Modern Era there have been a few but they never seem to last the distance.
There is some good songs in here, regardless of what people say about modern (past 10-15 years) music. I am out of the loop though because once the year hit 2018 or so many of the songs and artists I just never heard of.
I didn't recognize 90% of those songs. Anytime I have the car radio on I will listen to a 70s, 80s, and 90s station or a rock station which usually plays music from that time frame as well. If I cannot find a station playing music from that time frame I plug in my own music. I've heard of many of the singers or bands, I just don't listen to them. I think I can name one Taylor Swift song, no Maroon 5 songs, no Justin Bieber songs, no Dua Lipa songs although I think I actually do recognize one from them.
Hey.. In 2045 some reactor is going to do something like this.. you know who will be a famous classic topic? "THE WARNING" yep...that's a band really good band... "The Warning" ☮️
I honestly never heard of over 30 of them well except through memes and what not but that’s not the song from start to finish so I don’t know how the song goes but those are only about 5 or 6 of those which I didn’t know 34 total or as I say heard all the way through. But I’m sure i have heard way more songs that are not “popular” that I know that most people here probably wouldn’t know or heard😂
I really liked BoB and Bruno Mars on Nothing On You and Uptown Funk was a great song . Also Katy Perry and Rihanna had some really good stuff too . And also Elle Golden Love me Like You Do i thought was a really good song . I always liked that one .
tHAT dj CAT SONG FELT GOOD BUT THATS BECAUSE ITs oldskool disco/funk.15:01. I really quit the charts around 2004. A few artists like john mayor and bruno mars, also oldskool after 2010, were up to the standards of the 70s to 90s. BTW there is a 90s song called Love Fool by the Cardigans that is almost exactly like the DJ Cat song. But I like the Dj Cat song a lot better. There is no song that really gets you in the like EWF always did.
Unfortunately, the quality of new music - at least in my opinion - is constantly declining. Yes, there are exceptions like Adele, but there are fewer and fewer artists who can come up with great new songs. Maybe all the great songs are already written?
I watched a video of a current country artist who turned down an offer from a Nashville producer. In his video he mentioned how you basically sign over complete control to the company, they decide everything including what songs you sing. He turned them down because they didn't want him singing his own songs. So he took the long road and built up his brand himself, posting on youtube and playing live events. I stumbled across his music during the lockdowns when you were not allowed to do anything.
Wow! Popular music since the turn of the century, for the most part, sucked! As a child of the sixties and seventies we had great music that still resonates today as "classic". There is a batch from the eighties and nineties that is good. I think I recognized 3 songs, that I listened to, in 10 years worth. Fun, Pink w/Nate Ruess ang Avicii.
This is the decade in which the Autotune effect basically killed pop music, you can really hear it creep into almost every song by the end of the video. All singing is fake now. Some of the worst offenders here being Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Drake, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, and all the KPop stuff.
Most of these songs so similar to one another that it's difficult to tell them apart. Proof that we live in a copycat society. I enjoy pre auto tune music much more. To each their own I guess.
Agreed. I also find it crazy that the dominant genres(hip hop, funk, soul) have not changed at all in like 20 years now. I don't think this has ever happened before. All sounds the same. To me this list is actually a worst-of, not a best-of, mind-boggling to think that all these were nr. 1 hits. And on the other hand I have a TON of incredible music I love that just nobody even knows of. Wild, but I love to be outside the norm, always have been as a metal/goth/EBM/grunge/punk/alternative fan 😄
Against my better judgment, I sat through that entire video... and it only confirms what I already knew: the "popular" music today is, by and large, a pile of hot garbage. I could literally count the number of "good" songs on the fingers of one hand, and even those few decent songs don't stand up to what was "popular" even as recently as the 2000's. And it's not just me being a geriatric fossil; I can and do find music I like from any time period, in practically any genre. The biggest problem - aside from computers and automation sucking all the life and soul from modern music - is that there is no deviation from a boilerplate formula that gives you a certain prescribed sound; the artists are so one-note monotonous in their uniformity as to be practically interchangeable. Even twenty years ago, there was still something in popular music for everyone and we all had a seat at the table. Not anymore. The level of sheer diversity amongst styles and genres evident in the popular songs of the 70's, 80's, and 90's utterly outstrips that of the homogenous wall of noise we see today - while we simultaneously make so much of our undying pursuit of "diversity" in everything else. The good news is that good new music is still being recorded by good bands and artists, all the time. The bad news is that it's nowhere to be found in mainstream media and if you want it, you're gonna have to dig for it. Society at large has chosen to embrace mediocrity.
