[QUOTE="adamw, post: 698226, member: 7066"] How about "Judge each piece of music on what you actually think of it" rather than what some sad spotty faced music journalist tells you you should be thinking about it? Discuss... Unfortunately the music buying British public, which used to be the most discerning in the world, is in danger of turning into a nation of sheep. baaaaa. I blame the download generation - buying an album or seeking out new music is just too much effort for some people these days. Why bother when you can just jump on the latest bandwagon with a cheap download once you've read the latest rave reviews??? :condom: And for that matter, how many of todays kids would go to the lengths we have to get that killer tune we heard in a club, even though we didn't even know it's name? (you know what I'm talking about ;)) And more to the point, how many would succeed? If you compare the level of journalism in the NME from now to 15, even 20 years ago, I'm sure most people would be shocked. It's appalling. As you probably know Marcus, a number of ex-NME hacks now write in the Observer Music Monthly, and while I don't agree with everything they print, at least they present an informed opinion with constructive comments to back it up, with by and large well written and well presented articles. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the NME is nothing more than a Smash Hits immitation now written by journos who specialise in infantile sensationalism. Rant over. [/QUOTE]
