Ray - I cut my teeth on Beatles and Cat Stevens and now I'm a big KT Tiunstall fan. I am attempting to get to grips with delta/ragtime blues just to keep it interesting! However I like to bang out some punk off and on... I love slow blues of Gilmour, Knoffler, Green etc and I'm seeing Suzanne Vega in concert next month - so most things interest me.
Charo.
Seriously.
Sorry sue , I know the first two intimately ( so to speak ! ) but I'm not real familiar with the others except Knoffler although Suzanne Vega rings a bell. Maybe I've heard her and not realized. I'm sure they are all pretty good. I will look them all up. Are you in the US or England ?

I wouldn't put Avril Lavigne on that list, to be honest. I really don't think she's that great of a player or singer.

your right! her music is more poppy than anything else.

it doesnt matter what style a musicain plays, whether they play pop or rock or soul or punk or blues. That does not determine if they are good or not, it is what they play,how they pplay and what they play, and above all that it is personal preferance.
I would say I am not a pop fan at all but I do know that Mark King is an amazing bass player, and that is about as far as I go with pop or it might make me look like a closet pop fan 
I tihnk avril can play and sing, I thin kshe is ok for a wee burd starting out young. She can only get better.
I know a very good female guitar player, she is not famous and her main instrument is the fiddle but she blows me away on a guitar and not only that, she is retired!! So she is at least 60 years old, but looks about 67. She might even be 70 but she can strum,pluck and jam.

My point was that Lavigne doesnt show talent or originality. Not that she plays pop.
Avril Lavigne = another one of those pop artists that all sound the same to me...
Don't get me wrong, but in today's world it's like there's a ton of artists all fighting over the same sound. I can turn on the radio and listen to a couple songs and none of them stand out to me... not saying that the musics not good, or the artists don't have talent it just doesn't seem like people like original music anymore. Kind of sad, but the music from this era isn't going to have hardly any legends like The Beatles, Zeppelin, BB King etc. People aren't going to look at fall out boy or Avril Lavigne and say their music was revolutionary or life changing. guess its up to our generation to change that

as upperkilt she might be developing her craft. shes started songwriting and finding her own image - she plays guitar and will get better I' sure
her second albums better than the first in many ways. perhaps her next album will wow

Amen!!
Thats the MAIN reason that I stopped listening to the radio in 2002.
There is NOTHING original from new artists.
Heck, the older artists from the 90's are putting out better stuff that is more original than the other upcoming artists lately.
I don't know where this worthless new generation of musicians came from but they need to go back and develop their own style before coming out into the light.
=\

2002? that late? lmao..
I stopped listening to mainstream radio in 1986 when i was 16. I decided then that it was the fault of radio stations and commercialised nonsense that was destroying other really good bands rearing from fre depths of the suburbs, from the bedrooms, from the garages, from the "apprieciated" borrowed school hallls.
and SGin,
I think jPage already answered this but so many artists sound the same because so much has already been done, so many styles etc. You will find it hard to get any original bands or sounds now. But now and again you do get a band coming out with a new sound, but it doesnt usually last, they all revert back to "stealing" or "borrowing" other riffs and sounds from long time ago.
There is nothing wrong with this I dont think, as long as it is not very obvious what song they have stolen something from. And as long as the lyrics are different and a bridge etc the nit is a different song. But as far as originallity goes, I have not heard anything original in years. This is why I am stuck in my own personal time warp listeing to The Who, early chili peppers stuff, early stones, ac dc, slf, the alarm, the clash, johnny cash,and a lot more.
I do like some modern day bands but i would not say they are original.
Maybe I just cannot think of any? time for a new topic I think!!
