Songs from the Past or Songs from now?

Music is a beautiful thing, the universal language of all. Almost all of us love songs, whether they are classical pieces or songs from popular culture. But the question is: Do you prefer songs from the past or songs from nowadays? Or more simply, do you prefer songs from this century or before this century?

THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE GAME MUSIC!

In my opinion, I prefer songs from before this century. Songs from the '80's, '70's, '60's and '50's. Some of my personal favourites include Michael Jackson, Phil Collins, John Farnham, ABBA, The Beatles, Mister Mister, Janette Jackson, The Monkey and Men at Work.

While I believe that every song has potential, old songs are what, personally, I think have more taste, more beautiful melodies and more catchy tunes. Songs from nowadays can never amount to the songs from the past (there are a few exceptions such as Katy Perry). I am not a fan at all of the style of R&B or Hip Hop, as they are bland to my taste. Most songs nowadays have terrible lyrics that include swearing or words that I find quite disturbing whereas many songs in the past, I recall, are fairly modest and include meaningful lyrics.

Everybody, please remember that these are only just my opinion, and if I offended anybody with these opinions, please be gentle on me and ask me politely to take back what I said, for I dislike hurting anybody's feelings.

 

Off course you can! To be honest, I only said that game music is not included is because I will have A LOT to write about it since I love game music so much, and there is another thread about game music.

Oh, and about that last line you mention about modern pop music, I completely agree with you, just not with that 'c' word I cannot use.