Not even one rock band !!! If you want to listen to something not artificially made, the band The Warning is for you Just try EVOLVE (OMV), DISCIPLE (Live @ Teatro Metropolitan CDMX) or their last single MORE. Enjoy (I love Kate Bush)
From 2015 on, I basically only know a song if Todd in the Shadows talked about it. 😂 Agreed on Billie Eilish. I give her credit for being unique and quite talented, but I have yet to find one of her songs that I actually want to listen to twice.
It's not the power of Stranger Things, it's the power of good music. The fact that a merely "good" song from the 80s was musically superior to pretty much every so-called #1 song in the last decade, which by this point had more or less descended into a (non-)musical hellscape of repetitive beats, unimaginative songwriting-by-committee, and autotuned "singers" incapable of hitting a note without computerized assistance. Yeah I may be old, but I'm so thankful I was around for the 70s and 80s, and even the 90s. Now get off my lawn!
The music from 2010 onwards is far less appealing than the songs you listened to in your previous segments.... I'm hoping for a musical renaissance, but I won't hold my breath...
Wow, after watching many of your videos, I can't believe you don't like Olivia Rodrigo, but you do like some of the other overproduced, over-Autotuned, simplistic and derivative horrible (IMO) songs written by collectives of "songwriters" (almost never the artist) which have been released since 2010. To me, Olivia Rodrigo was like a breath of fresh when I first heard her...creative and catchy songs (written by HER), great vocalist who puts little to no Autotune on her vocals (because she doesn't need it) and production/arrangements that use...gasp...real instruments.
I can hardly believe Get Lucky is 10 years old! You started high school the year my granddaughter was born! A lot of these don't seem to have made it over to the UK, not that I can remember hearing them anyway. Just not the same as Prog Rock 🤣 Not the greatest music during Lockdown across the world.
If I had listened to this blind, I would've thought the entire thing was 1 song. Growing up, I often told myself that I wouldn't tell my children their music sucked like my parents did. But you know what Gen Z....your music SUCKS!!
it sucks and its garbage esp losers like drake and them other hip hop artists..at least arianna grande and Camilla cabello are pretty and there songs arent as trash as the when guys sing ,ed sheran sucks...and so does all his songs and clean bandit are trash....
Please check out Billie Eilish doing "When the Party's over" live on the Howard Stern show. If that doesn't win you over I don't know what will ;) Honestly, you're missing out on something. She has a lot of great songs in a bunch of different styles. Checkout her albums, especially "Happier than ever".

13:44 you're not alone. Your face after July 2015 is priceless 🤣🤣🤣(something must be wrong with me...every grimace made me smile even more :))
I'm open to all music from any decade to modern. I don't want to be one of those people who is constantly saying "The past was better". I know others may hate or have many problems with modern music, but I myself have found plenty to love ❤️
same here, even though i dont listen to music often..when i do its all over the place ,chill out,trance,pop,classical trance,even elevator music and videogame music as well as movie themes...as well as tracks from the past eras..
love this mindset!!!
Same. I listen to everything.
I hope the day never comes when I'm yelling at kids to get off my grass.
I completely agree. I prefer music from the early 2010s but there are definitely many gems being released every day that I feel people miss out on by judging it all as the same
Hello Verdy, new to your channel and also a music lover. I have a motto I read " No Music No Life" Fun fact for you. In this video there are 6 to 7 plus songs written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic. You should have a contest to see who finds all of them first. Of course I am exempt. People will be surprised by most of them. There is one part where three are in a row
I love the fact that the most popular song from July 2022 was from 1985. You're right, the power of Stranger Things.
It’s also telling that music reaction channels tend to focus on music from 1965 to 1995, not to be a cranky old man, but when groups kinda stopped playing instruments…
It's very telling that since the millenium started R&B, hip-hop, etc had to resort to the 80s pop hooks and EDM to make it or crossover to mainstream.

If I was doing the reacting it would be "Don't like it...don't like it...don't like it..." LOL
Looking forward to seeing you review the second best song of every month from every decade. Would also love to see you review a Black Sabbath album or two.
I must have stopped listening to popular music about the same time you did because from mid 2016 on I probably only knew about 6 songs. Gotye and Kimbra only had the one massive international number 1 hit but both artists have many albums to their names.
