I just realized that there is no decent mainstream music available in America. Radio stations constantly play boyband music like N-Sync and pop music like Madonna. If they're not playing Britney Spears for the millionth time, you will hear some Latino bullshit. Other radio stations play hiphop, a music which now consists only of lyrics about bling-bling and people getting shot numerous times. I can't stand the crap that's available today. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but that's what I hear when I turn on my radio or television. I used to buy Dream Dance, compilations of best house/trance, cds every now and then, but lately they've been including too many shitty songs-- so many, in fact, that the two cds with 40 songs would only have about 1 or 2 worth listening.
No offense to Americans, but I'm glad I could speak in a language other than English. I listened to foreign music ever since I was a kid. I really tried to enjoy America's mainstream, but there wasn't anything good available... AT ALL. I'm grateful that there is an alternative earcandy solution available to me. However, that solution is limited; the foreign music that I love oh-so-much isn't available all the time. The releases are usually delayed by months before they're available in the US, and even then, not all of them make it here.
I'd appreciate if someone could list a few of their favorite American groups/singers. I want to know what an average American listens to. I KNOW that there's got to be some decent stuff available that, for reason unknown, isn't being played all around.
Although old, the only American song I like is called "Paint it Black," by Rolling Stones. I found out about it while watching "Full Metal Jacket."
