The Gates of Delirium off the Relayer LP! Kashmere by Led Zep. Jimmy Page and Steve Howe two of the best guitarist ever!

I am just getting myself into Classic Rock because the quality of music has deterioated overtime. I find myself liking Classic Rock.

Who do you like? My daughter is into classic rock, she likes the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix. I liked the sounds when I was growing up now I like Lorenna McKennet, her 'Mummers Dance' is entrancing.

Today's music is suspect....way too many of today's "artists" are studio singers at best and the music industry boxes them up and shoves them down our throats. R&B;, rock and even the early stages of rap from the 70's and 80's is way better than the crap that is pushed on us now.

Many of the older songs had a message, now they just make up words that make no sense. Pink Floyd is my fave of all time, Just listen to the words to songs like "Us & Them" written in 1972. They knew then what most of u don't know today.

The last two years have been total crap for music. No good music in any genre. With rare exception. 70s and 80s are supreme.

I appreciate all music, partial to rock. Since I was in High School in the 70's, the classic tunes of that era are the ones I'm more familiar, but all the time I hear something new, or a remake of an old tune, and I see artists with the same talent and dedication to music as ever.

The 70s and 80s had Van Halen, Def Leppard, Styx, Boston, and the other great bands we sound like! (Element 115, Phoenix)

Today's music sucks ass. Everything sounds exactly the same. You mean to tell me you'd rather listen to Justin Beiber over, say, Led Zepellin? Kelly Clarkson over Stevie Wonder? Lil' Wayne over Run DMC? Hell, Lady Gaga over a young Madonna?

I was a teenager in the 1970s, so I still remember Helen Reddy, Carly Simon, Olivia Newton-John, and Gordon Lightfoot. It is nice to reminisce to their music, but I have no idea who the popular performers are now. I am just not up to current standards when it comes to popular music.

E.L.P. Welcome Back to the Show that Never Ends, what a song. You look at all three of them, who learned and studied claasical music as their roots, and they'd be the great rock stars they were.

Alot of the music today is remakes or uses samples from the older music. Too much of today's stuff is electronically enhanced. It's like it's all been photo shopped.

Almost all of the bands I love are from the 70s-90s. But there are some great bands today, but as a whole I don't like modern music.

reply
adeenmc... to Always 2012/05/07 20:29:43

Me too. I am a young person and the bands I love are from the seventies and eighties to nineties as well. A few of today's music is okay but for the most part, I rather listen to oldies. I don't like most of today's music at all. Too much autotune and most of today's artists aren't talented at all.
