Self censorship for the greedy pursuit of gain has to be one of the lowest acts

These days no one listens to the lyrics. That's because the lyrics are either unintelligible or drivel or both. There are no songwriters today of the caliber of Cole Porter and his ilk. Here is one that I'll dedicate to a girl I loved who died last week.

Whatever your tastes, music needs to evolve or it stagnates, just like anything else. I've actually started to listen to some Japanese rock bands, but I'm still a die-hard rock fan. No matter your preferences, just enjoy the rhythm of your likes. That's what it's all out there for.

Jo Stafford was known as the 'Lady with Perfect Pitch' and yet she could sing out of key on the old Red Ingles comedy albums.
Me, I'm old enough to have enjoyed the Big Band era, some of the fifties stuff and then really enjoyed the 60 s , 70s and early 80s music. Since then, not so much.

I worked in China, the Carpenters and The Monkeys were still popular there. While in Japan the Beatles were still popular in 1999, there were a few places that only played Beatles tracks on the piped music, as a colleague noted, "the Beatles were a great band but I didnt realise they produced so much shyte" (he was from Glasgow).

The Beatles produced great stuff. They also let Ringo sing, and put out crap like "Yellow Submarine" or "Octopus' Garden" -- the latter featuring both shitty songwriting and Ringo singing.
Yeah, people tend to forget that only the best music of the era lasts. All the crap that was produced is quickly forgotten.

What band or musician has every released albums where every track was great, album after album...
Believe me, I was a great fan of The Beatles, but there are some tracks I had never heard before that were played every evening in some Japanese restaurants that were complete rubbish, some I hadnt heard before going there, but were genuine Beatles songs. How many dont you know from this lot? List of songs recorded by the Beatles - Wikipedia

I personally think all of the songs on Boston's first album were great, a nearly perfect album. However, the next three not so much...

Two of my favorites.
Pink Floyd had albums where a couple of songs weren't amazing, but weren't crap.

Atom Heart Mother, Umma Gumma…pleasant memories. They tell me I had good time back then.

That's another thing - the memories attached to music can make a mediocre song really enjoyable.
