Where has all the music gone?

Shoktek, music relfects the times. The 60' and 70's were turbulent, the music was much more radical as it bitched about society. I think we're in luck, as far as music goes, because " I see the times achanging" back to that again.

hehe...yes, they certainly are changing...heading in the right direction, I do not know..

Well, that might be your opinion.

Rap ain't all that bad, I enjoy a lot of it, but just like any genre of music there are going to be artist that suck total ass and are just basically clones of another artist but flawed.

Just like how I think Metallica sucks sweaty ape balls, but that doesn't mean all rock sucks.


Anyways my 2 shekels.

No, it's a fact.

Lysergic, what's the exchange rate on shekels?

How about we at least attempt to keep this thread On Topic

...although...I can forgive the discussion on cars, as they are kinda my passion...

2.00 ISRAELI SHEKEL (ILS) = 0.4458 US DOLLAR (USD)

I dont think music nowadays is necessarily worse, just different. It all depends on what you like, and what constitutes as talent to you as an individual.

Rock and roll peaked out in the early to mid seventies and has went down hill ever sense.

I am old enough, and luckey enough to have seen in concert some of the finest musicians in history

Yes I really dont own a rock record that has been published since 1982,

And I envy you so much with your concerts, I have no one left to watch except Metallica, except they tour with a bunch of new # anyways.

One thing we definatly see here, people are passionate about their tunes. BTW, saw Queen in 78, WOW.

Well, I gotta admit, I like their artwork.

Who are some of the greats yo have seen??

I could have equalled you there, Agent. But, I recently acquired David Bowie's Reality. It's quite good. And I understand his current record is also good.
