Today's hip tunes. New music that isn't Classic Rock or Jazz!

i remember back in the late 60s,early 70s when FM radio station DJ's played pretty much whatever they wanted similar to today's college stations. and commonly a DJ would play an entire LP side straight thru. by the 80s FM was not much better than AM. I agree New Wave was the best music from the early 80s.

"...the network media...... Those airing music to national audiences foster this peer pressure by dictating which music should or should not get exposure" - i assume you are talking about music shows on TV here, i dont watch much TV, but it seems about right.

"...remember back in the 1960s, the network media was not overly restrictive with the type of music being aired. There were even a lot of classical concerts being aired in those days. I don't know what happened, but things changed drastically in the early 1970s, and it seems like the public no longer thought freely about music. And there, in my opinion, is the root of the travesty." - yes most people these days seem to have VERY limited music circles, what really strikes me as funny is when they tell me i need to "open my music horizons" when i state that i dont like some certain newer music they happen to listen to, like huh? i listen to classical from the middle ages to present, ragtime, blues from turn of the century to present, reggae, zedeco, cajan, traditional indian and japasese, folk, celtic, new age, electronic, and pop/rock from the 50s to present, and i am the closed (musically) minded one?.
