omg is Bad Boy Bill still active???

Not sure if “What Happened to the Music?” by Don Cornell and Teresa Brewer counts, but I love the damn song so much I don’t care. A couple of “kids these days!” curmudgeons blast new music and lament how it just ain’t as awesome as it used to be, mannn. Rockism back in 1953!

R. Stevie Moore - Records

Music was my first love / and it will be my last / Music of the fu-tuuuuure / And MUUUSIC of the paaaast! 🎵

Tempted to post Indeep’s “Last Night A DJ Saved My Life” as well, but I guess it’s too circumstantial. Saving someone’s life with a song is pretty awesome tho.

the spinners, "i love the music." also one of my fave album covers.

A.R.E. Weapons’ whole vibe is generally this.

Lord Echo has a nice cover of the O Jays I Love Music.

Triumph, "Magic Power" (apologies if linked above, work currently blocks YT)

this has exceeded my expectations. thank you for posting everyone!

there's never a wrong time to post Last Night a DJ Saved My Life

Dan Hartman - I Love Makin' Music

This is one of my favorite kinds of songs

Lost In Music
Words and Music by Saint Etienne (entire album)
Because It’s In The Music - Robyn

not to spoil the fun but there's actually a wikipedia page about this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_about_music

tho I guess they're all not necessarily about how awesome music is

From Ruff Sqwad's second mixtape. Probably the only time you'll hear a grime MC admitting that they like Phil Collins

When I was a kid I used to hate - hate! - songs that even mentioned music. Dance to the Music by Sly and the Family Stone was a specific annoyance. I dunno, it always seemed corny and maybe like they were breaking kayfabe in a way. I'm long over that mindset, but did anyone else ever feel like that?

Glad you're over it, because...

The Nightwriters • Let the Music (Use You)

Common - I used to love H.E.R.

Could count, at least half of it.