The takeaway from this 2010s showcase is... YES you should listen to more Kate Bush! :D
I'm glad to see you're a Sia fan. Her catalog is huge and she's insanely great live too!!!
How come Chandelier wasn't on there?
@@spikeysnack It never hit #1. Peaked at #8 in the US, #6 in the UK (not sure which charts this list was using).
Diamonths -rhiana is a great SIA song
Ouch, this is gonna be very hard to watch with a lot of bad music, but I like your reactions so I'm gonna suffer through it and listen to smth good afterwards 😄
Wow Verdy you're doing a reaction to all those songs since 2010. What without stopping once not even to have a sandwich?🤭
Most are the same formula, the talent is who creates on the computer and video...
I obviously switched over to talk radio completely about 10 years ago. I knew very few of the songs after that.
I also cannot help thinking that at least 70% of *THIS* music would be very easy to replicate via AI.
The crazy thing is, that stuff sounds almost normal compared to the stuff the guy upstairs from me plays, which sounds like AI generated random notes that are then auto-tuned with the knob set to 11.
A lot of the 80's synth music would be as well, hell, give it a decade and AI will be able to replicate any kind of music era.
Not to be all boomer - OK, I am a boomer - but my impression really is that 50% (if not more) of this material has the same sound palette. If you haven't already, Google "loudness wars" - it's not that the songs aren't different, as such, but more that every element within the songs' production is the same pace, the same volume, shares the same tone. The music industry has, in my opinion, destroyed real creativity, so thank God for true artists like Pharrell Williams who, for one, isn't just a great musician but also someone deeply involved in how his music comes out.
Pink is so underrated one of the best singers of all time
#1 is a death sentence for a pop artist. They are all told it will do it for them, but really it just makes the industry demand more of exactly that sound, and all the other industry producers shit out 100s of terrible imitations of the #1.
Also when it becomes about "Style" and not about music, well, there you are.
Blinding Lights (March 2020)... i said to myself : i know that... how is this possible ?
It's in the first scene of Ms. Marvel... ok, that's why !
There are a handful of songs that sound their own the rest are the same old rhythm and the same tried topic.
You could say the same for every decade
The radio has been overplaying and killing songs for me since the 80’s, that’s why I stopped listening to the radio in my car and switched to tapes, then CD’s and now a thumb drive with about 700 albums on it, on shuffle.

Here on RUclips: Goyte's version has 2.1 BILLION views. And Walk Off the Earth's version has 193 million views!
That "some. bod-eeee" thing, UGH.
So many sound the same.! Maybe I’m just getting too old for modern music. Are there no rock bands anymore?
Not at the top of the pop charts. You have to search for them.
A lot of the previous decades MOST POPULAR acts sounded alike too
I'm like you, I definitely don't care for what the radio is playing. I much rather listen to the playlists that I put together on my phone. Then I can match my music to my mood!
Yes, you should definitely react to Kate Bush! Maybe post a poll of which artist to react to next .. I agree after 2016 the songs were a bit boring. From 2010 - 2015 the songs were all about let's hold really long notes to make it emotional..

Some include Rap, EDM, Country, Country-Pop, EDM-Rock, Pop-Punk, Punk-Rock, Pop-Rock, Rap-Metal, Rap-Rock, etc.
Totally agree with you , I'm 31 by the way ..
Love also the 90s and 2000s
Adele the best singer out of all of them.the late 50's thu early 60's was maybe best for music but 80's had the most hits maybe
Agree with VERDY and the other comments. It's interesting how this is the first decade where the majority of the production, songwriting and singing styles are almost interchangeable from song to song.

Cookie cutter songs, all sounding exactly alike. Kids will naively keep buying it because "it has a beat" ( the exact same beat every time ).
Maybe do a reaction to one of the 'Evolution Of Music' videos like 40,000 BC - 2022?
I miss how upbeat the music was back in 2009 -> 2014, after that period it got really moody and I was never a big fan of it apart from some golden songs sprinkled in.

ruclips.net/video/TYYL8j6XD_0/видео.html
I feel like I did not take part in this music 😂
To take a deeper look into the world of Kate Bush, try the album "Never Forever“. It's an easy entry. Babooshka, Army Dreamers and Violin ! 👍
I would add "Breathing" as another highlight from that album!
The Kick Inside would be an easier entry tbh for someone who knows no Bush....
