A line in the song "Roll 'em Easy" that starts at 06.50.

Cheers Cisco, I'd forgotten how much I like this band.

great band , yeah we forget ..... there was so much great music back then .................. i do do think this gen are pushing ****e up hill trying to do new great music ................... but some have managed to do it .

I think the "manufactured" music industry has killed off a lot of creativity.

Great music is usually a collaboration within a group of artists. Groups do not seem to happen any more. With the TV shows like Idol etc, music has become more a "me" thing than a "we" thing.

If the great bands of the 60s, 70s and 80s were starting off today I doubt they would get past first base. The Stones have said as much as well as Joe Walsh.

True. There's going to be a generation saying, "Man, you should hear my grandpop's music collection, it rocks!

Would you mind keeping all this rubbish to one thread?

thanks

There already is. My kids (26 and 23 yo) reckon we had the "best music."

Had a large round the campfire all in music night a while back. The kids that had a go were all singing and playing songs from the 60s and 70s.

The main issue in the last 10 - 20 years has been manufactured pop. A small group of muso's write 99% of the stuff and it is offered out to the record companies. That's why the last 20 famous late-teenage chicks all sound the same - they don't write their own songs!
It is too easy, record company gets 2 - 5 cute chicks who can sing and dance, all the songs are written for them, and bam! licence to print money for a few years then do it again with a new group.

Those who learn to play, write stuff and make a band are very rare and it must be so hard for them.

And then - where is the innovation now? Techno, rap and metal / hard rock have sounded the same for a good 20yrs.

All the BIG things that changed stuff was about then ...... Nirvana and Pearl Jam 1990 ish. Dr Dre with groundbreaking rap 1992. Techno progression in 1990 - 1994 ish. Then stuff-all for the next 20yrs, just same sounds.
