Music Trend

I really love those music, in fact I am at their age and you can expect me to like them also. How about the old trend? Beatles music? Led Zep music? Still not fade but a derivative of their sound can create a trend. Like what Guns n Roses and Def Leppard became after influencing Deep purple and 70’s rock.
If you are trying to understand a conversation with your teenage children, or are working in an office where everyone seems to be raving about someone named Lady Gaga and her latest hit, "Telephone," then you might need a bit of assistance. After all, the pop world can be too cruel and sometimes the minute you get to know who someone is, they are no longer a part of the landscape. And since not many people listen to the radio anymore, but television is certainly still a popular means of entertainment, it makes sense to figure out where the best videos are, as well as the right kind of pop culture commentary that will not only teach you who Lady Gaga is, but will inundate you with every piece of knowledge possible on her.

When it comes to considerable options for music-related television viewing, satellite TV offers a number of different opportunities. For one, you could simply switch to MTV, but sometimes this ends up being a bit of a risk. It might seem intuitive to assume that a channel with initials that mean "music television" would be showing videos, but these are different times. Today, while you might catch the latest big world premiere or see 30 seconds of something, the usual content on MTV is closer to endless reality television with occasional briefs on fashion and entertainment. However, the numerous MTV spin-offs, which focus on particular decades or whatever videos happen to be hot right now, are a good way of getting in touch with what is the head of each genre out there.

But there are also countless resources on satellite tv simply devoted to giving a rundown of what has been big lately, and that is usually the best way of figuring out what is worth spending money to listen to all of the time, and what is not quite up your alley. For an overview of the entire pop culture world of the past seven days, including various music-related happenings, VH1 offers the witty and biting commentary of "Best Week Ever," where comedians and people who used to be famous trade barbs on whatever the leading ladies and gentlemen of pop culture are up to. Whether it's Britney Spears, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, or even the odd rare name of someone old-school like Prince or Mick Jagger, VH1 has it covered.

music trends reflect Motown sound

I guess Amy Winehouse is a trend setter these days. No, I'm not talking about her ratty unyielding beehive hairdo, eclectic lack of style nor her knack for being a tabloid frenzy due to her steadfast addiction to crack cocaine.

I don’t think anyone believes her dope-filled antics are amusing just like even non-Hip-Hop listeners know Lil’ Wayne needs a five-step plan for that Styrofoam cup.

However, it does seem that Wino-house was a modern-day trailblazer in redirecting the resurgence of the ’60s and ’70s Motown inaugurated sound. The return of soul in soul music, has jumped into the forefront of a new wave R&B style.

From falsetto geared crooning like Smokey Robinson to Supreme’s inspired dance-routines, it seems the music industry is in a time warped vogue that brings new meanings to what’s old is new. Individual’s like Raphael Saadiq from the ’90s trio Toni Tone Tony released ’The Way I See It’ which feature unadulterated un-modernized vintage soul music spanning Motown to Big Band. When listening to Saadiq smoothly voice-waltz over tracks evocative of classic Motown soul like “Love That Girl’ or listening to Stevie Wonder wield his signature harmonica on “Never Give You Up,” make my chest burst with pride to be a Detroiter.
