| re: Why is there no "great" music anymore? This is all totally relative. I couldn't give 2 fricks if led Zeppelin (or however you [mis]spell their name) or Simon and Garfunkel had never existed. How do you think people that listened to Beethoven or Vivaldi or Erik Satie play their own compositions live would feel about the music of the 60's (or 70's, or any other era)? Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Everyone has an opinion on MUSIC. It depends on how old you are. And when and where you grow up. IMO the music from the late 60's and into the early 80's is the best I have ever listened to. I am NOT impressed with the ROCK from the 90's and the 2000's. They FOLLOWED the greats. Think about it. There is NO band today that could make a SONG like "DREAM ON" and it have the impact that IT had. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: No they couldn't but the the reason is sociological more than musical. There are Plenty of songs just as good but not as impact full because of the modern landscape of music Reply • Back to Top |
| there is great music today. Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes and Gary Clark Jr are all producing great music today. it appears some people just don't care for new music Reply • Back to Top |

quote: Remembered by who? There are plenty of great bands and great songs worthy of remembering, but they won't be remembered widely because of the points touched on already. Good music is not synonymous with mass appeal these days. Try and wrap your head around this: popularity has no bearing on the quality of the music. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: This. I can think of hundreds of songs that I will remember in 30 years. I'm sure you can think of hundreds of different songs. Thats exactly what I was trying to say. The landscape of music has changed to the point that peoples musical tastes are so refined that we will never see another Zeppelin, Beatles, Stones etc because the days of widespread popularity being focused on one or two bands is over. That doesn't mean the music is any worse. Like I said. That is a sociological issue not a musical one. Reply • Back to Top |
| The fact that there are new versions of The Monkees spawned just about daily, doesn't help. Plus, The Monkees had a modicum of talent. Reply • Back to Top |

| It's nothing more than a matter of opinion. I completely understand where you are coming from with this. In my opinion, 90's music is easily my favorite. It just has a certain sound that works for me. Maybe because it's what I grew up on. This goes for rock or country (I'm a fan of both). I do realy like and appreciate older forms of each, but not as much. There are some newer songs now and then, that catch my attention, but for the most part, I can't even understand how anyone likes most of the music being made that takes up the airwaves of radio. Thats just my opinion. To me melody seems to have taken a backseat (or even thrown out all together) to shock lyrics in much of rock music. Songs like Bad Girlfriend and Crazy Bitch and such, rely on young ears that don't have an appreciation for a good sound. But they get requested every day by someone. I don't care too much about the lyrics in music. If the song speaks a good message, great, but to me it should sound good first. Reply • Back to Top |
