Science proves it: Today's songs DO sound the same! (Link...) July 27 2012 at 10:24 AM		Lee Griffin (Login leegee_77) HyperScale Forums from IP address 199.72.20.10


http://wtop.com/41/2966000/Pop-IQ Excerpt: "WASHINGTON - If you're of a certain age, chances are you've thought today's popular music sounds samey and loud, compared with music from the '60s and '70s. You were right. Spanish researchers ran a half-million songs from 1955 to 2010 through computer analysis, and found today's songs have less melodic and chordal variety. And it's louder." Lee G.