Well I heard about 40% of them over the years. What hits me is, they are mostly over produced(the artists have maybe 10-30% input in the finished songs), it sounds like 5 producers did all the song and only a hand full of musicians worked on most of them.

Yeah me too. I liked exactly two songs of this whole video: the Rihanna/Eminem collab song and Goteye.
Doesnt surprize me that "Stranger Things" introducing a new audience to "Running up that Hill" made it jump to No:1 after 40 odd years; its a great song! However look at what it was up against. Most music since 2017 has been average - awful

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t get the obsession with Olivia Rodrigo 😅.
I think I knew 17 or 18 of those songs.
📉 music just for the sound, nothing more.. 😢
I honestly never heard of over 30 of them well except through memes and what not but that’s not the song from start to finish so I don’t know how the song goes but those are only about 5 or 6 of those which I didn’t know 34 total or as I say heard all the way through. But I’m sure i have heard way more songs that are not “popular” that I know that most people here probably wouldn’t know or heard😂
I’ve heard of every single one, maybe I have something wrong with me
I really liked BoB and Bruno Mars on Nothing On You and Uptown Funk was a great song . Also Katy Perry and Rihanna had some really good stuff too . And also Elle Golden Love me Like You Do i thought was a really good song . I always liked that one .
tHAT dj CAT SONG FELT GOOD BUT THATS BECAUSE ITs oldskool disco/funk.15:01. I really quit the charts around 2004. A few artists like john mayor and bruno mars, also oldskool after 2010, were up to the standards of the 70s to 90s. BTW there is a 90s song called Love Fool by the Cardigans that is almost exactly like the DJ Cat song. But I like the Dj Cat song a lot better. There is no song that really gets you in the like EWF always did.
Unfortunately, the quality of new music - at least in my opinion - is constantly declining. Yes, there are exceptions like Adele, but there are fewer and fewer artists who can come up with great new songs. Maybe all the great songs are already written?
I watched a video of a current country artist who turned down an offer from a Nashville producer. In his video he mentioned how you basically sign over complete control to the company, they decide everything including what songs you sing. He turned them down because they didn't want him singing his own songs. So he took the long road and built up his brand himself, posting on youtube and playing live events. I stumbled across his music during the lockdowns when you were not allowed to do anything.
Wow! Popular music since the turn of the century, for the most part, sucked!
As a child of the sixties and seventies we had great music that still resonates today as "classic". There is a batch from the eighties and nineties that is good.
I think I recognized 3 songs, that I listened to, in 10 years worth.
Fun, Pink w/Nate Ruess ang Avicii.
This is the decade in which the Autotune effect basically killed pop music, you can really hear it creep into almost every song by the end of the video. All singing is fake now. Some of the worst offenders here being Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Drake, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, and all the KPop stuff.
Most of these songs so similar to one another that it's difficult to tell them apart. Proof that we live in a copycat society. I enjoy pre auto tune music much more. To each their own I guess.
Agreed. I also find it crazy that the dominant genres(hip hop, funk, soul) have not changed at all in like 20 years now. I don't think this has ever happened before. All sounds the same. To me this list is actually a worst-of, not a best-of, mind-boggling to think that all these were nr. 1 hits. And on the other hand I have a TON of incredible music I love that just nobody even knows of. Wild, but I love to be outside the norm, always have been as a metal/goth/EBM/grunge/punk/alternative fan 😄
It’s been copycat since the 50s buddy
Against my better judgment, I sat through that entire video... and it only confirms what I already knew: the "popular" music today is, by and large, a pile of hot garbage. I could literally count the number of "good" songs on the fingers of one hand, and even those few decent songs don't stand up to what was "popular" even as recently as the 2000's. And it's not just me being a geriatric fossil; I can and do find music I like from any time period, in practically any genre.
The biggest problem - aside from computers and automation sucking all the life and soul from modern music - is that there is no deviation from a boilerplate formula that gives you a certain prescribed sound; the artists are so one-note monotonous in their uniformity as to be practically interchangeable. Even twenty years ago, there was still something in popular music for everyone and we all had a seat at the table. Not anymore. The level of sheer diversity amongst styles and genres evident in the popular songs of the 70's, 80's, and 90's utterly outstrips that of the homogenous wall of noise we see today - while we simultaneously make so much of our undying pursuit of "diversity" in everything else.
The good news is that good new music is still being recorded by good bands and artists, all the time. The bad news is that it's nowhere to be found in mainstream media and if you want it, you're gonna have to dig for it. Society at large has chosen to embrace mediocrity.
