Hi Kat and thanks for the welcome, my musical taste is broad, i grew up listening to so many different types of music, classical, rock, blues, pop, rock n roll, jazz, swing, soul, r n b to name a few.
Music to me is about a feeling, emotion, if i hear something that grabs my soul i love it, depending on the mood i am in.
I love it when i hear a new band or artist and their music is a fusion of influences creating a new sound, brit pop is the product of kids listening to the stones, small faces, beatles, kinks and their peers, thats what gave it the kick. If i listen to an album and dont feel the need to skip a track i am happy.

The pop charts decide what kind of unsigned bands will get the chance to have some exposure tomorrow. The better music is there in the charts, the better music you by bands who used to be unsigned you will have the chance to discover.

I have only discovered this site recently and just read this article.. Blah blah blah.. Pop charts arent an indicator of how good a song is, think of all those unsigned bands that will never be heard by the masses because some fat cat sitting on his sweaty arse didnt like what he heard on the demo, not that it wasnt great music but because he knew it wouldnt appeal to the highest demographic.
The music industry like any other industry is run by accountants, soulless slaves to the folding stuff, they dont care what is being produced as long as it gets sold in huge amounts. Mr Blobby comes to mind..
since the preceding article was written we have seen the birth of You tube and it’s competitors, The unsigned can be heard by masses day and night and it is a very interesting time for popular music.
