Musicians have forgotten how to produce music with a melody for the most part. The really hard rock is just a wall of noise to me and the rap/bebop stuff just has nothing to attract me and just seems too thug for my tastes. Maybe my tastes are old school but the music from the 60's, 70's, 80's, and I have recently found from a post above some of the 90's excluding the disco most disco stuff is my mainstay. I also find that some of the new age stuff if you are discriminant can be very nice.
