It's just the current fashionable "singer" that's all, let's face it there's not a great deal of talent to choose from. I feel sorry for young ones these days, the state of current pop music is dire at best, they all sound the same, have the same vocal effects, soulless bilge.

I feel sorry for old ones nowadays saying everything sounds the same and stuck listening to music from the 70s. ;) There has never been a better time to access many different types of music.

I'm talking about mainstream pop not music you will generally only hear on Radio 6. From the 60s right up until maybe the 2010's there was a variety of styles in the charts, now a song has to conform to a particular style and sound to get any sort of airtime on Capital, Radio 1 etc.
 
I might be old but I gave Billie Eilish a listen. Reckon I'll be whistling that cheery song all day long. Or maybe I won't. Certainly an acquired taste. However, I agree with HK it's a really good time to discover music, both old and new. YouTube is definitely my friend.

Ah well - once Dom Cumm and the anti-BBC lobby in the Conservative Party have got their way with the BBC licence fee scrapped and BBC becomes a subscription service such as Radio 6 Music is going to be vulnerable...as it was and still might be if the over 75s licence fee funding issue isn't resolved and the BBC change their current intentions

Why do you feel the need to drag every thread down with your anti tory political tripe. It really has no place in this thread, why not save it for those threads that actually have relevance.

Simply we should treasure Radio6 Music - not that long ago that it was nearly lost...and it could still be lost as there are some in the government and advising them who would have policy that would see such as Radio6 Music at risk (and I do wish that that were unfounded tripe). I do hope not. It is a great resource of hearing new music - music that the commercial stations don't really address.

[EDIT] Apologies for dragging politics (though it';s more to do with BBC funding) into this conversation...just feel rather strongly pro Radio 6 Music.
