So, playing good music when the fewest people are listening brings in money?

@Holysocks First of all, "good" is pretty relative, but it's about what songs sell the most, are highest on the charts, and make the most money. Those are the songs that people will tune in to hear, therefore, the songs the radio station will play. It's all about ratings... The higher the ratings, the easier it is to sell ad space, and the more they can charge for it.

@Benthoven I pity the young ones and their complete lack of taste. :/

@Holysocks I grew up in the 70s and 80s, I'm not exactly qualified to say what good music is.

@Benthoven I think you just contradicted yourself.

@Holysocks Not sure what you mean.

@Benthoven You grew up in the 70s and 80s. I think you have an idea what might constitute as good music.

@Holysocks There were some great bands in the 70s, who continued into the 80s, and the 90s. There were also some really awful bands, one-hit wonders, complete wastes of vinyl. Some of the craziest and worst music came from those two decades. The same is true of the 2010s. Some amazing artists have emerged, brilliant, along with a whole slew of "produced" music created mostly by drum machines and technology. I see this era pretty much the same as any era. There have been innovators, and there has been the underwhelming.
