Re: New Poll--Are music's best days in the past?

Let's not forget 'the perception' from our generation
that today's music (used loosely) can't hold a candle
to the past so people like myself don't even seek out
what's being offered up today. I simply keep listening
to the 'harkening back' radio stations that still exist.
Guess the term 'blind & indifferent' applies in a lot of
cases!

Tom,
I've tried to keep up with the current music trends and have
been getting all of the "NOW That's What I Call Music" CDs.
It's been an eye opener that as the series has progressed, the
number of tracks off the CDs that I put on my ipod has steadily
gone down over the years. There are some current artists whose
music I like, but much of the more recent stuff I can't even
finish listening to.

Guess what I'm saying is- like me the
majority simply don't even put forth
the effort. At least you're more open-
minded despite the results!

Happy Monday!!!
Its my opinion that we are indeed in a shallow time in popular
music. But I cannot discount that at some point, there be will
other 'fluorescent era's...its just a matter of time.
Will there be another group like The Ventures?.....never.

I watched Joe Walsh last night on cable on the Palladium channel
of "Live from Darryl's Place." Darryl of Hall & Oats.
There's an interim part of the show where the guest and host and
band members sit around the dinner table. Joe Walsh made a great
comment on todays music.
He said; "Beyonce just came out with a new song. She had 5
songwriters and 3 producers on the song which only had 8 words
in it."
Joe is all for live music with its emotion and even mistakes.
Go Joe !

Nice hearing from you Rich. Hope all is well
with 'you guys' down there in Florida.
That is a super show. Would die to see THE
VENTURES appear.
Joe Walsh said some nice things 'bout our heroes
in the past & evidentally is filled with lots of 'astute'
observations!

These days with my eyesight not well, I test apps, you know?
Those programs you see on iPads and Android mobiles? The latest
one really became a real job. The entire app is co-owned and
sponsored by a popular act (been allot in the news lately).
Open the app, you see groups with very imaginative names with
all the same instrumental track - Boom, Boom, Boom and lots of
electronic base with guys/gals talking poetry in a monotone.
It's very hard on my ears, but I have to listen and fiddle with
the controls to see if the app is working correctly.
I asked a relative of the younger generation about some of these
'artists'. Sure, they know them and even know how to pronounce
their strange names! Do you like them or remember any of the
actual music of their songs (I ask) - nope! I'm afraid these
groups will not be remembered for their music but for scandal
and showmanship.
I think teenagers of today will grow up remembering and loving
the music their parents and grandparents listened to, not some
pop styles of today.

Old Flogger---Yep! That's exactly what I've been doing.
After playing guitar for 5 decades and now finding near nil new
discoveries that I truly enjoy...
my dissatisfaction with the current music situation has obliged
me to compose more of my own tunes,
which at the very least helps keep my interest up.
But anyway, even from my very beginning interest in music, it
was creativity is that hooked me on guitar.
My goal has always been to place into the repertoire(even if
only my own) some original compositions.
More tunes, more choice.
