Rock and Pop

Pros: Madonna, Reznor/Waters, and a lot of laughs
Cons: Bad Award shows and stupid things that'll still make you laugh

Part 3: The Good, Bad, and Embarrassing Moments of 2000.

The year of 2000 has had some highlights this years which were good, bad, and downright embarrassing this year. From Madonna's return to David Letterman to Diana Ross's Supreme fiasco,...

Pros: New releases from good artists coming
Cons: Too much sh*t on the radio and tv

For the past few year, the term "alternative" has been blurred. Some people call bands like Matchbox 20, Third Eye Blind, Eve 6, Nine Days, Vertical Horizon, and other of these "Modern Rock" bands "alternative". Not to me...

Pros: Winners that aren't from the mainstream
Cons: Too much bad stuff on TV and Radio

Part 4: The Winners & Losers of 2000

The year of 2000 was a year of too much style and no substance. It was a year where acts that sell a lot of records will end up become forgettable in the five years. Though there were some artists...

Pros: awful can sometimes = funny
Cons: these bands are just bad, bad, bad

THREE ROCK BANDS I'D LIKE TO KILL
and how

This should basically be an adult only epinion. Please forgive me now!

I decided that I...

Pros: read
Cons: read

Pros: excuse me?
Cons: pardonez moi?

I think that everyone can agree with me when I say that the state of todays’ popular music isn’t exactly great. Sure, it could be worse (we could be listening to The Osmonds again), but a run-down of the #1 Billboard Pop hits of the 90’s compared to,...

Pros: New releases from artist are going to be good.
Cons: They're going to have to deal with the TRL crop.

As the year of 2000 is about to end, I'm definitely betting that some people are feeling that the year of 2000 has been a terrible year in music. As for the year 2001, I'm predicting that the music scene will still be dominated by teen-pop and...

Pros: A lot of good female rock acts in the 90s
Cons: Not a lot of good stuff from female artists nowadays

Now in this world of teen-pop princesses and rap-metal mooks, I started to notice that the rock scene doesn't have a lot of female artists as it did back in the 90s. Sure there's Kittie but I don't think they're very good. Courtney Love was cool back...

Pros: read
Cons: read

Pros: What I Heard
Cons: I didn't get out much...

Since a large portion of my brain still lives in the past, I probably spent more time listening to music that came out in past decades then I did listening to the current crop. But I did find a few things spectacular in 2000. This is my top ten:
...

Pros: The bands that are still here will make some good music soon.
Cons: Too many bands are being overshadowed by cr*p.

Part 2: The Decline of 90s Substance

While rap-metal and teen-pop ruled the charts, radio, and television all over the marketplace, artists from the past decade like Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, and other 90s acts either had...

Pros: -
Cons: -

One of the things that has always annoyed me about epinions is the fact that you can’t make best-of-year (or even best-of-decade) lists as a music reviewer, while movie reviewers can. You see, end of year lists would be perfect for epinions: since more...

Pros: There is a wealth of music out there, you've just gotta turn off your radios to find it.
Cons: People won't turn off their radios (scared?)

Confused by my title? You should be, it confuses me to and I wrote it! But, oh well, to pressing matters.

I've thought about this a lot recently. What exactly makes a trend in music? I mean, apparently we didn't learn from the Debbie Gibson...

Pros: Most Pop-Tastic Lp of the past year from Britain
Cons: Apathy on everyone's part

It isn't easy being a pop-radical, trust me. In fact, if it wasn't for the over-all feeling of superiority one gets (oh, and the music too) it almost wouldn't be worth doing. Times being what they are and Epinions being what it is, there comes a time...

Pros: A lot of good art was made
Cons: There was some awful videos at the time

In this era of TRL, videos have become cr*p and no substance. Every time on MTV, there's a rap-metal video with some band trying to look cool; a rap video with some jack*ss wearing gold or platinum teeth carrying dollar bills; teen pop princesses trying...