So not my era of music. Some I love, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, Doja Cat, Dua Lipa and Sam Smith.
Not even one rock band !!!
If you want to listen to something not artificially made, the band The Warning is for you
Just try EVOLVE (OMV), DISCIPLE (Live @ Teatro Metropolitan CDMX) or their last single MORE.
Enjoy
(I love Kate Bush)
From 2015 on, I basically only know a song if Todd in the Shadows talked about it. 😂
Agreed on Billie Eilish. I give her credit for being unique and quite talented, but I have yet to find one of her songs that I actually want to listen to twice.
Surprised how many I knew 33. Not bad for a boomer
I heard Radio since 1990 Never Radio näher love music sorry für my Bad english im a German Not so good english "schwätzen"
It's not the power of Stranger Things, it's the power of good music. The fact that a merely "good" song from the 80s was musically superior to pretty much every so-called #1 song in the last decade, which by this point had more or less descended into a (non-)musical hellscape of repetitive beats, unimaginative songwriting-by-committee, and autotuned "singers" incapable of hitting a note without computerized assistance. Yeah I may be old, but I'm so thankful I was around for the 70s and 80s, and even the 90s.
Now get off my lawn!
I'm 60 and knew 75 .. probably ½ written by Max Martin - same chord progression. Meh.
I'm 71 and surprised at how many I knew. Not that I loved this era....
Chandelier should have been here. Luckily is popular even today, unlike most of these one hit wonders. Sia is a hit maker
Yes. You are right. 95 % is crap! (That could be a lyric...)
The music from 2010 onwards is far less appealing than the songs you listened to in your previous segments....
I'm hoping for a musical renaissance, but I won't hold my breath...
I hear great music all the time. It’s like 50/50. 50% from popular musicians & 50% just a few inches below the popularity line
Only good song here was from 1985.... Says alot about music today.
your not the only one . . . i have had 0 interest in billie ellish either. . .ive never understood it
Hello.
Would you like to react "Starway to Heaven" cover by Dimas Senopati?
Wow, after watching many of your videos, I can't believe you don't like Olivia Rodrigo, but you do like some of the other overproduced, over-Autotuned, simplistic and derivative horrible (IMO) songs written by collectives of "songwriters" (almost never the artist) which have been released since 2010. To me, Olivia Rodrigo was like a breath of fresh when I first heard her...creative and catchy songs (written by HER), great vocalist who puts little to no Autotune on her vocals (because she doesn't need it) and production/arrangements that use...gasp...real instruments.
I can hardly believe Get Lucky is 10 years old! You started high school the year my granddaughter was born!
A lot of these don't seem to have made it over to the UK, not that I can remember hearing them anyway.
Just not the same as Prog Rock 🤣
Not the greatest music during Lockdown across the world.
Every year you here autotune ramping up in this period. It's so bad. Also gone are the bands and real rock. So sad.
If I had listened to this blind, I would've thought the entire thing was 1 song. Growing up, I often told myself that I wouldn't tell my children their music sucked like my parents did. But you know what Gen Z....your music SUCKS!!
it sucks and its garbage esp losers like drake and them other hip hop artists..at least arianna grande and Camilla cabello are pretty and there songs arent as trash as the when guys sing ,ed sheran sucks...and so does all his songs and clean bandit are trash....
These groups are just forgettable now
To you
@@kblixtwhen did they state they were forgettable to everyone?
This is not music to me. What happened to creativity 😅, but that's just me. 🤣
The big music labels now TELL THE ARTIST what will be created.
🙈🙉🙊
Music stopped being good around 2000
Unfortunately I will not be around, but I’d like to hear if ANY of these songs will be remembered 30 years from now 🙄🙄🙄…...
Billie Ellish, Drake,Ariana , Taylor, Bieber, Cardi 🤢
Please check out Billie Eilish doing "When the Party's over" live on the Howard Stern show. If that doesn't win you over I don't know what will ;) Honestly, you're missing out on something. She has a lot of great songs in a bunch of different styles. Checkout her albums, especially "Happier than ever".
modern music is so awful.. completely souless
Voilà qui explique pourquoi j'ai cessé de suivre la musique des 10 dernières année. Juste affreux sauf quelques exceptions. Bonne soirée.
Today's music is garbage!
Pas très intéressant musicalement,le contenant est plus en valeur que le contenu..
6:19 lol my ringtone
