I like the music that's out there today, but this is crap.
I like Linken Park, Lady Gaga, Sia............. and I like a few AWOL Nation things. So I'm not totally out of touch.
I like music that doesn't sound like machinery running.
I just shortened the sentence from "It is music I don't appreciate" to "it's crap". I coulda been more accurate if I had added "It's crap imo". So I apologize for not adding the "imo" part.

Good music remains timeless and ageless. imo Your comment re old people and their musical inclinations struck me as funny.
I listen to all types of music... even some of what you have put on your metal thread, to see if there's something enjoyable about it.
I have listened to certain songs, have an immediate dislike....then after a radio DJ plays it over and over... it finally resonates. It makes me wonder sometimes if the radio DJ takes payola...
If all of us liked the same music it would be kind of boring actually.
Payola was never offered to me...but I didn't work at popular music stations. The most we ever spun a song was 12 times a week.
Guilty pleasures include Hot Hot Hot...and Love Train...

Thanks, Craig. The station I listen to plays Adult Contemporary. At certain times of the day... the same song seems to be playing no matter what(lots of repetition). This has been going on for years. Maybe the DJ is just too lazy to grab something else to put on.
I know the words to many songs because of all the repetitious plays.
Then from a psychological standpoint -- a comfort in almost always knowing what to expect next. It seems to set the tone for the station. imo

It's a strange mental set that radio programmers have. Yes...part of it is "familiarity"...and there is no way to make a new song "familiar" other than through such painful redundancy. For the most part, the DJ has zero input into the playlist, especially on such heavily formatted genres as Adult Contemporary. These stations work off the "Top 40" lists...meaning that there are vast swaths of music unable to get airplay.
I worked at true alternative stations...where the goal was to play good music...and try to find something to connect to the audience with. Simple concepts like playing rain songs...when it is raining...or food songs on Thanksgiving...
