What popular songs show signs of musical improvement?

[AbsolPowers]

If you don't understand what I mean by this, what popular songs are you all glad to hear as if popular music shows signs of improvement? I mean, I LOVE music, really

Among many
-Anything by Maroon 5
-Anything by Lorde (except Royals, can't stand es bland)
-Counting Stars by OneRepublic
-Animals by Martin Garrix

Lorde is all I really turn up if i'm listening to a Top 40 station.

Although i'm usually listening to either my own music or a sirius station.

Kamelot is still good.

Animals by Martin Garrix is a good song, but it's absolutely nothing compared to the variety you can find in the EDM scene. There are many great songs out there in that vast realm. I'm not saying it's a bad song, just that if you get into that, you'll see there is so much yet to be discovered.

Anyways, right now, I can't really tell. I know The Neighbourhood are pretty popular in what they do and I'm really in love with what they do. Lorde is also really good.

Happy to see my fave song by lorde is number nine, Team will slay

Animals is the first popular song I've heard thats EDM that ISNT Avicii, Zedd, or Skrillex. Not so much an EDM person, but I like every now and then

Tomorrow I will go and find some Neighbourhood songs



Also found that Unconditionally is REALLY good in my taste. And, side note with Maroon 5, Projcect Daylight made me cry.

If you like Indie Rock/Pop you might like The Neighbourhood or if you're just open to any type of music. I never was a fan of indie rock/pop but I must say they did pretty well lol. I instantly got hooked to their music.

uhhhhhhhh
St. Vincent - Birth In Reverse (OFFICIAL AUDIO)


Sorry, I only listen to unpopular music

 

[Troll]

what do you mean by "musical improvement"? you're first sentence didn't emphasize this enough.

 

[AbsolPowers]

I mean, like what popular songs actually DESERVE to be up there and is good and shows the future of music is bright and yes I am aware I used and like ten times and that this sentence is really long.

Ab-Soul - Nibiru

I love this song.

 

[CaptainShyguy]

I was going through my Itunes Library and I stumbled upon Capital Cities' ''Safe and Sound'' which is a song I absolutely love and don't mind listening to it over and over again (at some extent, I'll try not to abuse).

i think you're forgetting musical taste is subjective and whether it's "good" or not is left up to the listener

Like others mentioned, I thoroughly enjoy Lorde's music, notable Team and Buzzcut Season. I'd also mention some of Adele's songs like Skyfall.

I think you're forgetting just because something is subjective doesn't mean good and bad are negated.

I can easily say something is bad because I don't like it.

good and bad are decided by the listener. if a large number of people agree that a song is bad and one person believes it is good, then that makes the song bad to the number of people who don't like it and good to the person who likes it. there is no universal force which governs the quality of a song.

the topic just circlejerks the idea that all popular music is bad. there are a lot of people who actually enjoy the music played in the top 40 and wouldn't consider it bad by any means.

I can easily say something is bad because I don't like it.

and someone can just as easily disagree with your opinion on that.

Not based on the music industry as a whole, but Pills N Potions is a huge improvement over Nicki Minaj's previous stuff, probably because I love ballads and this is pretty close to a ballad (then she ruined a glimmer of hope with Anaconda, lord it's horrible).
