Answers:
All of them play "real music!." People on this site are always, and I assume it's out of hyperbole and not just out and out ignorance, mistaking something not being "real music" for simply music they don't like!. My sort of rule is that if something can be construed in any way as music it generally will be!. You could look to some basic components like melody, rhythm, composition, etc!., but "real music" is an incredibly large umbrella!. Good or bad are good or bad, neither really points at real or not!.

As a qualifier, I guess I could say that I've worked in studios, played music for years, made records from both sides of the glass, loved music for years, etc!. I think honestly to answer this question it is simple logic!. Anyone who would honestly try to say that any of those aren't music is being the worst type of fascist!. An ignorant one!.

You could say that I'm a little bitter lately, but these sorts or inanity and the fact that you can't look at a page of questions without open and stupid mockery (and not even sarcastic, playful mockery) is sucking the fun right out of this place!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

If you mean real like actually true or whats happening now in life or happening now in their life then I would say!.!.!.!.
Miley Cyrus!.
She writes songs and music about whats real in her life!.
She writes songs about relationships, breakups, friends, and she did write a song called 'i miss you' which she wrote about her grangpa who died!. she was really close to him and everything!.
Her music is really real and true!.
also the Jonas Brothers do write real music and also made up like the song 'year 3000'

All music is real, even the Jonas Brothers produce real music, it just happens to be, in my opinion, of a low quality/talent!. There is no such thing as "fake music"!. People tend to label music as not being "real" just becuase they don't like it or the genre!.

I have the authority to judge any artists' music who decide to realise it to the public, and form my own opinion on it!. However, i don't have the authority to call it "fake" just because I don't like it, and I don't have the authority to badmouth other people's opinions about it!.

Real Music is Real People playing their Real Instruments Themselves!. Pretty straightforward I'd say!.

With the possible exception of The Jonas Brothers (They don't play their own Instruments I don't think) all the Bands You listed are real Music, even if they aren't all My style, or even very good in all cases!.

What makes me an authority!. I am a Musician descended from Three Generations of Musicians!. I play three Instruments at Virtuoso Level!. And have played them for 30 years!. My Mother was a Concert Pianist, there isn't a piece of Classical Music written She couldn't perform brilliantly!. My Father did session Guitar work for Hank Snow and Hank Williams Sr!. My Uncle has a Bluegraas Band with nearly 20 CD's out and has played on Albums for Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs!. I know Music and I know the Music Industry!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

"Real" Music has to have a good strong bassline, a strong guitar riff, pounding drums, meaningful lyrics, and a great vocalist to sing those lyrics!.

Of course, "real" bands can't be afraid to throw in a piano, or cowbell, or something else!.

Right off the bat, that removes rap from the category of "real" music!.

Bands like:
Metallica
Megadeth
Helloween
Anthrax
Nightwish
Dream Theater
AC/DC
Guns N' Roses
Judas Priest
Queen
Aerosmith
Kamelot
Blue ?yster Cult
Def Leppard
Iron Maiden
Dio

Really, there is no true "authority" on what music is or is not real!. IT all depends on the tastes of music you were born with!. The more you listen to them, your more strongly you feel about them, and will defend them!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am the authority of my taste and what I like!. Imho, real music is music that comes from the heart,it touches the soul!. Music that is written by the band (not outside writers) reflecting their moods,emotions etc!. It has substance!.Its music that the band created for themselves,not for the masses but the fans can relate to it!.Its not hyped,or shoved down peoples throats in the hopes of selling lunch boxes!. Its not sponsered by a corporation!. The artist wasnt told that they "have to have a ballad to sell more albums"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

well, anything that is under a genre is some sort of music!. some, like the jonas brothers, suck!.
there's no authority over what is music and what is not, but there is something called good music preference!. we all have different preferences, but there is the music that is talented and the one's that were just made to become fashion icons or every stupid girl's crush!. *shudders*

The ramones
the who
nirvana
u2 (maybe)
led zeppelin
weezerWww@Enter-QA@Com

From your list: The Who, Nirvana, and Zep all make good music, the others I'm not too particularly fond of!.!.!. they just aren't my cup of tea!.
But I agree with Roxel - some bands just don't make good music!.

I only authorize music for myself and no one else!. I can't tell someone what they should and should not like!. I can only tell myself what sounds good and what, in my opinion, doesn't!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's a matter of how good and how creative the music is!. It's a matter of taste and opinion!. Some music is just terrible other are Good!. In my opinion (out of this list) the best are:

The Ramones
Nirvana
Led Zep
The Who
U2
Weezer

And I can tolerate

ParamoreWww@Enter-QA@Com

You made me the authority when you asked me this question!.
All of the above play "real" music, but I can't say FOB or Jonas Brothers since I know nothing about them except they are a media mogul and usually bands like that don't have a strong musical background!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

what makes real music!?! just the fact that you like it!.
I like most of the band on your suggestion (exept jonas brother and fall out boys)!.
music is about how u feel it !.u can`t say : I don`t like it but cuz other people like it it`s real music!.the only authority in this matter is our individual taste!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Fall Out Boy
Nirvana
Led Zeppelin
Paramore
The Who

It's called "my opinion"!. I'm not saying I'm an authority on real music!. It's just what I like from that list and what I haven't picked I don't like!. End of!. ^^Www@Enter-QA@Com

I can be the authority for my own taste in music!. I'm not judging anyone elses tastes!. All music is real, some is just a hell of a lot better than others!.

Nirvana
U2
Led Zeppelin

Thats all I like from your list!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

ramones, the who, nirvana, U2, & zeppelin

Music is a form of art!. Anything can be considered real music, if you ask me!.

Now, if it's good or bad music, that's the only question I see!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

The Only Good Bands from that list are The Ramones, The Who, Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, and Weezer!. I think Real Music has meaning and it has to be catchy!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yeah, I can judge the music I wanna listen to!.

In my humble opinion!.!.!.
Nirvana
The Ramones
The Who
Led ZeppelinWww@Enter-QA@Com

every music is real!.it's up to people's taste will they like it or not!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

can i add one to the list!? i'm gonna anyways!. BLINK-182!

Www@Enter-QA@Com

That depends on what you mean by "real"!. Technically, all of those bands play real music, because it is not literally fake!. However, if you mean it the way you think you mean it, then I will continue on with my answer!.

To me, real music to me has some kind of message or purpose!. And it doesn't sound like every other band that is currently popular!. It is unique!. It's got something about it that stands out and makes it special!. It is inspires other bands, and leaves its mark in music history (can't be a black mark!)

The Ramones: Yes, I consider them real music

The Jonas Brothers: No, everything about them comes off as corporate to me!. The message behind their songs, the style, the unoriginality, everything!.

The Who: Yes, real music indeed!. Legendary, as the Ramones were!.

Nirvana: Yes!. They helped to usher in a new era of music!. It was popular at the time BECAUSE of them, which is why they aren't corporate garbage!. Sometimes you just have a sixth sense on what is real music and what isn't!. Nirvana, is!.

U2: Definitely real!. Legendary band!.

Led Zeppelin: Real music!. Do I really need to explain!?

Paramore: Not very familiar with them, but I've heard a song or two and have seen a picture of the band!. Being that I have not familiarized myself with their music, I will not judge them!. But from what I do know, it seems they are riding the coattails of some popular trends, both in style and in music!. Beware!.

Weezer: Can you think of another band that sounds like Weezer!? No!. I will say that they are real music!.

Really, there is no given authority on such a thing!. Lol, it's all opinion! Whether your opinion is in the majority or the minority directly depends on your opinion, though!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
