Music Stinks, What Else is New?

So, I know I'm not alone in feeling this, but music on the radio has lost it's spark. I think it was back in 1998 when I last really enjoyed listening to current music on the radio. Nowadays it's "What decent song will be ruined by having the radio play it to death?"

Yes there is good music out there. John Mayer has come out with really good songs, none of which I find annoying. I love Jason Mraz's "The Remedy" even after 6 months of near constant radio play. But then again there's bands like Matchbox 20 that produce songs that I know will annoy me after the fourth or fifth time hearing it.

I just wish they'd pay more attention to producing music that's good, instead of silly pop music that's good right now, but will embarrass you in 6 months.

Sad to say that my recent CD purchases include Elvis, the Beatles, and Pink Floyd. I can't even remember the last time I bought a CD that was produced in the past year, though again I would consider a John Mayer CD or even Jack Johnson.

Producers: Make quality music.
Musicians: Pay attention to what you want to do, not what others say you should do to sell albums
Consumers: Stop buying crap.
Britney, Christina, Justin, etc: Just. Stop. Please.
