TED NUGENT Says TAYLOR SWIFT's Songs Sound Like 'Cartoon Music': 'It's Not Organic And Genuine And Believable'

Don't know about TS music, I've never listened. What he says about the current state of the music biz, imo, is dead on correct.

We watched a few seasons of American Idol, and what we watched was pretty damned entertaining. The season after Adam Lambert won, we noticed the music choices changing. It changed so much, that we refused to watch it any longer.

Every song selection sounded exactly like the one before and, as Ted alluded to - the current state of music, was void of any originality, lacked energy, and just plain ole cookie cutter chit. I told HBPW that this is nothing short of slit your wrist crap.

I absolutely detest all new "artist" and their music post 1986. Lol. They are a few exceptions.

Now ask yourselves, what single music industry event played the biggest part in killing the music?

My answer is this: When the radio stations were bought up and syndicated/conglomerized(®😁).

Even the radio station I listen to (Classic Rock 103.5) sucks. I want to here a variety of classic rock, not just the top 40 from years past. Not just the white stuff, that is currently overplayed. I wanna station that is going to mix in the MJ, Lou Rawls, Barry White, GFOS, Dianna Ross, and Dionne Waricks of days gone by. Like they used to back in the 70s when they too were top 40.
The only band of color they play on 103.5 is In Living Color (Cult of Personality) and I LOVE that song!

Yes, radio giants like Cumulus suck. Using algorithms to choose what to play when rather than the DJs playing what they want.

Yeah, I agree. I never turn on a radio anymore, youtube and spotify are it. I love the song threads. I often look at them before I go run for ideas. Lol.

I don't listen to pop Taylor, except for one song and it's not a good song, for some reason I like to hear it when I run. It's like a guilty pleasure. Like B-52's, The go go's, Gwen Stefani...that stupid banana song.

I like several of her country songs, but Ted is right, they don't sound genuine, but they are. She's one of those that writes their own songs but can't sell the feels.

Anyway, she's done well for herself and has put in the work. I can respect that.

I remember being up all night listening to the radio. The DJs were as entertaining as the music and, most importantly, L I V E! I loved listing to everything back then - Country, Rock, Soul, sprinkled with a bit of gospel.

I remember the first time I heard Hells Bells.

On the side of my house, so I could smoke and sneak beer, cleaning my first car.

Been waiting forever to hear something new from that album. Radio was on Rock 106. I'll never forget that.

I do, some. Usually, if I am, it's being shoved in my ear by my sons or HBPW. Sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised. Most times I'm looking for a different radio station.

The problem is you are listening to radio stations. There's plenty of good contemporary music but you have to find it Mal. Don't be lazy!

Some people listen to music they like, if the new artists “music” is worthless trash why listen to it? I listen to sports stations on the radio and Spotify music I like when I want to listen to music (blues and rock and roll mostly).
