5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards)”

1. Yes
2. I don't
3. Radio
4. As others have said, it's easily accessable so you can buy things off the cuff.
5. There's too much of it, I can't keep up!

1 - Yes, I've had two different CD walkmans in the past and still have one which I use occasionally. I used to use them all the time before iPods/MP3 players.

2 - Well, I only have Freeview so there's not much choice. I randomly flick through all of them, especially the more poppy ones like Viva, Smash Hits, Heat etc. 4Music is also good. But generally I have to be in an energetic mood to listen to those. Magic is better if you're tired.

3 - At the moment, internet. I use Spotify a lot because it's so convenient and you can listen to almost anything on it.

4 - It is much easier to find out about and listen to different sorts of music than it used to be and people's tastes are more eclectic because of the internet. Smaller music acts have more recognition and can even become famous through building up a fanbase on the internet eg. Arctic Monkeys.

5 - The loss of live music programs such as Top of the Pops. It is much more difficult to know about who is in the charts and see what they look like and their live performance styles. Also, music fans/performers trying to be far too cool for their own good. A lot of the fun, carefree nature of pop music that used to exist has been lost. Also the loss of the single and physical music formats because of the B-sides and album artwork, which used to be standard.

1 - Did you ever own a cassette / CD walkman - both

2 - what music channel on Sky / Freeview / cable do you find yourself listening to the most? - 4Music, The Box (if it's still there, or has that been replaced by 4Music?), Kerrang!, Q, MTV2, MTV Hits

3 - how do you mainly listen to music. TV, Radio, internet, or your own CD / MP3 player - Internet and on my computer (iTunes), iPod. But mainly computer.

4 - What is the best thing about modern music (2002 onwards) - There is a ton of choice (online).

5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards) - Some of the 'artists' in the charts. For example, I think NDubz are awful. Also, lack of talent.

1. Yep, seems like a hundred years ago now though

2. None now, but used to like a bit of MTV2

3. Radio, internet, CD's

4. I'm going for ease of availability too.

2 - what music channel on Sky / Freeview / cable do you find yourself listening to the most?
I've got Freeview, and their choice of music channels is limitd to one, which I don't watch. So none.

3 - how do you mainly listen to music. TV, Radio, internet, or your own CD / MP3 player
I use YouTube for casual listening, and when I want to buy I either order the CD (for albums) or download it onto my Ipod (individual songs).

4 - What is the best thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
Availability.

5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
It doesn't matter what genre you're in, the best stuff will never be the stuff you find first. A lot of the old genres that used to mean something have been dumbed down now, so you have to look harder to find the decent bands.”

1 - Did you ever own a cassette / CD walkman
Yep (and still have it somewhere!) / no

2 - what music channel on Sky / Freeview / cable do you find yourself listening to the most?
Don't have any of the above

3 - how do you mainly listen to music. TV, Radio, internet, or your own CD / MP3 player
Radio 2, although I can't stand it for long due to the dreadful crap on the playlists, Last.fm is a boon for checking out new stuff before I buy, Amazon for cds, which get copied to my laptop before I take them to work & play them in the truck's cd player. I stick with cds over downloads because the mantra of anyone who's ever owned a computer is 'Always Back Up Your Files'. If you're gonna back them up, maybe to, like, a cd, then you're back to having a lot of cds sitting around. Might as well have ones that are nice to look at with stuff to read.

4 - What is the best thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
The best thing is that EVERYTHING - virtually all the music ever recorded - is now available. All you have to do is look for it. As far as new music goes, I have no interest in it at all.

5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
Ha, how long have you got? It's chronic. Flat, dull, boring. No use of melody, rhythm, harmony, hooks. All the life, all the fun and excitement has been auto-tuned and over-produced out. All we have are dreary sub-Radiohead - no, even sub-Coldplay - wimpy indie bedwetters, karaoke contest winners and over-wrought RnB wannabe divas trying to crowbar as many notes in as they can manage, whether the song needs it or not.

What happened to TUNES?

12-01-2010
1 - Did you ever own a cassette / CD walkman
- Yep, both - former was actually preferable because it wouldn't skip, and cassettes were more robust

2 - what music channel on Sky / Freeview / cable do you find yourself listening to the most?
- I watch 4Music to mock it

3 - how do you mainly listen to music. TV, Radio, internet, or your own CD / MP3 player
- iPod mainly, but now I have a beautiful Wi-Fi radio I'm using that for when I'm just in my room

4 - What is the best thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
- The playlist, the mass storage mp3 player, shuffle options (I can't pick one, they all work together so well!)

5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
- Music becoming more and more commercialised
COAX
12-01-2010
1- Yes

2- Don't listen to stuff through the tv, the sound quality is too low for my liking

3- Spotify through the computer or vinyl

4- Loads and loads of choice on spotify

5- Top 40 chart and rnb- Can't stand it and it just gets played repetitively everywhere

1 - Did you ever own a cassette / CD walkman

Portable cassette player yes

2 - what music channel on Sky / Freeview / cable do you find yourself listening to the most?

None

3 - how do you mainly listen to music. TV, Radio, internet, or your own CD / MP3 player

Internet (streaming radio and downloads/streamed tracks) and iPod touch

4 - What is the best thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
That bands can gain a wider exposure via the internet as opposed to fighting to be playlisted or ending up ghettoised on tiny radio stations. Exhibit A: Arctic Monkeys.

5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
Talent shows which are a breeding ground for cosy. safe acts singing grandma-approved show tunes and the sort of rubbish that greets you on a trip to McDs or BK.

The Top 40 - because I dislike 90 per cent of what's in it which is a sign of turning into my Dad . Mind you, the net has made the charts and single sales irrelevant for many I reckon.

1 - Did you ever own a cassette / CD walkman

Yep I did - still have it gathering dust somewhere

2 - what music channel on Sky / Freeview / cable do you find yourself listening to the most?

MTV Hits (don't have many music channels on cable any more)

3 - how do you mainly listen to music. TV, Radio, internet, or your own CD / MP3 player

TV, youtube, laptop, own Ipod

4 - What is the best thing about modern music (2002 onwards)

That you can play songs on the internet any time of the day or night (no waiting for TOTP or CDUK to play songs, just log on to Youtube) and that its easier to discover new music.

5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards)
The X Factor
Inkblot
12-01-2010
1 - Yes, both

2 - NME Radio

3 - Radio, online radio, iPod/iTunes files on iMac

4 - It's OK to be unfashionable and just write good songs...

1 - Did you ever own a cassette / CD walkman

Both. I still have them.

2 - what music channel on Sky / Freeview / cable do you find yourself listening to the most?

I can't remember the last time I've listened to any music channel on Sky. They're usually full of chart rubbish.

3 - how do you mainly listen to music. TV, Radio, internet, or your own CD / MP3 player

I still listen to a lot of CDs, but increasingly MP3s over the internet.

4 - What is the best thing about modern music (2002 onwards)

Digital delivery. The fact that you don't have to purchase an entire album for one good song.

5 - what is the worst thing about modern music (2002 onwards)

The music industry continually attempting to criminalise filesharers, even though they they spend more of their money on buying music than anyone else.
