Do you guys like Adele's music?

another get approval thread.

If you like that yelling,over the top singing style which seems to be popular these days, just go with it.

Not my cup of tea, but the top of your lungs, dramatic is what the masses appear to like.

We can thank some of the 80's "entertainers" for this now accepted style of "art"? Mariah Carey comes to mind.

Vocal range of 20 octaves and delivering in every chorus, is mandatory. Add dramatic background dancers for the video naturally.

Muzak doesn't seem so bad now...

I have a kinda rare Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" Given to me in 1980, by a friend who was hip to the changing music scene. I was still  clinging to my Zep and Stones. 

Its not an uber rare Brit press, but still a US early copy.
It's had numerous plays on awful tables, but surprisingly the music prevails!

Good grief, look at the traction this thread has gained!

I guess the desire to hear new, modern entertainers just isn't one of my things.
I keep going backwards to hear what all of this current music  is attempting to separate itself from. There is limitless stuff to discover in the dusty,grungy bins of my local record stores.

I'll just crawl back into my hole and listen to my records.

Wait a minute...

this is really an Adele promotion gimmick. All this Adele this, Adele that...

We're simply keeping the Adele buzz alive!!

I'm on to it...this thread created 2 bazillion more fans who will download her fabulous over singing. You  guys thought no one would catch on, didn't ya?

This thread really addresses what's changed in music tastes.

Its not a good or bad issue, it's that the "sing at the top of your lungs" has become the norm.

Adele is British, but I wonder  how she would do with something from the American songbook? Could she refrain from the dramatic screaming so typical of today's entertainers?

I highly doubt it.
