''Today as I write this petition, I write it in voice of all the countless conversations, I have had with people in my daily life, that have told me that the state of the music and radio industry is in the pits. As the years go by so does the style of music. During the 60's, 70's 80's and 90's the music was an array of splendor that defined the times, that we were living in. Back in the day the music had a deep connection with the soul, it gave life to emotions that were scared to be conceived my the human mind, and heart. The music from back then had a quality that only could be created once. During the phases of music that came along brought about such extraordinary performers as, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, The Beatles, Prince, Madonna, Mariah Carey,Whitney Houston, and many other artist that really have had a place in our lives, and gave us music that we as people will remember to our last dying breath.
Now it seems that in the last ten years, the music ,the industry has totally lost it's passion, it's eye for real talent ,real musicians, just the overall importance of producing an delivering a product that was acceptable and worthy of being purchased, and listened to. When most people listen to the radio now, there is no verity, no singing about anything of substance, or anyone that is remotely talented enough to keep the attention of the listener for more than 5 minutes! The state of the radio has become a wasteland for the robotics that consume the market as we know it! I understand that we all as people have our different preferences in what we consider music, what we see as talented, but as a person that loves quality, that is truly in love with a harmony, real melodies, actual instrumentation, lyric content that surpasses ordinary vocabulary formation of real, and meaningful words.

I needed to post this here because this is a (mainly) pop music forum and this is very present in nowadays pop music. And also because I agree with all that is written there.
