Pharrell... don't get the hype with this guy... responsible for the absolutely awful Blurred Lines and killed Daft Punk with 'Get Lucky'.. and 'Happy'... one of THE most repetitive pieces of rubbish i've ever heard, about 20 seconds of unique music and 3 minutes of repetition of him clapping along if you feel etc etc... trash. Yet the inaugural BBC Music Awards decided that 'Happy' was song of the year :lol: :lol:

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Love him or hate him, he has been undoubtedly the most influential person in pop music in the 21st century.

His production work as part of the Neptunes is top notch - Kelis's early work is pop music at its best. Also, he single-handedly transformed Justin Timberlake from boyband joke to credible solo performer... If Michael Jackson had took up the offer of using those tracks first, then things would have been massively different from what entailed.

Also his work as part of N.E.R.D. is bonafide pop/hip hop crossover gold - Overall, while his rise as a mainstream success as seen him become almost unavoidable, I'd sooner put up with him than some of the other stuff which is forced on the music world nowadays.

Why?..... People want him to work with them, or produce their records, and he obliges - I don't think his agent or management have to chase anybody for work, more likely its the other way around.

I don't doubt that and his production discography is an impressive one. I'm just still trying to get my head around the whole Daft Punk Random Access Memories thing. I can't work out whether it's a stroke of genius or just a classic example of too many cooks spoiling the broth. I've listened to a lot of 1970s/80s underground disco and Daft Punk's R.A.M. is a bit 'coffee table' in comparison, especially when you consider the personnel involved.

Regarding the Brit Awards, I've heard Royal Blood & Foo Fighters, but how many of the other winners are actually musicians?

The music industry is rapidly filling up with celebrities who can sing a bit.

Its quite interesting really, because its often said that the music industry goes round in circles.... In the 70's, mainstream music had become stale and very, very poor in quality, then Punk, New Wave and the New Romantics came along, and for a short period mainstream music became bearable.... That then faded away and was eventually replaced with the worst era in music ever, the late 80's, when utter rubbish like Wet Wet Wet, Simply Red, Phil Collins and rock groups with bubble perms were forced down people's throats and they sold records by the bucketload.

Eventually, people saw the error of their ways, and even that bastion of sh!te, Radio 1, began to sack that lot off, as Madchester, Grunge and Britpop brought a whiff of 'cool' to the mainstream.... Sadly, that faded away, as talentless gimps like Robbie Williams jumped on the bandwagon and with the introduction of the glorified karaoke that is X Factor, we now find ourselves with the awful situation we are in right now, where somebody as bland and boring as Ed Sheeran is seen as cutting edge... :shock:

Hopefully, if history proves correct, we should pretty soon see some sort of shift change in the music scene.... However, it will require mainstream radio to show some balls and rid itself of the collection of chancers who currently infiltrate the airwaves, and instead find presenters who actually believe in the music and are not just in the business to be matey with the One Direction's and Sam Smith's of the world... People like Nick Grimshaw, Scott Mills and Fearne Cotton are absolute poison in this respect, with their constant promotion of the X Factor glitterati and their ilk.

Of course, there is still great music to be found if you mine a bit deeper than the mainstream, but as for the Brits, for the foreseeable future, they will only get a lot, lot worse.

Agree with everything but I just can't see a new 'scene' emerging and staying around for any length of time. Music is so easily accessible and equally throw-away that even fresh, cutting edge stuff just doesn't stay around long enough to create anything more than a ripple. It's something we were discussing recently, how a musical genre creates a whole lifestyle in terms of fashion and culture. The last memorable one really was acid house. I just can't see where the next punk or acid house is coming from.
