I'm a musician myself, play both the guitar and the piano. I listen to a wide variety of music, from any generation and any genre..Satie, Bach, Ohgr, VNV Nation, Pixies, Enya, Morrissey, Tool, The Doors, Faure, Dylan, Aphex Twin, KMFDM, Coldplay, Nirvana, Mozart..etc, etc..
And I also like to listen pop type stuff, that was made for dancing.. Madonna, Britney Spears, J-lo, Katy Perry, Abba.
Listening to mainstream music doesn't diminish me or my musical ability in the least.
If I like it, I listen to it, no matter what elitist music snobs like you guys think!
S&F EA, for being yourself
To a world where the leaders finally confess
To the burning of the Stock Exchange and bombing of the press
To a world without hunger, where royalty face death
To the breaking down of barriers of North, South, East and West
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes
I think the answer's yes, yes, yes, I think the answer's yes
Please wake me up when mainstream pop artists begin to write anything worth my time again, until then their media beats and production will not suffice.

The worst part is that they don't even write it themselves, but instead hire someone to do it for them as they have absolutely no skills themselves.

That's a bit different. I didn't get famous for living in my home.

Yeah not feeling it. Can't do the generic commercial music anymore, not after finding things with more emotion, more musical complexity, more creativity, etc.
Plus one to all the Clutch fans! I was hooked after a friend played Cypress Grove for me years ago.
If you wanna go way away from the pop/dance genre check this one out.
