Beat VS Melody what makes a song good? + other music opinions by me

musicHee. I'm bored, and the radio is on in my house, playing a Hip Hop station. Me and my mom have talked about this before, she doesn't like my kind of music (Rock), says it has no bass. You have to have some kind of melody to make a song. Today I was watching VH1, and that Gwen Stefani song "Holla Back Girl" came on. Ugh. All it has is drums and singing, no melody what so ever. Terrible song. And it was number 1 not to mention. Another one if you are familiar with rap music "wait (The Whisper Song)" has to be one of the most pathetic songs ever written. They whisper through the whole song with a beat playing in the background, again no melody. I'd rather listen to a song like Donny Osmond's version of "Twelfth of Never" which has practically no bass, but a nice melody. Also a good voice, which brings me to a new point. So many people these days are getting record contracts and having hit songs when they can't carry a tune in a bucket. Rap is a way for people with no musical talent whatsoever to get famous. All they need is some story to tell (i.e. 50 Cent) and some songs with catchy beats, and ta da, famous. And some say "Well they have to know how to rhyme" Well I can ryhme on the sopt too, and make up poems about anything, it's called improv. Yeah it's pretty cool if you can do it and make sense, but it doesn't mean that you can produce music. Oh yeah, and then those that claim all rock musicians do is scream. No, that's not so, that in things like Death Metal that they do that. I can name alot of rock frontmen that can really sing; Ozzy, Lenny Kravitz, Robert Plant, Axl Rose, David Coverdale, Jon Bon Jovi just to name a few. Screaming? I think not. I'm also a fan of Motown/ Calssic Soul music. Ah music of the 60s-80s...Back when there were actual love songs not "Shake that ass" and all that sex stuff all the time. What ever happened to nice songs like "How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You" and "My Girl" Even songs like "Sexual Healing" they were subtle, not raunchy and just flat out disgusting like many of the songs today. I can't wait for this to DIE! Or fade from popularity at least...I miss the good stuff and I wasn't even alive when it came out. I'm 13 you know...Betcha never thought a youngin like me would think this. But I believe I belong in those decades I menttioned. I should've been born in the 60s, so I would grow up in the 70s, and be an adult in the time of Hair Metal. All the concerts...Yeah. I'm not supposed to be 13 in 2005. I'm supposed to be in 1975...
