Music rant!!!!

It's been a while since I've discussed one of my favorite topics- music. So here we go.

Number one- the Backstreet Boys. Yes, they're still around, still making music...does anyone care? Not particularly. I don't know what it will take to make these guys think that nobody is interested anymore in middle-aged dudes who have not exactly aged gracefully (come on, between them and 'N Sync, the Backstreets were never the better-looking) and they generally are still putting out the same type of music that they made 10 years ago- i.e. boring ballads.

Number two- the Spice Girls. WHAT IS THIS 1997 ALL OVER AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?!?! So as you MAY have heard, the Spice Girls reunited and are currently on a fairly massive world tour which apparently is going quite well. Musically, not so much. Their "comeback" single (and we use that term loosely), "Headlines", flopped quite terribly on the UK charts, meaning that it wasn't some gigantic number 1 hit. Their greatest hits CD "only" reached number 2 on the UK charts and is currently being sold only through Victoria's Secret right now in the United States. Being that the Spice Girls were never as popular here as they were across the Atlantic, though they were fairly massive nonetheless, I doubt their CD is going to cause much sensation in this country.

Number three- Girls Aloud. Oh I'm sorry, their new album Tangled Up is only the most amazing thing to smack pop music right in the face this year. It's been out for over a month and I still can't get over it.

That's all I can muster up for now.
