Real good post Oregonpapa. I know a guy who compares all new music to the British Invasion era, being absolutely and forever obsessed with it, especially The damn Beatles. He is constantly bemoaning the fact that his favorite style music is no longer in vogue, and can't understand how anyone can like any new music that isn't like it. I, myself, can't understand how anyone our age can bear hearing a The damn Beatles song again, ever. How many times can a person listen to a song of their's before there is nothing more to hear, for God's sake?! Okay, maybe Rubber Soul, occasionally ;-).
Why does most new music suck?
Ok I will have some exclusions to my statement. I'm not talking about classical or jazz. My comment is mostly pointed to rock and pop releases. Don't even get me started on rap.... I don't consider it music. I will admit that I'm an old foggy but come on, where are some talented new groups? I grew up with the Beatles, Who, Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Hendrix etc. I sample a lot of new music and the recordings are terrible. The engineers should be fired for producing over compressed shrill garbage. The talent seems to be lost or doesn't exist. I have turned to some folk/country or blues music. It really is a sad state of affairs....Oh my god, I'm turning into my parents.
