Is it getting worse?

Is the musical landscape getting worse by the day?

Turn on MTV (during the hour when they play music videos) and it's actually quite frightening.

I've already trashed Gwen Stefani's "Fiddler on the Roof" travesty and Nelly/Tim McGraw's repetitive monotony.

Have you seen Jennifer Lopez's new video? Not a bad concept of her playing 10 different characters, but could that song get any worse? Why is repetition becoming so mainstream?

Are musicicans bored? Are they just lazy? "Maybe I'll write one line, and say it or play it over, and over, and over, and over."

The other day when Lopez's video came on, and the annoying saxophone-loop-so-I-can-dance started, my girlfriend actually yelled, "Stop it!"

Where is the talent? Do you think any of these people are going to be around in 10 years?

I don't see Stefani, Lopez, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte or Ciara being inducted into any Hall of Fame any time soon.

The music is mass-produced for the consumer, yet the consumer doesn't seem to care about quality any more.

If you keep buying the garbage, they'll keep selling it to you.
