treeduck Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 As a teen of the seventies it was a great decade for rock but being a hippie at heart I always wished I could have been around ten years earlier. Either way I would have still had to endure the disco era tho I was born in '54 and lived through it all. I looked in horror at the sell-outs to disco. Still think it was the cheesiest of cheesy eras. Thankfully, the eighties got us out of and away from that travesty.Have you gone all over grey yet?

invisible airwave Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It's sad that safe Disney crap like Maroon 5 is what represents "rock" to these millennials. Rock ain't for soccer moms and Bieber fans, damnit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HemiBeers Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 New artists are entirely disposable by the ADHD public and the industry at large. I don't see where many sub top40 musicians will commit to a music career after they realize they're living the life of the starving artist. Then they'll get into acting or build their horseshit 'brand'. On top of that, everything seems highly derivative, so I don't find much that's interesting enough to hold my interest. It's all been done before, no surprises left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all that heroin he did. ;)KEEF is the living zombie!Depressing seeing the worthwhile artists dying off while LeatherFaced Richards stumbles on.

Wil1972 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 While I don't believe the same level of greatness that was achieved during the classic rock era (1966 - 1996, thereabouts) will ever be seen again, there are some good bands up and coming, you just have to look harder to find them. There may not be a Led Zeppelin or a Beatles, or a Rush out there, but there are some interesting bands. Royal Blood and Band of Skulls come to mind. I enjoy both of those groups. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 There aren't the iconic musicians replacing the ones that are dying off. Today's music seems to be more about cranking out a hit and vapidity than actual experimenting and individualism. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's music seems to be more about cranking out a hit and vapidity than actual experimenting and individualism. Exactly. So many underground bands of great worth, but you will never see them reach iconic status as this world is too much focused on what is cool...and not what is innovative. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

librarian Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The next few decades are not going to be pleasant for me in terms of losing favorite musicians.R&R Music will keep evolving but will it have the same impact as when the guitar was first plugged in?Will there be bands that will create the same joy that the Beatles or ______________ (insert your fav band here) had done before?I don't know, but I hope that there will be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 I'm just glad I was alive to have witnessed and live through all that I did. I'm glad I was around when each one of these over-sixty rockers and bands had their first hit - be it a silly 45 or a "long-playing" album. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Rock and roll will never die. The problem is that WE are getting older and watching this wave of OUR greats pass away. But in 50 years someone who isn't even born yet will say the same thing about their greats....even if we wouldn't consider them that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We delusionally and biasedly think ours is the only music of substance and to US that may be so...but our generation wasn't the first and it won't be the last, much as we like to think so. :D 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I was thinking.......now nobody get offended...........I never bought into your own Decade was the best thing........maybe because i never really liked what was mainstream in the 90's. there was great music in the 90's sure.......but my decade ain't my fav. hell Crap abounds in EVERY Decade somewhere, lol Nostolga will blind you. and kill you, lol Mick I agree completely. I grew up with the music of the 60s and 70s, and with a few exceptions I really don't like that music. I do (did), however, like a lot of the stuff that came out of the 90s, but the stuff I was listening to during the 90s was not the stuff anyone heard on the radio. It's stuff that probably no one here listened to at all. One must remember that "good" is in the eye of the beholder. We like what we like, and that is that.

Digital Dad Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 As long as there are bands like Mastodon and Baroness the answer is no. Like Gozer the Traveller it will come in different forms but you will know it when you see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
