Who do you think is making "good" music now or within the last year or so? Who makes you listen up and respect what they outputting? I know its a bit of an open question and I know we can all hark back to golden eras in certain artist's back catalogues - but I'm interested in who people think are still current..... |

I've always got time for new stuff by most of the early 90s pioneers, but most of the also-rans that came after can go fuck themselves, generally. |

Gerald Donald mainly. It seems everything this man touches turns to gold. |

Tuxedomoon were my favorite group of the 80s and still put out brilliant stuff. Music is always advancing though, the idea that music is past its prime or something is of course bullshit. If it was the other way around, that wouldn't look too good on the pioneers' resume, that they could only inspire and influence crap. |

If we're talking ''newer'' guys, Aidan Baker is incredibly productive and really awesome. Someday many nerds are going to spend a lot of time digging through his discography. |

If it was the other way around, that wouldn't look too good on the pioneers' resume, that they could only inspire and influence crap. Well that's what happens when people come along and attempt to ape and emulate a pioneer's style, or in the case of RDJ, ONE OF HIS ALBUMS, rather than by inspired and influnced by them in a broader sense of creating something unique themselves. I don't think music gets "better" or "worse", same as animation or television doesn't get better or worse, just the increase in volume of the stuff makes it appear so. The original topic posited was which artist(s) still make good music, citing someone who's only been around a couple of years doesn't really mean much. I've spoken to people far more knowledgable about music and less excitable than you pinheads and fanboys, but keep lapping up whatever shit's stuck in your ears if you enjoy it. |

Yeah I agree, when someone apes something, it's not inspiring. But thankfully there are plenty of artists out there that go far beyond aping. I can't really speak for ''IDM'' anymore because I hardly listen to any of it nowadays. I don't think music gets ''better'' either, a disproportionate amount of my favorite music tends to be from the 1960s or the... 1760s, but it most certainly advances as a whole, things are added and sounds that were touched on are fleshed out. Techniques are refined, pallettes are expanded, ideas are built upon, whatever. It's always been this way. It's pretty clear when listening to good new music that it differs from the music that inspired it, but I guess it's pointless to tell this to someone that doesn't want to hear it anyway. I've spoken to people far more knowledgable about music and less excitable than you pinheads and fanboys, but keep lapping up whatever shit's stuck in your ears if you enjoy it. Ha ha what? I was with you up until this. I've talked to and taken advice from people more knowledgable and with tastes more refined and varied than yours and they disagree with you, oooh vicarious e-penis. It means nothing. |

Not many people still make good music, in the sense that they used to and still do. Most of the people I like at the moment are comparative newcomers. Kromestar Pinch Burial Yes, I like dubstep... Vastly more than any IDM I've heard in the past couple of years. |

too many to list, i think. |

If you're talking about old artists that still make good music, I don't know. Most of the good music I've listened to lately was either old music or new artists. Broadcast has consistently delivered quality stuff, though. Mogwai's Mr. Beast was also brilliant. Yo La Tengo haven't disappointed me either. |

i just do not understand xltronic anymore. its like looking at a gaping wound on the internet |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
are you calling tolstoyed a gaping wound on the internet? that's not nice! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just to make it clear..i wasn't being sarcastic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha you really are a gaping wound on the internet! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, i mean, its like "MUSIC" itself is so hard to talk about around here, and its so fucking ridiculous. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
there are just too many open doors kicked open all the time. and i haven't got much to add myself either. so instead i end up calling tolstoyed a gaping wound on the internet. ...altough some would say that would be an open door as well. |

dog_belch is cool, because he knows people more knowledgable about music then us! |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

i doubt he does know more knowledgable people than any of us do. The way he speaks, basicly no one is knowledgable, but just fanboys. |
||||||||
|

yeah, I agree. I was really being sarcastic, because I think he's a bit of a loser... |

Sorry, that last bit wasn't really directed at you, especially as you know far more about music than I'd even care to, it was just a wanton, flamer of an afterthought. I do, strangely, value the opinion higher of someone who is either a musician for a living, or does have an above average interest, taste, knowledge etc in music, than say... oh, I don't know, the_funkmaster. Call me crazy, I'm sure his funny little ideas are as "valid" as anyone else's, I'm just not sure I'd be bothered to waste my time hearing them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh, good for you. I never really cared what anyone here thought about my music taste, because contrary to popular belief, music taste isn't really a popularity contest. So, whatever man, you're still a loser in my books. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And since you really know nothing about my knowledge of music, because I don't really post much here, and about music even less, that must mean that you're little jab there about my "little ideas" are based on nothing more then spite, and having to respond with my insult with one of your own. How mature and elementary school of you. At least my calling you a loser has some basis in fact, i.e. that you act like an asshole half the time on this message board. |

I dunno, when someone makes an idiotic comment like: "I've spoken to people far more knowledgable about music and less excitable than you pinheads and fanboys, but keep lapping up whatever shit's stuck in your ears if you enjoy it." I feel like responding... like what is he saying, whatever we're listening to we enjoy because we're ignorant? How arrogant. |
