Probably doesn’t fit their algorithm... Formatting is total brainwashing for money.
I’ve worked in radio for 25 years. Since streaming began, you don’t earn money unless your Taylor swift.

Taylor bloody Swift.
If Microsoft had set out to make a pop star, she would be the result. How the sheer calculation and disingeunity fools so many is a testament to the power of mass media brainwashing.
I dislike most modern pop music but the girl has undeniable talent in writing catchy pop songs. I can actually stand her music because its damn catchy and clever. She is a lot more talented than most curmudgeons give her credit for - including me initially.
Well... let’s say, I like her haircut. That’s the important thing. That, and the clothes, perfume, jewellery... tattitata blah
That’s what’s generating money. I don’t think any new Popstar inspires anyone to buy an instrument and learn how to play...

Hey, if it works for you, MikeyP, that’s great.

Image is all, Kühl.
As we know, pop and rock music has always been heavily influenced by its own image. But in the past some exponents we’re trying to promote change, awareness or growth in various positive ways.
The first example of many that springs to mind is ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again’ by The Who.
Today, I have no doubt that there are music makers still trying to ‘say something’ amongst the work that is intended purely to entertain. I know that RTM do that, ‘cause I write it,
But in the mainstream industry sponsored arena, very few acts seem to be even trying to make a point, today. It’s all just formulaic - if well crafted - fluff and nonsense, intended to distract and confuse.
There is a huge difference between aspiring to be like Taylor Swift and aspiring to be like Kate Bush, for example. KB challenged the system throughout her career, whereas TS is the system.
Kate Bush, definitely!
I just ask people to wring their brains a little: Did the all the most talentless, but sexy, groupies take over the music scene while rock pioneers lay in a daze of dope? It looks that way from my planet

ISTM, that what changed was the industry deciding to standardise product. So rather than take a chance on someone innovative, who might sell, they pushed only versions of what had sold before. All anguished boy bands or vaguely Hispanic warbling girls. Then equipped them with bland, formulaic one song fits all tunes, pounded into the public consciousness by Radio Boredom across the planet.
As for being sexy, I find the average popstrell of today either asexual, like the aforementioned Taylor Swift and Leona Lewis, or over the top crude, like Nicki Minaj and Miley Cyrus. There are exceptions, of course, who manage to combine sexiness with class, but they are in a minority.
The pendulum always swings back, hopefully with a blade on
OMG LOL. Look you can dislike her and her music - thats fine - but this is such an old person's argument. There is nothing more inherently bad about Taylor Swift than Debbie Gibson in the 80s, or Diana Ross in the 60s/70s. Pop music is what it is. If you are looking for creative, cutting edge artistic excellence you are looking in the wrong place, and that is nothing new. Are we going to start the "I hateNickelback" thread next?
In Swift's case I daresay you're probably wrong on this - I am sure lots of young girls are picking up the guitar and singing because of her - way more so than some of the other artists out there, but regardless in general I think its a pretty strange bar for measuring the worth or success of a pop artist.
I am not even sure why you guys are even comparing Kate Bush and Taylor Swift? The Kate Bush's are still out there but like she was, they are not really mainstream so you arent hearing about them as much.
Anyhoo - Rock is definitely still out there but it is no longer really "Pop music" like it once was. Pure pop and hip hop is.
Rock is dead. Long live rock.
That is just the point, MikeyP. Innovative acts today are not being allowed to break though, not being given corporate support. Sure, there are some great acts around today who do not follow the formula. But they only get on fringe radio, not the mainstream.
My point is that this is nothing new. Kate Bush was not really mainstream either. The landscape has changed. Radio is largely irrelevant. MTV is dead. iTunes rules.

I agree. That is the point. The only thing that has changed is that the machine wants far less innovation, and much more formula.
>
I fear that you are probably correct.
This I can agree with. It's not just true in music. The movie industry has been plagued by this.
>
Absolutely right. TV also.
I don’t know if you’ve had the misfortune to see Star Trek Discovery. What happened there was Paramount bastardising their franchise for an agenda favoured by the actors and writers.
Regardless of where any of us stands with reference to what they are pushing, Paramount has forgotten the Prime Directive of showbiz: to entertain. We watch TV and go to the movies for entertainment, not a lecture.
There will be a backlash.
Great idea.
We do need both of course
I listened to Regina Spektor Live in London today on Spotify, I’ve never heard it before. I only knew a little bit of her music, but wow. Sadly, someone I knew for a brief time through playing at church was the bandleader on that album and some subsequent work of hers until he drowned swimming in the lake the day before their performance at Montreaux in 2012 (I think), so I was a little sad listening, but I will be checking out more of her work for sure. Musically not terribly similar to Kate Bush but definitely bucking the system.

A huge talent, for sure. Not getting the push she deserves.
I’m an old seasoned rocker, that’s why I’m right
Don’t let my satire and wordsmithery offend you. One just takes a little truth and cast a spotlight on it.
I love Taylor Swift, she’s almost as beautiful as Joni Mitchell, but Joni could finger pick even if someone chopped her head off. That’s tradecraft

Thanx, I’ll check it out. I’ll try fin the url

Tried to PM you, but system won’t allow me to post URL without cutting off the last six tracks. Please just look up Repulse the Monkey on BandCamp.
Looks like he’s having well-deserved fun at present:
I was at the last show of the Savage tour and it was incredibly powerful. Not really visually – I didn’t even see the drummer and I was 5 m from the stage – but the sound was massive and the album is absolutely some of his best work yet. Really hoping he’ll play somewhere close soon again.
