as for skrillex, i can't say i'm an expert in music theory or production or that i analyzed all of his tunes, but from what i heard, i can't recognize the genius and impeccable skills a lot of people claim. it just sounds flat and plastic to me, with no soul or swagga.

you obviously didn't even understand what i was saying. my point wasn't even about skrillex, but about the grammies not being an indicator for quality. bitches? lol. gtfo clown!daeMTHAFKNkim wrote:Shut the fuck up ya bunch of bitches.Cornbreadddd wrote:Fucking poetic, spot on, and couldn't have been stated better.baddis98 wrote:you answered your own question. it's about what's the most appealing to the mainstream audience. most of the nominees and winners are pop music in their own categories (not pop as in genre, but as for "popular music"). that doesn't mean that everything nominated for a grammy is shit, but it definately doesn't mean that it's great quality either. awards like these are for people, who don't have the time or the ambition to get deeper into music and therefore always stay on the surface of things, which is fine when it works for them. but it's a fact that there are loads of producers and artists out there, who have a higher quality level than most of these pop artists, but still don't get recognised, because their music is too challenging to sell it to billions, who are satisfied with what the mainstream media channels serve them.Thrilla wrote:but obviously skrillex appeals to a lot more people than burial. you can't deny skrillex's skill. nobody can.

Post links for your 15 too cuz I'm lazy as f to type or copy & paste each song.coopra wrote:daeMTHAFKNkim theres a thread for your whinging over who likes skrillex. Skrillex is doing his thing, in my opinion its terrible music, but im not gonna get into that here as theres a fucking thread for it somewhere else. However knowing your opinion on skrillex I would like to see your top 15...?

Cinema was the top dubstep track of 2011, simply because it was the top dubstep track of 2011. End of story.
