Cheech and Chong lives

CW probably over 90% of pop songs use auto tune.  While it tends to enhanse the sound it does not manufacture new sounds. 

Ive heard this girl sing quite a bit and my opinion stays the same

Here she is on a Bette Midler cover

I wasn't trying to talk you out of liking her, 320.
Just saying that unless you've heard her sing live in an intimate venue, you don't know if you're hearing her natural singing voice or her pitch-corrected singing voice.

Very interesting CW

Probably why I prefer music from the 40s thru the 70s over whats out there today

as a kid I used to visit the local music store often and I still have these records today

Eh, sounds a lot like an old man yelling at the clouds.  I don't agree with the general premise that "music is getting worse." 

There's certainly a lot of bad music out there.  But there's also a lot of good music out there.  It's true that music is easier to make (and distribute) now, than ever before.  And that means there's a lot MORE music, in general.  More bad music, more good music, just more music.

Basically old people are nostalgic and prefer the things from their youth.  Nothing new there, at all.

Music has definately changed away from my tastes

Yes I may be old but I know what I like and todays music with a few exceptions I dont care for


now excuse me I have to run some kids off my lawn

I can't sit here as a card-carrying Gen Xer and whine about the devolution of music into a visual medium. When music videos started being an "instead of" rather than "in addition to" an artist's talent profile, things changed. A few minutes "mixing beats" will turn you from "Instagram famous" into "recording star".
I can see where those used to the 7 minute guitar driven tapestries from the 60's and 70's didn't much care for the 3 power chord hair metal I enjoyed. Those 7 minute anthems surely disappointed and annoyed the 50's era beat boppers (and Brill building stalwarts) who thought their tunes were SO SUPERIOR to the Big Band crooners of the 40's. Those guys didn't have much to look down on, because recorded music didn't really exist in that form before then (Tin Pan Alley was around in the 20's, but it mainly existed to sell sheet music rather than non-existent audio recordings).
