My rant: Music Of Today

Do not get me wrong. I am loving the fact the charts are full of indie bands, it's a refreshing change from the '90s and the endless "club tracks" that seem to pour into the charts are always thumped by The Kooks, Razorlight, The Feeling, The Arctic Monkeys, Franz Ferdinand, The Fratellis, The Killers, Kasabian, Muse etc. You know the drill. But now it's had the opposite effect. Whereas before I would complain about the lack of good music, I'm complaining about the lack of cheesy tunes! It's just terrible to have to listen to well written songs that mean something every week as number one on the charts these days. It's a bit depressing to be honest, don't you secretly long for the days when you could dance to another rubbish Steps cover song? I'm sick of hearing songs about another ex girlfriend who dumped somebody and is now suddenly walking past you for about two seconds and you can create a 3 minute long chart topper with this "experience". Agh, I shouldn't be complaining about it, but I'm annoyed at the lack of crappy girlbands and boybands to pad out our charts, instead of still seeing James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" in the charts about 20 years later.
