Music is in a constant state of change, keeping it in line with shifts in popular culture overall as genres rise and fall in popularity and technology trends change how music is made and how we listen to it.
They say change is good, and often that's the case, but veteran music critics Wayne Bledsoe and Chuck Campbell and their musician friend John Baker have been irritated and incensed by some of these changes - some of them were just temporary bumps in the road and some of them have been permanently irritating.
On this week's "How We Heard It," the guys debate music trends that got under their skin and stayed there, including shifts in rock, pop, R&B, rap and country music as well as how music is produced on stage and in the studio.
And a special note to today's performers: Please stop singing with dead people. It's just creepy.
