Whers the good music gone?

I heard vinyl sales is going up lately so maybe there’s a resurgence in listening to albums.
Personally I’m into heavy metal mostly and that genre tends to stay true to the old ways.

I'm not surprised. I have a decent record collection and recently bought a new turntable to be able to listen to them. I've even started buying albums again. Maybe it's my imagination but to my ear vinyl provides me with a slightly warmer and fuller sound experience than CDs or mp3s.

Yeah I’m not sure if it’s imagination but I agree that the sound is somehow richer. I’m far from an audiophile but I appreciate all the parts, speakers, turntable, amp, needle, that come together to create the sound. The occasional cracks and pops just adds to the experience

There is still some good music being made, but things have changed a lot. There aren’t any charts as such these days, CD’s are out, but vinyl is making a good come back. To get a “number one hit” now you don’t need to “sell” many. I say sell as much isn’t physical anymore too. But the pro being everything is portable on a grander scale.

Seems to be a lot of people making music using computer, fair enough there is some skill but it ain’t the same as playing an instrument. Seems to be a lot that’s over hyped, Billy Eillish for one, I feel the talent there is with her brother who does all the backing to her “singing” if you can call it that. Then I have to remember everything is something to someone.

Me I am very much into the music I grew up with 60’s, 70’s and 80’s

Speaking of good music. I'm working from home a lot now and have to listen to music most of the time to drown out the 2 children under 2. I'm bored of listening to my Spotify daily mix and fancy getting into a good album, anyone got any recommendations? I realise everyone has their own tastes, but just interested in something new. Currently listening to Fleetwood Mac Rumours, and before that I was listening to Metallica/Queen/The Beatles

Radio paradise.
Online radio station.
You can download cache to phone app as well to play offline.
You can choose the quality it plays in. Including FLAC.

It has a number of channels, regular, rock... Um something else and something else.....

It is very likely to remind you of some music.
Also gives some newer stuff as well.
I often just have it running as I like most of it.

Thanks for the tip Grarea, looks good.

I only recently found it while searching hopefully for flac stuff.
I am completely loving the quality and the mixes.
Breath of fresh air having FLAC radio.

I only discovered the app a couple of days ago.
I am just trying to work out why it switches my bluetooth off when i hit play in the van.
It plays fine from downloaded cache from my phone, but won't play via BT.
I suspect i have something set wrong somewhere.

 

[Vacumatic]

I found that out too, fine on my phone but not on my PC which I assumed was done to very old OS.

Good find though and no ads, can't be bad.

 

[Grarea]

Interesting, works fine on my pc.
But i am running it with browser.
I have tried it fine with chromium and Firefox.

My lifelong friend and brother is the guitarist in this video. It’s fresh off the presses.

Good music is here, but not all of it is mainstream. I use reviewers like the Needle Drop to find good music. Or websites like rateyourmusic.com
