Battle of the Bands

By: Alex Mahoney and Andrew Stookey

 The summer hit “Rude,” by Magic seems not so much a hit after hearing it played about a million times, with the same few lines. But after a thorough listening of the song, a true connoisseur of music can tell it’s nothing but garbage wrapped up nicely

 For one, it is literally the same exact beat throughout the whole song. No deviation in pitch, rhythm, or tune. It has too much consistency. When it comes down to it, it sounds the same during the whole song.

 The sad thing is, that’s how all music is these days. The same things over and over and over again. No variety and it`s getting old. We need some new music. And that’s where the Red Hot Chili Peppers come in.

 They are the obvious band of choice for any listener. They have multiple number one hits, such as “Higher Ground,” “Give it Away,” and “Dani California.” Each one of their Greatest Hits has had a different feel about it, not the same repetitive beat.

 When you bring it back to the Peppers they truly are where it`s at. People don’t seem to recognize true talent these days and that is what is truly upsetting about this generation. All we want is repetition, nothing new like a story being told or an event, just mindless nonsense.
