Here's a challenge for anyone who wants to discuss this topic. Can anyone remember a single from 5 years ago worth repeating? 4 years ago? 3 years ago? Etc?

Pop music has hit a dead end, in my view. The future is in niches.

Regards, Ivan

I agree with you 100%. My pre-teenage kids can't even listen to the new 'so-called' pop music out now. Everything is fusion music or teeny-pop that just does not have lasting appeal or a solid fan-core base.

Anyway, I just listen to my generation of music with a toouch of nistalgia and am good to go. :)

But, last year "It's Hard Out There For A Pimp" won an Oscar. It must be a really good song, almost spiritual!!

"In The End" by Linkin Park, IMO is a pretty good song from 5 years ago. (at least, I THINK it's from 2001)

Also, "Alive" by POD is pretty good. (again, I'm a bit fuzzy on the year it came out) There are actually some pretty good Christian rock bands out there now. Christian music has progressed quite a bit from Amy Grant or Stryper.

Precious by Depeche Mode (whole album's good IMO). Not surprisingly, the band has been around for a quarter of a century.

"Under The Bridge" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is a pretty good song.

Hmmm, but I bet it was more than five years ago.
You're right.
