WE NEED A MUSIC REVOLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!

Aren't you tired of the same music that the local radio stations play?
Thanks god for the internet that allow us to discover new artists and better options.

But seriously, what's up with all that crappy hip hop music, the stupid bubble gum pop songs and the emo-punk rocker wannabes bands that you over hear not only on the radio but in the MTV channel "NEW GENERATION" shows ( The Hills, Kaya, etc).

I'M SO SICK OF IT!!

I hope that this year we stop listening to these lame songs that has been invading the charts for more than 8 years already.
It's not that I hate all these music! Don't get me wrong...
God bless Outkast, Jay-Z, Timbaland, Kanye and Missy but what about all these MFs that are contaminating the radio stations with stupid songs that scream I like your booty, I drive a million dollar car and take showers with Crist-ALL .







The #1 in the nation right now is a guy named FLO RIDA. He is like a younger version of LL Cool J, fact that is good for my eyes, (If you know what I mean?) but come on!!! Haven't we heard enough of getting LOW?

And yes I did the TO THE WINDOW, TO THE WALL dance in 2003 but enough of "getting low" songs!!

We need a new music revolution full of high quality songs!
Maybe is because I'm an 80's kid... I miss those days when the Top 10 of the Billboard Magazine was full of a nice variety of great songs of different styles.
Music, lyrics and rhythms were so diverse, colorful and vibrant.
Remember the time when popular music was also good music? :

During the winter of '87 The Bangles showed us how to WALK LIKE AN EGYPTIAN...
Back in 1983, Aussies Men at Work, Soul God Marvin Gaye and multitalent band Toto were powerful music icons with amazing classic songs like "Down Under", "Sexual Healing" and "Africa"respectively.













Please bring back the good music!!

Here's some GOOD music that I recommend for this season:

Be very aware of the new wave of female songwritters that has been promoting their impressive work for the last 6 months:

Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, A Fine Frenzy, Ingrid Michaelson, Bat for Lashes and my favorites from last year Kate Nash and Adele.

Nash is the artist of the month for MTV (which is kind of weird 'cause I haven't watched any of her videos on that channel) and Adele has been selected by international music critics, editors and broadcasters as the Best New Act for this 2008.





If you got a copy of my TOP 100 SONGS of 2007, you will find Kate's "Foundations" and Adele's "Hometown glory" included in this playlist.
(Please ask me for a copy of this CD - Music Countdown If you haven't got it yet.)

I leave you with another short list of singers, songs and bands that will make big noise during this new year's season:

My favorite quote here is "the multitalented Toto"! Come on, Buddy, if you're going to use examples of the brilliance of 80's music, I think there are better examples than Toto. Oh, Really!!!!
