What makes REALLY GOOD Music?
For me, it has to be meaningful and/or have a plot.
Is it just me or do you lot all agree? |

I agree with you!
It has to not be on MySpace - Yeah, you could do that, but it makes it SO annoying! Teen girls will basically add anyone they see on their friends list. Then you just become some sort of MySpace Icon. Not that I'm saying all MySpace artists are bad, but it's just the easy way out of advertising yourself to the public, as in going to a radio station's morning show and asking to play on there. Once you're on MySpace, it takes all that work away from you. It should be recorded with real music - I hate tracks, I honestly do. If you're going to use a track, just make sure to add some type of instrument. And don't think that people will not believe it's a track. It's very easy to tell nowadays. I think tracks should be used in remixing purposes only. |

Keane don't use any guitars, which just goes to prove you don't need them to make good rock music.

obviously being a fan of mainly rock music i think that guitars can make really good music, i love the Bass guitar but obviously guitars dont fit in every song. Sometimes i have listened to a song and thought that it would sound much better with a guitar in it, like something's missing, but sometimes i've heard songs where they will have like a 10 sec guitar part and think that if they were going to be that uninventive why bother???

Anything i like is good music. If you like it, then it is good to you and that is only thing that counts IMO, there are far too many different types of music, cross types of music and artists to be able to say that "X is always good".
It has to come down to personal taste, if you like it, it makes you want to listen to it again and again, then it is good music

Anyway: what's good music? For me, it has to have what I like to call The Funk™. If it has no soul, I'm unlikely to like it. This is a fairly abstract concept, and isn't as easy to define as black vs white boy music, or even acoustic vs electronic instruments; I like a wide variety of styles/genres of music! |

I don't think the idea of using guitars is getting old, its how musicians play them. The guitar styles across indie music now is quite synonymous.
What we need is another Tom Morello!! |
